Hello all, I am Tate and I hail from Texas. I was sorted into Thornmouth and I donāt think another guild could have fit me like a glove more so than that one. I am an intellectual and scientist constantly fascinated in learning whatās new and pondering what already exists. I am a computer science student and like to design and program robots, which in my opinion takes no small amount of mysticism and magics. I hope to find a place here with others fascinated by the world and what lies beyond.
Many thanks and cheers to the magicians in all of us, MagicBean

Hello,
Also here from Insta! Iām currently reading The Monarch Papers and super excited to sink my teeth into all the stuff. I was sorted into Balimora but all the guilds sound super interesting. How do people stick to one!?!
In my day to day life I work in mental health/psychology so a little escapism is super appreciated. Iām also into tabletop RPGs, DIY and music, as well as looking at pictures of cute pets!
Looking forward to chatting with everyone :3

Hey. Recently found the Magiqverse on my off day. Itās been interesting and slightly confusing. I love to read and it will be a welcome distraction in my free time. Currently trying to catch up on the Monarchs narrative. I was sorted into thornmouth and couldnāt agree more. Excited to get in and get started.

Welcome @Mohicanmud!

The Welcome Super Topic: Come Say Hello!
If youāre here, itās most likely because the Guide to Magiq found you and sorted you into your guild, and you got an email telling you to come here. If so, welcome! Youāre probably wondering where to go next, and whatās going on. Itās a lot to take in, we know. Weāre here to help. So sit tight, grab a snack, and read this to the end.
Okay so now youāve done that I can introduce you to your guild leader @Sellalellen !

Greetings! New blood here.
A cup of coffee sat next to the right of me on my reading table, steam wafting upwards to indicate that it was still quite warm. I had only taken to my chair a moment before and had set down the mug to retrieve my phone from the left pocket of my sagging black sweatpants. I hadnāt needed to put down my coffee mug for this action to occur, but it was a reflex at this point.
The same sort of reflex in me opened Instagram and began to scroll through the still-captured lives and stories of people I had never met, or the advertisements of some company looking to push itās latest product. It was then that my finger slid the screen upwards to reveal an image with a white background, bolstered by a crest sitting within a four-sided diamond all in black. This was the first of a series of similar images, which I proceeded to scroll through out of pure interest of their designs. Each seemed to represent some sort of group and features regalia that would seemingly match with ideals likely attributed to such. Below the images, the description stated that these were sigils of guilds and that an exam could be taken to ascertain which one I could belong to. This all seemed interesting and something to do while sipping on my coffee for the next hour or so.
Hours had passed before I had realized that my coffee had gone cold and I had taken the exam five times. This was all connected to something called Ackerly Greenās Guide To Magiq, although the exam itself was (for the most part) nonsensical in spots or needed knowledge that I did not possess. And this didnāt frustrate me, but propelled me further into the depths. Upon taking the exam the fifth time, and getting the result of Thornmouth three times in a row, I was content with stepping forward and proceeded to the next page.
It was here that my interest truly began. This was far larger than an Instagram page and a strange exam, there was something here. I needed to look further. After all, being a Thornmouth meant learning all there is to learn. I downloaded the attached files and began reading The Beginnerās Spellbook immediately. This had entranced me at this point, and my coffee had been long abandoned. The first book was a starter tome on some base knowledge and painted the path towards this forum, in which I now write. It also suggested that I begin reading the second file I had been given titled The Monarch Papers: Flora & Fauna, which has been keeping me preoccupied with its story for a good amount of hours now and still for quite a few more judging by the page count.
My journey in the realm of the Magiqverse has just begun.
As for who I am? I am a seeker of lore and lost knowledge. The arcane has always held a firm grip on my sense of wonder and has led me from religions to the occult, to sciences, and now here. I have taken many notes on what Iāve seen thus far regarding anything relating to The Guide or the Book of Briars, and will continue to do so. My notes will be shared eventually, likely through a mass image drop, although as of now I just seek to learn more.
I will generally lurk far more than post. My nature is to observe silently, and will generally be the shadow in a room hiding within the shadow of a larger being. Although that does not mean I am not here, simply just learning what I can learn. My posts will generally come as needed or if a thought arises that needs more help than I can find myself.
That being said, I look forward to talking with some of you and sharing in the knowledge being presented here. This world is full of mysteries waiting to be unravelled and stories to be told.

Thank you for the welcome, @Rimor!
I definitely read the forum primer and rules before jumping in, as I felt itās a good thing to know. Everything was quite straightforward there and I donāt have any questions regarding that.
Iāll head over to Thornhouse after this and prepare my introduction. Itās actually the guild side of things that I have the most questions about currently, barring those related to The Monarch Papers themselves (which I havenāt gotten down to reading as of yet). I will likely join with the evening hangouts since Iām quite the nocturnal creature by nature.
Which is a good segway into an introduction of myself here! Iām a twenty-eight year old Canadian, and I spend a lot of my time playing video games, reading up on arcane stuff I can find, and generally being a Lovecraft enthusiast. I play D&D sometimes and I noticed that there is an influence of that here too, which I appreciate and will get involved in. I used to write a long time ago, and this may help me get back into that. Artistically though I have been doodling a lot and specialize in greyscale lineart. So perhaps Iāll doodle some folks here if I get the time (or moreso remember) and post it. Iām not sure yet if image dumping is really a thing here.
Aside from that, Iām not sure what else I can say. I canāt really talk about my work, but Iāll share what I can.
Thanks once again for the welcome, and see you in Thornhouse!
