An open invitation to the citizens of Althanas:
Good people of the nations of Althanas,
I reach out to you today to ask for your support in facing the greatest crisis we have seen since the rise of Lord Aesphestos and the necromancer Xem'Zund. Not even then; when the Dark One was stirring, the Forgotten Ones were wreaking havoc across Alerar and Raiaera, and the great city of Eluriand nearly fell to the undead could we find the strife that plagues us all now. This is a new kind of evil we face, as all corners of our world are ripe with tyranny and conflict.
The mighty nation of Corone, once the beacon of progression for all of Althanas, is being ripped apart by civil war. It is clear that no peace can be agreed upon by the government of the Corone Empire and Rangers of the Corone Republic. If they cannot make peace themselves, I propose we make peace for them.
In Salvar, the tyrant Iorlan Rathaxea brings conflict and fear to his own people and neighbors. He keeps slave camps throughout their northern wastelands to supply his war machine under the guise of the Peregrine Group . All the while he plots with the despot Edari’axa and his lapdog Schynius in Alerar to conquer their neighbors. It is past time for someone to stand up for the Salvarian people.
In Raiaera the pressure is already being felt from Alerar and Salvar. From the Niadath Pass and Valinatal to Anebrilith the ancient elves of Raiaera are forced to prepare for the defense of their homeland once more. To the people of Raiaera I say this: The past is the past. Know that you are not alone.
Fallien faces a similar threat from the Alerar/Salvar allegiance. Though far away and mysterious to many, there is no doubt that the war machine will fall upon this nation as it will all other nations. With the lasting presence of the Cult of Mitra it is hard to imagine them fighting off the monster that comes their way. Not without our help that is.
To the far east the enigmatic people of Dheathain are quickly being exploited by those who would wish to strip the land of their ancient wealth and resources. Now, more then ever, it is important that we befriend our new neighbors to the east, not manipulate them into their own demise.
All the while the other forces of Althanas, I speak to those groups such as The Audeamus, The Grander’s Order, and The House of Sora, among others, do nothing to prevent that which is right before their eyes. Heed my warning: You will not be free from our justice.
Finally, I speak to you, my people of Alerar. It has been far too long since I have been home. For that, I apologize. Had I realized sooner that my banishment was not the true doing of our late Queen Valsharess things would be far different for you. Know that Edari’axa and Schynius have held their terrible grip upon our home for longer than we could have realized. With the aid of Salvar they have manipulated their way into power and caused the deaths of many innocent people, Queen Valsharess among them. It was no accident that the Salvarians were in Ettermire on the night of the assassination. It is no accident that the “assassin” has not been caught. Now you face a reign of oppression and fear. Mark my words: It will not last. We will have back what is ours.
I do not wish to bring more war to the lands of Althanas. I do not wish to seize power for my own devices. I wish only to help those who deserve power to attain it. To assist those who will bring peace gain the means to do so. So I bid to you all; rally to my banner. Our journey will be arduous, but well worth the sacrifice. Together we will face the darkness before us. Together we will bring peace to our homes and abroad. Together we will not be stopped.

Alright people, here’s the scoop…
I’m going to be trying out some different things with this PG. Things that I hope will boost the activity and interaction between the PG’s and also boost the activity and interest of the many continents, as well as their histories, that we have to RP on here at Althanas. That brings me to the meat of what this PG is all about.
First of all, there are NO requisites to joining this PG. The only restriction on membership is if you are already in another PG and THEY would prefer your non-membership in Valandil Telemnar. This is only fair considering that there is a high likelihood of hostile action between this PG and others. I do also reserve the right to restrict, deny, or remove membership, at my discretion, in the event that something that drastic actually needs to be done. I doubt that though, so on to what makes this PG so cool…
For any thread completed by a member/s of Valandil Telemnar towards a goal of the PG or a continent I will personally increase the GP payout by a percentage of the quest reward out of my own pocket. I haven’t set on a number yet, but it will be a healthy chunk of change. I said in registration that this group might look like a band of mercenaries, this is why.
Further, any PG raid or Clan War carried out by members of Valandil Telemnar will be paid for by me personally. What that means is that if a group of you want to go raid The Grander Order's treasury, I foot the bill. If you win, you split the winnings amongst yourselves. If you lose, no harm done to you. Any earnings of my own for personal participation in these events will be placed in the PG Treasury for future disbursement to members or for payment of Raids/Wars.
Also, when/if Valandil Telemnar gains a HQ, 50% of the GP reward will be split amongst the members monthly, with the other 50% being deposited in the Treasury for future payouts. The percentage paid directly to members may increase as the number of members grows so that you all aren’t getting like 30GP a month or whatever. This obviously comes with the other benefits a HQ will provide us, like the 5% EXP bonus and the Hero Badge.
Finally, no donations will ever be required of the members. If you want to donate, that’s great, but it is not necessary. I have a decent amount of GP to get this thing off the ground and intend to earn plenty more to keep us going.
Keep in mind that this PG will also comprise of a NPC army. As of now the army consists of my current Gisela army, but will grow with the completion of an expansive series of quests. As an IC member of Valandil Telemnar you are automatically an officer in the army. It is highly likely that during a quest or battle the opportunity will arise for you to lead the NPC troops in battle, though it is not required. There will be no official ranking system for the officers, but that may change as membership grows.
If any of you feel that you need to develop an IC reason for joining aside from the one’s provided shoot me a PM or IM and we can work something out. The same holds true after you join and would like to do something to acquaint yourself with my character. Just hit me up and we’ll get a thread rolling.
I very much intend on this being a highly successful PG. My hope is to provide an avenue for character interaction, both amongst yourselves and the other features of Althanas, as well as paving the way for character advancement. Your IC stories should flourish just as much as your gold pouches do.
To register, simply post your character name, the continent you represent (this will become more important later on. If you don’t hail from, or wish to fight for, any particular continent on Althanas, that’s fine, you won’t be left out of anything in the future), and a link to your most recent character profile (so I have a quick reference point to your character history and abilities).
