History of Website

Initially inspired by this post from Nornbasher. Announced in alt.games.creatures on 29 April 1998.

Interesting Facts

• The first norn to be put up on Tortured Norns was Slave, a female with a genetic predisposition towards being drunk (and therefore sleepy).
• AN was, in reality a wildlife rehabber who specialized in wolves. His real goal was, indeed to teach people to take care of the helpless and that was why the website was created. - Moca
