Rolling out the welcome mat for Morna Chi and quidamsol Chosokabe, our newest honourable citizens of the marvelous, mysterious Orient. Please sit and enjoy a bowl of tea while I tell you a little about our wonderful world. There's lots to see and do! You can meet people at places on the Floating Garden Social Center board, such as the Kublai Khantina, our local pub. For information on a new home and the family name you have chosen, visit our Neighborhood Hall. Just for fun, you can test your knowledge of the Orient on our Festival Quizzes thread and take home gorgeous plaques and awards. Once you've settled in, you'll probably want to start decorating your new home. You can find backgrounds, avatars and other goodies like the lovely plaque at the beginning of this message by Shanti Ashoka on the Living in the Orient thread. Don't forget to check the flapping scroll on your homesite for a more detailed introduction to the Orient and AncientWorlds. If you have any questions or need help, please do not hesitate to contact our Orient Scribes: Lara Vardhana, Feiyan Zhou and Jia Li Shen Chi (that's me!). Most important: Enjoy yourself!
