Greetings, Gentles!

... and not so gentles (Dwarves, I'm lookin' at you!).

Didn't see an intro thread, so thought I'd start one of my own.  The name, as you can probably gather, is Matt, but you probably know me better in-game as Visserion.  I'm still fairly new here, but slowly getting my footing and learning, largely in thanks to the absolutely wonderful folks I've met in the past 5 days.  For those who are interested (and even those who aren't), I'm 32 years old, live in the beautiful foothills of Tennessee down near Chattanooga, and I'm an avid historian and lover of all manner of minutae and obscure factoids.  I like long walks on the beach, late nights in front of a roaring fire, and ... oh wait ... got this confused with my eHarmony advertisement.   In any event, I'm extremely glad to be here, amongst all you fine folks.  And Attila.
