The game theme is swords and sorcery/medieval, with dragons, priests, and spellcasting. All characters are multiclass, with five basic classes of mage (spellcaster), cleric (priest/godly power), thief (stealth and social engineering), warrior (melee combat), and necromancer (minion armies). Other skill sets, such as druid or ranger, are built from combinations of these.

New players will find an extensive support structure of Avatars, low level areas and quests specifically designed for newbies, as well as extensive on-line help and FAQs. Advanced players will find no shortage of areas to explore, quests to complete, or items to find. Clans, guilds, and player owned shops provide an entertaining place to spend down time.

Ansalon is a Dragonlance MUD (Multi User Dungeon, Text Based Game) where a player can become an imaginary character in the DragonLance world, and interact with other players who are also playing at the same time. Your character can be a Silvanesti Elf, a Neidar Dwarf, a Human, a Minotaur, a fun-loving Kender, or any of a multitude of races.

Ansalon is one of the longest-running MUDs left in existance (est. 1996). It is a stable, well-developed world, with custom code and custom areas to explore. Even over a decade later, we’re making upgrades and changes on a weekly basis!

Ansalon is always looking for new players with new stories to tell and new conflicts to insight. Speaking of stories, check out our stories page!! Thousands of stories from 1999 through now! Read them by author, updated as they post!

Newbies are encouraged and with them in mind, Ansalon offers detailed maps and has many people willing to help out and give advice so that folks unused to Ansalon _don’t_ have to struggle through the often painful process of learning a new MUD. There is a great ‘USE’ command for almost any object you find, give it a shot! Ask questions on the Newbie channel (or OOC), get all of the free maps from the school. And READ that email we sent you, it does have some great information on how to get started!

We fully encourage clans and other organizations. Perhaps you’d like to join the Solamnic Knights? Or join the Conclave of Mages? Or maybe you want to take over the world with Takhisis’ Dragonarmies? No matter what your character wants to do, there’s a clan that should suit his/her taste.

Ansalon is the Dragonlance MUD that people talk about, where we share our love of the DragonLance world without an iron fist… We welcome all of you home.

Recent additions: Feathers (quill pen crafting), 5 coin system, full on insane fishing code!, drinking anywhere that makes sense, corks & labels for potions, fountains that gurgle and refill, nuances that make the game feel real, much much more! See our changes page on the web by year at:
