Mhirdrun is the subject of the previous sim owned by Phiona Mercy. It is a small backwater Barony over a thousand miles to the West of Orcrest, on the coast half across the continent. The current "sim name" is named after it, but the current sim has little relation to it beyond existing on the same continent in The World of Orben. (The continent is known as 'Linothor', but it is rare for anyone beyond scholars to reference it.)

 

While much of the historical lore in Orcrest and Mhirdrun are shared in common, with Orcrest's lore being built from that of Mhirdrun, many things have been altered to make timelines coherent and for the convenience of a wider variety of races being brought into play regionally and to create gods specific to the setting.

​

The setting of Beyond Orcrest is set several hundred years after, and perhaps a thousand miles South and East of the original setting of Mhirdrun.. though the humble barony still exists in the setting for those who wish to write characters from that or other regions of the shared world.

 

Just keep in mind that while the above linked website contains a vast amount of ancient setting lore not featured on this webpage: Several hundreds of years of In-Character time have passed since events roleplayed on that sim almost eight real-life years before Orcrest's opening and you do not have to go through that webpage to enjoy roleplay at face value on Beyond Orcrest.

The optional lore is merely provided for those story-tellers who like digging deeper.
