Introduction
You love the world of the Wheel of Time. You dream of being an Aes Sedai or a Warder, but you do not wish to simply assign yourself one of these titles - you want to be deserving of it. To earn it and wear it with dignity and honor, as a member of a true brotherhood or sisterhood.
Perhaps, then, you understand what it is to be truly dedicated - not to a series of books, but to a community. We are not an RPG. We are not fantasy but family, a growing and evolving online society of real people, and gaining membership and respect within Tar Valon is neither a simple task nor a meaningless effort.
We are Tar Valon, the City and the Tower, and we exist to meet and provide such a challenge, and in so doing recognize those around us as true friends and family. We host live functions, attend real gatherings, and this site is where we communicate, entertain, cooperate, and play.

Our Mission Statement
About our site
TarValon.Net was created with the express purpose of giving a handful of real-life friends and fans of the Wheel of Time series a place to meet and interact with each other regardless of their physical location. It originally started with just the Blue and Green Ajah Headquarters. In time, we realized that there would need to be a central location for our community. Thus the Tower was born. We felt that it was in our best interests to keep the spirit of the White Tower in line with the fictional Tower in the series. As our membership increased, we began to understand just how well this form of government could work, and soon elected our officials and developed the following Mission Statement and Constitution. TarValon.Net is an unofficial Wheel of Time Fan Club, run for and by its members. We are not an RPG site, although we do use fictional names while dealing with Tower Business. There may also be some light role playing, but it is secondary to our function as a fan-based real-life organization (if you are looking for an RPG site, we highly recommend the role playing at Dragonmount.com). Please bear in mind that we do blur the lines between characters and reality. People will take your actions seriously and may not differentiate between your actions and those of your fictional name.
Mission Statement
TarValon.Net exists to provide its members with the opportunity to adopt the ideals and philosophies of the White Tower as described in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, while supporting a real life community through gatherings, online communication and fraternity. We strive to maintain a website that appeals and educates visitors about the Wheel of Time in an original and innovative fashion. TarValon.Net not only seeks to create real life friendships and bonds between fans all over the world, but also to be seen as the trusted source for news, research, art, and theories while maintaining a high level of quality in all works produced, and achieving a high entertainment value for the public in general. For more on our code, laws, and regulations, please refer to the Tower Bylaws.
