Hello,

I am a big fan of the work of Robert Jordan but never reached out to fandom mostly from time constraints and graduate school. I found out about this lovely site after watching the great wheel of time panel from Jordan Con.

I am a nurse by trade but usually extremely introverted when not at work. So looking to break from that cycle. Thank you for the opportunity and I am excited to get to know people.

So I am somewhat a serial student. My first degree is in computer science (bs) then my latest is in nursing specifically to be a nurse practitioner. I have been an icu nurse for the last decade.
I am looking forward to exploring. Thank you

Oh, that's amazing!

Also, just as a heads up, things are about to get a bit crazy here for the next week :laugh: Starting tomorrow, we'll be celebrating Bel Tine, so a bunch of people's avatars will temporarily change and a new forum named the Faire Grounds will open up with a bunch of games to play and stuff. It's a great way to jump in and meet people :)

That sounds exciting. I have to find an appropriate avatar.

That is a hard one. I try not to play favourites. Nyneave is on the top of my list because she is such an talented person who never quite realizes how incredible she is. She does phenomenal things then goes off to do the next always feeling like she could do more. Her loyalty to the four from Edmond's Field is heartwarming and such a leap to abandon her job and what she thought was her calling as a Wisdom. She is remarkable.

As far as couple pairings, Androl and Pevara (sp?) is a great couple. I enjoyed their interactions.

On the opposite side, Moghedien is someone I can sympathize with too. Always staying outside of the public eye and just trying to survive. Except when she feels she has an upper hand then gets alittle too overconfident and over extends.

Welcome to the site @Valen Mashab :) I'm glad the panel helped you find us.

I have a special relationship with Moghedien and I'm glad to hear you enjoy her. :) Happy exploring!


Thanks. I am very happy to find you guys.
Yes, the spider’s story is fairly tragic. I doubt her life was ever easy and most underestimated her or probably treated her like a common criminal. And her anxiety is really something I understand. Robert Jordan did a really good job of portraying mental illness and not as an over exaggerated portrait of the disease.

Welcome to TarValon.net, Valen!

I hope you stick around and enjoy the Free Week :pleased-1:

I agree on Nynaeve, she is my favorite. And I always enjoy the Moghedien chapters.

Let us know if you have any questions!
