    Lanfear - Is Tel'aran'rhiod really her domain?

    Recent revelations got me thinking about Lanfear. Driven by jealousy and love, Lanfear is undoubtedly one of the most interesting of the Forsaken. I see Lanfear as a tragic character, someone who never lived up to the expectations of her age, falling short of her third name and failing to win...

    Would you have preferred a different ending?

    Simple question - do you think Rand being "resurrected" in Moridins body to be a cheap trick? Or do you think it works? Would you have preferred to see Rand make the ultimate sacrifice in his death, or was the abandonment of his life enough of a sacrifice to make it worthwhile? Any thoughts?

    Ta'veren is legitimate plot armour

    I have given this some thought. The Tav'eren abilities (especially in TSR which I am currently reading) serve as a way to legitimise plot armour and Deus ex Machina events within the overall plot. Whilst this could be seen as a cheap and tacky gimmick, the way Jordan pulls this off is to still...

    Wheel of Time - The metaphysics of the Wheel - Does conscious perception constitute the Pattern?

    Hello all, We are told that the Great Wheel of Time weaves the patters using people lives as threads. Each thread moves in the pattern and has the chance to entangle other threads around it - this is emphasized with the Ta'ver'en. The Wheels energy comes from the True Source, and in the Wheel...

    My problem with TV Show Ishamael (book spoilers)

    Hello fellow WoT lovers, I was thinking about this last night - I have a real problem with TV Ishamael. My problem is that they haven't given us Ishamael, they have given us Moridin. Ishamael is particularly unhinged - part of which could be relativistic time effects around the bore meaning...

    Age of the Wolfbrothers

    Hello all, So I am really enjoying my first re-read of Wheel of Time. Almost close to finishing EotW. So we know that Wolfbrothers are not from the Age of Legends but are from before the Age of Legends, before the Power had ever been touched (assuming Elyas and others are reliable narrators)...

    So with the show there is an opportunity to see more of the WoT Universe, there are many things that happen in the WoT Universe that we do not get to see On Page. It would seem from Season 1 AoL cold open that we are getting to see the time before the Breaking. I understand time and budget...

    Is the Bore a hole in Tel'aran'rhiod?

    We know that Tel'aran'rhiod is the world of dreams and we also know that across all of the Multiversal patterns, there exists only one Creator, one Dark One and one Tel'aran'rhiod. Essentially the world of dreams is the manifestation of consciousness, which is why you need to sleep to enter it -...

    Ahoy the camp

    Good morning all, I am currently on a re-read of the WoT, been a fan for a few decades and decided with the TV series coming along that my first re-read was in order. There are so many good books and alas so little time, that I rarely re-read anything. However WoT is a worthy addition to my...
