| - Eytas are a people of demigods like the Aegyr. They were set up by the gods of the pantheon to be arbiters between the male and female principles of male and female, Gorgan and Vanga, Man and Yr, but they were seduced by the Dark Six, the deities of darkness on Myra. Many of the Eytas fell for the dark side and became what we nowadays call demons, the demons of the ShadowZone. The remaining Eytas were fighting all the more for the side of light and life. They were the guardians of the first chapter of the BON, the "book of nightmares". They are DreamKeepers now. One of the famous Eytas of history is Zhan, who raised RaonAcum with the Seven.
- Eytas - Not just demigods. A special race of divine origin, allowed as the very notable exception which looks human or elvish on the outside for the Myra Adventures campaigns. As the demons are fallen Eytas, any reappearing Eytas will fight their dark brothers, the fallen Eytas or nowadays Demons, as their main purpose in life. Thus, the Dreamknight is the preferred character class, as no other character class on Myra is as perfectly attuned to fighting demonkind. Eyta genes can be dormant in any humanoid descendant line until they reappear.

- Eytas - Not just demigods. A special race of divine origin, allowed as the very notable exception which looks human or elvish on the outside for the Myra Adventures campaigns. As the demons are fallen Eytas, any reappearing Eytas will fight their dark brothers, the fallen Eytas or nowadays Demons, as their main purpose in life. Thus, the Dreamknight is the preferred character class, as no other character class on Myra is as perfectly attuned to fighting demonkind. Eyta genes can be dormant in any humanoid descendant line until they reappear. The RPG Eytas have a great and terrible burden. They are children both of mortals and of the angelic/divine Eytas of old, who were supposed to serve the deities of light at the dawn of time. Thus, they carry the strengths and weaknesses of both the temporal and the divine. They are infused with the ambition, energy, and hubris of all races. They possess the power and wisdom of the Eyta hosts and some deities but also the fury and righteousness. Eytas are creatures straddling two worlds. They may have a foot in both, but they are not truly home in either. Often feared and even reviled in mortal realms for their otherworldliness and power, they are the least of the heavenly cohort, too often ignored or abandoned by the very gods, demigods, and eytas who initiated their lines. It is in the nature of the eytas, as with any mortal, to reach for the divine. Indeed, the eytas can be seen as an amplification of all the qualities great and severe in humankind. Their reach is prodigious, but the depths to which they can fall are all the greater. Eytas do not always have a celestial parent. Often, the divine bloodline will lay dormant for generations before an Eytas is miraculously born to seemingly “normal” parents. Those with a divine parent as well as a mortal one are the mightiest of heroes, demigods who can ascend to the thrones of the gods themselves. Great disturbances in the firmament, such as comets, falling stars, aurorae, eclipses, or a combination of these, frequently accompany or portend these mythic births, which often take the life of the mortal parent. Eytas tend to live longer lives than most mortals, owing to their immortal heritage. This trend is far from predictable, though. Some Eytas live decades or centuries beyond their human or elf parents, and some fall well short of venerable before dying of natural causes. A host of hearth tales posit varying theories for their inconsistent life expectancy. Some say a long-lived Eytas is obedient and kind and the gods keep her alive as example to others. Some insist a short-lived Eytas is a demon in disguise or might have been born to soak up disease so that others are spared their suffering. Of course, the clarion call to duty claims as many Eytas lives as any.
