Hail AlgorathFBS and VaneDM. Pleased to have you among us. 
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.
In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Welcome to the Watch, VainDM and Algorath!

to test a man's character, give him power.

I have been summoned
I am new and seek to connect to other readers and lovers of the Land and its lore.

hi, my name is actually just joe and i'll be 22 pretty soon.tried the college thing but i prefer being outside and my real passion has always been carpentry anyway. i am now a plasterer to pay the bills but am trying to start my own chippy business and i have sold over 50 luxury childrens rocking horses in the last year.
i was born in melbourne australia but my family moved to hobart when i was very young.my mother is english and i spend a few weeks in london in the new year most years.i unashamedly love my island and i despise some of the jokes told about certain elements of tasmania's past.my girlfriend and i have recently had a bueatiful baby boy which has lead to me waking up insanely early and using this great site to while away the small hours before work.i am aware that my postings have been prolific and i am probably setting some sort of record but playing those games has strange relaxing effect on me.
love the outdoors and travelling and would recomend fiji and backpacking around australia in particular the Northern Territories.i also spend too much time surfing and playing sport.
i was introduced to the tommy c chrons about 5-6 years ago and finished all 6 books and gilden fire within 6 months and then moved onto the gap series.cant wait for the next book and thats about me....
one last thing-thanks for the creation of this site and the welcome is warmer here than any other site ive joined, i geuss donaldson fans know more about not giving in to despair than anyone else.

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.
I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Well, no problem. Let's see... I may be the only Italian here on KW, my name is Pier Giorgio and - although I was born and grew up in Italy - at the moment I'm pursuing my Ph.D. in Germany. I'm almost 26 (less than one month to go...), and I really hope I'll get my Ph.D. by the time I'm 28. Oh, by the way, I'm a molecular biologist and I'm taking a Ph.D. on neurobiology. If I survive the Ph.D., I have vague plans of moving to the States or to Australia for a post-doc - but that's still 2 1/2 years away, so it's very much speculative.
Apparently, I'm also the only scientist I know of who not only likes science, but also has other interests apart from it: over here, it appears that's enough to make you look like an alien or a nerd. But so it happens that I love reading, writing, drawing and roleplaying just as much as I do science. A consequence of this is that I'm probably the only person around this town who can relate with scientists AND people studying other topics
Lately I've taken up a new and rewarding hobby, which also has the added benefit of making people's eye pop when I tell them about it: world building! I find it a tremendously rewarding exercise in creativity, and it also gives me the chance to learn much about real-world cultures, religions, history, and customs. Plus, I use the world as a setting for my stories, and maybe someday I'll publish them.
I have more than a passing interest in mythology and religions, as well; being Italian (and from Rome, on top of it) I've been properly drilled in Greek-Roman mythology, and Egyptian mythology was something I loved since I was a little boy, but now I'm branching out into other ancient and mostly overlooked religions (such as Zoroastrianism and Manicheanism) as well as current religions we Westerners don't usually know much about (such as Hinduism and Buddhism). I figure that such studies not only help in keeping an open mind, but also allow me to think in new ways and to see philosophical dilemmas from wildly different points of view.
Yes, I love philosophizing and speculating as well (as if it wasn't clear by now ).
Hmm, I think that's sort of me in a nutshell... Sorry for the long-overdue presentation, folks!

Welcome Xar. I look forward to reading your posts as the ones I've come across are always interesting!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill
You're an asset to the Watch Xar, and you add greatly to our discussions. It's a pleasure to have you participating.-

Thank you for your background! I can relate to what you are saying.
