Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fieari" data-source="post: 1405443" data-attributes="member: 16221">Ah!  Myths!There is said to be a land named "Nyre" somewhere.  Specifically, Nyre is said to be located to the west.  "Keep going west" they say, "And when you've reached the west pole, go a little bit further west, and there Nyre will be, spread out before you like a map."  This is mostly a tale told to children, much like we might talk about Never Never Land... or more closely, much like we'd talk about Santa's Workshop.  Nyre is said to be the land where all the fairytales come from, where fairy tales are considered HISTORY, and not just odd tales told to kids.And of course, when kids grow up to a certain age, adults will tell them how silly the concept of Nyre is.  There IS no west pole... there can't be!  If you keep going west forever there'll always be more west to go, because the world is like a ball.But in the stories, Nyre is full of all kinds of creatures... like Phoenixes (legends of these birds could fill entire libraries) and Nymphs and Fauns and great and terrible creatures the size of mountains... like the sphynx.  And huge turtles you could build (and people have built) cities on top of.  Nyre is a land where our treasures are living things... gold and silver and gems all come from trees, and the form we know those things to be is when the living treasures are dead and hard.Generally, most of our fantastical creatures are known of as living in Nyre.  Unicorns and pegasi and such.  Most people don't believe in them, at least around these parts.  They exist, but people still don't believe.As for a figurine, a Myme might be an interesting choise.  Mymes are creatures made up of coils of paper-like material... all wrapped around a hollow core, and appearing vaguely humanoid except much taller and thinner.  Mymes are said to be silent watchers and posess great wisdom... except they can't talk, have no language, and really, there isn't much you can do to get any information from them.  Quite quaint, really.Anyway... just waiting on Mary's post before getting you together and introducing you to your first adventure...</blockquote>
