Onward is a haven for those seeking a truly immersive text-based experience in an all-original high fantasy realm.

Levels and Classes
Onward mud has no levels or classes. Instead, progression is skill based. Your character has the opportunity to learn any skill that is reasonably in their grasp.
Politics & Intruige
Delve into the world where political machinations are woven into the very fabric of society. Here, various factions compete relentlessly for power and influence, through subtle or overt strategies. Form strategic alliances to navigate the ever expansive web of social influence and power dynamics.
Dangerous Beasts and Corruptive Forces
In the annals of history, the world has always been veiled in mysteries and enigmas, with forces beyond the understanding of most mortals lurking in the shadows.
However, in recent times, whispers of change have begun to echo through the fringes of the land. The once tranquil nights now hold an air of foreboding, as darkness creeps ever closer, concealing threats unseen and dangers yet unknown.
Magic & Lore
Magic permeates the very air, both commonplace and elusive.
Ancient ruins dot the landscapes, silent witnesses to a forgotten era. Among their crumbling stones lie saught after relics and treasures, glinting brightly for greedy hands. Potions and concoctions which imbue the common man with fantastical feats abilities are often in marketplaces, their workings a mystery to most, but a way of life to all.
True use of magic is a rare gift. Only a select few possess the innate ability to tap into its power yet its influence can be felt throughout the world.
