Well, I have been asked a few times what is a Talitha. The answer isn't an easy one. Talitha is a new staff member who hopes to help guide players and the shard into many more years of joy. I am here for all of you both player and staff. Im very new and green and my learning curve will be steep. I have been lost already 2 times here at Sylvan Heart shard and both times I was amazed at what I found. I promise to do all I can to help and as well, I promise to be sure to say "I am sorry I cannot do that you will need to contact a Senior Member of Sylvan Staff" any time I can. haha
Now to answer your question: "what is a Talitha". or in the the ancient form Ταλιθα. I chose this name because I like the sound of it and as well, the story is intriguing
the short answer is She was a little girl of Jewish decent who was very ill and died after a time. She and her family was visited shortly after her death by a great man. She was resurrected from her death and there are writings about this event, the events prior and post her resurrection. Take a moment if you wish and read about it.

And taking the hand of the child, he said to her, "Talitha cumi "(Ταλιθα κουμ), which translates as, "Little girl, I say to you, get up."
