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.

Bodyguard's Gauntlets
 
A traditional pair of leather gauntlets given to the Royal Guard tasked with protecting the Mother Matron. This armor the ability to conjure a strong magical shield that is medium-sized and can effectively cover half of the upper body without using precise aim. The shield can be summoned from either bracer, but not both of them simultaneously (e.g. you can only produce one shield at a time). This arcane shield can absorb a single physical or magical attack before losing its integrity and vanishing. Alternatively, this gauntlet can be used to create a full-body layer of protection around a companion that has the same properties. After being depleted, the gauntlet will take five posts to gather enough ambient mana from the surroundings to conjure a new shield.


Arcane Focus: Shielding/Warding
 
A tool used for spellcasting, usually a wand or tome. This item is tied to a single element or type of magic (e.g. fire, earth, healing, illusions) that must be declared at the time of purchase. An Arcane Focus grants a small boost in strength to any spells of its matching type that are cast through it.


Protector's Bands
 
A pair of iron bangles hand-engraved with a geometric lacework pattern that resembles overlapping kite shields. These bands are tied to shielding and warding magic and grants a small boost in strength to any such spells that are cast through them. They also have the ability to conjure a strong magical shield that is medium-sized and can effectively cover half of the upper body without using precise aim. The shield can be summoned from either band, but not both of them simultaneously (e.g. you can only produce one shield at a time). This arcane shield can absorb a single physical or magical attack before losing its integrity and vanishing. Alternatively, the bands can be used to create a full-body layer of protection around a companion that has the same properties. After being depleted, the gauntlet will take five posts to gather enough ambient mana from the surroundings to conjure a new shield.





Improving the gauntlets to let the wearer focus magic shielding and warding magic through them as per Arcane Focus and turning them into jewelry rather than actual bracers, but I would be happy to throw a Steel Plate armor material in too. This does give the benefit of not needing to hold the focus in either hand, though.
