Thank you for your service, Serinia. I know the decision couldn’t have been an easy one. For what it’s worth, I greatly appreciated that you weren’t a “party Amyrlin” but brought your own blend of professionalism and gravitas to the role. Thank you again for all of your hard work.

I picked Ismene because after browsing through a list of Tower members, I wanted a name that started with a letter that very few other people used, and "I" had the least number of people at the time. Ismene is Antigone's sister - I like that character because she's a bit of goody-goody who...

Again, I think your feelings speak well of you, Eniara, but I must respectfully disagree. Although I haven't been in contact with his family for some time, at one point I was close with all of them. Riley's wife did not work, or only worked minimally for low-wage, part-time jobs. I do know that...

Obviously, this whole debacle stirs up a lot of feelings for me. Riley was my Warder. Although he was bonded to multiple Aes Sedai over the years, he was, for me, my one and only Warder. We had (I thought) a very close relationship. I shared a lot of my deepest personal struggles and worries...

Hi Leala! Welcome aboard! I'm slogging away at Nanowrimo. Will I finish??? I don't know (I hope so) but this year is the closest I've come yet.

Hi, I'm sorry - let me add just one more thing. I noticed that as I was composing this reply, this thread has filled up with some spammy/silly comments. Please. Have some respect. The Tower has so many places for silliness and spam. It's what we're built on in many ways. I know we all handle...

I just want to say, like all of you, I am stunned, shocked and saddened by this news. I'm really just struggling to process this information right now. Of course, Riley had bonds with other Aes Sedai before me, and others after, but ultimately, he was MY Warder. I feel, in some way, partly...

Congratulations, Viv, I know you'll be great in this role.

I loved the magic system in Mistborn. All the main characters were like Magneto from the X-Men. :lol

Hear, hear! Congratulations, and thanks everyone. :bow

Wow, congratulations to you both. :clap As a former Historian, don't feel shy... if you ever have any questions or whatnot, shoot them my way. ;)
