The Welcome Super Topic

Hello everyone!

I’m Alchemilla Heron. Alchemilla being from the botanical name of Lady’s Mantle, which I suppose is what happens when your mother is a botanist. I however am an acupuncturist, herbalist, and concoctor of many goods, mundane and otherwise. sly grin I certainly have loved books on history, mythology and folklore, natural sciences, languages that are current and ancient (especially those with different writing systems from my own), textiles, archaic fashion reconstruction, herbalism, alchemy, and magic.

I have been placed in Thornmouth and I get a shiver of excitement thinking of all the possibilities! It will be nice to have others to network with who also have such an affinity for books and information hoarding (hehe). Looking forward to chatting with everyone here and becoming a part of this community. I think, especially now with how things are in the world, finding connection with others is so important. Thanks!

Hello! There’s so much stuff… I have no clue what to do with it all, but I’m super excited that there’s a new world to explore! I’ve never been a part of an interactive story before, although I’ve always loved reading fantasy novels. I’m in the Thornmouth guild, and am looking forward to getting to know everyone. :relaxed:

It is all quite daunting isn’t it :joy: but honestly you’ve picked a great time to join! Best place to start is with all the Beginners resources that’ll cover all the rules and other good to know stuff then go nuts :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Head on over to the Thornmouth quarters to checkout and chat to @Sellalellen and all your other Thornie buddies (Sel is the first word of Thornmouth and an amazing leader!)

Howdy all,

I came across this from an ad on FB for The Briar Society. I’d never heard of any of the books or universe before, but this looks intriguing.

I’ve been a long-time fan of ARGs, RPGs, and epistolary games, and the idea of an on-going book series that I can play a role in is just something that I dig, you know?

I apparently fall quite strongly into the Balimora guild and the Anivaeus bearing. I’ll be honest, I have no idea what that actually means. I’ll be starting the books today, but as someone that reads three or four books concurrently, I expect it might be a few minutes before I get caught up. :slight_smile:

I look forward to knowing you all better.

Hello, I am still reading Flora & Fauna, but I recently learned that I am an Ebengard Marentide, so I am in the process of figuring out where I fit in the world.

Hey, I’m currently reading about Flora and Fauna. Sorry I am so awkward I always am during introductions. I have always been fascinated by the mind, magic, the stars and someone can actually be capable of. I was sorted into Thornmouth and relate deeply to the description given. I am excited to go on this adventure with you all!! :slight_smile:

I will be honestly, I’m a little overwhelmed here.
I found the invite and joined up immediately, fascinated by the description.

But there is a lot here. I will work my way through slowly, I guess.

I honestly think we all are when we first join. You’ve got this, and there are wonderful people here to help guide you. Read the books, read the historical forums, and interact with us. Everyone is helpful and friendly and wants others to join in however they are comfortable.

This is not a race.
