Cuz that's always been a dream of mine. ^^

Well, Ashiakin is The Regions Administrator, however who becomes a region writer is a bit of adecision we all make back stage and then Ashiakin approves it, you know, just to make himself feel like he's doing something.
However, you don't have to be a mod in order to help a region out. There a little suggestion areas in each region if you have a cool idea or race or anything you think would be interesting to include in the region. You could of course just talk to the region writer as well.

As Alerar writer let me say, if you come up with an idea, and I either like it or see that others will like playing in it, and it fits in the general theme of Alerar (dark elves, technology, etc.) and doesn't step on any other region's toes (for instance, I'm not adding a tundra or a high elven run school of magic) then I will be happy to add a subforum.

Well i've had alot of ideas for both unique regions aswell as unique races.
As far as regions goes, I'd like to see a swampy boggy island of sorts, or perhaps it is just a section of a currently existing region. And to go along with that an amphibious race would be very cool.
And ofcourse theirs always the idea of a floating island in the sky with a bird-themed race =P But those are just ideas.
As far as actually coming up with a detailed description of said places/races and/or contributing to already existing regions...ill get right on it! -zoom-

The first idea could easily be written into Dheathain. I think the second was submitted for an old Region Writer contest.
EDIT: Yeah, I just checked. It's Avarith. You can find it in the Archives, and it's oddly similar in a few ways to Dheathain...

I think that's because Avarith was originally Witchblade's submission.
Honestly, the way canon has been created on Althanas most clearly in the past is when people take the time to write quest after quest in a region. If you involve a LOT of people in the quests, maybe 2 or 3 per quest, pretty soon you've created enough coverage in the player base that everyone more or less knows the idea and treats it as canon. Most canon on Althanas was designed by mods, but only after the mods established their right to create canon by such a long and involved process.
So that's my suggestion...got an idea? Put it in a quest!

Avarith was originally my idea and even though Dheathain rocks, Avarith kicked ass and would have ruled if it had won the region writer's contest. Sadly not enough people were fond of a flying island in the sky. ^^;
As for the whole swampy, boggy kind of thing. the entire section of area in Dheathain known as Fiorair is a swamp, but it's inhabited by the Draconians, not a strange amphibious race. Also, Istraloth is kind of wet... isn't it? I thought it had someamphibious races, but I couldn be wrong.

I like the idea of a floating island in the sky. I don't know how it would be explained, but I would definitely play there.
