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.

Dream Of Me is my site. Fwee. Here's the ad that we use to advertise it:

Dream Of Me

It is stated as follows in the records of JRR Tolkien on the Second Age:
These were the dark years for Men of Middle-Earth, but the years of the glory of Nśmenor. Of events in Middle-Earth the records are few and brief, and their dates are often uncertain.

In the beginning of this age many of the High Elves still remained. Most of these dwelt in Lindon west of the Ered Luin; but before the building of Barad-dūr many of the Sindar passed eastward, and some established realms in the forests far away, where their people were mostly Silvan Elves. Thranduil, king in the north of Greenwood the Great, was one of these. In Lindon north of the Lune dwelt Gil-Galad, last heir of the kings of the Noldor in exile. He was acknowledged as High King of the Elves of the West. In Lindon south of the Lune dwelt for a time Celeborn, kinsman of Thingol; his wife was Galadriel, greatest of the Elven women. She was sister of Finrod Felagund, Friend-of-Men, once king of Nargothrond, who gave his life to save Beren son of Barahir.

Later some of the Noldor went to Eregion, upon the west of the Misty Mountains, and near to the West-gate of Moria. This they did because they learned that mithril had been discovered in Moria. The Noldor were great craftsmen an less unfriendly to the Dwarves than the Sindar; but the friendship that grew up between the people of Durin and the Elven-smiths of Eregion was the closest that there has ever been between the two races. Celebrimbor was lord of Eregion and the greatest of their craftsmen; he was descended from Fėanor.


The song of the Rings is as followed:
Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mor-dor where the shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all, one Ring to find them
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mor-dor where the shadows lie.


This specific Role-Play will be directed upon the year 2250, in which Tolkien describes the year 2251:
Tar-Atanamir takes the sceptre. Rebellion and division of the Nśmenoreans begins. About this time the Nazgūl or Ringwraiths, slaves of the Nine Rings, first appear.

It is said that the Nazgūl, however, made their first appearance in the year 2250, in which this Role-Play is taking place.

Due to this fact, we are allowing nine people to apply as the nine Kings, though only two are openly named as: Khamūl (King of the Haradrim) and the Witch-King of Angmar (King of Angmar). The other seven of the Nazgūl are allowed to be named as the players wish. Though we are not totally supportive of this, we do not want someone playing the Nazgūl as follows:
This King lifted up his arm to look at the Ring given to him.
This is because there are, in fact, only two names given and she shall allow players to create their own names for the Nazgūl.

There is no "specific" plot engraved to go upon the site, but everything is based on Nśmenor and its division upon the land. It is also based upon Sauron's growing power towards the East and the followers he gains and deceives.

The Role-Play Is:
For Strictly Advanced Members Only
For those who have read all the books (The Silmarillion through Lord of the Rings preferrably)
For those sick of the other Lord of the Rings Role-Plays that stray from Tolkien's path

Major Characters Needed:

3 Elven Ring-Bearers:
Cirdan the shipwright originally had Narya the red ring of fire but he later passed it on to Gandalf. Gil-Galad the elven king originally had the most powerful of the elven rings - Vilya the ring of air. A gold ring with a blue stone. Elrond later had Vilya. Galadriel had Nenya the mithril ring of water. A mithril ring with a white stone like a frosty star.
7 Dwarven Kings (Ring-Bearers)

These are subject to change and most likely will as the progress of the site is continued.

Seems Nice, though not quite what I'm used to with Invison free and php. I'd join but my hands are still tied up and the knots aren't loosening too much. Course if You find a....strange dragon entering the population, chances are in favor of it being moi.

It has to be Tolkien-Appropriate, remember. So your dragon cannot transform into a humanoid form and they have a love for gold and kill just about everyone they come across. ^_^
