From beginning to end...

[The End]

Heylo all! I'm new here of course, ready and eager to push my thoughts into these damn keys and hope something worthwhile comes out of it. I wasn't really recommended here, I just sort of stumbled upon it in my travels and I must say that the whole system is fascinating! I'm not entirely sure how it all works yet but I stand (or sit actually) at the ready, waiting for a chance to get some good ole' fashioned word puttin' done. I've roleplayed with others before, though nothing of this calibre. Anyway, it will be my pleasure to meet all (Well most, if I want to be realistic) of you in the future!

Hey there and welcome! If you have any questions or need any clarification on how things work, feel free to ask! Either PM me, or any of the people with italicized names (on the bottom of the main page) or just post even and we'll get to it. =) Looking forward to seeing your stuff!

Welcome to Althanas, Fizz.

It's always good to see new blood. If you've any questions about how to get started, or if you need a quest/battle partner, I'm sure there's plenty of people willing to get involved!

Stay a while and have a blast, that's the most important thing to say :).

Friction control? I love friction control! Welcome aboard, billy.

[Revenant]

Welcome! Look forward to reading your work.

Seems interesting, welcoem aboard, can I welcoem you in the IK?

[The End]

Thank you all for the welcome! I would get up to shake your hands but once I've settled into my tempurpedic, I'm already gone. I am a little wary of just jumping off the diving board and beginning to write because it seems like a significant backstory is needed first, and I'm just wondering about certain guidelines. For example, once I select a continent am I granted freedom in making up a location within, or are there stringent rules I have to follow? If I were to start in Salvar, would I have to research all of the cities and towns and whatnot to really get into the story? I'm sure this sounds just plain stupid but I figured I'd rather be safe then sorry!

Sei - I'm not 100% sure on this, but from what I've read IK means the Ixian Knights?

[Silence Sei]

Thats right. The Ixian Knights are the primere group here on Althanas.

And also, no, to roleplay you don't have to look at intricate locations, it might help, but absolutely not nessicary.

[The End]

Premier certainly sounds good to me. What does one do to become an Ixian Knight?

[Silence Sei]

Simply read the first couple of posts in This Thread (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?21720-The-Nine) and it should give you all the details you need to apply, and then we can get you started on a recruitment quest.

Sup, young blood.

I sound like such a veteran... when I'm not. Yeah buddy.
