Donations
As Althanas grows, the cost of running the site has increased. As such, we are continuing to accept donations for the upkeep and improvement of the site. You can find the donations link in the "Community" tab above. Here is a direct link to the donation page and a direct link to the Donor List. As a thank you from the staff, those that donate more than $10 will be added as Core Members to the site. As you know, Core Members have access to a special forum to speak directly with the staff and can have their own features and canon added to Althanas. Moderators that donate more than $10 will be given an @althanas.com email address. Donate anything, even $1, and we'll give you a custom user title (if you don't already have one. Donations use Paypal. If you want to avoid transactions fees, you can also transfer money to Althanas directly using the email address donations@althanas.com.

If you're looking for new threads to participate in, check the Role-Player's Corner or look around for those labeled "open". If you're looking for some reading material, look no further than this month's crop of returning greats:
