Hello and Welcome @Amruneth! I’m the Gossmere Welcomer! I am actually a polyguild of Gossmere and Thornmouth, so I definitely know the feeling!
Well temporarily @Ashburn is the Thornmouth stand-in but she is also one of the Ebenguard guild leaders! So if you have any questions feel free to shoot her, us @Wagoneers, a message or put a post in the Q&A topic!
As to meet your Thornmouth guild mates you can go here and to meet your Ebenguard guild makes you can go here! Although you will have to wait a bit, I’d take this amount of time to read through the first post in this topic as well as the forum primer!
As for your interests we have the gaming topic, you’ll typically find me over there so now you know at least one virtual face! We also have a food and drink topic where I’m sure you can strike up a conversation about coffee! We also have a guild tattoos topic where people show their Guild Pride in the form of tattoos! We do have a Pets topic! To conclude with the painting we have an entire category called #the-creationary which as several topics about works of art as well as writings from the community!
Once again welcome and if you need anything feel free to shoot me a message!
