Let me begin with how much I am amazed by the splendour and grandness of Tar Valon. Despite reading and hearing numerous stories about its greatness, my imagination hasn't been able to come anywhere close to it real gloriousness.
My name is Vedan Al'Daedran. I was born on a small farm just a day's ride north of Cairhien. My da was a farmer. Quite a successful one so he managed to save enough money from selling wool to apprentice me to a bookbinder. It was obvious for everyone that I would never make even a half decent farmer. Never liked to take care of animals so I never was good at it, or maybe the other way around.
I was always good at making things with my hands. And luckily for me my father was smart enough not to press me into continuing a long line of farmers.
So that's how my apprenticeship began more than 10 winters ago. After becoming a master myself I worked in the The Royal Library of Cairhien as an archivist. And even though The Royal Library of Cairhien is considered by many as one of the great wonders of the world, nothing can compare with the Great Library of the White Tower. So here I am in Tar Valon looking forward to working in the greatest library in the Westland.

In real life I am a teacher and live in China currently. I was born in Russia. I speak Russian and English.
My favourite character is Perrin - he is a true friend you can rely on, no matter what and great husband.
My hobbies are reading fantasy books and bookbinding. I'm also interested in health and fitness. Spartan race anyone?
I started reading WOT about three years ago and I couldnt stop until I finished all the books. The best thing I read after that is Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy.
Very pleased to meet everyone.

As I said I finished reading WOT a couple years ago, well before the show was even announced. I was looking for material for a book I'm making so I found this amazing place by a search engine.

Welcome Vedan!

Perrin is a favourite of mine too. Solid, dependable and fuzzy. What more could anyone want!

Hello and welcome! Always great to have another fitness-y person in town (Although I personally am probably past my “doing races” phase now that I’ve entered my “slow meathead” phase—I’m a powerlifter, and it’s mostly sitting haha)

:welcome I'm glad you discovered our community! My bachelor's degree was a double major in history and political science with a concentration in Soviet history. I also often work with exchange students from former Soviet block countries, and also from China and Taiwan (plus lots of other places). I've never had a Russian student though!
