Published: September 28 2020 Tar Valon Times Blog
September of 2020 at TarValon.net seemed like a month of transition – transition from vacation to school, transition from quieter to livelier. The month started slowly, but it became more and more active as it went on.
During this month there were several things of note happening:
- A winner for the International Red Cross Fundraiser was chosen and sent a prize! For the blog post about the fundraiser check here.
- We opened our Costume/Cosplay Forum, where people can share their knowledge about recreating stage costumes or designing their own versions of Wheel of Time costumes, as they’ve imagined them. Check out the newly opened forum here.
- The Costume Team is running a sew along, since a lot of people have shown interest in the American Duchess Cape pattern. If you are interested in joining, check this thread here.
- The Department of Marketing is also challenging all members to draw something every day during Inktober! Read about our very own set of Wheel of Time drawing prompts on our blog post here.
Several people were appointed to new positions at TarValon.Net during September. We would like to congratulate:
- Costume Team Members – Melearlin Valar, Roheryn ni Galghandhrei t'al'Djinn, Laralelle Susandrea & Elia LePhant,
- Aleita Taviah the new Editor of the Tar Valon Times,
- New Tar Valon Times Writers and Artists – Adina al'Mari, Aintza Bisera, Atane Valthon and Leala ni al'Dareis t'al'Caleum!
The Hall of the Tower was busy contemplating several raisings. Many congratulations to:
- The newest Accepted – Cinna Vrammar,
- Kenith Sna'aps, who was summoned to start training as the newest Novice,
- Owena al'Saturni Aes Sedai, the newest Sister of the Green Ajah.
We saw a new bond, created under the Light, connecting two people, who have sworn to fight the Shadow together!
Congratulations to Faeril Munlear of the Green Ajah and Xander Silverstar of San d’ma Shadar Company on their bond.
