Hello, my name is Rietveld, and I joined this forum too early.
I was technically introduced to this wonderful work last year. I saw a post Instagram that immediately piqued my interest (you try to sort me into a house or guild and I’m yours) and I saved it with the intention to get to it. That never happened, life has a way of getting in the way of things. In August of 2020 I was going through my old saved posts and found the assessment yet again and did it right then and there, I was declared Weatherwatch, joined the forum, and purchased Flora & Fauna and Cosmos & Time with every intention of jumping in. Once again, life had other plans. Until now, I’ve recently finished Flora & Fauna and I’ve started Cosmos & Time, I’m hoping to get caught up soon and get more involved.
Basically, this is my long and complicated way of saying that it’s nice to meet all of you and I hope to get to know you all as well. I’m a native New Yorker though I’ve long since moved. I’m fluent in Spanish and I’m interested in learning new languages both real (ASL, Esperanto) and fictional (Dothraki). I’m a big video game nerd with a gripping TTRPG obsession and I used to be a big reader but that died down as I’ve gotten older but I’m taking steps to correct that.

Welcome from a fellow Sun Guilder! (I’m Flinterforge, but we live on the same half of the compass as Weatherwatch.) We’re in a bit of a story break right now, so it’s a great time to hop in and start getting to know people in the topics. And you’re definitely not the only one whose book consumption has dropped off severely with age; I can feel the judgemental glare of my to-read list from here. And don’t be afraid to post in an old topic if you see something you like! It can remind some of us who’ve been here longer to revisit something cool.
Welcome to the forums and the crew, @Rietveld! I’m Remus, one of Weatherwatch’s Captains along with @Skylad. We’re thrilled to have you on the forums and we can’t see more of you. Feel free to reach out to any of us leaders with questions that you might have!
WEATHERWATCH… WEATHERWATCH WEATHERWATCH… WEATHERWATCH!!!
YAY A NEW RECRUIT!!! Awesome to have you on board! Remus is the real powerhouse here! I’m just an overexcitable mascot who also gets put in charge of steering the ship from time to time (I may be responsible for one or several UFO sightings) but I am always willing and able to help new recruit! If I don’t know the answer I can find you a Thornmouth who does
@BrokenVoid@Viviane@Remus@Skylad Thank you all for the warm welcome! I swear I thought it hadn’t been two days since I introduced myself but some friends recently convinced me to pick up Monster Prom and the Sims has recently sucked me back in so been in a bit of a hole lol.
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!
Welcome @Alchemilla_Heron! Our amazing Waggoner @BrokenVoid will probably be along soon to give you a proper welcome (he’s a superstar!!! He reads all your introductions and finds good threads for you to look into to feel at home! If I wasn’t such a technophobe I’d probably give it a whack myself )
I’m Sky one of the Weatherwatch captains your more than welcome to reach out to myself or any of the amazing leaders but @Sellalellen is the Thornmouth First Word she can show you the ropes (show you the ladders??? The ledgers??? Idk what the Thornmouth version of show you around would be…) around your guild

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.
G’day Wednesday, I’m Skylad one of the captains for Weatherwatch and it’s a pleasure to have you onboard!!
It is all quite daunting isn’t it 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
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!)
I’m looking forward to seeing you around the forums, don’t hesitate to reach out to any of the leaders if you need a hand!

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.

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.
