Welcome Bryher al'Venna as our new director
We had two people apply for this position and have chosen Bryher to run our library as we continue to strive to be the number one source of Wheel of Time information
Ilverin did a fantastic job over the last couple of years, but the work is never...
Also, how much memory does the Dark One have? If he is eternal, does he remember every encounter? Surely he knows nothing works? Or is he not really conscious, just some sort of reflection of man's worst aspects (Can't say I like either of those ideas). We see how he is defeated in these books...

This is interesting, I just watched a Webinar on "Analysis of RNASeq from >5000 individuals in the 100000 genomes project identifies new potential diafnoses for patients with rare disease" a couple of weeks ago.
The figure they gave was there are at least 6000 of them and about 1 in 17 people...
