The world and lore of MudGate
MudGate takes place in a torn fantasy world. Its surviving realms are joined by magical portals and the remains of an older gate network.
Icemire and the gate network
Icemire stood at the center of a gate network connecting many lands. Mages, sentries, and small orders maintained the passages.
Some portals still lead between realms, while others stand damaged or silent. Many travelers begin in Lowbird Forest before following a surviving route toward Icemire.
The Goblin War
During the Goblin War, goblins came through lower tunnels and destroyed many surface portals. Icemire's defenders stopped the invasion, but the realm and gate network remained damaged.
A traveler's purpose
Travelers explore surviving realms, reclaim dangerous ground, recover lost knowledge, and help mend broken connections. More of the story is found by exploring and following objectives.
