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.

I have traveled many places and seen many things. Here are some eplorations I have made. Here are the animals I have come across.

Unicorn- Creatures of the world's deepest forests and jungles, the unicorns are among the most noble and beautiful. They are guardians of the wood and glen, high spirited and even aggressive in their mating battles. Their white fur and silver hooves and horns mark unicorns as highly spiritual beings linked to the light of the Moon. As such, they are both Earthy and Watery in their energy. Notoriously shy of humans and wary of predators, it is said they can only be tamed by virgins. This is not to say they are easy to tame, however, and their horns can be deadly when the unicorn is aroused to defend itself. Herbivores, the unicorns come in a range of sizes, those of Europe being comparable to ponies in size, while those of the India are similar in size and appearance to Arabian horses. Unlike horses, however, unicorns have cloven hooves. The Greek Ctesius described them as a kind of Indian wild ass with a single horn and tremendous speed and aggresive behavior. Megasthenes similarly describes the Indian unicorns as unsociable and wild except during the rutting season. The spiral horns were prized by hunters in order to make drinking vessels for Hindus of the highest caste, vessels which could neutralize poisons (Rudiger Robert Beer, Unicorn: Myth and Reality, p. 18).

Unicorn hair, a traditional core component of many old wizard wands, has a silvery white light like moonlight. It shimmers with the spirit of masculinity tempered by worship of the Moon Goddess in her full, motherly aspect. Enchanted into a wand, unicorn hair lends it steadfastness and gentleness, along with the soft insight into things magical, emotional, and feminine. There is a quality of indescructability and incorruptible purity in unicorn hair which is ideal for wands intended for use solely for the good. The unicorn's spirit has, like the famous horn, healing properties.
