Hail Lords and Ladies, Swordsmen and Soldiers, Kings and Priests. I am Sir Joshua from the Sandy Fjords, though my surname has been shortened in this modern age. I am currently studying the craft of a scribe in an effort to serve our great King with excellence.

As I have journeyed these four years with our King, He has led me here to the Holy Worlds. I am very excited to not only find your community, but to be given entrance in an effort to train in what seems to be a safe, healthy and creative environment. I look forward to sharpening my blade and sparring with the great men and women here.

Welcome to Holy Worlds! Who are your favorite authors?

Currently my scroll collection contains the writings of Larry Brooks, Terry Goodkind and Orson Scott Card. I'm also enjoy reading the works of Isaac Asimov and Sandy Mitchell (From the land of the Warhammer).

Welcome to HW! What are your favorite genres?

Tales from the archives of Epic Fantasy and Steampunk are what I enjoy the most.

Hey, Joshua! We are so happy to have you join us!!

Hello and welcome! *sprinkles glitter around*

*Throws blue and green glitter* Welcome to Holy Worlds, Joshua! Glad to have you join us! How did you come to find HW?

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Joshua! It's wonderful to have you here! *tosses a handful of purple glitter*

Welcome to HolyWorlds, Joshua! Glad that you found us! Enjoy the craziness, hilarity and writerlyness of our realm, we're glad to have you.

Welcome, Knight of the Sandy Fjords. * dips a curtsy she has been practicing * Many of us here share your studies (except for those who don't actually write... ), and we will help you as best we can. We are very friendly here, even when we're not in the chat room (which is good cause there's usually nobody in the chat room when I'm in it... time zones and all that), so make yourself at home. * lights a fire in one end of the room to make it cheerful, and puts a fan in the other end to keep everyone from over heating *

Thank you to all! I don't believe I have ever had such a warm and colorful welcome as the one I have received here this day.

I found this majestic realm through an elder of Enteerneth whose name is Guug El. He showed me the Book of Faces which described the place in which we stand.

There was also a mystical blue Phoenix whose song transformed into short magical phrases about the adventures of the land.

I look forward to the festivities that seem to fill the landscape.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Joshua! We met briefly in the chat-room yesterday. It's great to have you join us here. We're holding a Steampunk party on Holy Worlds Science Fiction for New Year, which is something you might enjoy!

*attempts to shake all of the glitter off his clothes*
Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!
Yes! Someone actually mentioned us!!!

Welcome to HolyWorlds, JoshuaSSandefur! Have some cake. *hands JSS a piece of chocolate cake*

*takes a bite of the cake* Wow! You truly have made a glorious desert! I feel as though my birth has been celebrated!

I must say, I've never had quite the reaction you just gave, when I've handed people cake!! Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad to have you join us, Joshua! You've come to the right place to do those things. I hope your stay here is profitable.

*hurries in, late for the party* Excuse me! Pardon me! I was delayed. Terribly sorry. I brought a few things. I'm afraid the cake got scorched slightly by the dragon, but it still seems to be decently okay. *puts cake on the table*

*hands a gift to the new member* Sorry i didn't make it on time, but with one thing and the other, I barely made it here at all. *curtsies politely* I hope you like the gift and welcome to Holy Worlds, Sir Joshua of the Sandy Fjords.

*Opens gift* How did you know I needed a new blade? You have truly made my visitation here end up being a habitation. I do believe that the Holy Worlds are beginning to feel like home.

You can never have too many blades, can you? A new inhabitant! This calls for a celebration! *calls in the penguins to bring their delectable punch and quickly makes another cake*
