Who will you be?

A cunning warrior? A wily thief? A powerful sorcerer? An agent of the Gods? In Mythras you define your character. Its skill-based system allows for infinite combinations of talents and capabilities.

Who are your people?

Are you a nomad of the steppes, following the herd-trails? Perhaps you are a hardened barbarian used to the raids fo your neighbors and the whims of the Gods. Maybe you are a city-dweller, used to the comforts and amenities of civilization. In Mythras, where you come from is as important as who you are.

What are your beliefs?

Do you worship the mighty Gods of Sun, Storm, and War? Are you, perhaps, a follower of the Great Ancestor Spirits? Or is it that you shun the Gods and follow a more mystical path, seeking enlightenment and perfection? Maybe you prefer the dark and dire potency of sorcery! In Mythras, your beliefs shape your magic and your destiny, and through them access to the cosmic powers of the gods themselves.
