Elendor MUSH is the oldest continuously running Tolkien role-playing game on the internet. A "MUSH" (Multi-User Shared Hallucination) is a text-based interactive online game in which players navigate and explore a world of textually described landscapes and characters. Elendor MUSH has been continuously running since 1991 and now boasts over 2000 players and a huge world of over 5000 completely unique locations to explore. New players can choose from 5 different species (human, elf, hobbit, dwarf, or orc) and join one of over 20 different cultures (see our cultures page for activity statistics, updated daily).

Elendor is completely free and no registration is required to play. All you need to do is either download some free software or, for a quicker start (but a lower quality experience) you can connect immediately using only the software already on your computer by clicking here. If your browser is configured properly, a telnet window will open and you'll see login instructions.

For more information about Elendor and our commitment to providing this free game devoted to high-quality role-playing, story-telling, and creative writing in the Tolkien theme, see our about page. We hope you enjoy the game as much as we've enjoyed creating it!

We're on new hardware!!! We've just upgraded the server, and we're on a new platform / OS. This should mean some big speed enhancements, but of course, a few things may be buggy. Please report any issues you encounter to the +admin. Thanks!

This year will mark Elendor's 18th anniversary, truly making it one of the longest continually-running games on the Internet. Many thanks to the thousands of players who have called us 'home' over the years, we couldn't have done it without you! Here's to another 18!

An archive of old RP logs has been brought online while the new log system is being developed! Go to Role Play Logs for a walk down memory lane!
