    We recently archived the original Welcome Topic because it was getting a little tough to manage. This is the fresh, brand spanking new welcome topic where you can introduce yourself to the community!

      Hi everyone!

      I am DarkNova! I am a little horrible at introductions, but I love space, cats, and everything magic. I am in the Balimora guild which, when I read the description, suited me very well. I am currently reading The Monarch Papers and trying to figure out how all of this works. It’s my first time ever posting into any sort of form, so go easy on me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

      Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

        @Helios and @Nimueh are your guild leaders!!

        Make sure you read everything in the first post and the Forum Primer! One you’ve done that and increased in trust level then you can start getting to know everyone over in General Discussion! Another thread you’ll probably love is the pets thread!

      Hello :slight_smile: I just stumbled upon the Maqiverse through a post on Instagram last night and was deftly sorted into Thornmouth. I’m going to work on reading Flora and Fauna when I’m in transit later today.

      I love the fact that I can input into the creation of the world, it reminds me a bit of playing tabletop RPGs when I was younger and then EVE when I got older.

      I’m in digital forensics by day, but at night and on weekends, I craft and read anything that I can get my paws on. :slight_smile:

      I need to sort out all the things before I start contributing for sure!

      Thanks for this!

      Hi! I’m Artemis. I don’t know about the other guilds, but I got sorted into Weatherwatch, and I had to use two pixies and visit the Iremonger to get there, so it was hard won.

      OC I’m an actor and tabletop roleplayer. Nice to meet you all! :blush:

          It reminded me a little of The Night Circus and the Shades of Magic series – and I love the idea of an interactive story. I’ve got a lot of reading to do first though, I think!

      Hey y’all!

      I’m Elle. I’m new to the whole forum thing, but I stumbled across the guide and fell in love with the concept of an interactive narrative. I was sorted into Thornmouth, which I believe suits me fairly well.

      Some facts about me: I enjoy traveling and baking. I’m a voracious reader (I’ve already finished Flora & Fauna). I love lists. I am a dog person. I am a linguistics student. To me, there is no feeling like the one when you come to grasp a new concept- it’s just like having the perfect puzzle piece fit.

      Well that’s the basics of me.

      Hey ya’ll. I’m new around here, wassup. I’m Lilly, I’m 13 and I’m in 8th grade. I discovered this on an Instagram ad and immediately fell in love with it and all its magic and mystery. I’ve always been fascinated by magic and spiritual things and mystery, and this is so interesting! I’m glad I clicked on that add. Anyways, here’s a little about me;

      -I’m obsessed with unicorns and all things rainbow, I have been since like 5th grade.

      -I do karate, I’m going to be testing for my black belt this December.

      -I love music, it’s my passion. It’s what I want to do most with my life. I think I’ll be a composer when I grow up.

      -I’ve always been searching for some adventure all my life. I recently took a trip to Europe and discovered my passion for adventure ran deeper than I imagine. Whenever I get a chance to do something I’ll always remember, I know I have to do it.

      -I’ve also always had a thing for fairy tales. I think fairy tales and my love for adventure go hand in hand.

      -I’m a huge nerd and bookworm. I am always trying to figure out how one thing connects to another, and I’m always reading in my free time. I’m a huge fantasy fan.

      -Lastly, I’m in Balimora. So hello to my new guild!!!

      Thank all of you for reading, I can’t wait to dive deeper into this.

        If you like fairy tails and books then I think you’ll love the #the-creationary!

      Hi everyone!

      My name is MBWitch and I’m really shy when it comes to being new to a community so it may take me a while to get involved. I enjoy anything that has to deal with the supernatural and magic. When I took the assessment I was put into the Ebenguard which fits well with me. I’m also very passionate and expressive once people get to know me and I hope that soon I will be comfortable enough to be myself. I look forward to being a part of this world!

        Hello @MBWitch welcome to the forum!

        Your guild leaders are @Deyavi and @Ginger! If you have any questions shoot me, the other welcomes, or your guild leaders a message! The first post up at the top of this topic should also help you get situated!

        Don’t worry about being shy! You might not notice it but I’m incredibly shy irl! Feel free to take this whole forum thing at your own pace!

        If you want to split up your introduction I recommend introducing yourself over in the Ebenguard Guild Hall or if you don’t feel ready for that just send a message to me or your guild leaders and have a little conversation with them!

        You might like the #the-creationary which has writings and works of art by your fellow forum goers! #bookish has all things related to books. If you have any interests I didn’t list feel free to shoot me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction!

        I really hope you enjoy your time on the forum! My metaphorical/virtual door is always open!

      I also play Dragon Age and games like that to pass time indoors.

      Hello All! I am Brittany! I am a house wife and stay at home mother who adores to read, write, sing, garden, video games, Dungeons and Dragons, I adore Dragons period (Though I have more of an outlook of them like the Asians do), I have an amazing pit bull bully whom my children love, and I just recently hit that big 30 of age (I hope this is okay for intro?), I have read so many books, that I litterally have read everything interesting in my public library, and have gotten so desperate to start checking out books in the back for biology, astronomy, psychology, and such. I have been sorted into the house of Ebenguard, though I must say, not sure if I really fit there, since I am my own worst critic as the saying goes, but both times I took the assesment, it sent me there. So I am eager to learn and be apart of this lovely world, since I too read my children the Bernstein Bear books. I would put more, but I think this is a good start.

      The assessment has placed me in Flinterforge and besides that I have only read the rules and forum primer but will eventually get to everything else :laughing:

      Hello! My name is Cynthia, and I’m so glad to have found Ackerly Green and the Monarch Papers! I’ve always wanted there to be magic in this mundane world, but the closest I’ve ever experienced to it was my host, Kaitlyn, bringing me to life via Tulpamancy. When she saw an ad on Instagram, she thought I’d be interested, and we got sorted into our guilds (I’m a Thornmouth and she’s an Ebenguard). She read both books, and all the while I was able to watch the visualizations from inside her mind like in a movie theater. It was amazing and incredibly written!! Will definitely be leaving a super-positive review, because it blew the both of us away. Thank you.
