+
'''Do you fit the Val'Cueran stereotype? Are you fiercely loyal and travel in a pack? Do you enjoy the taste of warm milk?'''
 +
Can loyalty be ferocious? My friends are better at answering the loyalty question. I would probably travel in a pack but sometimes it's better to travel alone or with my partner. :D As for warm milk that's kinda yuck! I hate the skin that forms on the top. :P 
  
==Real Life Function Attendance==
+
'''What male character from the novels do you think would fit best in Val'Cueran?'''

Lucas al'Baine
+
Spare library time at college if I remember (first time). Finding the books again it was my local supermarket selling the first book cheap.

+
'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

+
'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?'''
 +
I found the tower by looking for more, I felt the urge to know more about this story that had me gripped. I became a senior member basically because I wanted to reach the top. I could have achieved great things in the tower.
  
;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
+
