City Of Silence has been around a long time and in that time COS has been built upon in many ways. Through the combined effort of many builders and coders we have created a large world full of new areas and adventures. We are a very newbie-friendly mud with clans, guilds, councils, and active admins that make being here an enjoyable experience. Playerkilling is an everyday part of life, and rivalry among clans is legendary. To this day there are still mazes that no players on the mud have been able to solve. Beyond those mazes are powerful items that scarce characters possess and none can aquire through any other means than murder. New areas are always being added to this ever changing mud and new players are welcome to come and share this exciting world with us.
Erandia is based on the now defunct 'Rogue Winds' MUD.
