Welcome to TanchiCon! The capital of intrigue, culture, and your next favorite weekend.
If this is your first JordanCon, let’s get the most important thing out of the way first: you do not need to know everything, read everything, or recognize everyone to belong here.
JordanCon has always been a little more family reunion than intimidating mega-con, and new members are very much part of that tradition.
This year’s theme draws inspiration from Tanchico, one of the oldest and most vibrant cities in The Wheel of Time. Known for its white-plastered buildings, winding streets, masked traditions, and political intrigue, Tanchico is a place where secrets are traded, alliances shift, and everyone seems to be wearing at least one metaphorical veil.
If that sounds exciting — great.
If it sounds overwhelming — also great.
You’re doing it right.
That’s where New Member Services comes in.
Our job is to help you navigate your first JordanCon with confidence, curiosity, and maybe even a little swagger. Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing guides, tips, and gentle nudges to help you figure out what you want your JordanCon to look like — because no two experiences are ever the same.
You’ll hear from us in a few different ways, so keep an eye out for:
- ✨ Virtual pre-con events, including casual meet-and-greets and orientation-style sessions
- 🕵️ Information about the Con Game, designed to help you explore the con space while uncovering secrets of the Panarch’s Court
- 📝 More blog posts spotlighting different parts of JordanCon — panels, traditions, social events, and all the things first-timers tend to wonder about at 2 a.m.
If you ever have questions (big, small, or “I’m not even sure how to ask this”), we’d love to hear from you.

We’re here to help, to reassure, and occasionally to say, “Yep, that feeling is normal or Come sit with us.”
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You just need curiosity, comfortable shoes, and maybe a water bottle.
Welcome to the city.
Welcome home.
