Althanas Battles
Located on the island of Corone, and in the city of Radasanth, The Citadel is the largest battle arena on Althanas. Characters can fight in any environment imaginable, and are restored to health at the end of each battle. Citadel battles are the quickest way to earn EXP on Althanas and are judged faster then other threads. Open challenges are encouraged!

Featured Quest
A massive, multi-part quest. Want to know more? Check out the "Rules and Questions" sub-forum.
Ancient evil stirs in Raiaera, and demons and deities become one on the icy plains of Salvar. Not long ago, strange machinations resulted in the death of Alerar's Queen, and none know whose hand did the deed. And Corone's Civil War intensifies even as a new threat emerges. Stay tuned for the opening of the second Featured Quest!

Fallien (1 Viewing)
A very mysterious land, Fallien is a desert country with a matriarchal government and strangely xenophobic citizens. Throughout the region are different trades which can be found no where else in Althanas. Currently, Fallien is in a state of upheaval due to the recent uprising of the Cult of Mitra and the Harpies.
