On behalf of all The White Tower, and Tar Valon, we would like to welcome you to The-White-Tower.com. We were in operation on MSN Groups for over eight years now and moved to our own domain, The-White-Tower.com in 2008 when Groups shut down. For such changes and updates in the overall way things are conducted, check out the Updates page. Management may also send out email announcements to the entire Tower at once, so please make sure you provide a valid email address upon joining our forums, and when you fill out the application form.
Please note that some links are not yet active, please check back frequently.
In order to join us there are several things that you need to do.
*note* You must have read the books or prove you have extensive knowledge of what goes on in them, if not then you'll be denied, or kicked out if we find out later.
Things and pages you need to read are as follows:
Please become familiar with our Role Playing Rules. These are very important, they provide a list of IC (In Character) and OOC (Out of Character) rules for our Tower, and what you can, and cannot do as a member. If you have any questions at any time, feel free to email us at FAQ@The-White-Tower.com.
The FAQs (or Frequently Asked Questions) page. Have a question you don't see listed? Email us at FAQ@The-White-Tower.com.
Reading these pages is mandatory. For further specific rules for what a character may or may not do at their rank see the respective pages (for example: novice rules are on a page under "Novices"). The Gray Ajah also has a section on Tower Law and Customs that you should become familiar with. Those pages are an ongoing project and should be checked regularly.
Another important fact is this, our site is set about 30 years after the cleansing of saidin, as such, there is an entire history you need to be filled in on. For this go to the Brown Ajah and see the Tower Library. There is a book you can read called The History of Our Tower. That span of time is to accommodate that Kaydrienne is our Amyrlin, Elayne is Queen of Andor, and the M'Haels of the Black Tower. When it comes to all the nations, positions of the Seanchan, the High Lords of Tear, the Forsaken, etc assume that part of the world is where the most recent book left off.
Then, you need to write us a biography for your character. This needs to be about one page typed. It needs to include your character's history: where they grew up, where they come from and who they grew up with, what their personality is, why are they the way they are, etc. For further information, details, and in case you have more questions about biographies, please see our FAQ page.
This is when you use the Membership Application Form
The Application Form will open in a new window, so but please keep reading for now.
*note* You need a valid email address in order to join.
It will then be approved or denied. If denied you will be told what needs to be changed about it then you will be given instructions on what to do next. Once your biography is approved it will be put up in the "Biographies" section of the Library, your application to join will be accepted, and you may begin to RP.
Once your application to join has been accepted, you may then RP your way around the Tower. Now if you wish your character to become an initiate of the Tower, they need to make their way to the respective authority...aka go to the Mistress of Novice's study if you want to become a Novice or to the Master of Arms if you wish to become a Warder in Training. You may start out at a more advanced level, or even be a servant, employee of the Tower, citizen of the town, or a character that wanders the world "Outside Tar Valon". [Outside Tar Valon under construction]
If you wish to use a picture of your character or specific background on your bio page, you will need to email it to Apply@The-White-Tower.com. Please note that if you do not post for 2 months your membership from the site may be revoked. If you in fact warn the Keeper or Amyrlin that you will be away for an extended period of time, you will be immune to this policy. If you are active and suddenly disappear, not posting, without warning and unable to contact you, your membership will be kept until we learn what happened to you. We do reserve the right to revoke any membership at any time for any reason.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good Luck!
