[Mkguild] Hello

[Kit]

Wow, that's a pretty long email there ^_^. Anyway, hi, I'm Kit and pretty
new here too. I too have read the Wheel of Time series (up to book seven
anyway, i need to reread them soon...) and you're right, it is the
illumination guild. However, I get the idea that there's too many options in
the MK universe for them to successively hold on to their monopoly. If they
do exist, they will not be nearly as powerful as in the series you found
them in. But in the end it's completely up to whoever decides to create
them. If that's you, then you'll have a pretty free reign on who and what
they are. Anyway, I hope to see you around!

Kit
