I might also ask if Randland has an actual name. I'm sure it's been asked before, though.

It does. It's called the Westlands per Robert Jordan about 5 years ago. :P

Oh, cool. Thanks. Super-lame name, though. Westlands. Pshaw.

the Westlands are just the area between the Aryth Ocean and the Spine of the World, I don't think the world itself has a name

The name Westlands originates from The WoT Roleplaying Game as a name for the main continent, and has been mentioned a couple times by RJ in interviews since.

But it is never mentioned in the books, or really confirmed by RJ as an official name for the region.

I thought Robert Jordan confirmed it officially...I remember a huge uproar because people thought it was an asinine name since the land to the west in SoT is also called the Westlands. :P

Nah,

It's an RPG thing which has sort of bled across into discussions on the books.

Never fully confirmed by Rj, but it gets chucked around by people, and Sanderson and so on sometimes.


As close a name it ever comes to, but not official no.

I didn't know these were real questions to be answered by Sanderson. :laugh:
