Hi again Osmelia!  That's a good question.  I would imagine one of the founders probably came up with it, but I don't know the reason behind it.  We'll just have to drag one of them in here!

Aha!  Found someone to answer that.  Eluvatar and Limitless Events thought up the name and the concept of the whole yin-yang thing with the symbol.  Limi says there's a long story behind it.

Hello and welcome!  Another lovely and especially inquisitive new face is very well come.  Feel free to poke around the forum to get to know the people and places, and check out the Community Office for a couple topics that can help you get used to the way the region works.

If you have any more questions, you can contact either Khablan or myself.  Enjoy Taijitu!

Hi and welcome to the region with the most difficult to spell name in NS.

I guess my name needs explaining too.  I'm about to become a dad for the first time, and the two names we have picked out are oscar and amelia.  Since we don't know the sex of the baby, I've been calling it Osmelia.

Osmelia would make a great name by itself.

* Alana looks up at the word "baby" and jumps back into the conversation.

My goodness yes, you'll simply have to indulge the forum females with photos of the cuteness!  Congratulations!

With Sol, sometimes it's better just to nod your head and smile.

Anyway, either way I think they are both great names.

 :D @ Akka.
Hallo und wilkkomen zu uns, Hermann Trude...sorry, the name pushed into using German. Settle right in and good luck with the on-coming baby. If you need anything just smack Soly. I mean adress Allama or Khab. The order of that can be random.
