Join the Game of Thrones!

Imagine a feudal kingdom on a massive continent in a world filled with many cultures and half-legendary lands and an ancient history. Imagine a time where dragons once lived but magic is now dwindling, yet the seasons can be long or short, bringing glorious summers or terrible winters that last years at a time. Imagine a massive iron throne from which seven kingdoms are ruled, with false knights and true all gathered about it in hopes of blood or glory or profit, and shadows behind it pushing the pieces that make up the game of thrones.
Welcome to the official home page for Blood of Dragons, a MUSH (an on-line, text-based RPG) based upon George R.R. Martin's best-selling fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. If you're not yet a fan, we encourage you to check out our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones as it provides a great introduction to the series.
Fully approved by the author, Blood of Dragons MUSH is set some 140 years prior to the books (and some 50 years prior to the novellas The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword), in the days and years following the Conquest of Dorne and in the time of such legends as King Daeron I, the Young Dragon, Baelor the Blessed, Aegon the Unworthy and his brother Aemon the Dragonknight. To connect to the game, point your client to bod.westeros.org:3000.
The focus of the game lies on the nobility of the Seven Kingdoms, and centres around the capital of King's Landing and Sunspear in Dorne, and the aim is to provide high-quality role-playing in a fascinating medieval-inspired setting. To learn more about this setting, see The Citadel, our collection of thematic information about A Song of Ice and Fire.

Please note that both this search will search all of Westeros and a query might very well come up with a result that contains spoilers. So if you're concerned about being spoiled it probably isn't a good idea for you to use it.
Important to remember is also that much of what you might find on the Blood of Dragons pages is non-canon information produced by us for use on the MUSH.
