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 want him dead! Do what ever it takes. I will pay the best price, just as long as you accomplish your task. The king will pay for what he has done to me.” The large man yelled at his hired assassin. His scrunched up face was scarred from long past battles in fights for his life and devastating war. He was not a good man and the king knew this to be true. His majesty had taken everything away from this beast of a man and sent for his execution.

The man stood from his seat in the small, dark room. He never took his eyes off the assassin in front of him, for all he knew; he could have been one of the king’s men come for his arrest. The candle wavered in the light breeze coming in from the open window. The room they were in reeked of rat droppings and decaying wood. It was quiet outside for this time of night. There was no activity in the alley ways nearby.

Tobias stay quiet and still, squatting down beside the window listening for the plans of the corrupt war master. Tobias knew little of the man. He hoped to find out what the runaway warrior was planning on doing and when. This way, Tobias could warn the king hope for a wealthy award for his service. It was only for his grandmother. Tobias did not like for his grandma to work, he wanted only rest for her.

The men moved about the room in a rush. Steel was drawn and shouts of battle were born into the quiet and still air. The piercing clangs of metal to Tobias that the assassin was one of the king’s men come to arrest the treasonous blade master. Down the street, five men were running for the old room, it was a trap for the beast of a man.

As the men charged into the room, Tobias stood to watch the defeat of the war master. The big looked Tobias in the eye as the men surrounded him. He smiled a deadly smile that made the hairs on the back Tobias’ neck stand on end. His blood stained broadsword was still in hand. The surrounded him in circle of steel and demanded his surrender. And then in an instant, two men were down and the hand of chaos gripped the room as the battle raged on. It seemed an eternity. Be fore he knew it, Tobias was staring at the downed men, not yet realizing they were dead. He heard a low rumble of a laugh. It was the beast. They both shared a quick glance and then Tobias was gone like the wind. His heart raced and his lungs burned with need for air.

After turning a few corners and finding safety under wooden stairs, Tobias caught his breathe and slowed racing mind. He knew he was in deep trouble. What he had just witnessed would be the death of him. He would have to tell his grandmother about this and they would have to leave. So much for the wealthy reward. Tobias was not sure of the name of the man he saw, but he knew he was resourceful. He would have to flee from grip of terror. There would be no rest. There would be no end. Tobias would have to seek refuge in the land of Imythess.
