"A red horse went out and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth"

The Age of Heroes is gone, snuffed out before most people even knew it had come. It ended in the fire and fury of a global war - The Gene War - and the great purge that followed. It took earth's mightiest champions and in some ways the earth's hope. The worst, however, was yet to come.

"And behold, a black horse and he who sat upon it held a pair of scales in his hands."

Humanity’s judgement has come. It did not come with the end of the heroes. It did not announce itself with the thunder of war, nor the lightning flash of atomic fire as many thought it might. It crept in slowly and quietly, slipping through cities full of people too caught up in their own worlds to notice the silences and voids amid the bustle and din of life.

"And behold, an ashen horse and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hell followed him."

The genophage got into everything: air, water, soil. It spread to every corner of the globe. There was no cure. The result was not a tide of mass death but rather the absence of life. Birth rates plummeted. Schools shut, and the echo of children's laughter disappeared.

It has been twenty years since the last known live birth of a genetically human child. The only new people are mutants whose genetic X-factor seems to make them immune to the Phage. Most of those are clones or hybrids created from genetic material found in strange ‘arks’ hidden around the world. As the mutants rise again, so too do heroes wielding powers beyond the ken of mortal men.

Are these champions the guardians of a new era for Earth, or the harbingers of the final darkness?

"And behold, a  white horse...  and a crown was given to him, and he went forth as a conqueror."

The Age of Heroes may yet come again, if the world does not destroy itself first. Whichever happens, though, this much seems true:

These are the last days of humankind.

Thanks for your interest in our game!

Seasoned MU*ers might notice that we do things a little differently on Inheritance Gambit. TinyMUSH 1.0 came out sometime in 1990 (if anyone knows this date, please let me know!) and over the last 26 some-odd years, we've had a number of derivatives such as the Rhost server that Inheritance Gambit runs on.

While over the years games have incorporated a website to support and enhance the game, it's always been an add-on and much of the way MU*'s are used hasn't changed a lot over the years.

On Inheritance Gambit, we're stripping down the game server side of things. You won't find any 'News' files inside the game such as 'news policy' or 'news roleplay', They're all here, on the website. You won't find a +jobs system or a +bb system. Instead, we use Support Tickets and categorized blog posts. These days people are almost always multitasking and this lets you access information without scrolling your RP and conversations off your screen.

We know it's new, and different. We expect some growing pains. We expect to have to change things. We'd love your suggestions! You'll find places to leave us feedback all over the site. Don't be shy.  We hope you'll enjoy the changes.
