Dark and Shattered Lands is a free online multi-player game, known as a MUD. It can be played via standard MUD clients or telnet. History Dark and Shattered Lands was created by Tony Allen in 1996. Since its inception it has been awarded with Chosen Game of the Month by MudMagic in September 2006, and is consistently a highly ranked game on Mud Connector, which allows players to vote for their favored MUD. Game overview Races and Classes DSL, like many other MUDs offers a variety of races, over 35 in total, including elves, dwarves, humans, and a variety of animal based races, such as humanoid felines and humanoid canines. Remorts, which are typically created at the discretion of the implementor, are also offered, such as dragons, demons, and giants. The game was loosely based on the world popularized in the Dragonlance novels (most prominently in the fact that Kender characters inhabit the game), but has since delved into other genres and influences to become something wholly unique. It offers a variety of classes including warriors, mages, clerics, and bards and a number of advanced classes such as paladins, shadowknights, and necromancers. Clans and Guilds DSL supports clans, which war each other based on both race vs. race and good vs. evil. It offers a form of a guild system which it calls a "kingdom" which, in the role-playing sense, is a guild in the DSL world generally based on the idea of a domain of rule more akin to a nation as opposed to an affiliation based on skill or clan.
