Have you just stumbled in here? Are you wondering what this site is all about? Read on!

Greetings and welcome to Mystical Realms and the Plane of Zatrikion. Mystical Realms is a storytelling community of role-players from all over the world, playing by chat and forums. While we are not truly freeform, our combat rules are simplistic enough to not detract from the stories but still allow for chance to play a part. Although our chat has dice, the emphasis at Mystical Realms is the story, not the roll of the die; it is about role-playing, not roll playing.

We like the term Interactive Storytelling, because together we are all playing a part within a story. We don't have a world of chaos like some free form sites have. Rather, our members create unique characters to interact with each other on the fantasy plane of Zatrikion.

Before applying, it is required that you read the pages listed under Gaming Information and Registration Questions below. The information linked in the What's What is optional though highly recommended. These are to help you through our registration process and to help you make the transition into our world.
