The Ruins of Taras

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.

The Ruins of Taras

One of the largest nations of Imythess, Taras is the kingdom that takes up most of the Western coast of Imythess. What was once a great city now lays in ruins as a recent attack, made by demons, burned the city down to the ground. The only building left standing is the Library, which had been saved from the fires of destruction. Most of those who lived fled, either to a Refugee camp placed a little ways from the city, or to other cities where they were wanted.

Those who now occupy the city are thieves and scavengers, looking to pick through debris and bodies to find something of use. This is no longer Imythess' sparkling capital, no longer a place for those who would seek a name for themselves in the tournaments. These are the Ruins of Taras.

2 years have passed since the city fell to ruin. It has taken until now for the reclamation effort to take hold, and there is sufficient footing for basing a rebuilding effort. The city needs your help to restore it to its former glory, will you rise to the challenge or try to claim it for your own?
