Crossroads. A city at the heart of an empire, tormented by a dark past and struggling to throw off the shadows chaining its future.
Gateway is an island empire. Four islands form a ring around a fifth central isle, the place where all ships must pass due to magical Currents. The entire nation is surrounded by a magical Barrier and ruled over by the Emperor, Providence's chosen Keeper of the Gateway. The future of the world of Ikol is charted in this land where shadowy legacies are still unfolding and shaping the lives of those who live here.
Crossroads MUSH is an original-themed, medieval fantasy role-playing game with a dedicated playerbase, friendly and helpful staff, and a world of mystery just waiting to be discovered. Magic, politics, intrigue, and ancient cultures collide in this human world, providing an immersive environment that has our players and staff hopelessly addicted. We value intelligent and grid-driving roleplay, well-rounded characters with flaws, and the contributions made by each individual player to enhance and grow our RP world.

| Recent Happenings and Events
|
- A year and a half after the Tyrean invasion that took control of the Empire, there are signs of changes ahead. The Imperial Council has announced the positions of Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor (both held by Tyreans) have been abolished and a statement, signed by the entire council, gives leadership of the Empire, for a temporary period, to Duke Guardian and Dux Bellorum, Aaric Barca. The message sent out to the people speaks of the threat of foreign assault though as of yet, details are not yet forthcoming.
- That threat, in fact, was what was amounting to a civil war in Tyr. The Empire came to the aid of Andrew Llafarge, brother to the recently deceased Queen of Tyr, to take his country back from Admiral Covington, a man who would seek to take Gateway as well, if he wins Tyr. With ships filled with legionnaires, mages, healers, and other volunteers, the Empire goes to war, eventually helping Andrew and his people defeat Admiral Covington and helping to establish a new relationship between The Gateway Empire and Tyr.

| In Memoriam
|
| On August 31, 2006, Crossroads MUSH lost our friend and co-headwiz, Loki. There are not words to express how much her tragic loss has affected us all. The staff of Crossroads hereby dedicates our game to Loki, whose vision brought it forth from the æther and made it a home for so many people. Loki, you are missed. We love you.
