May you always find water and shade,
Pardon me if I'm rusty my last reread is going on 5-6 years now, of which I think I've gone through the whole series at least 8 times.
I first picked up the series with The Dragon Reborn back in 98 or so, from there it quickly became my favorite series.
I'm live in a remote village in rural Alaska so the main characters going out in the world for the first time rang true with me
Matt is the first to pop up if I had to pick just one, however I did want to name my daughter after Nyneve, did get to name my oldest son after Olver (he's named Oliver, closest I was able to get it)
With Amazon working on a tv adaptation I'm getting soooo hype to be able to share this series with everyone and have added a few WoT podcasts to my subscribered list and the Black Tower sent me this way!!

Somewhere in the Two Rivers I imagine, like my own family homestead and farm. Somewhere with a great view of the mountains and trees

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that you heard about us from the Podcast. It was a lot of fun to do.

I live in Washington, and I've always wanted to visit Alaska. My grandmother was born in Alaska before it was a State, and I've always wanted to see where she's from.

Hey that's pretty cool!!! I've been lucky enough to make down to Seattle a few times and thought it was beautiful down that way!

Hello and welcome, Weyapuk! :D It's really good to see a new face around. Please feel free to explore - there may not be too much available right now, but once you hit 25 posts, you can apply for Citizenship and then you will get a whole host of new threads to check out, too. And of course, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, people are more than happy to help.

As you can see, I'm extremely far from Alaska, so I don't know all that much from first-hand experience, but it's always seemed like the perfect place to get a bit of peace and quiet and nature if you get a little... people'd out, so to speak. :laugh:

That it is!! Plenty of time for books and movies and other indoor activities (especially in the winter while the weather sucks!!!)

I love it when new people greet us with Aiel references. :laugh:

May you always find water and shade, Weyapuk! :fistbump

I haven't heard the Black Tower podcast yet, but I want to catch up with another podcast before I start in on that one. :look:

My friends have named their kids after the nerdy things they love too. That's a sweet tradition. :pleased-1:

Too much of anything can be a bad thing; I'm sure it does get a bit too isolated, but... I'd love to visit at least. :D

Welcome! I love that you named your son after Olver. <3 I've met a few people through the years who have named their daughters Nyneave or Aviendah. :)

Yes of course, everything in moderation, except moderation
Surprisingly I've been blessed to meet ppl from all over the world in my little vill because of where we're located.
And having been close to a year and a half since I stopped logging into Facebook, hearing of a community that loves my favorite series I was happy to come join in ☺️

Hi and welcome Weyapuk! My dad was stationed up in Alaska back when he was in the air force, and he absolutely loved it. Interestingly enough, I've known a small cluster of Wheel of Time fans that live up there for quite some time. Sadly I've lost touch with most of them, but it's good to see the tradition lives on up that way :)

Oh dang Aviendah would have been amazing!!!
Guess you'll just have to have another daughter! :P :laugh:

It's pretty amazing that so many people from around the world come through your little village - are you located in a place that brings in a lot of tourists?
