What Harshlands is

Harshlands was released in 2002. It is available on Android, iOS, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on DikuMUD.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The world of Harshlands is huge. Currently, the world consists of the island of Harn, an island roughly the size of Great Britain, off the coast of the nearby continent of Lythia. Current building on the Mud has not yet finished the island of Harn. For those who are familiar with the Harn RPG World, some countries/cities will not be accessible, but may be added in the future. There are over 16,000 rooms (we stopped counting), all of which pertain to the Harnic world – and all are original. We are constantly expanding the game world and functionality within it. The game world is populated with several humanoid races. Some of these can be chosen during character creation, and others cannot.
