Hello all! I am Elyss Koh'inor and I'm so excited to start my journey through Tar Valon. For my introduction post, I'm going to answer a few of the suggested questions.

I found out about TarValon.Net at my first JordanCon this past April. Since then, I've been waiting for my schoolwork to calm down a bit before joining. I joined with my mother, Ashara Koh'inor. We are both excited to be a part of a larger Wheel of Time community.

My favorite character...might as well ask a mother to pick a favorite child. My top favorites are probably Perrin and Egwene. Don't ask me to choose between them. I can't.
My mother is a lot like Nynaeve, my father can be like Gareth Bryne, and my younger brother is enough like Mat to worry me.

I am a homeschooled highschool student, writer, and crafter. I love anything where you create things. I am learning French and can speak a (very) little Italian.

My favorite books and author outside of Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time is another "favorite child" question. Hogwarts will always be there to welcome me home. I love the original Sherlock Holmes stories, and I could probably recite Anne of Green Gables. Recently I've started Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archives, and it's looking like those books will be another set of life-long favorites.

My mom introduced me to the Wheel of Time, and I read the series back-to-back over this past year. I finished the series five minutes away from Atlanta before my first JordanCon. I count myself very lucky I didn't have to wait between books for the next one to come out. I discovered JordanCon when it was mentioned on a costuming website, and asked for a trip to Atlanta for my birthday present. Present well spent.

Thank you for taking time to read my introduction, and I hope to become part of the larger Tar Valon Community soon!

I'd wondered if you'd read Stormlight based on the last name! I am in love with that series!!!

Welcome! Glad to have you onboard :D

Thank you Anika Sedai. The last name was actually chosen by my mom. She hasn't read any of the Stromlight books (yet;)). It is based on the Persian name Kohinoor which means "Mountain of light", which we both found appropriate.

It's very important to know the Membership Manual, so good job!

Also, I really like the meaning of your last name. "Mountain of light" is really pretty.

Thank you Madam Mayor! Just to clarify, my mother has read all of the Wheel of Time books and introduced me to the series. I was referring to the Stormligt archives by Brandon Sanderson in my previous post. Sorry for the confusion! I'm still getting used to how this forum works.
