On behalf of the residents of The Oriental World, we would like to welcome you to our community. When you have time please stop at The Floating Garden Social Center and leave a post at the Introductions and Welcomes topic telling us a little about yourself, there may already be a welcome post there waiting for you. Come on over to the Kublai Khantina for a drink and some informal roleplay! Join the general history discussions at the Imperial Court...or start one of your own. Try your hand at a little Haiku poetry or test yourself on Oriental Trivia. Lastly, come discuss or post reviews of your favorite films with an Asian flair in the Khannes Film Festival.

If you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask one of The Orient's scribes (Sankira Qin, Lalita Ashoka, or myself, Aria Murasaka). If you require immediate assistance, send a gram via your commpanel to the Orient scribes or any scribe or demi online and they will try to aid you. Also, if your looking for activities to participate in or just a friendly face to show you around the site, contact via gram or personal message any patron from The Orient! This site is funded by it's subscribing members, and they often know their way round the site well and are eager to help new members. Ancient Worlds is a very friendly community and all your questions are welcome.
