Welcome to Atharia, a world of people that have been cursed to repeat the same life over and over again by a petty god. The people strive to break this endless curse and have broken off into four kingdoms, each one believing they have chosen the right path that will end their curse.
Welcome to Atharia. A world where magic is commonplace and there are 4 known kingdoms. The mortals angered one of the Gods, Larthin, who decides to take ‘time’ from each mortal as retaliation and some of the mortals strive to appease him. There is a fanatic religious cult that works against the mortals. There is royalty, nobility, meddlesome Gods, exploration. The exploration involves finding ruins or mythical creatures (which may not necessarily be exactly like RL’s mythical but are heavily based on them) or discovering new lands or kingdoms. There are Children of Gods that have herculean tasks they must complete. Marriages tend towards being political and it is, should both parties agree it is okay, okay to have a Consort (love spouse) that is all about love. It is not uncommon for the Gods to meddle in the lives of the mortals be it to make their lives worse or better.
There are people that remember the past, considered nobility, and those that do not, considered to be commoner. Though the nobles are highly respected due to their recollection of their past lives commoners and nobles alike work together to find the cure to the Curse. They have formed a social structure to form alliances and help everyone meet their goals of ending the curse.

Currently they are seeking to find a way to appease the gods by travelling the world. It is said there are mythical creatures that could possibly hold the answers to freeing the people of Atharia.
'''OOC:''' Atharia is a high fantasy MUSH that uses PennMUSH with a heavily modified version of FS3. Everyone has the ability to use some sort of magic. What we have as possible things to do: Play the social games (events, slice of life RP), political games (there are different kingdoms, political marriages), exploration, scholarly endeavors, religious focus.

'''OOC:''' Atharia is a world of repeating lives but we are not going to be in any rush to shift into the next one. Us moving to the next life will likely be more based on if the players want to see the changes their actions have done. You will not likely lose any progress you made. You die, sure, but unless specifically requested otherwise you're the same person as you were in the previous life. View it as that in each life something about the world changes. A new kingdom becomes a thing, people who were once noble no longer are because they got wiped out in the previous life and did not get their memories of the past life returned, etc.
An important note is that Atharia is a casual game. Sometimes scenes for plots and over all can come in rapid succession, sometimes it could takes a couple weeks or so before another scene happens. We're more interested in being inclusive and telling stories everyone can enjoy over 'getting plots out quickly' or something. The majority of plots on Atharia will be 1 to 2 scenes long, some times more. The plots with more than 1-5 scenes, at most, are typically ones that will involve player focus.
