\"\"<\/a>When TheOneRing.net marked its 10th anniversary in 2009, we celebrated in style<\/a>. We had such a good time, we decided to celebrate every year on April 26, the date\u00a0when TORn was established.<\/p>\n

19th TORniversary Party Tree Leaf – Kauri Pine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To us, however, this is more than an Anniversary.\u00a0 Inspired by TORn Discussion Board member weaver,\u00a0April 26 has evolved into Founders Day.\u00a0 It’s become TheOneRing.net’s official holiday to celebrate our four Founders and is our time to say thanks<\/em> to them and the people who keep this place going.\u00a0 It’s a great day to find shade under our FD Tree<\/a> and reminisce, tell war stories,\u00a0or reflect on all the adventures and friendships that have been forged over the years.\u00a0 If you watch closely, you’ll see that every year a new leaf sprouts with its own unique look. [Here’s more about our FD Party Tree<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Come to our Discussion Boards<\/a> where the day is filled with the best that a virtual party can offer.\u00a0 Everyone is invited to join in — so don’t be shy!\u00a0 Look for special party threads clearly identified in the subject line on our message board posts (mostly found on Main<\/a>, Off Topic<\/a> and Reading Room<\/a>).\u00a0 Hunt around, find a party game you like, or a conversation you enjoy, and dive in!\u00a0\u00a0You can even order a virtual drink at Fiesta Friday. Plus Barliman’s<\/a> chat and our facebook page<\/a> are always open and welcome both old friends and new visitors… so why not drop in and say Hi!?<\/p>\n

A list of this year’s games can be found right here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s to our Founders: Corvar, Xoanon, Tehanu, Calisuri!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Happy 19th TORniversary, TheOneRing.net!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As part of our celebration, every year we reprise posting the TORn “Valaquenta<\/i>” shown here. The TORn “Valaquenta<\/a>“<\/i> was written by member Alass\u00eba Eruvende and set most beautifully to paper by our dear friend Daniel Reeve, calligrapher and artist for Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings<\/em> and Hobbit<\/em> movies. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
