Hello guys!! I am new to the world of the Wheel of Time!! I am currently reading the first book and I am currently in the chapter where Rand discovers that
Moiraine is an Aes Sedai, which is a little later after the attack of the Trollocs in the Two Rivers
! I really love the story so far and I hope it will get even better!!

I hope that I meet new people here that will make my experience with the WoT even more awesome!

Thank you for reading! :)

Welcome to TarValon! If you have any questions, or just need to chat, feel free to message me!

We've got a holiday going on right now, so some of our avatars might be a bit weird, but don't let it throw you off too much. :)

Hello, Alakeil, and welcome to Tar Valon! :D It is so great that you've found us, and even greater that you're reading for the very first time. The world needs more people reading WoT. :pleased-1: A lot of people here have read it a long time ago, and have since then reread it. There's a charm in reading things for the very first time, embrace it. :D

Hello Alakeil, and Welcome.

*points at what everyone has already said*

the first 3 chapters of Book 1 are the hardest to get through, then fasten your seat belt, It's going to be a bumpy ride!

Welcome Alakeil! I have such fond memories of the first time I read the first book. :pleased-1: In fact, the part where

Rand sees the black cloaked rider on the road to town, and realizes that the man's cloak does not blow in the wind

gave me the chills. I remember reading that like it was yesterday ... when in fact it was over 20 years ago for me now. :laugh:

I hope you'll make yourself at home here. There are forums to discuss the books as you read, free from spoilers for future books. And there are lots of us to get to know when you want to do that. :D As several people have said, you happened to join us during one of our twice yearly festivals, a time when we do all sorts of crazy things with our avatars and in the threads. This event goes from April 10-16, and things will get back to normal after that. Don't let us scare you off during this silly (fun!) time. :D

Welcome to Tar Valon, Alakeil!

I'm Amarande Gaidin, or you can call me Ama Gaidin (either way you have to include the Gaidin - a rule here is that Senior Members have to be addressed with their titles by Junior Members, except in certain forums such as the festival grounds), of the Dai M'Hael Company. I'm from our super awesome Welcoming Committee, and I'm also the Outreach Activities Coordinator, which means I'm responsible for heading up the team that delivers us all the seasonal festivals such as Bel Tine that we're in the midst of (which is why so many of us are showing themed avatars and signatures right now).

I'm glad you've chosen to join us. Please feel free to send me a Visitor Message if you need any help getting around the site, and I hope you enjoy your time here :)
