Welcome to TarValon.Net!
There are plenty of people here to help you if you find yourself in need of assistance, would like someone to talk to, or request help to find your way around.
Please feel free to send a Visitor Message to any one of us with your questions or concerns (details on how to do this are below). I promise we don't bite! We want you to find a home here and stick around!
Saying Hello:
Posting an Introductions Thread!
The first thing you can do to say hello is to make a new thread all about you. To do so, go back to the Introductions Forum and press the big grey button at the top that says, "+ Post New Thread". Stumped on what to write about? How about answering these questions?
Send a visitor message!
As a visitor, the only way to send a personal letter to someone is to send a "visitor message". To do this, click on the person's name, which will take you to their profile. There will be a section that says "Visitor Messages". Click that, and it will take you to a page where you can type your message.
These messages are public. You will gain the ability to send private messages when you become a citizen. (More information on this is located in the R&U thread.)
Someone sent me a visitor message. What do I do?
After you post an introductory thread, you can expect a member of the Welcoming Committee to send you a visitor message to say hello. The Welcoming Committee consists of a handful of our members who are nice enough to put time aside to help you get oriented. They volunteered for this and want to meet you, learn about you, and help you so please approach them if you have any questions!
Feel free to contact me, Mayor Zandera Sommers, with any administrative questions or comments. I may be reached by emailing mayor@tarvalon.net.
Other Friendly Faces:
Other members of the website have also volunteered to be kind, patient, and welcoming resources for you. They have expressed that they want new members to talk to them - they want to meet people like you! Perhaps their message boxes are a little light lately and would like a conversation. A visitor message from you would warm their day and who knows, you might find a new best friend. Any of these members are also great candidates for sponsors if you end up applying to join the Tower in the future. Friendships often take a long time to build and grow, so if you know that the Tower is your destination in the future, it's a good idea to start making connections now!
There are many people to meet and also many places to explore. Your next stop should probably be the Read & Respond thread if you haven't yet read it. Or maybe it's time to strike up a conversation!

| I am a 20-something, horse-crazy, Green! I've been a member of the site since 2011 and an Aes Sedai since 2013. Don't let that scare you: I'm very friendly and love to lend a hand or just chat with people. Click here to go to Roheryn Sedai's profile. |
| Mayor's note: Sailea is an Accepted currently guesting in the Ajahs and Companies. This fine lady taught me the ropes, since she was on the Welcoming Committee when I became mayor. If you have any questions, you can surely go to her since she is a pro on the Boards! Click here to go to Sailea's profile. |
| I love trying to get to know new members as well as helping with avatars and sigs and helping them get started on the site. Click here to go to Aryawnah Sedai's profile. |
| Hi, I'm Alora Sedai of the Blue Ajah. I'm in my early 30s and live in a small village in Northern VA with my husband, dog and cat. We are currently working on a vegetable garden as well as an English flower and herb garden. Passions include nature, animals, music, drawing and writing, as well as plotting out fun and interesting things to do here in Tar Valon. I'm also a fan of Minecraft and other video games. As the Mayor has said, I'm a founding and still-active member of the Brand of the Red Hand (a.k.a. Brandsworn) which is a great place to meet new people! As a Novice and Accepted I was very fond of pranks and just may look the other way (read: help you) if you also love pranks. :evil Feel free to send me a Visitor Message anytime!

| I am a Jedi of the Mouse. Mayor's note: Aven Sedai was the mayor before me, and she trained me in everything I need to know! She is definitely friendly, and if you ever want to chat, send her a PM! Click here to go to Avendaella Sedai's profile. |
| I am The Grumpyface. I do not like blurbs. I do not like dating site-esque profiles that sum up entirely too little of an individual's personality while pretending to help you gain a handle on who they are. I consider myself a thoughtful, empathetic individual, and am currently studying to become a psychologist. If there is anything I can help you with, I am happy to do so. Just don't expect my life story in a short paragraph. I'm happy to give it to you in about six pages, though. Click here to go to Ty Gaidin's profile. |

| I am Naeris, early 30's, and I have been with the site since 2005. I am from the Netherlands and I am a very outgoing friendly person. I have friends from all over the world, and my biggest hobby is meeting new people and getting to know them. Here at TV.net I have been company commander of DM and had a few other functions. And now I'm here to help our newest members and make sure they get to know this awesome site the way i got to know it. So don't feel afraid to send me a message. I'll always reply!
