Hello there and welcome to TarValon.Net!
Updated: October 1st, 2023

Firstly, I’m Arella, and I’m the membership administrator for all new members. So reach out to me if you have any questions. You can reach me here or on Discord (Arella#1913) :pleased-1:

TarValon.Net is an online community that has existed since 2001. While we do have members who’ve been here almost since the beginning, we love meeting new members too! I joined in 2019 myself, so I haven’t been here that long either.

We have membership levels referred to as ranks, so while you already get access to a lot of forums and threads when you register, there are a lot more to explore as you go! Oh, and keep in mind that some of forums are opt-in only - read more about that in the other sticky in this forum. I’m gonna try to keep this thread short, so head on over to our Library to read the Membership Manual (MM) if you want to learn more about how to become an Aes Sedai, Gaidin, or Resident Citizen here on TarValon.Net :D

Now, before signing up, here are some tips:

  1. You have to be at least 18 years old to become a full member of the site
  2. Pick a first and last name that feels like it wouldn’t stand out too much in Randland, but one that is not directly from the books. Your name has to be unique, but don’t stress too much about that, I will check everything for you when you apply to move up the ranks.
  3. You will need a square avatar. It needs to be unique (again, I will help with checking that), it needs to be humanoid, with only one person in it, and it can’t infringe on any copyrights. That last one sounds tricky, but don’t worry, I have some tips for different ways to pick an avatar;
    1. Find an image you like and ask the artist for permission to use it as an avatar. DeviantArt is great for this
    2. Find an Open Access image that is free to use for everyone, a lot of our members do this (including me :look:) Both the Met and the Smithsonian have a huge gallery to choose from!
    3. Make an avatar using an avatar maker like Picrew :pleased-1:
    4. Create your own avatar or use an image of yourself. Just be aware that it has to be of you (I will just need your confirmation on this), and know that it will get uploaded to our Library if your progress through the ranks past Citizen :pleased-1:




You’ve registered an account, now what?

Now you’re a Visitor, and we’d love to meet you :pleased-1: Go back to the Introduction forum and make a thread introducing yourself!
Not sure what to say? Here are some suggestions:
  • Who is your favorite character in The Wheel of Time and why? Please use spoiler tags if you give away any info, this is a spoiler free forum :pleased-1:
    • How to use spoiler tags:
      Code:
      [SPOILER]Your GIF/message[/SPOILER]
      Or you can click on the second three dot menu above your text box and choose the icon with the crossed over eye. This will also give you the option to give your spoiler tag a title.
      Spoiler 1

      How to use inline spoiler:
      Code:
      [ISPOILER]Your message[/ISPOILER]
      Or you can click on the first three dot menu above your text box and choose the icon that looks like a mask
      Your message
  • How did you find TarValon.Net?
  • What do you do? (student? job? hobbies?)
  • Where are you from? What languages do you speak?
  • Have you seen Wheel of Time on Prime? Did you enjoy the show? (Again, remember spoiler tags)
  • What is your favorite book or author other than Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time?
  • Or just post a thread and say “hi” and we will say “hi” back :pleased-1:
  • A tip for you: At the bottom left corner you'll see "+Quote". Press this to line that posts in your "quote queue". You can do this with multiple posts. When making a new post simply press "insert quotes" at the bottom left corner of your text box. Add the posts you're quoting in the same post to avoid double-posting :D




As a Visitor you have access to a good portion of forums and are more than welcome to post and make threads in all forums. Just please remember to be polite, follow our Code of Conduct, and read the stickies before posting in a forum (most have them but not all). You need to rack up 25 posts before you can apply to become a full member, which is Citizen of Tar Valon (this is why my title is Mayor, lol). Racking up a small post count gives you an opportunity to get your feet wet a bit and learn more about our community. When you are ready for the next step, please read this thread on how to apply to become a Citizen :pleased-1:

One more thing; we have a Discord. Click this link to join us there! New to discord and have questions? Ask me and I’ll help you out :pleased-1:

That’s all for now. Again, please reach out with any questions. Send me a PM here, on discord (Arella#1913), or send an e-mail to mayor.tarvalon@gmail.com.

-Arella
