Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

On the glittering waves the the Moonsea, a messenger ship bearing the Istan City standard cut across the waves. She had a narrow hull and rode high in the water - a ship build for speed rather than looks. A pair of faded dragon wings curved back from a reinforced prow and a tarps on deck covered catapults and a ballista. The name Sky Shark was written on her bow.

The last three a messenger ship shouldn't really have. But this wasn't an ordinary messenger. In fact, you might say this wasn't a messenger ship at all.

Standing at the helm was a bald half-elf with fair skin and long fingers. Next to him, looking over a book in his hands, was a heavily scarred elf with a gold-hilted sword at his side.

"This is amazing," he said, turning pages. "I would have never thought of stealing an insurance roster."

The half-elf at the helm nodded modestly.

"Captain," a halfling in the crow's nest called down. "There's a ship just off the starboard bow."

The elf put down the book and ran across the deck to the prow. Putting his spyglass up to his eye, he could just make out the ship's name: Diamond of Istani.

He raced back across the ship and looked up the name. Their cargo was listed as "miscellaneous live." The captain looked through the spyglass again at the standard. "Mmm..." he said thoughtfully.

"Captain?" the half-elf asked.

"There be blood gold on that ship, Mr. Dali," the elf growled. "Slave cargo. The best we'd be taking her for are her charts."

"Might b-be worth it, Tarien" Dali said quietly. "S-She'll be r-running off the main waterways."

"Aye," Captain Tarien said thoughtfully. "All right. Hard to starboard, Mr. Dali. Grish!" he called to one of the sailors, "Flag that ship - tell her we've a message for her. Everyone else - arm yourselves. There'll be blood in the water."

The crew let out a ragged cheer.
