The World of 1001 Nights MUSH

Physically, the world of 1001 Nights is similar to ours, with a few notable exceptions (such as the island of Krosa itself), due to the workings of gods and magic. Roleplay will be centered on Krosa, an island mainly populated by humans (of the New Religion) and a small colony of elves.
