Mizahar is a fantasy roleplay forum in which a dedicated, friendly, and free community of roleplayers and artists gather to spin epic-level tales via collaborative storytelling. Players write their character's adventures as posts in a forum ("play by post").
We call ourselves "the Writer's RPG" as we value character development and deep, intelligent plots. What sets us apart from other roleplay sites is, among other things, our fantasy world. Mizahar is fully original and does not borrow from mainstream Tolkien fantasy. There are no Elves and Dwarves in our stories, but there are over 20 unique races to choose from. Everything from magic to fauna and flora is unique to our setting.
Mizahar is a world rising from the ashes of destruction, rarely safe and never predictable. There is no single storyline, but a number of concurrent and often interwoven plots. Character creation is simple, and you can join with minimal effort. We have a wonderful community that will help you get started in no time.

Welcome To Mizahar's Winter Wonderland!

Hello Mizaharians!
I would like to take the season change to post a little site update and share some plans (both long-term and short term) with you. Hopefully, other moderators will add to this news article with plans of their own, so that we all get a broad based idea of where Mizahar is going in the next three months.
On a personal note:
As some of you might know, Winter is my downtime in real life because the weather here in the Pacific Northwest gets nasty driving everyone indoors. Constant rain leads to ice which in turn transforms into snowfalls towards Christmas. That means my posting will be top notch in the months to come with very little (except chores) taking up my free time. Recently, as almost everyone knows, I had carpel tunnel surgery to fix a major problem in my right wrist - the total loss of sensation. I'm still, in fact, on a forced vacation to get some well deserved R&R which means I'm slowly and incredibly patiently typing this news article with my... [ Read more ]

Hello Mizaharians!
I just wanted to make a little announcement about the recent round of Medal Awards. We have two more 'Lore Author' awards today, as Amirah and Kadarus have tag-teamed some development and written the 'Massage' skill writeup. Good job guys. It looks fantastic.
And secondly, we'd like to announce a new award created and given to Kamalia Timandre for her tireless efforts in promoting Mizahar since just about the first day its been open. The new medal is called "Advocate". If you see these folks, please offer them a heartfelt thanks for all their help with Mizahar.

New Subrace of Humans: The Vantha - People of The Aurora

Hello Folks!
As promised, in the next few weeks a few more sub races are going in. The first, which was promised long ago, is the northerners called the Vantha. In essence these are very spiritual hearty people who make the most of the few resources they do have. Here's a little teaser from their article.

[ Read more ]The Vantha, or the People of the Aurora Borealis as they call themselves, are humans that dwell in the far northern reaches of Taldera within their lovely ice city of Avanthal. Hearty, well-adapted to snow and extreme cold, these people have a rich history that stretches out well prior to the Valterrian and is rife with storytelling and carving at its foundation. Famed for their intricate carvings and masks, and the storytelling that goes with them, the Vantha have a tremendous oral history that not only explains the beginning of the world, but how the world will end as well. Also famed for their changing eye color, the Vantha claim...
Introducing the new Skill Guide!
Posted by Gossamer on October 5th, 2009, 6:54 pm0 Replies
Greetings Mizaharians!
The Skill Guide has now been posted in the wiki.
Okay the title is a little of this news is a little bit deceptive because like any of the wiki works we publish, nothing is ever complete. Rather, these works seem to grow and change as the game progresses. However, I am happy to announce that the Skill Guide has finally been written and posted into the wiki. Feel free to do what you wiki folks always do - create talk pages, fiddle with grammatical errors you might find, request clarification, or shower praise.
This guide should clear up some common questions, expand some simple ideas, and explain a bit about how skills work on Mizahar. This should also reinforce why it is important to track your skills on your character sheet.
Regards,
Gossamer
