Mythras

m
mouldy

A mythological world of bronze-age mythology. Warring citystates, monsters and interfering gods.


Author's Note: This is a mix of mythology, real world bronze age history and my own random fantasy ideas. Not fully complete but I'll try to keep adding locations. As for characters it's just best to ask Franz once you're in a location to create NPCs. Added background map- very rough, as its part fantasy so names don't match up. Simply move the two areas: '..' and 'map' if you prefer not map. Now adding egyptian region, and classes and spells. Making the egyptian area more fantastical. Also adding levantine areas. Not chronologically historical by any means. A fun setting for franz is to tell him to keep the typing and sentence structure in the style of Homer's Illiad.
