    • The Gatehouse:

      • What you'll find here: The Newcomer's Tutorial, which offers a rundown of the site for prospective members, the site map, the site rules, and the Domhantir Rubric, which is used to judge works for point scores.
      • What you can post here: Questions about the forum. Guests can post here as well.

      • Tutorials:

    • Auditions:

      • What you'll find here: All Solo and RP Audition threads (except those that have been continued in the World section).
      • What you can post here: Your audition materials, whether responses to an RP Audition or vignettes for a Solo Audition. (An administrator will create a thread for you.)




  • The World of Domhantir: This section contains the forum's original Role-Play environment; all Role-play threads featuring characters from the Applications board are located here.



    • The Almanac:

      • What you'll find here: All the information about the people, places, and things that make up the realm of Domhantir. Here you can find timelines, maps, and descriptions of the various nations of the world as well as the unique races, animals, and plants that inhabit them.
      • What you can post here: Nothing. :) If you'd like to submit an article to the Almanac, post it on the Almanac Submissions board for approval.


    • Talambar:

      • What you'll find here: Talamabar is a human nation with a culture focused on strength, combat, and honor. It practices slavery, and its most popular entertainment medium is gladiatorial combat, especially in its great coliseum, the Talmas.
      • What you can post here: Any RP storylines that take place primarily in Talambar.


    • Aetherae:

      • What you'll find here: Aetherae is the nation of the elves and harbors one of the oldest and proudest maritime cultures in Domhantir. Its forests are the most beautiful in the world and shelter some of Domhantir's more magical inhabitants.
      • What you can post here: Any RP storylines that take place primarily in Aetherae. One of the nation's subboards, The Cat and the Cradle Inn, is a special area where members can participate in role-plays even before their auditions are complete.


    • Srada:

      • What you'll find here: Srada is a wild nation of deserts and savannas populated mostly by humans, but also by a number of other robust races. It is a region where civilization is often mistaken for wasteland--a land of secrets buried in sand.

    • Other Regions:

      • Atherom:

      • Feayra:

        • What you'll find here: Feayra lies in the northernmost wastes of Domhantir. Few southerners have successfully navigated the icy seas and seen this land of seaside cliffs, snowy forests, high peaks, and the secretive race of shapeshifters, the Feayr, that calls the tundra home.
        • What you can post here: Any RP storylines that take place primarily in Feayra.
