Hi there all!

I'm happy to be here and look forward to discussing the Wheel Of Time over the upcoming months and hopefully, years.

I used to be involved in WOT forums very actively 15-20 years ago when I was reading the books and the series had yet to be completed.

After Robert Jordan sadly passed away, and the books were finished by BS I lost a little interest.

Not that I felt Brandon Sanderson did a bad job as such, i believe he did as well as anyone could expect, it's just that it wasn't the same.

Of course the greatest sadness was Robert Jordan's passing.

For a few years following I didn't really think about WOT that much, until I heard that it was being adapted into a TV series.

I recall seeing the 'Winter Dragon' short film, and for a while after I didn't really believe that WOT would ever be adapted visually again.

I was therefore excited to hear about the TV series, until i started to find out about some of the changes that were being made to the plot and characters.

As such, I did not initially watch when it was released.

However, having heard very good things about season 2 over the last week, I decided to watch the series, and after a few initial concerns, have largely felt that it remains true to the spirit of the books.

This has led to my interest in WOT being re-awoken as it were, and as such I decided to return to the forums to, mainly, discuss the TV series, but also to be involved in other discussions.

I have also decided to re-read the books, and am looking for a good podcast to listen to about the series.

Welcome to Tar Valon!! It's awesome to have you return to the Wheel of Time community online!

Thanks a lot!

I remember spending a great deal of time on the old style Encyclopaedia WOT - (photeus.com/ewot/).

I've just seen its been updated which is great. I wonder how many of the active members from the discussion groups years ago have returned due to the tv series, or, maybe they never left!

I would have used it again if i could!

There was a usenet group (remember those!) I recall being part of around the time as well.

Numerous theories being discussed about who killed who! Did so and so forsaken survive Mashadar...
