**FD - The Valaquenta of TORn!

Honored TORnadoes, TORnsibs, TORnfolks, and whatever your preferred variation of members of TORn is, welcome to the 16th Celebration of the Founding of TORn!
Back at the tenth anniversary preparations, the party conspirators deemed it necessary to produce a history of the founders and founding of TORn. Here is the magnificent result, lovingly written by Alassëa Eruvandi, and crafted by the awesome Daniel Reeve, as it was posted on the Home page that day.
Happy Founders' Day!

(With all due apologies to Treebeard and his Lore of the Living Creatures!  )
Learn now the Lore of the TORnStaff Creatures!
First name the Four, the Founders of TORn:
Xoanon the Webmaker, Finder of News,
..Go-between, Interviewer, who brings them all together;
Tehanu the Java-lover, player of cellos,
..Ultimate Spy and first link to the Movies;
Corvar the computer-master, Keeper of the Servers,
..Maintainer of the bytes which contain our very words;
Calisuri the Uninhibited, Designer of the Site,
..Tamer of pixels and developer of pages.
Next name the Senior Staff, overseers of human interface:
Altaira the Superuser, who watches over us all,
..Fiesta Bar-mistress and bane of all Trolls;
MrCere the SandWitch King, who posts from the shower,
..Gatherer and disseminator of News old and new;
Jincey, editor, motherly towards all,
..Proprietress of Barliman's and welcomer of guests ;
Demosthenes, Barliman server of ales,
..Attender of events and reporter of same;
maegwen, Barliman barmaid gregarious,
..Designer and assembler of moots large and small.
Then name the Admins, safe-keepers of Message Boards:
Ataahua the humorous, instigator of Conspiracies;
BG, beloved programmer of these New Boards;
Dernwyn the librarian, Bored of the Rings quoter;
Draupne the horse-lover, speaker of strange languages;
Earl the musician, church-organ virtuoso;
Eledhwen the well-travelled, with "Dreamy Aspirations";
Entmaiden the organizer, business-account genius;
Hengist the sword-wielder, gentleman and scholar;
Inferno the Computer Wizard, solver of problems;
Kimi the book-lover, and writer of stories;
Kyriel the travel agent for "Middle-Earth Tours";
Rosie-with-the-Ribbons, of the famous "I  Hot Dwarves" T-shirt;
Silverlode the witty and lover of history.
And those who for long kept Barli's doors open wide:
IRC ops Arathorn, who we still meet at Moots;
and CharlieMS, oft-unnoticed but essential.
And we shall not forget those who have sailed West, forever in our hearts: Balin, moderator and moot-maker!
(As with all lists, there may be some creatures who, like the hobbits, might have not yet been noticed; please mention them, so that they may be included in the List!)

That's what I need, anyone who needs to be on the list, but who isn't!
Now, what to say about the magnificent greendragon, the "alien of extraordinary ability"...(yes, that's what it says on her green card!  )

Wonderful!
Many thanks to the TORnstaff for all that they do here - their hard work and their friendly and professional manner, and also their wonderful, great sense of humor.
They set the tone and have kept this place a haven, really .
It's a treasure to be able to come here and always feel a kind, accepting, welcoming atmosphere.
Thank you, TORnstaff !
