Althanas News Hello Again! First off I want to apologize for missing last week’s article. Work and the Serenti got the better of me for a bit. The Serenti is still going full swing, with second round matchups set to end on Tuesday. Round three will begin Friday night at 11:00 EST. Make sure to check the brackets as soon as your scores are posted and remember that there will be wildcard advances. If you finish your match you will be eligible for one of those spots. Overall I am very impressed with the quality of the completed battles as well as with the creativity so far. I look forward to reading the later rounds, and wish everyone involved the best of luck. Keep in mind that we do still have Serenti gambling going on, so be sure to check out the gambling thread here. Thanks again to everyone who is participating and providing feedback. Vignettes are still open for September, and will end this Friday. There is still time to get yours in before they are judged. This is an easy way to get a bit of experience and possible some extra GP, so take advantage of it. I have noticed that the chat seems to be busy quite often now, and am excited that players are using it to get to know one another. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should. Thanks again for another great week Althanas! As Always, Amber Eyes.

Thread of The Week This is where we will put the spotlight on ongoing threads of note in Althanas, giving them a bit of attention. This weeks featured thread comes from Vigil and Jonah T. Barnham. It's their current Serenti battle.Vigil vs. Jonah T Barnham Here's an excerpt, and be sure to keep up with it as best you can... "Now, in the darkness of his fifth day in the foothills of Uroda, Liam began to grow impatient. A man he knew to be Jonah was late and the Irishman found himself beginning to lose his nerve with each passing hour. He had enough supplies for two more days before he had to return, but he was only staying another night as far as he was concerned. Unlike the infamous Breaker who never showed back in Radasanth, Liam would not wait another two weeks in the cold for a man he knew would not show. Still, there was time left, and Liam distracted himself by looking from his fire and into the night sky. Above him upon a canvas of dark purples and dazzling blues melted into velvet black was a sea of stars that dappled the dark sky. It was a sight that struck Liam profoundly, and it was something he knew could not be witnessed in the likes of a city like Radasanth. Looking to where the moon should be, the old man found it waxing and at least drew some comfort in that fact." Article of The Week This is where we feature one of the articles we've made for the Althanas Wiki so far. This week's featured article focuses on Akashima "Akashima is a small country nestled in the northeastern area of the Corone island. Once a small village of barbarians when the Raiaeran explorers first found them, the Demon War left them torn from their ancient roots. However, from the ashes of the fallen a new nation emerged to reclaim the land of their ancestors, the new generations of warriors and artisan reviving their forefathers' way of life. This small nation is unique in a sense that it is an island within an island - ruling independently of the Coronian Government while still remaining in good terms with them since reconnecting with the outside world...

Member Spotlight As more and more members make their wiki pages, we'll begin to feature some of them, helping members get to know one another. We invite everyone to make their own pages talking about their characters, their musings, and their ideas. As soon as we have someone with sufficient content, we'll spotlight them here. Judge's Choice Spotlight The Judge's Choice forum is a great source of inspiration. Members should know what others before them have achieved. This week's Judge's Choice Spotlight comes from Letho and Storm Veritas, and is titled To expidite, explore, and extract Here's an excerpt... "Myrhia slept with a blissful placidity of a child, her tiny figure crumpled up in a little ball made out of rough canvas sheets and her slender body dressed in a white semi-transparent silky nightgown. The accommodations were poor to say the least, compiled out of the battered old mattress that smelled like an old potato sack and a hanging petroleum lamp that perpetually swung with the motion of the boat. On top of that, the entire room carried the scent of moist decay, the bittersweet smell of something decomposing agonizingly slow. But still, she slept so soundly that she didn’t even notice that Letho left her side and went on the main deck. It was the sun that drained her, the sun and the dry salty heat that reigned on the main deck during the day, drawing out every last ounce of energy from her. And after such a day, falling asleep in the arms of her beloved was like a well-earned reward after a gruesomely long race."
