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.

Sword of Murder
One Winner

This very rare weapon was crafted hundreds of years ago in Tethyr desert by an assassins guild. Only five were made and given to the leaders of the guild. The crescent-shaped weapon has a large, teardrop sapphire embedded in the pommel.

Powers: Whenever the Sword of Murder wounds someone, somewhat seriously, the sapphire on the pommel glows and the wielder begins to absorb the wounded persons life force, slowly killing them. It takes fifteen minutes to completely kill someone in this way.




First Place Winners

Horn of the Shadow Hound
Two Winners

This instrument, which resembles a clarinet rather than a horn, is made of a very dark, almost black wood. Along the horn's length is wrapped a strange purple-black leather which is actually the vocal cords of a shadow mastiff, a large black dog, which are known for their malicious nature. This cord is the key to the horn's powers.
When played, the horn gives off a low and deep sound, very rich when played.


Powers: You do not need to be a bard to activate these powers, just able to blow into the horn and make noise. Depending on how many times you blow it, different powers take effect.
One Blow: The spell Globe of Darkness is used as though the player casted it
Two Blows: The user of the horn can blend within shadows, making them harder to see. Does not work in sunlight.
Three Blows: Summons a shadow mastiff which obeys the horn's player
Four Blows: When the horn is blown 4 times, the horn's greatest power comes into being. The blowing activates Fearful Baying which is the horrible sound of a pack of shadow mastiffs baying before the kill. This power instills fear unto the hearts of any good or neutral creatures in the vicinity of the baying. It does not effect evil beings.

Dagger of Torment
Three Winnners

A weapon used to cause a painful death, this notched, jagged dagger is enchanted to never need sharpening. The hilt is wrapped in very dark red leather with black leather cord woven over it.

Powers: Whenever this dagger wounds someone badly, it gives the wounded person a horrible image, usually of a tormented loved one.
