Hello to Morpheus Ashoka and rosa4love Zopa. Welcome to the Orient. You should find a flapping scroll welcoming you in your home that includes some fast links around our world. We'd love it if you would say hello and introduce your new persona here on this thread or in our Kublai Khantina (er, it's an 'e-tavern'). Or if you prefer to make your introductions with a flair for poetry, why not try your hand at Haiku in our Falling Cherry Blossom haiku thread. If you're looking for avatar ideas, different pavilion names to suit your chosen region, backgrounds or other graphics, click on the lovely Indian scenic image above, it will lead you to our 'Living in the Orient' thread.

The Orient is a really friendly world so don't be shy, explore and meet some of our citizens. If you have any problems you can stop by one of the Orient scribes homes (Feiyan Zhou, Rachana Khan and me, Sun Ming.) or gram any scribe or demi via your commpanel. Our patrons are very helpful too, so if you have questions, I know they will do their best to help you out.

Enjoy your new persona and welcome to The Orient!
