Elendor

Founded in 1991, Elendor is the premiere J.R.R. Tolkien based world with 2000+ users and 5500+ rooms. Set between the times of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Elendor is devoted to providing a quality roleplaying environment where activity is primarily social and interactive rather than automated. On Elendor, players may take on a character from any of 5 different races and 22 different cultures of Middle-earth, each of which has a dedicated staff of players ready to help you learn the game and how to play. The staff on Elendor is especially helpful and friendly to players who are new to Tolkien and/or to MUSHing in general.

The roleplaying environment on Elendor consists of a beautiful and accurate representation of Tolkien's land of Middle-earth where room descriptions change dynamically with the time of day, seasons, and weather. Elendor has an extensive global command system that includes a finely-tuned skill/stat-based combat system, a full economic system with several forms of currency, an elaborate language system with support for 19 different spoken and written Tolkien languages, and a convenient wardrobe system with which you can create a detailed col- lection of descriptions for your character. Elendor also provides a custom designed chat system with over 100 channels and its own mailer system equipped with over 100 bulletin boards where players plan game activities and discuss Tolkien's writing.
