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.

It wasn’t too busy at noon but there were enough people that Aideen really didn’t have the time to sit down. One of the other workers here had said that it didn’t really start to be bustling till nightfall. The thought or the word Nightfall rather, caused her to pale and the bartender looked at her but she brushed away his concern with a shake of her head and a smile.
“Thank you,” she whispered softly as she took up the tray, polite as ever. It was rather easy to get past everyone to the particular table without dropping the tray or spilling the drinks but she was careful nonetheless.
After being here for the greater part of the day, most had gotten used to the fiery-haired elf and she didn’t have people following her every move. Of course, some were still surprised to find her in a simple brown skirt, soft leather shoes and a white shirt with sleeves that stopped at the elbows. Most seemed to expect her to be wearing fancier clothing.

“Here is your drink,” she smiled at her customer, setting their drink on the table with the tray held loosely in her other hand. “Can I get you anything else? Something to eat maybe?”

Aeri normally was out on the streets at this time of day, but it was chilly out there and a bitter north wind swept the streets, making it uncomfortable for even the air genasi. So she sat by the fire at the Elfsong, plucking the strings on her lap harp and humming lightly to a slow, reflective song.

Today her eyes were silver, a normal color for them to take, and her aura of a breeze was light, barely alive. She could still feel its gently caress, though, like a reassuring friend who would never leave her side.

She noticed there was someone new working at the Elfsong, a red haired elf. Elves weren't often seen working at mostly human taverns, but it didn't concern Aeri overly much. She was an air genasi after all, related distantly to air elementals.

Once her customer had assured her that he didn’t need anything else, she left him alone and retreated back to the bar. When she wasn’t so focused on her few customers she heard the harp. She paused and listened, letting the music relax her. Whoever was playing—she hadn’t seen Aeri yet—was quite good but then that wasn’t surprising. Only the best played here, she had been told.
She let her gaze drift over the occupants of the room and it was then she spotted the woman playing by the fire. She wandered over to her then, barely dodging past one or two others.

“You play quite well ma’am,” she stated though softly. “Would you like anything to eat or drink?”

"Thank you," she said in response to the compliment with a smile. "I don't need anything for now," she assured the serving maid. "I'm just here to enjoy the quiet of the midday hours. Usually, during the night this place is packed."

Even as she talked, her fingers plucked on the harps strings in complex chords, weaving a small tapestry of sounds and emotions. Though Aeri was hardly a master composer, she had learned a lot from the harpists from Cascadia, enough to even write one or two of her own pieces, which she now played.

“You’re quite welcome ma’am,” Aideen replied and smiled. But the smile faded away at the mention of Night, as it always would and her face paled to a sickly tone. A look of panic rose unbidden to her face but she pushed it back after regaining control.

“I’ve heard that it’s crowded here then,” she agreed with a somewhat stiff nod. “I wouldn’t know myself, I only work during the day.” It made sense though, if she came here during the Night she’d attack any human she saw.. And coming into a human city would be like having a feast.

Aeri noted her tense at the mention of nightfall but did not comment upon it. "Yes, very. Its a good time to play too," she grinned. "Thats how I make my living, when not on the road. I enjoy travelling. My favorite place to stay is Cascadia. Have you ever been there?" she inquired, curiously.

(Sorry for the short post... Lack of inspiration...)

“I haven’t, at that,” she replied with a slight shake of her head. A small if somewhat wistful look appeared on her face.

“I’ve heard about it though, of its beauty and of some of the grand things they create there. I’m hoping to visit whenever I have free time.”

ooc: its alright, mine is just as short.
