Ethereal Realms - Gateway to the Imagination

Ethereal Realms at one time was a community-based site centered around an open-source technology. With time, it became impossible to maintain the community, however the technology remained and is still used as a base for other communities today.

Over time, other open-source applications elements have been added and are now showcased on this site. Feel free to explore the elements that follow, keeping in mind that with the exception of Lyra most of these have not seen code updates in years.

Ethereal Realms Chat

Ethereal Realms is a concept chat and role playing system that has acquired additional components such as social networking, galleries and message boards. The code borrows themes from Plenty of Fish, Elfwood Gallery and the now defunct WBS.
