hiya, welcome!! i've also lurked in warrior's forums/sites for YEARS and only just came across this one this year. we're in the same boat haha. happy to have you here!!
and yes, navigating the site can be wild. i'm still finding my way around and see new stuff every time i dig for it LOL. just take one thing at a time and you should be fine! i started with only two characters and one clan and am slowly building up from there... it's getting easier and you get to meet some great people
)
also, i absolutely love the named Mottledmoth/etc. so cute
