Please respect all members of board staff at all times. Also please remember to respect other players!

Long centuries ago the Gods dwelt on Earth. They commanded their mighty magics and called their chosen people to their sides, creating mighty empires that spread out across the surface of the Earth, each ruling in their own era. For awhile each of the Mighty Gods was content with their Earthly Empire, but one by one they slowly lost interest. Earth, even with it's varied peoples, simply couldn't hold their attention.

As their interest waned, one by one the Old Gods abandoned Earth and their Empires faded and crumbled leaving behind only Myth, Legend, and the ruins and artifacts that have so enriched our histories. But the Old Gods did not simply vanish into obscurity.

Each and every one of the Gods sung about in Earth's Mythologies was driven to seek out a new world, one that held the excitement they had been unable to maintain on Earth. They were successful in their search, each setting their sights on a planet that held an abundance not only of varied peoples, but of magical power as well. Each God was thrilled to find the exact object of their wildest dreams! Imagine their horror and disappointment when they realized each and every one of their fellows who had once inhabited the Earth had made the same discovery, and each and every one had the same wish; to command the full power of all the world's people and magic.

Terrible was the war they wrought upon each other, each faction set against all the others with no less than absolute victory their only goal. Alliances were made and broken. But in the end no one faction could win out above all the others. In their immortal power, the Gods found themselves equals, unable to slay the armies of their enemies, unable to claim the greatest treasure that ever they had beheld.

And so the Old Gods of Earth turned their eyes on this new planet, dividing amongst themselves the people, drawing as many as they could to their worship and rebuilding their empires of old. A new war was about to begin, fought not by the Gods themselves but by the worshipers they ensnared.

Welcome to Lands of Myth and Magic, a world of danger and excitement in which the myths of old come to life once again. Kingdoms ruled by different Gods stand on the verge of war, alliances, betrayals and secret plots run rampant. Heathens that refuse to answer to any one God roam the lands stirring up trouble. No one can be certain what the next day will bring. There is adventure to be found for any who go in search of it!

The Rules:

1) Respect! Please respect other players, please respect the Staff/GMs! Everyone is welcome in Lands of Myth and Magic. If you have an outside problem with someone I ask that you please leave it at the door when you enter. The goal here is for everyone to have FUN!

2) No Godmoding! Lands of Myth and Magic defines Godmoding as any In Character (IC) action that puts another player at an unfair disadvantage and/or seizes control of a character that does not belong to the player making the action. Only a character�s creator can declare their character dead! There will be no forced PC deaths in Lands of Myth and Magic!

3) Plagiarism will not be tolerated. All characters must be originals.

4) Please post a character bio for all characters you wish to make PCs. For more information please read the rules for character creation. Please submit your character in the folder for the section to which you wish them to belong (EG: Norse characters are submitted in the Norse section). Character bios for PCs require approval for continuous play; however, you can begin playing a character while awaiting approval (GMs will try to be prompt). Play testing of a character before writing a bio is welcome. Once a character is approved for the section to which they belong, they are not limited to play in that section only. Characters may travel between the sections. Character approval for the home section stands for all sections of play.

5) Lands of Myth and Magic has a PG 13 rating. Swearing, within moderation, is fine. Due to the PG 13 rating and the terms of service for Invision boards, scenes of sexually explicit nature are not allowed to be posted on the boards. Please use good judgment when it comes to blood and gore; if you aren't sure, post a warning as a subtitle to the thread title.

6) No Spamming and no Flooding. Only regulars have standing permission to share links.

Discipline:
I'm a big fan of the Three Strikes System when it comes to rule breaking. You will receive ONE warning only. Please be aware that the GMs of each individual section reserve the right to make decisions that will affect their section. If my name is not listed as the GM of a section, I will NOT over-rule the section GM, so don't bother asking.

Please remember to have FUN! ^_^

THEKMARA
Egyptia's capital city and the center of activity for the nation. At the very center of the vast and artful city, lies the Pharaoh's palace. Around it lies the ring of the Temple District, where each God and Goddess has a temple dedicated to their worship and priests to tend to their needs. Beyond that lies Thekmara's famed Open Market in the Merchant's district. Thekmara's streets are always bustling with activity, even during the high heat at midday.

The Pharaoh's Palace
Located at the very heart of Thekmara, the Pharaoh's Palace is large and sprawling. It houses the royal family, the court advisers, and honored guests visiting from other lands. The Pharaoh's gardens are among the most beautiful in Egyptia, a testament to the life that can be wrested from the desert if one is strong, vigilant and patient. The Pharaoh's Palace is heavily guarded against outside intrusion.

The Temple of Amun-Ra
Located just outside the Pharaoh's Palace, the Temple of the King of the Gods, Amun-Ra is built from a yellow-gold type stone that seems to glow when the rays of the sun hit it. In this most sacred of temples the God Amun-Ra is tended by his priests and worshiped by his followers. Scholars and scribes are also trained deep within the hallowed temple's golden walls.

The Temple of Isis
Set just across from the great temple of Amun-Ra, the temple of the Mother Goddess Isis is equally large, though not quite as impressive from the outside, seeming almost modest by comparison. Inside it is no less impressive, however, and revered Isis is tended by her priestesses. Because of Isis's vast knowledge of the magical arts, her temple also serves as the best Magical Academy in all of Egyptia.

Tekmara�s Open Market
Tekmara's open market is the most famous in all of Egyptia. It stretches from the docks all the way to the temple district. The best goods from the best merchants in the land can be found in Tekmara's open market, and the long street bustles with activity from dawn until well past dusk every day but festival days. One should always be weary, however, as it is said that the merchants of Tekmara's open market are skilled enough to talk people into buying anything!

ABYDOS
A somber and serious city, Abydos is the holy city of the dead where Osiris himself is said to be buried. The city is made up mostly of large, artfully constructed temples kept spotlessly clean. The center of the city, however, is dominated by a vast white pyramid, the largest ever built, the largest and most revered temple of Osiris in Egyptia.

SAMUUT
A small city in the south, Samuut appears more like several villages that were plastered together than any kind of city. There are no set districts, markets and temples can be found all over the city. Samuut has two claims to fame; first it lies very close to some of the most beautiful monuments built by the Egyptian people, and secondly it is home to the famed Scroll and Wineskin Tavern and Inn.

The Scroll and Wineskin Tavern and Inn
Located on one of the ragged edges of town, this quaint little establishment is often bursting at it�s seams with patrons. The tavern serves a wide selection of alcohol at all hours of the day and well into the night. It is rare when they have free rooms, since it is one of the most famed inns in all Egyptia, but they always try to accommodate as many travelers as possible.

AMENTET
The hidden place. The Underworld. The Afterlife. Amentet is the land ruled over by Osiris, the promised Afterlife. Only those who have made the proper preparations and been judged worthy by the Goddess Maat may enter the Afterlife.

Amenti
The city of the dead, Amenti is the city in which Osiris lives and rules. Amenti is a silver and gold city rising out of the desert, more spectacular than any city ever imagined in the mortal world. The center of the city contains buildings larger and more beautiful than any ever conceived of in the mortal world, not built for humans, but for Gods. At the center of it all is the golden palace of Osiris where he dwells with his wife Isis, ruling over the vast lands of the dead.
