Ahh, now where to begin the tale...

Greetings one and all.

Some have called me Lokadien in the past, and although my appearance may have changed, I assure you...I am mostly the same person as then. I've wonderful memories of conversation and gatherings long past; however, external forces drew me away for a significant amount time. Recently some friendships that I thought were built on stable foundations have scattered to the winds, and I seek a return to the community I remember so fondly from those many years ago.

While it has been a while since I finished the last tome in this wonderful series, I still greatly admire Loial. Slow to anger but always willing to pursue his passions, he always remained humble and loyal. Also when push came to shove, he was willing to jump into the fray. Additional characters I enjoyed were Thom and Moiraine, although I can not remember specific details of why at this time.

I stumbled onto the site long ago after I had been searching for an online game set in the world of Randland. Since nothing like that really existed, one search lead to another, and I eventually wound up here.

Currently I work as an internal auditor for a regional healthcare system, where I spend most of my time focused on IT audits and HITRUST compliance. It is...um...riveting to say the least. Outside of work, I spend my time attempting to draw; spending time with my family; and playing board games, the drums, and a frankly unholy amount of Destiny 2(for now).

Outside of the Wheel of Time, my favorite book would probably have to be Temple of the Winds by Terry Goodkind. It's my favorite book in that series, and what I feel to be the last book before it got a little too Ayn Randian for my tastes. My favorite author is K.W. Jeter for expanding the world that Blade Runner was set in. Additionally I really like Ready Player One.

Thanks for the opportunity to join this amazing community.

Welcome back, Lokadien! It's great to meet you, though I don't think I remember you. When did you first join TV.net?
I am Nia, the Mistress of Novices and Recruits. So of course I hope to see you in the Tower soonish ;)
But for now I hope you'll find the community as fun and welcoming as you remember it. And if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message :)

Thanks for the welcomes...I believe the first time I joined TV was roughly 2005-ish, so it's been a while. Also no time like the present, so glad to be back.

Hi Lokadien! Welcome back to TarValon. :D Your name is ringing a bell, though I can't quite place you. (I was Adriana of the Red Ajah once upon a time, and had a different face.)

Oh, and hopefully you remember the tradition of Shaoman. We're having a freeweek, so pardon the avatars. :look:
