Egwene has unrealistic expectations of punctuality in the World of Dreams, the Taint is comparable to an industrial accident, and we spend far too much time researching questions that have no answers.
The rest of the cast gets to react to ZenJesusRand, Alanna vanishes by means unknown (and her other warder is also missing), new visions shed no new light on the plot, Tam is the best dad, and Aradia has an unimportant announcement about the Patreon in the aftershow.

Mat is barhopping, we are spotting fan inserts at every establishment, the gholam makes an unwelcome return, and we learn the term “lampshading” in real time.

Morgase is having a tough time with Perrin, just like us! Lan has a new sword prodigy, Galad is remarkably lacking in followup questions, and Sulin isn’t quite done being on the page yet.
Perrin has three Dream Visions, Aradia is wrong about the Whitecloaks, Seth has a conspiracy theory about the Blood Knives, Gawyn thinks with his other sword, and after much complaining we get some Dark Prophecies as a treat at the end.
Egwene has three True Dreams, Aradia is wrong about so many things, and Seth confuses an ordinary word with the name of an Aes Sedai.

Aradia and Seth start out strong on Book 13 of The Wheel of Time by both learning about words they may be pronouncing wrong. Lan gains his first follower, Perrin’s dreams are not his own, and Graendal is insufficiently clever for our tastes.

It’s time for Schrodinger’s wheat, the two D-named lords being more alike than ever, and a whole lot of tangents back into the real world. Rand is rapidly descending towards rock bottom and the cognitive dissonance of gatewaying from Arad Domon’s huddled masses to Tear’s cheering throng is not helping.
For the aftershow we discuss our initial reactions to the TV show getting canceled.

It’s time for our least favorite Mat rant. Also Perrin tries to be decisive, Talmanes is the real MVP of the Band, Rand’s nihilism affects the land even more than his madness, and Brandon Sanderson gives us a healthier grieving ritual than Robert Jordan would ever have considered writing out so plainly.

The dreaded Floor Beans happen. Perrin has paperwork and sensory sensitivities. Suian and Sharina talk strategy. Beslan is a collaborator. Aradia is in a different location. Seth mansplains mansplaining.

Seth campaigns hard for a pet headcanon, Gawyn shows more class consciousness than the Aes Sedai, Cadsuane finds someone to look up to, and Aradia thinks Balthamel is the most likely of the Forsaken to be a conspiracy theorist.

Today’s chapter is a hefty chunk of plot resolution and common sense being interpreted as cleverness. Egwene is getting stuff done! We also ponder if forkroot rules have been retconned and how subterfuge can affect the Darkfriend oaths.

Ituralde puts off facing the inevitable by relaying a story that triggers Seth to go on his patented “juggling doesn’t work like that” rant, while Aradia ponders if an apparent plot hole merits a deep dive into the history of tobacco cultivation in the US South. Also we thank some new Patreons.

We open on a Gawyn chapter, beginning a pattern of complaining that we decide to sweeten with some silly headcanon just to stretch the runtime. Next we turn to Harene and her very interesting potential to ask a question someday, and finally we visit Cadsuane and her presently ineffective questioning of Semirhage.

We got a season 3 trailer!!! But Seth is so distracted by buying a house that we move on fairly quickly. Egwene gives a piece of advice that Aradia genuinely holds onto in times of doubt, Aviendha has imposter syndrome so bad it feels like a callout, and we agree that while Sanderson might be an apple to RJ’s onion he also does understand the central thesis about the difference between hardness and strength.

Seth turns 43, Aradia has the Christmas tree up already, and the wind of the opening paragraph gets hit with a bubble of evil as it heads towards Rand at peak burnout. We see Sanderson laying out his priorities for the book and his writing in the narrative choices in the chapter, and get adjusted to seeing the characters through his eyes.

WoTSpoilers returns to the second half of the prologue of the first Sanderson book, where Forsaken are frolicking and Aradia is defending their very relatable decisions. We also get to see Domani and Seanchan armies that feel out of scale, and witness the redemption of Faile.

WoTSpoilers returns with a new season, a new book, and of course a new author of that book. That’s right, the Sanderson Era begins now, and with it our final trilogy of books in this podcast project. The land is one with the Dragon, and the land is ready to fight back. We cover the first three of six POVs in the prologue; this week is Renald Fanwar, Falendre the sul’dam, and Tylee Khirgan.
But first we have some Patreons to thank, and some updates from our lives, not all of them good. Sorry about that.

Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where we are doing our last (non-prequel) Robert Jordan episode. We ponder the most important questions, like “which Forsaken is the kindest to animals” and “where did that army of 200,000 people go?” Suroth moves from the “fuck around” to the “find out” parts of her life, Taim is doing his best Elaida impression, and Seth fell down a rabbit hole that led exactly nowhere.

Introducing the newest podcast from Fox And Raven Media!
"Used2Sew" is an entertaining podcast about one of the most important inventions to impact American lives outside of the automobile: the sewing machine.
Mother-daughter team TR Kelley and Aradiapedia will be talking about sewing machines, sewing history, and sewing culture in the past and present. With comedic timing and far-ranging references, we will explore topics including (but not limited to) textiles, technology, transportation, industry, women, business, home sewing, social movements, politics, and the impacts of fast fashion. We will also talk a lot about vintage sewing machines with an emphasis on the Singer company, plus detours into the commercial and industrial textile world. There will also be personal Tales of Sales from when TR worked for Singer, and fun contests and calls to action.
Stay threaded!
Episodes 0-3 available now at https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/used2sew--6285838 or where ever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where we are on episode 500?!!?!?!?! Thank you for being on this journey with us. We start the episode with some heavy-hitting Patreon thank yous, eventually turning to Rand and his explosive meeting with Semirhage in one of the more iconic moments of the later series.

Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where we are wholly confused by the timeline and canonical order of events. Tuon gets the closest to admitting she was wrong that she’ll ever get, Aradia stands up for Talmanes, and Seth notices that the Band’s startup capital came from its own captains.

Margeau joins us for an Elaida that is going full Henry VIII/Aridhol as well as a solid ream of evidence that Vanindred is a real plot. We also have a good mountain lesson at the end, both in the book and IRL.

We also thank new Patreons at the top and talk about the partial solar eclipse at the end.

The first 10 minutes are announcements and thanking new Patreons

We each learn some new things, disagree about how cool Sylviana is, and consider the trope of pain tolerance as a proxy for being a moral character.

Abby Goldsmith is a longtime fan of WoT, a fellow podcaster, and an author with a series of books currently coming out.

We’re finally here!!! We’re in the 4th quarter of the Wheel of Time!!!
We try to get into Galad’s head by contemplating the difference between what has to be done vs the right thing to be done. We also wonder what even is the point of Asunawa? There is some beautiful sword form poetry before the plot goes absolutely Tara-bonkers, and Editing Aradia hopes you appreciate the (relatively) succinct result.

Seth and Aradia rewatch episode six after having finished the whole season. This cast has too much talent and we are not ok. Stay tuned afterwards for a digression on the artistic value of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Aradia gets to talk about their favorite Winter’s Heart POV, while Seth gets his math teacher hat on. Thanks for coming to our TED talk.

Hello WoTSpoilers fans! There is no episode this week, due to a last minute recording cancelation, BUT, I do have something for you. I’ve got a new podcast! Here’s a taste of what it will be like:
Welcome to episode zero of the Hot Nuance Book Club! Today we’re just letting you know that we’re here. (We’re also queer! Happy pride month!) And we’re inviting you to join our book club!
Each week, we’ll be reading ~50-100 pages of Exiles: The Ruins of Ambrai by Melanie Rawn, and breaking down what we read and what we think about it.
Bree read the book in her teens in the 1990s when it released, but Ali and Aradia are reading it for the very first time. How does it hold up? How does it compare to the fantasy men were writing at the time Grab a copy and read along to find out!
While the book is out of print at some retailers, you can find trade paperback and used copies all over the internet. Or you can grab the ebook from your favorite retailer!
For Episode One, we’re reading Collan (pages 3-48) in the ebook! Once you’re caught up, come hang with us on our Discord server and tell us all of your thoughts!

It’s bath time! The much-maligned, much-anticipated, larger-than-life bath is finally here!!! This is a chapter of water and sass, as the Sea Folk and Andoran nobles alike get a taste of what Queen Elayne Aes Sedai is going to be like. Our Winter’s Heart sections are some of the juiciest writing we’ve had in a while, as a lovely treat between chapters. We also discuss the connection between hot water, magic, and civilization, debate if shoes are evil, wonder about salt water baths, and realize that this podcast is sponsored by inherited wealth.

Will Aradia remember who Sareitha is today? Is Seth right about changing jobs being a skill? Have you heard the dulcet tones of our guest before today? Shar from WoT In Color joins us for a walk down the hallway towards a bath, discussing women in male-dominated workplaces, the color of beryl, the exhausting power of hate, and of course the wild adventure of hosting a first-time reader podcast!
We also visit Verin for a precious moment, and realize that Dani and Brett of Wheel Weaves have passed us as of January!?!?

What is the value of mythmaking to national identity? What is the nature of being “wise?” All these questions will be answered! We also touch on the Verin casting, announce a change to our Patreon benefits, and go off on several other tangents at the end.

We plough into a second double-header with Perrin this week, this time with returning guest Chad, who is (like the rest of us) only here for the timeline sync with the Cleansing. We come up with firm evidence that Annoura is actually Demandred, apply the “salt bae” meme amidst two Darkhound lore drops, compose new fanfic potential for Maseama and Fain, decide that sheep-siblings make more sense than wolf-brothers, and Seth educates us on the concept of competing infinities.

We plow into a double-header with Perrin this week, as he plods through recap, Darkhound footprints, and clear signals of despair from Aram. Aradia asks what exactly is the difference between the Shaido and the Dragonsworn that follow the Prophet, Seth has a new favorite pun, and neither of us understands the significance of the Broken Crown. We use Cyndane’s arrival and Cadsuane’s reception to get a handle on the geography of the Cleansing, and take a moment to lament our loss in the WoTIdol contest.

We are joined today by our very favorite Podcast of the Dragon, Morgan! She requested this chapter because we get some very interesting writing about the Seanchan social order, and she does not disappoint in finding non-sloggy insights in the conversations between Almurat and Karede and Ajimbura. Lots of fun tangents in the aftershow including new headcanon for Fain, comments on the Brandon Sanderson hitpiece, and anticipated Con attendance.

Mat gets his circus plot moving forward with pithy dad-advice for Olver, and the first of many visits to Tuon’s wagon. News of Tylin arrives from Ebou Dar and a summons to the Aes Sedai wagon reveals that something big is going on up north.

Seth does his best circus barker impression to start off a chapter that refuses to stay on the rails. Valan Luca’s headcanon background gets new chapters, Aludra gets a lot of love, we debate if RJ might have watched reality TV, and Aradia gets rudely awakened to an incorrect headcanon they’ve carried for years.

We’ve reached chapter 1 of Crossroads of Twilight, which means we can finally start on chapter 35 of Winter’s Heart! The wind of the opening paragraph sweeps down onto Mat and Noel, perusing the aftermath of their exit from Ebou Dar. Rand & Co exit Far Madding and return to the last save-point in their main plot.

Do you remember who Tumad is? How about Sashelle? Seth and Aradia disagree about the Ogier Rapture, but do end up agreeing on the utility of Samitsu’s POV. This is yet another recap section with just a sprinkle of plot to keep us going.

Lillijen (our regular episode artist) and JediPants (our fill-in artist) guest host as we talk about the dangers of dating Wheel of Time fans, the books plus the supplemental books plus the show, and how Seth and Aradia have handled The Slog so far.

Our last normal episode of Winter’s Heart! Cadsuane cleans up Nyneave’s mess and pulls Rand’s bacon off the fire, at the cost of Aleis’ political career. Aradia fails to comprehend the connection, despite Seth’s best attempt to compare it to real-world examples. Pre-show update about the earthquake in Turkey & Syria; post-show update on Seth’s move, and some other fun stuff.

Rand & Co have spent over a week failing to find anyone in Far Madding, while Seth and Aradia did find a pretty cool trivia question for the hardcore WoT fan. Lan dispenses advice to live by, Nyneave doesn’t fully think through her actions, Min and Verin both push Rand towards Cadsuane, and Fain brings Toram back for a final duel.

At long last, we get to leave Ebou Dar! In a very non-sloggy chapter! Seth crafts a new headcanon about why Mat had to break a vase, while Aradia wonders if golam can be distracted by laser pointers. We also debate who would win in a fight between Selucia and Noal, and giggle at how Mat and Tuon flirt with their fists.

Today’s episode is very short, as a run-up to next week’s significantly heftier chapter. Mat does his best Ocean’s Eleven impression for his final day in Ebou Dar, Seth finds more evidence for Vanindred, and Aradia is gleeful at seeing a bit of Snakes & Foxes foreshadowing with Olver.

During that time Aradia learns how an a’dam works (you’d think they know by now, but not so), Thom reveals some of the magic behind the curtain of rumor as a weapon, and our favorite Domon Ex Machina appears to fix Mat’s impossible situation! Aftershow includes an updated gameplan for CoT episodes.

Elayne, Birgitte, and Aviendha walk into a Boarderlander camp… This feels like the start of a joke, but without a rooster in the mix I’m not sure where to take it. Elayne basically lies to get what she wants, Birgitte scowls in peak warder fashion, and Avi gets called a “black-eyed Aiel” which confuses your hosts for a bit. Stay through to the aftershow for discussion about the 10 year anniversary (of AMoL’s release) revelations from Brandon Sanderson; we have Opinions to air.

We are well and truly slogging through the Heart of Winter, and hope you will stick with us through these less scintillating chapters. Elayne and Avi re-enact My Fair Lady as they flirt/fight, and RJ writes one of his only detailed food scenes as an illustration of why pregnancy advice is a mess to navigate.

Buckle up, we have a major name-salad set of chapters to get through today, as Cadsuane steers a ship of powerful yet petty women into Far Madding after Rand. You’ll notice some very rough edits, because even with visual aids and a geography degree, Aradiapedia managed to get some critical details very backwards. While untangling some Sea Folk/Aes Sedai interaction, we also discovered what we think is a missed entry for Origins!!!

On an island shaped like a Star Trek communicator, four different perspectives make up a chapter that has been referenced by the podcast for years because we get multiple long-standing mysteries explained in plain text. We also get more Origins puns, a couple of geology tangents, and catch Aradia in a rare moment of pure bullgoose woolheadedness.

What happens when a rogue Seanchan intelligence agent concludes the wrong thing about the events of book two, then follows his suspicions with no oversight all the way into book 9? You get Bethamin unwillingly thrust at Egeanin, which prompts Bayle Domon to team up with Mat’s escape party, that’s what! Also a super-duper hard trivia question, keep your ears peeled for that.

Mat is pulled by ta’veren twisting into a scheme to free three women (that he knows of, so far) when he flees Ebou Dar. We grimace over Bayle Domon’s quarter-beard, grin for a fun name detail from the new Origins book, and grandly declare our latest choice of song for WoTIdol 2023. A straightforward chapter and a lot of tangents mean that the aftershow is lengthy.

Mat has a “dear diary” chapter montaging what his life in Ebou Dar looks like after Tuon arrives. We revisit previous chapter topics like pink ribbons and bellfounders, find too many mirrors between Seanchan policy towards Altaran internal politics and IRL history, and craft wild headcanon about Seanchan Ogier. Stay for the aftershow to get an update on how we feel about the TV deep dive episodes that have been coming out.

The Seanchan Return has landed while Mat & Co were with Luca, and this makes the dice in Mat’s head downright obnoxious. Noel finally stops lurking at the edges of the plot and joins the party properly when Mat needs help in a dark alleyway. We learn sobering and interesting facts about several characters, in between getting very confused about who is who.

Beslen has finally decided that Tylin has gone too far, while Olver continues to go too far without any repercussions. We tangent hard in this episode, and discuss the teaser trailer released at NYCC in the aftershow.

We start today with thanking Patreons and discussing the updated WoT map, and from there we take a cinematic zoom down to a cabin in a ship in a fleet, in which the Daughter of the Nine Moons makes her first appearance on the page! This is the introduction of a trifecta of interesting characters (Tuon, Selucia, and Semirhage) as well as an onramp to Mat’s impending return from under the wall. Seth and Aradia disagree about the veracity of Seanchan omen-seeking, while enjoying the depth of Seanchan lore that is dropped in this short chapter.

Seth and Aradia return from their break, on the eve of SpoilerCon2022, to cover a chapter that lives in infamy both in-world and in the fandom. Layered through some truly beautiful writing are some things that make us raise our eyebrows, and we conclude that the only good explanation is that this chapter had to do a lot to get past the censors. It is such a wanna-be romance chapter that we even end up on a whole tangent about the romance genre! See links below.

Rand and Min arrive in Camelyn seeking Mat and Nyneave, the latter of whom is seeking escape from the various groups of channelers that have a claim on her time. We talk about Nyneave’s changing relationship to power, Min’s lifestyle choices, and Rand’s failure upward into god-status.

Elayne wakes up to Nyneave healing her the traditional way; with bed rest and scolding. After butting heads for a while, they enter the World of Dreams to meet with Egwene, and we get lots of juicy plot points AND dress descriptions. Who is the person that closes the door with a click??? Then we get two Darkfriend POVs! Aradia discovers they have a grudging respect for Mili Skane, while Seth exposes Mellar as both a Mat-parallel and the bearer of a certain poisoned dagger.

Elayne is settling into the business of running her nation, including the economic side of things. Do you know what “alum” is? We didn’t, and you can learn along with us about how critical this definitely-not-aluminum material is! After a morning of meetings, lunch and tea are served and then promptly interrupted by Dyelin with news from Braem Wood. Aradia is of the opinion that there are far too many random armies in Randland forests.

We really settle into Elayne’s succession plot in detail in our last double-header episode for the time being. The streets of Caemlyn are not sure about the Daughter-Heir’s claim, and her enemies are not intimidated by her apparent military strength. An attack on Aringill brings her back into the palace, where tangled plots by Sea Folk and Kin (and Aes Sedai) pull her in every direction at once. Mistress Harfor offers firm advice, Vandene is saddled with Kirstian and Zarya, and Nyneave sets Alivia free.

Our third and final double-header installment of the Perrin/Faile plotline for this book! Perrin wakes up from nearly being frozen and is promptly saddled with news and a corrosive rumor, all thanks to Berelain. Then he collects the grudging allegiance of Cha’Faile, gets a vague sense of the Aiel he is following, and watches as Maseama demonstrates how incredibly untrustworthy he is at every level.

In a second double-chapter serving of WOTS, Faile flails through freezing fantasies of foiled fortunes. Along with her two queenly companions, she meets Therava, Galina, and Sevanna, becoming enmeshed in three separate but related plots that ultimately go… somewhere? Neither Seth nor Aradia approve of how nudity, or the danger of frostbite, is used here.

The Podcast of Spoilers records, and episodes come and pass, leaving memories that become memes… that’s right, it’s chapter 1 of a new book! We begin the so-called “plotline of doom” with Perrin greeting every member of his party in a cinematic montage of walking and discussing the obvious dangers posed by traveling with Maseama. The next chapter shows a moment of profound tension in his army, but even while he is internally coming unglued Perrin is able to diffuse the situation because he is a decent leader (and also very tall).

We open today’s episode with a somber nod to the reality of Roe v Wade being overturned. After a number of tangents that merit being put at the end of the episode, we return to Elayne as she descends to the palace basement to undergo the First Sister ceremony. We both think the ceremony is cool, if a bit weird in spots. Toveine Gazal has her last bitter moment in the POV spotlight as the Black Tower grows and descends towards shadow.

Welcome to season nine of WoTSpoilers! We will be breaking the prologue into parts, because it is one of the longest in the series. On summer solstice we start Winter’s Heart, returning to just a few days before the end of Path of Daggers. First we check in with some Aes Sedai name-salad in the basement of the Tower, then shift to see how the Andoran nobility name-salad is responding to Elayne’s bid for the Lion Throne.

For our traditional book-wrap-up episode we have Morgan @PodcastOfTheDragon and EgweneFanboy aka Chad to talk with us about all that has happened, in the books and in our lives, during the period of time in which we were podcasting through Path of Daggers. Our timeline starts in October with SpoilerCon, spans the TV show and subsequent burnout, our return to finding joy in a fictional fog of war, and ranges over a variety of personal and real-world events.

Today we are finishing the last chapter(s) of Path of Daggers! Multiple POV switches have us set up for plotlines that take a full three books to resolve, from Perrin meeting the Prophet, to Egwene taking a single significant step through a gateway, to Faile meeting Rolan. We also consider how our choice of role models in the books have changed as we’ve grown older. New Patreons get their shoutouts.

Sometimes, in the fog of war, things move very very quickly. Explosively quickly. Min and Rand are struggling to manage expectations around Elayne and the captive Aes Sedai. Verin’s knowledge and manipulation from the beginning of the book is paying off, much as Rand’s plans with the Black Tower (or lack thereof) are reaping him the grim harvest of both betrayal and sealing Fedwin Morr’s fate.

We are joined today by a long-term fan of the podcast, Margeau Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah, to discuss a very dark chapter. Elayne is nearly home to Camlyn and the start of her ascension plot when a murder in the group proves there is a Darkfriend among them, while inside the city Daved Hanlon meets Lady Shianine giving Bors his final sendoff.

Today’s chapter feels like a drawn out epilogue to events a book or more in the making. Rand learns of the details of his Bargain with the Seafolk, the consequences of avoiding the Maidens for so long, and a footnote from the user’s manual of Callandor. Aradia admires Min, and Cadsuane cowers for no one.

We wander through the corridors of the White Tower and get lost in a maze of quaternary characters and their intersecting plots. Seaine and Saerin are in the same room, and this will probably be the last time we are able to keep them distinct. Pevara is a super cool character despite being a Red, while Tovaine is pretty much the opposite as she approaches the Black Tower in her full Red Ajah arrogance. Logain reappears and gives us ample fodder for discussions around consent, control, and comfort. Nobody is a fan of “the extra bit.”

While Egwene and Rand are managing their wars, Elaida remains in the White Tower and attempts to control events. If only she knew how much of her actions were not her own, as her council is approaching Darkfriend Social levels of infiltration. Alviarin makes the first of her two returns, breaking up Elaida's regathering power and subjecting her to punishments that are returned later in kind, via the Mistress of Novices. While examining minute details of these scenes Aradia and Seth repeatedly marvel at how perception works, both mentally and physically. It's all in your head!

We meet Furyk Karede and Aliva (briefly), create a romance between Anaiyella and Ailil with no real basis in canon, struggle to wrap our heads around how the terrain influences the military strategies of both sides, and marvel at the peak insanity that Rand is existing in.

We are joined today by Chad, an Egwene Fanboy who also loves the dismal arcs of Rand's campaign in Altara. We see the scene that Darrell K. Sweet depicted for the original cover art of Path of Daggers (learning a secret in the process!), dissect who paid Eagan Padros, and marvel at the Seanchan legacy as told through the eyes of Assid Bakuun.

Rand is surrounded by the fog of war, treachery, and inclement weather. Narishma retrieves Callandor. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show? So did we!

Egwene is making her move for power in the Hall! All the work that she and Suian have put in over the last several months is coming to fruition, and Gareth Bryne is all in. Our guest today is Morgan @PodOfTheDragon, who expertly schools us on the motivations of each of the Sitters in the rebel Hall. There is horse name salad to start, and a dressing down of the Romaine salad to finish.

The Amyrlin Seat is as weak and shaky as it will ever be, literally and figuratively. Egwene pauses the army, and deftly maneuvers through two rounds of Romanda and Lelaine trying to control her.

A real oatmeal-rasin cookie of a chapter! Rand interacts with several notable asha'man (and one meaningless servant) while juggling plans to deal with both the Seanchan and the taint on saidin. Seth focuses on Rand's inner turmoil, while Aradia provides a crash-course in how ocean waves work. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show? So did we!

WoTSpoilers returns to our regularly scheduled programming! We get back into the swing of podcasting by rejoining Rand as he attempts to manage the aftermath of ousting Sammael from Illian. This is the Rand we love most, relate to most, and think of when we try to describe him as a whole. Lordly name salad, difficult asha'man, and miserably wet weather all set the stage for us to parse the differences between LTT, Moridin, and the taint crushing Rand's soul.

A spontaneous first reaction to a theatrical screening of the first two episodes of the WoT TV show.
This is our last book-focused recording before the Amazon show drops! Remember to follow us over to YouTube to keep up with our opinions about the show for the rest of 2021, and meet us back in Path of Daggers in January 2022. Stay tuned to the front of the episode for Patreon thank-yous, and to the end of the episode for a little surprise! Graendal sets Rodel Ituralde in Crossroads of Twilight in motion, then meets with Cyndane and Moghedien, who summon Shadar Haran. The Dark One and Moridin are assembling their game pieces for the Last Battle, but Graendal will never stop scheming. Cadsuane manipulates the Aes Sedai in Cairhien, does some needlepoint, and makes an important alliance with Sorilea. Are you excited for the Wheel of Time show? So are we!

A very spicy chapter! Sevanna’s power is being tested to its limits as the Jumai Shaido take stock of being scattered into Ghealdan, and a power struggle with Therava takes them into Perrin’s path. Meanwhile, Galina is suffering greatly as she is broken down by Wise One cruelty, but that is nothing against her fear of Therava.

We are joined again by AmyLee, to continue discussing Perrin. The books are changing as the heroes change, and Aradia has their mind blown about Perrin’s hammer. Elyas reunites with Perrin and offers some strange (if effective) marital advice; the queen of Ghealdan arrives and Faile plots to make sure she won’t leave; the weather begins to change also.

Seth and Aradia get up early in order to talk with a guest from Denmark, who stays up very late to cover two well paired Perrin chapters. AmyLee has always empathized with Perrin and the tangles he navigates, and Perrin is surely enmeshed in many tangles in the different camps that he is trying to lead across Ghealdan. The name-salad tangle is also getting dense. Are you excited for the Wheel of Time show? So are we!

Neither Perrin or Faile really understands what is going on with the refugee group they picked up, while Morgase/Maighdin and Tallanvor strongly disapprove of Lord Perrin Goldeneyes. Lini and Basil Gill provide some comedy, cha’Faile starts to be a useful tool, and the weather is beginning to respond to the Bowl of the Winds. Are you excited for the Wheel of Time show? So are we!

Perrin considers the merits of sending Faile or Berelain to collect the queen of Ghealdan, and then just happens to cross paths with Morgase & Co as they fight with some of the Prophet’s zealots. This is the beginning of Perrin quilting together an unlikely army with more than its fair share of queens. Are you excited for the Wheel of Time show? So are we!

Today we are joined by Cayla, who won the SpoilerCon silent auction item of a guest slot on the podcast!

The party arrives at the Kin’s Farm, causing chaos because they have a darkfriend in their midst. Ispan is taken into the care of Adeleas and Vandine, sealing their doom. After much bickering, and more angreal sorting, the party heads uphill to use the Bowl of the Winds. Using the Bowl of the Winds is epic, amazing, and visually stunning! Did you miss Spoilercon 2021?

A wind rises, and we begin to walk the Path of Recap with a protracted exodus from Ebou Dar by Elayne, Aviendha, Nyneave, and company. We get a rare section from Aviendha’s POV, but all she’s seeing is the Sea Folk, Aes Sedai, and Kin not getting along. Shifting to Elayne, we consider the minutia of Sea Folk appearance and power, and begin to examine the cache of angreal acquired along with the Bowl of the Winds. Avi calmly unweaves her gateway, and the Aes Sedai respond by becoming extremely agitated. Moridin and the gholam have different responses to the flight of the channelers.

We return to our normal studio recording environment to finish up the prologue of this book. We are PODcasters now. We get a rare peek inside Verin’s POV as she weaves imperfect compulsion on the Aes Sedai prisoners in the Aiel camp, then shift to an equally intriguing POV from Moridin at a chessboard. Sure enough, Aradia was right that the 13th Depository website has a blog post precisely about the connections between Rand and the Fisher King and the game’s Moridin is playing: http://13depository.blogspot.com/2002/03/sharah-fisher-king-and-their-equivalents.html Did you miss Spoilercon 2021?

We are joined today by Jason Denzel of Dragonmount again, because we talked for so long that the chapter had to be split into two parts. Illian gets a terrifying lightshow to accompany the thunder of an invading army pouring through giant gateways. The Saldaeans take the city without much fanfare, while Rand and Sammael get into a duel that wrecks the king’s and council’s palaces before taking their fight to Shadar Logoth instead. Trollocs and Myrddraal are sneaking about fearfully, Liah reappears briefly, and Rand falls through a floor. Before he can die an inglorious death in a lost basement, a mysterious wanderer (aka Moridin) arrives to save him, and they end up crossing balefire streams when Mashadar shows up. Rand makes a final attempt to kill Sammael but has to kill Liah instead, letting Mashadar take out Sammael in a way that we find generally unsatisfying. Rand returns to Illian and is presented with the Laurel Crown/Crown of Swords.

We are joined today by Jason Denzel of Dragonmount, an early supporter of the podcast that helped put us on the map! We talk for so long that the chapter has to be split into two parts. Rand wakes up from his post-dagger healing coma when news that his war against Sammael is engaged barges into his sick room, much to the dismay of his concerned allies. Min helps him sneak away from the Maidens (which will come back to bite both of them later) and get to Bashere, who is surprised at how early the word to march has arrived but in typical Great General fashion is prepared to move his forces at the drop of a hat. Illian gets a terrifying lightshow to accompany the thunder of an invading army pouring through giant gateways.

We are joined today by a longtime friend of the podcast, Canadian-Kelsey, to watch Mat have one last huzzah before disappearing under a collapsing wall for the next book, much to Seth’s dismay. Mat “bargains” with the Sea Folk on behalf of Nynaeve and Elayne, and gives us a treasure trove of information about the gholam. Olver innocently delays Mat’s departure from Ebou Dar with the party of channelers, so that he is forced to witness and be involved in the Seanchan (re)invasion of the continent.

Seth and Brett from The Wheel Weaves tackle this chapter without Aradia, because schedule conflicts induced by JordanCon ripples. Rand faces off against Toram Riatin in a duel, which is going well until Padan Fain invokes an evil fog and slashes Rand across the side, giving him the second of his two wounds as well as an idea for how to cleanse saidin. Cadsuane quickly rallies a party to get the wounded Dragon Reborn to the healing safety of the Sun Palace, though it takes an asha’man to actually perform the lifesaving weaves.

We are joined again by Call Me Nakomi! We discuss the nature of ta’veren, and what is evil, very extensively. Rand and Min sneak away from the Maidens and into a big mess, wrapped in a silk tent.

Seth is at Jordancon, Aradia is not, and we are going to swing a quick recording! New podcast art is unveiled! Many Aes Sedai that never show up again, show up here. Darkfriends and chaos ensue as Elaida receives news of Dumai’s Wells and the impending disaster at the Black Tower. Alviarin gets the upper hand, and Seaine is sent on a not-so-wild goose chase.

Aradia is joined today by prior guests on the podcast, Talyre from the WOTS community and artist Ariel Burgess, to discuss a very highly valued scene that changes multiple worlds in the span of a short afternoon. Nyneave is being rowed out to the Sea Folk for a meeting, when waves of balefire push her very close to death at the bottom of the river. Her block dissolves shortly before Lan arrives, and they communicate “like adults” about their future. Meanwhile, Elayne brings the Kin and the Aes Sedai into significantly greater contact.

Trigger warning for a long discussion about sexual assault, because this is THAT CHAPTER where Tylin imposes on Mat to the utmost extreme. Today Seth is absent from the recording, and Aradia brings in Gus from Wheel Takes to discuss this infamous scene that generates some of the most hotly contested content in the entire Wheel of Time series. We are not discussing “if” Mat was assaulted, but rather examining how Robert Jordan created a nuanced analysis of sexual assault. After Mat is free to go, he meets up with Nalesean, Birgitte, Beslan and some of his friends, and they go walking through the Festival of Birds, which sounds a bit like Mardi Gras? They are attacked by Darkfriend beggars, then make it to their watching spot for spying on the Kin’s base of operations. Mat can’t take his mind off of events, and is horrified that Beslean not only knows but approves of Tylin’s interest in him. To escape the situation, he randomly follows a Kinswoman, setting in motion the discovery of the Bowl of the Winds, at long last. Reddit thread reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/WoT/comments/oejk3d/analysis_we_are_meant_to_be_sickened_by_tylin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Wheel Takes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/wheel-takes-gus-and-ali-6ar2PStf43n/ SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th 2021!

With Maureen from Dragonmount! She’s been on the pod before, a loooong time ago. Mat moves into the Tarisin Palace. He is frustrated by Nyneave and Elayne, cornered by Tylin, and unappreciative of lemonade. He is fighting adulting as hard as any of us. Silk sheets aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, and more dice don’t make his day any easier. CW for sexual assault and many long discussions about the nature of consent.

Aradia and Seth are alone on this chapter, fittingly. They are both surviving the heat dome crushing the Pacific Northwest, much as our characters are surviving the touch of the Dark One on the weather. Perrin leaves Rand to fetch the Prophet, a quick trip that definitely won’t define his story for the next several books. He also takes a few minor characters with him, like Berelain, some of our favorite Aiel, and cha’Faile. Loial departs with Karldin, and we never quite see him again. (Also, who is this Karldin and why should we trust him with Loial?) SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th 2021!

We are joined today by Rob from Malkier Talks! https://www.youtube.com/c/malkiertalks Morgase is in a very dark place, and her companions are as trapped as her. They are liberated by a fiery turn of events as the Seanchan attack Amadecia out of nowhere. Suroth parades the former Panarch of Tarabon and a damane who was once Aes Sedai in front of Morgaise to make her power clear. Swapping Suroth for Valda isn’t a great upgrade, but it does give Balwer an opportunity that Morgaise will take full advantage of.

We contemplate the impossibility of Shayol Ghul being everywhere and nowhere, and shudder over the implications of where Moridin’s body comes from? Was the original man a drakhar kill?

Seth and LezbiNerdy continue on without Aradia for another chapter, in which Nynaeve and Elayne suffer indignity after indignity at the hands of Satelle Anan, on behalf of Mat and their quest for the Bowl of the Winds.

Seth welcomes LezbiNerdy to the podcast, without Aradia because schedules are challenging sometimes. Mat nearly gets kidnapped, is snapped at by Caira, and has the first of many long and unique conversations with Birgitte. Nyneave and Elayne get upset over this turn of events, but they haven’t begun to realize how challenging (or useful) respecting Mat can be.

With Matt from Dusty Wheel! We discuss how Sevanna is an Aeil Karen, and we want to know more about all the ter’angreal that RJ never expounded on. Sevanna calls Sammael and Graendal to discuss the aftermath of Dumai’s Wells, which annoys both of them tremendously. Sammel is mostly very stupid about these interactions. Moridin makes a sneaky appearance and allows chaos to develop. This is the first mention of the watcher, the True Power, and the saa.

We are joined today by Collin from Randland TV Podcast! Cadsuane interviews Aes Sedai, and Seth schools us on several interesting facts about her from RJ’s notes. We ship Annoura and Berelain. Aes Sedai name salad ensues, and we tangent onto discussing the differences between Jordan’s and Sanderson’s writing. Cadsuane doesn’t approve of any of the Aes Sedai’s activities, and the Aes Sedai don’t approve of her mysterious motivations. Min runs to Rand for comfort.

We are joined again today by Morgan, Podcast of the Dragon, who recently made an appearance on the Way Of The Leaf YouTube show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtFhJltHENk). This chapter contains several points of view, and a near kidnapping. Ispan and Falion fail to get the information they want, and Teslyn masterfully manages Joline. Is Mat sleeping with Caira, or not? Your hosts are undecided. Nerim wields a cast iron pan and gets much love for it. Is Ebou Dar like New Orleans, and can we please go there? What is Noel doing here?

Seth and Aradia go guest-less for an episode, but there is no lack of names to remember as Mat makes a foray into the Tarisin Palace in search of Nyneave and Elayne. There is a parade of palace servants, a fateful encounter with a quartet of Aes Sedai, and the first of many uncomfortable contacts with Tylin Quintara Mitsobar.

We are joined today by Gus from Wheel Takes to observe Jaichim Carridin being stuck between a rock and a hard place in Ebou Dar. He is trying to control Mili Skane, appease Shadar Haran, and obey Sammael, when a web of Compulsion laid in Book 2 snaps into effect after a glance out the window shows him Mat in the street below. We enjoy Aradia getting corrected right at the start of the episode, marvel at the excellent POV writing from RJ, wonder if the timing here is just a coincidence or Mat’s fault, question Leah’s reasons for getting lost in Shadar Logoth, and chuckle at how little Darkfriends understand the world they live in.

We are joined today by Alan from The Wheel Reads, a first-time/veteren podcast. Mat watches Olver horse racing as he worries over the supergirls ignoring him, and is distracted by a plume of white feathers on the head of a woman who once tried to kill him. He also meets Noel (for the first time). We discuss the comfort of wool, horse racing culture and betting philosophies, the mysterious 90s S, and the Virginia flag. Also we decide that Noel is Batman.

Morgan from Podcast of the Dragon joins Seth and Aradia on a boat ride from Ebou Dar that gives us one of our best views inside the head of an Aiel, as well as one of our clearest views of how the Sea Folk operate. We also focus on cleavage, isolation experiments, cultural miscommunications between land and sea, and the history of how the Bowl of the Winds ended up in such a fortuitous location.

We are joined today by Jaymie from Dragonmount.com to celebrate the return of Lan! We also have a lot of discomfort with Myrelle’s behavior to Lan, which leads us to contemplate the differences between being stilled vs being a lost warder, and to wonder how much touch factors into bonding.

Pairs upon pairs of characters feature in this episode, making it a fitting chapter for Seth and Aradia to take a break from having special guests. The timeline of the story is starting to compress and distort towards “the slog” here, as the Salidar Aes Sedai approach Tar Valon and the summer grinds on. We see parallels between Aes Sedai pride and Aiel ji’e’toh, both of which serve Egwene very well.

We are joined today by Jay from Randland TV Podcast for a very dreamy episode. We giggle over what an Aiel would say to the suggestion of bathing in ewe’s milk, contemplate the timing of Moghedien’s escape with respect to other events, admire the sci-fi abstractions of the starry space between dreams, and tangent on bagels. We also wonder if we perhaps found a plot hole!?!?!?!

The guest on this episode is none other than Ariel Burgess, the official artist of the series! We talk a lot about her favorite art pieces, our favorite of her art pieces, the lighting considerations of gateways, JordanCon, and the impact of the series on not only our lives but also our careers. Support her on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arielburgess We critique Aes Sedai political strategies, debate the genetic component of channeling ability, and attempt to wrap our heads around applying Einstein’s “bridge” to gateway mechanics. Egwene is remarkably blase about her safety here, her grip on power is as shaky as her chair, and Nicola and Arenia are a tragic waste of potential.

We are joined by Brett of The Wheel Weaves yet again, spotting dangers around every corner, and chiding Seth and Aradia for ignorance about The Lonely Island. As Egwene discusses managing the army with Sheriam and Suian, your hosts continue to suspect Chesa of being a darkfriend (or worse) and criticise Sheriam for being lazy in her secret duties. The a’dam bracelet gives Aradia as much grief as it does Marigan, if for different reasons.

Today we are joined by Nae’Blis from YouTube, and we dispense lots of love for Rand and RJ’s writing of Rand. We take many tangents into anticipating the show’s production, and come to the sobering conclusion that there are no clear paths in leadership, or in life.

Aradia interprets the language of fans, has no idea where the phrase “the pot calling the kettle black” comes from, and is swayed by Seth’s conspiracy theory that Colavere didn’t actually hang herself. We also ask the most important question in the books: can Verin do the sa’sara? SpoilerCon Newsletter dropped on the night of April 14th, check your inboxes!

Recappa Sedai returns for part two-of-three of getting Perrin back to Cairhien and Faile.

We are joined by Brian, who plays Recappa Sedai on YouTube, to help us flesh out content over the next few chapters in which Perrin slowly and anxiously returns to Cairhien in the aftermath of Dumai’s Wells. But first, we have to tackle the physics of gateways, with a little help from Carl Sagan. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnURElCzGc0) Our exasperation with Perrin is counterbalanced by our love for the Wise Ones. Warder-bonding innovations are the equivalents of sushi-burritos. Aram and Loial are the Devil/Angel on Perrin’s shoulders, though Seth enjoys reading Loial far, far more. SpoilerCon announcement: the first newsletter is published!

Brett from The Wheel Weaves podcast comes back to help us spot even more Aes Sedai hypocrisy in the aftermath of Dumai’s Wells, discover that there is a fantasy trope about throwing items into volcanoes, and question Loial’s journalistic tact.

Thom (of Dragonmount, JordanCon, TarValon.net, & WoT community show) returns to help us read in the wind as it sweeps over Dumai’s Wells. We imagine what the lost nation of Coremande was like from only three textual references, give RJ the benefit of the doubt on writing toxic masculinity, and wish that Loial could sit Perrin and Aram both down for a good long talk about trauma and empathy.

With Thom of Dragonmount, JordanCon, TarValon.net, WoT community show, and an awesome Perrin cosplay. First, we go on a prologue tangent about prologue writing, to start a trend of massive tangents all about life, the universe, and most things. We ponder a new possible reason for Fel’s demise, Seth struggles with names, Aradia struggles to explain a meme, and Thom admires slime molds. Evil will always turn on itself, Mesaana is using an Instagram filter, and Jarna Malari made a big impression with her public death.

Aradia takes their usual position driving a tangent-filled episode between WoT books. We tried using video for the first time for this episode, which was fun but also precluded our usual editing process, so this time you get to enjoy a raw and uncut discussion about the highs and lows of Lord of Chaos, through the eyes of five content creators.

Seth and Aradia are joined by Szeth, first-time guest and winner of the SpoilerCon2019 silent auction for the guest spot on this recording! A record-shattering 47 guests tuned in live to listen to this highly anticipated chapter, in which we discuss the actual duration and agony of Rand’s time in the box, are staggered by the scale of death in fantasy and real life, contemplate the many ways in which the Aiel have responded to their world being turned upside down, and debate the morality of the battle’s conclusion.

Brett from Wheel Weaves rejoins us for 10 days of Perrin gathering an army on the way to Dumai’s Wells. Warfare is changing across the series, even as Perrin keeps the national groupings of his army more separate than the other two ta’veren. Seth reads a chilling passage of wolf conversation. Other important topics covered include Ogier ears, human navels, apologizing Danil’s brother Tell, wondering if Verin tipped off Taim, and celebrating Aradia’s 3rd anniversary of their first appearance on the podcast! Go back to EP75 for a blast of nostalgia, when Seth and Patrick were first figuring out how to pronounce “Aradia” and all the mics were of lower quality: https://wotspoilers.com/wheel-of-time-spoilers-75-tgh-the-testing Brett from The Wheel Weaves can be found at https://thewheelweavespodcast.libsyn.com Join the conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/YtWvCnS Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers Email us: wotspoilers@gmail.com Twitter: @wotspoilers Instagram: @wot_spoilers Facebook: @WOTSpoilers
Introducing long-time Discord friend of the podcast, OBThunder aka Ken, who is apparently also Perrin! We compare the pain of losing RJ to the Bleakness, and The Feast of Lights to Mardi Grai in the 80s. Aradia and Ken both have the same problem with keeping Dashiva and Narishma apart, but agree that Rand retires to become another Herid Fel. Sevanna initiates a false flag operation, making Dumai’s Wells inevitable in only two more chapters.

Many, many, many, weaves of the Power are present in this chapter. Megan provides hilarious commentary on (and in) Texan accents. Mat and Olver bet on horses, the Aes Sedai wear the wrong clothes to go on a day trip to the slums, and a red-belted woman makes a brief appearance. Egwene starts to flex her strategic abilities even as she struggles with self-doubt. Lan arrives at Myrelle, despite going on a bear hunt to get there.

Longtime friend of the podcast Abigail joins us to talk about a chapter that has deep and disturbing significance for both her and Rand. We ponder if Demandred was ever actually interested in Illenya, how much the Tower embassy was set up to fail from the start, and what must be going on in the minds of Bain and Chiad. We also discuss mental illness, trauma, the complicated definitions of “recovery,” and go through an intensive empathy session with respect to The Box.

Bambi comes back and stands in for a missing Aradia. We untangle the convoluted timeline between Perrin and Rand, consider Min’s position with the Wise Ones, and debate viewings associated with them. Rand visits the school in Cairhien for his last meeting with Fel, who is then inspired to write the infamous bookmark. Tensions between Perrin, Faile, and Berelain lead to the beginning of Min’s self-education.

Part 1: Aradia and Morgan sympathize with the anxiety of Perrin meeting his in-laws, and Seth joins in to discuss relationships with age gaps. We also imagine Fourth Age nations and their potential. Faile doesn’t want to be Queen of Saldaea. Part 2: Morgan and Seth wrapping up the chapter the next day. Demira has an encounter with far-reaching consequences, and even Verin can occasionally be surprised by circumstances.

@enarra returns to discuss how Nyneave and Elayne confess (some of) their secrets to Egwene, who in return tells them (some of) the ways in which she is going to change the world.

Aradia executes a coup with new guest Megan for discussion of this chapter, in which Egwene meets the Salidar Six plus Suian, and goes through a profoundly important ritual that just happens to include (what some might consider) an excessive focus on Aes Sedai being topless.

Alex London reads us into a very intense “peak Jordan” chapter, full of meaning for us and the characters alike. Egwene prepares to leave her life as an Aiel, but not without meeting her toh to the Wise Ones first. Olver forces Mat to play yet another game of Snakes and Foxes, until Rand drops by to casually completely redirect everything.

Aradia has things to say to you before we get started. Eamon Valda arrives in Amador, and has an important conversation with Asunawa. Pedron Nial juggles plots, much to Balwer’s consternation. Morgaise has a bad day, though arguably not as bad as Paitr. Aradia and Seth hotly debate who knew what when, and who is allied to who. Do they manage to convince the other of anything? LAFO.

Wheel of Time Spoilers 312 – LoC – Ch 28 – Letters New episode is live at https://wotspoilers.com! Another chapter with Bambi! This time we are discussing the nature of Rand vs LTT, how the world is expanding by adding names to obscure characters, Herid Fel’s outsize impact on the plot, Rand’s attempts to brush off the Jendai Prophecies as well as a Grey Man, and Sulin’s toh.

All the way from the Land of Madmen, we are lucky enough to get another guest appearance of our very own Egwene, aka Bambi the Captain-General of the Discord Green Ajah! Seth also takes time at the beginning of the episode to read off new Patreon names, and extends a massive “thank-you” to all the podcast supporters that are making the podcasting dream happen, and sticking with us despite the bumpy road we’ve all been on. Thanks to all the Patrons who have support Wot Spoilers for the last few months. You are keeping Seth in his Apartment! Gawyn leans into being a White Knight. What would have broken if Egwene hadn’t heeded her warning dreams? Rand plays a dangerous game with the Aes Sedai, and compares notes with Egwene on possible ways to make gateways. Nesune Bihara has a very Brown Ajah approach to the problem of Rand al’Thor.

Seth invites Joe from the Talk'aran'rhiod showcast back to talk about their journeys finding WoT fans over the years, their feelings around book spoilers vs show speculation, and the nuances between LTT vs Rand al’Thor. Alanna’s emotions are bouncing around as wildly as Rand’s geographic position. A Whitecloak assassination attempt adds to The List, and asks us to consider what effect balefire would have on a corpse. Rand repeatedly fails to appreciate how many people need to be involved in his struggle to save the world. Elenia Sarand gives an important history and genealogy lesson.

She comes! She comes! The M’Hael of SpoilerCon, partner to Ogier, our very own Talyre herself! (Have you forgotten the Black Ajah?) Talyre joins Seth to discuss the importance of this chapter to both her teenage-self, and to her present self. Egwene has come far from the girl who left the Two Rivers, taking agency to explore Aiel culture as well as displaying attributes of all the Ajahs. Heaps and heaps of love for our strong-willed female characters! And heaps of head-shaking at Gawyn.

Jackson returns to ask tough questions such as “is a bittern actually a cittern, an RJ invention, or just a typo?” Egwene is really feeling herself as an Aiel in general, and as an apprentice Wise One in particular. Elida’s embassy arrives, full of confidence that they will bring Rand back one way or another. This means Gawyn is also back, creeping closer and closer to reuniting with Egwene. The Wise Ones are not sure if Egwene’s health is fully recovered, so she gets a full-on wellness check that would wipe most of us out. Another year, and she’ll be as badass as a Maiden!

Seth welcomes new guest Jackson to discuss a chapter from the book that was the latest to be published when they both found the series, and they happily rehash Who Killed Asmodean. What message is being sent between Sammael and Graendal? Do either of them even know? Seth sure doesn’t! Sammael is a puzzling enigma with a plethora of goodies from a stasis box. Graendal sends messages with her mood-ring of a dress and admires Age of Legends art. For reference, here is the list for “100 ways to kill a gholam” which is actually only 50 items long: http://steelypips.org/wotfaq/1_dark/1.6_beasties/1.6.2_gholam.html WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Heading south... to Tear, and to hell in a handbasket. RJ uses even the colors of pebbles to foreshadow this epic fantasy, and still manages to keep some of the Aes Sedai plots murky! Mat gets some fan-love and the family of the Band of the Red Hand coalesces as Chel Vanin is introduced, Talmanes is revealed in a new light, and Olver reinserts himself into the story. Seth makes a compelling argument to explain a bloody mystery that has always stumped Aradia. Gateway mechanics and Roman military considerations get examined yet again.

Pre-Con jitters lead to significant tangents in this one. Fortunately, we have rambling Ogier to overshadow us and give us tantalizing exposition via history lessons of the larger world. Rand respects Ogier more than any human culture, but also doesn’t mind rushing them into decisions that they might refuse if given time to consider. It takes a village, or in this case a podcast community, to understand Rand al’Thor. RJ thinks you should stand up for yourself, once you have formed a strong opinion on your own.

Seth can’t keep the names straight, but Aradia is here to keep him on track. Rand is hangry, LTT is having nightmares, and we debate how different Tigrane and Elayne really are. There are many noble non-entities, few notable Aiel personalities, and many candidates for The One Who Is No Longer.

Seth and Travis welcome first-time guest Alex R. London to discuss the boxiness of Cairhien, the boxes Rand is already in, the boxes he will be in, and why he wishes he could be alone in his own head for a minute. While this episode was recorded, the Pacific-Northwesters can also taste wildfire smoke in addition to the quarantine-enforced solitude. Rand visits his prototype graduate school/research university, where discussing familiar technology through new eyes is almost as fun as imagining how cuendillar could be applied to our engineering problems. Herid Fel makes an impression, a romance in the background is given a head-canon ending for the Fourth Age, and Egwene inspires many tangents. Alex is an author (The Armean Journals), a Texan, a WoT fan in a family of WoT readers, and a member of the WoTS Discord. You too can join the conversations that make the podcast there!

The Wheel of Time and the wheel of a man’s life turn alike without pity or mercy. It would be easier to have a mad voice in your head if it made sense, wouldn’t it? The nihilism gets pretty strong. What is the difference between a diadem and a tiara? More information about Sharra leads to more speculation about Forsaken plots, and alternative plotlines that RJ might have written. Mangin breaks all of our hearts. Seth totally forgets that Havien Nurelle is a critical background character throughout the rest of the series, much to Aradia’s disdain, but then Seth gets his own back when Aradia forgets that Toram Riatin shows up later in Far Madding. The Cairhien young people admire the Aiel, and inspire a discussion about cultural exchanges. Rand suffers tremendously in this chapter, and in all of his chapters in this book, creating the behaviors that set up the harrowing chapter of Dumai’s Wells. Aftershow discusses the experience of the heavy smoke and fires in the Pacific Northwest. Aradia recommends you look at www.earth.nullschool.net for geo-visualizations of atmospheric data, and Seth recommends you listen to Michael Kramer and Kate Reading narrate The Stormlight Archive.

The episode starts with puns, be warned. Piles of hints dig into our brains, while Egwene ignores most of what is going on in hers. The Pattern is headdesking so much with all of these prophecy dreams that our characters don’t take seriously. Aradia annotates the book, but has no idea where any of the WoT rivers are. We awkwardly discuss the mechanics of dream romance and the importance of Gawyn as a plot device that deserves more than just our hate. Egwene has the same oddly dual prophetic dream as Min, causing us to contemplate the many branching paths made possible in that moment. Lots of other clues are scattered throughout her dreams, even the paranoid ones. Egwene suffers from headaches for almost as much of this series as Rand suffers from his various burns and stab wounds. Chronic pain is an under-appreciated drag on our characters, and by extension in our society. Leanne’s method of managing her network of spies leads us to a discussion about toxic masculinity and the value of touch to someone who might go for years without a hug. Elayne, Nyneave, and Suian are all grouchy in the aftermath of a bubble of evil. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Seth is joined by a new guest, SuperSkyLake from the Discord server! They nerd out on audio production in addition to the vagueness of prophecies. Egwene explores the space between dreams, considers who all is sneaking around in Tel’aran’rhiod with her, and has a fateful encounter with Gawyn that raises questions (and eyebrows). Salidar wakes up to a bubble of evil, so we explore some of the mechanics of linking, and Nicola leads us to speculate on what the Fourth Age might look like. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Blood and bloody buttered onions, SpoilerCon is really soon! Check out the schedule at www.spoilercon.org/schedule. This episode was published on the 13th anniversary of Robert Jordan’s death, and we appreciate that he wrote never-ending fractals of details into his world-building. That’s part of why we keep coming back for more and more rereads! Theodrin and Nyneave have fun with a bucket of water. Your hosts conclude that chronic stress is bad for you, whether it is the anger that Nyneave cultivates to channel or living under the smoke choking the Pacific Northwest. Elayne really wants to unite the Aes Sedai behind Rand, and constructs what would be a brilliant plan to achieve that end, if only she had more complete information to work with. Creative uses of the World of Dreams lead to several tantalizing plot opportunities in Tar Valon and Ebu Dar. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Seth and Travis wait anxiously with Nyneave and Elayne in Salidar, as the little Hall stalls for time with the Tower emissary, as they wait for “the biddable child” to arrive. Travis points out that if you cut a hole in a net, you have fewer holes in the net. Thanks, we hate it. The Spider crawls inside Nyneave’s head and disturbs her equilibrium. Even if she is a captured coward, she is still a clever and crafty Forsaken. Nyneave berates herself for being afraid while taking stupidly brave actions, like the lovable hypocrite she is. Nyneave and Elayne’s experience with authority in Salidar is like moving back in with your parents after being in college. They know what they need to do, and the Aes Sedai have some serious soul-searching to do with respect to how they feel about the Dragon Reborn before they will earn the Super-girls’ respect.

Seth and Aradia watch as Verin and Alanna deal with the fallout of Alanna’s impulsive non-consensual bonding, and contemplate if the tradeoffs that she forced on Rand justify her actions. We get a rare and information-rich Verin POV, including a rare instance of Verin being wrong about something! Aradia grumbles about the trope of people fainting from fear, and Seth gets schooled by a Discordian on the actual effects of wearing corsets. The mechanics of ta’veren sperm are discussed at length, and we decide that the word “ward” is used far too freely in this series. Rand visits the farm that will one day become the Black Tower, and observes the first classes being held with some of the most important future asha’man of the series. We admire Taim’s long-term plans getting underway, and give thanks that Logain also has a long story to tell. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Seth and Travis discuss an infamous, dark, and complicated moment in Rand’s journey, when Alanna becomes much more than just another Aes Sedai. The chapter accelerates really quickly, and by the end you see hints of Darth Rand coming through. Content warning for discussions of assault. Death is lighter than a feather, duty is heavier than a mountain – and Rand feels that he is being beaten to death with feathers. He is a far more reluctant adventurer than any hobbit ever was! He is in Camlyn trying to figure out how to run a palace and also prepare the world for the Last Battle, setting the seeds for the fateful trip to Shadar Logoth in A Crown of Swords. Worried at the arrival of two Aes Sedai, he walks into an inn to the surprise of a gaggle of girls from back home, and then is bonded by Alanna in one of the most serious violations of consent in the entire series. How much did Verin influence Alanna’s actions in this moment? How much does the warder bond protect and benefit Rand for the rest of the series? How differently could this situation have been, if a different woman had bonded him first and with his consent? What does this conversation have to do with the very real issue of male sexual assault? Seth and Travis take their best shots at these questions, but the discussion is never truly over. Registration for SpoilerCon2020 is open!

WoTSpoilers returns to regular content! It is not the beginning, but it is A beginning. Seth unveils the new co-host plan, re-introduces Aradia, teases SpoilerCon, and tackles his first read-in. Robert Jordan was a master of anticipation and red herrings, particularly in this book. In Amador, Abdel Omerna gets his news from the Randland equivalent of Facebook memes, while Sebban Balwer knows better, and Pedron Niall makes fateful choices. Off-screen, Mattin Stepaneos has an important moment that will bedevil international politics for several books, and the Borderlands are ignited by Hurin finally arriving with news of Rand doing his thing over Falme. Morgase makes plans upon plans, and has a moment that reminds us of her younger son. Seth and Aradia discuss the eerie parallels between Fain’s corrupting paranoia and the mentality that leads to climate change denial, the many flavors of “evil” that don’t come from the Dark One, the complex relationship between Niall and Morgase, and the process of changing our mental images of the characters to match the actors’ faces.

Seth and Jenn of the White Tower Podcast sit down to talk about a the best fantasy series of the 80's: Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends. Wheel of Time content will return Sept 1st!
Excitement about the WoT TV show has led to massive growth in the fandom and listenership, to the delight of all of us who have been enjoying the series alone for years. Who would watch The Odd Couple remade with Birgitte and Moghedien? Is growing flowers with the Power is a waste of energy? In how many ways is the royal house of Andor needed for the Last Battle, and how many times does Elida misinterpret her own foretellings? What exactly is a silverpike? This chapter really shows us the challenges of long-distance communication bottlenecks; even as the Salidar Aes Sedai learn how to use the Unseen World to communicate they still don’t think in terms of email. It also offers up so many juicy details that we really think the term “the Slog” needs to be reclaimed as a point of celebration rather than a drag. The Salidar Six behave like foolish children in the face of a monstrous nightmare, but fortunately Elayne and Suian are there to rescue them. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

It’s a Forsaken Festival! Three separate Forsaken POVs give us an unprecedented view into their plots. Sammael meets with Graendal and argue about politics and the nature of reality amidst the depths of depravity. Classy. This is the chapter in which we learn the overwhelming majority of what we know about Shara! We also learn more about Graendal’s history before turning to the Shadow. Her newest additions to her collection of pretties are causing chaos in Arad Domon, all the better of a smokescreen to hide herself in at Natron’s Barrow. She tells him exactly what she’s doing, and where Demandred is, but Sammael only thinks with his sword and doesn’t believe her. Semirhage tortures Cabriana Mecandes for information to pass along to the newly reborn Arangar. She also ponders Shaidar Haran, and so do we. This is a chapter which has in particular been referenced many times by this podcast (and the rest of the fandom) for its infodump about Fades in general and The Hand Of The Dark in particular.

Mat's Band of the Red Hand is becoming more sophisticated in it's organization. We learn about Redarms, and how Mat enforces discipline on his army. After he hears some shouting outside, Mat discovers a Hunter for the Horn “Shaking a little boy like a dog with a rat” after apparently finding the boy sitting on his horse. Whether or not the boy was trying to steal the horse we're not sure but, that certainly has no bearing on Mat quickly taking a liking to 'the ugliest boy he'd ever seen'.

An irascible old farmer named Hu discovered one morning that his best rooster had flown into a tall tree beside his farm pond and wouldn't come down, so he went to his neighbor, Wil, and asked for help. The men had never gotten along, but Wil finally agreed, so the two men went to the pond and began climbing the tree, Hu first. They meant to frighten the rooster out, you see, but the bird only kept flying higher, branch by branch. Then, just as Hu and the rooster reached almost the very top of the tree, with Wil right behind, there was a loud crack, the branch under Hu's feet broke away, and down he went into the pond, splashing water and mud everywhere. Wil scrambled down as fast as he could and reached out to Hu from the bank, but Hu just lay there on his back, sinking deeper into the mud until only his nose stuck out of the water. Another farmer had seen what happened, and he came running and pulled Hu out of the pond. 'Why didn't you take Wil's hand?' he asked Hu. 'You could have drowned.' 'Why should I take his hand now?' Hu grumped. 'I passed him just a moment ago in broad daylight, and he never spoke a word to me.”

Rand weaves a gateway to his “Farm” which we learn is where he's been depositing the male volunteers to be tested for any ability to channel.

Rand announces his amnesty for male channelers, and welcomes Mazrim Taim to his 'Court'. Taim purposely pushes Davram Bashere's buttons, nearly starting a physical confrontation between the two as Rand struggles to suppress the voices in his head.

Wheel of Time Spoilers 264 – TFoH Ch43 - This Place, This day Rand finds himself wondering whether he could have done something different, anything at all, to have steered his path away from this place, this day. The Chiefs have agreed on their plan, Rand's armies are in order, ready to march on the Shaido position outside Cairhien in a moment's notice. Egwene and Aviendha convince him to join them in the grim task he has set them on, slaughtering as many Shaido warriors with the One Power before they entangle themselves with Rand's Aiel. Mat attempts to escape Rand, the battle, and his destiny by sneaking off as the battle begins. As he crests a particularly tall hill he spies a group of Tairen and Cairhienin soldiers marching straight into a Shaido ambush. He rushes down to warn them, and somehow ends up in command of several thousand soldiers. So, he makes a plan. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Wheel of Time Spoilers 262 – TFoH Ch41 – The Craft of Kin Tovere The High Lord Weiramon has brought three separate groups of soldiers to Rand's army who would love nothing more than to not even look at each other. He insists that he should be allowed to attack immediatley. Rand thinks he's an idiot for believing 2,000 wetlanders should start skirmishing with more than 100,000 Shaido. We think Weiramon is not as dumb as he looks. The Dragon has no idea, but Weiramon is a darkfriend who very likely wants Rand to fail. Rand has hired a lens maker and a team of carpenters to build him a platform outside and high above the city from which the surrounding landscape and the battle itself can be observed. We will find out later, that it's his plan to use the raised platform to extend the view of channelers. The Shaido will be forced to dance with Rand, Egwene, and Aviendha's lightnings and fire, before they face his armies. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Nynaeve allows the old Shienaran veteran, Uno to lead her into Samara. They walk through a warren of abandoned buildings and alleyways, to where The Prophet of The Dragon is holding peculiar kind of court. Nynaeve witnesses the Prophet Masema accept a “donation” from Alliandre, the current queen of Ghealdan, which consists of all the jewelry she happens to be wearing. The Prophet himself seems filled with a fanaticism bordering on madness. We believe he's been compelled with the intent of creating havoc in the name of the Dragon. Despite the air of fanaticism bordering on delusional mania, when Masema is informed that Nynaeve was the Lord Dragon's childhood baby-sitter, he agrees to use his resources to find her a boat headed toward Tear where she might be reunited with the Dragon. Her true intent though, is not to be reunited with Rand, but with the Rebel Tower in Salidar. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Nynaeve sees Uno at the gathering of menageries outside of Samara. She greets him and drops an important name, Remember Uno? “We were with Rand”. He of course, remembers her immediately, curses about it, and drags Nynaeve away to a more private place to discuss this extremely sensitive topic. In some places, even talking about the Dragon can get you killed. We get our introduction to the Prophet, learn about the politics of this region, and Uno continues to lead Nynaeve to Masema, the self proclaimed Prophet of the Dragon.

When Birgitte regains consciousness, she immediately realizes she's not in Tel'aran'rhiod anymore. Thom somehow recognizes her. Not much gets past him, but Elayne fills the men in on what they have missed. Luca bets the new-comer to his menagerie that she can't out shoot him in an archery competition.

A sleepy Elayne lies awake, waiting for Nynaeve to return from the Dream. Nynaeve finally wakes, though she's destraught that she may have led Birgitte into a situation which got her killed. Thom pounds on the wagon door and quickly enters carrying the naked and near lifeless body of Birgitte. To their credit, it only takes the men a moment to realize who she is. Nynaeve rushes to revive the Hero of the Horn, but even her most sophisticated healing weaves have no effect. But, Elayne has an idea; the Warder Bond. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Elayne demonstrates her proficiency at cooking in the managerie's camp; a fun idiosyncrasy about her we rarely, if ever again see demonstrated, and sends Nynaeve off to bed with the twisted stone ring Ter'angreal. Once in Tel'aran'rhiod Birgitte informs her that she's managed to track down Moghedien in the Dream. Birgitte takes Nynaeve to the location and while behind the Dreamer's equivalent of a hunting blind, the two women watch Moghedien spy on a meeting between Graendal, Lanfear, Rahvin, and Sammael. This group of Chosen is discussing their plot to bait Rand into attacking Sammael where he'll be ambushed by the other three. This explains the Illianer daggers found on Assasin's near Rand. Birgitte pulls both of them away to discuss what they've seen, but when they arrive at their original meeting place, they find Moghedien has tracked them there. She destroys Birgitte's bond to the Dream ripping her into the real world, but not before a silver arrow pierces Moghedien's chest. Both are able to retreat and be healed, albeit in very different ways.

While Thom an Nynaeve practice for their knife throwing show, Valan Luca fawns and lavishes praises on 'Nana' in particular. The two #supergirls in the managerie have recently gotten word of Rand's armies moving into Cairhienin lands, clashing with the Shaido they're hunting, as well as Andoran and Cairhienin bandits. In Samara, where Elayne and Nynaeve are, the Prophet Masema and his followers face of against several encampments of Whitecloaks on the other side of the River Eldar.

Kadere has made it back to Cairhien traveling with the People of the Dragon. He's received a note from another darkfriend, simply letting him know that he's not alone. He's musing over the note which appears to have been written by an Aiel woman for various reasons, when Isendre enters his wagon. After speaking with her for a short time, Kadere realizes that the Maidens of the Spear have broken her completely. With no more ways to make use of her, and the possibility that she could betray him the the Maidens, he feels there is only one thing left to do. Kadere sets about strangling the young woman to death, and dismembering her corpse, all while remembering doing the same to his sister in Saldea long ago. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Suian has the ear of the Salidar Six, at least for now and she intends to use what time with she has effectively. We spend some time with our friend Morgan breaking down the motivations and allegiances of the powerful women in the room. Some are Black Ajah, some are moles for Elaida, and none have uncomplicated intentions. Suian knows this group is directionless, and will require a leader in order to get anything done. She knows they won't take her back, so who to prop up in her place? One of her hunting hounds likely, who will follow her direction without looking to threatening to the Six. In this way, Suian will have her Seat back, in all but title. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Happy birthday to Robert Jordan! (on the day we recorded this one). We establish that Mat's memories range between 500 years after the Breaking and about 2,000 years A.B. So, nothing in the last thousand years. That may have to do with the availability of the Red Stone Doorway Ter'angreal. One of Rand's wards around the camp is triggered, Mat realizes that the camp is being attacked from the south, AND north. We'll learn later that the purpose of the Trolloc and Myrdraal attack is to distract from the Draghkar assassins which drop from the sky in an attempt on Rand's life. Luckily Aviendha is with him to watch his back, almost certainly the only reason he survives. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Moiraine has warned Rand to trust no woman of the White Tower other than herself now that Siuan has been deposed, and Elaida has taken her place as Amyrlin. Rand and his Aiel armies have reached the Jangai Pass and are preparing to cross the Dragon Wall. A small town just inside of it has been sacked by the Shaido, and as Rand nears it he relaizes he can see the bodies of hanged resisters lining the town wall, spurring him to remember a similar scene witnessed through the eyes of Lews Therin during the War of Power. Those that were not murdered, were taken as slaves. We hear that the Shaido had passed through the area 6 days previously, making much better time than Rand's troops. The Maidens begin to pressure Rand to use their soldiers more willingly. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Liandrin and her fellow Sisters of the Black Ajah are currently in Amador, staying in the house of Jorin Arene awaiting orders from the Tower. We spend this chapter entirely in Liandrin's perspective which leaves us all feeling a bit like we need to wash. As She arrives at the manor house, Liandrin is directed upstairs where she finds waiting for her nine cowed sisters standing at attention, and Gyldin their old maid is the only one sitting. Gyldin shields Liandrin, reveals herself as Moghedien, and after extreme punishment goes about giving each of the women new tasks. Liandrin as well as a handful of others are tasked with hunting down Nynaeve al'Meara, although Moghedien does not know where she is. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

She and Elayne have agreed to travel toward Tear now that they've confirmed that there is Siuan has been deposed, Elaida has been raised to Amyrlin, all leading to a deadly dangerous split in the Tower. They happen to run into Galad in a White Cloak uniform. Elayne insists that they get out of town as quickly as possible, believing that her brother will either turn them in to the Children of the Light, or else insist on sending her home to the palace in Caemlyn. Elayne and Thom have a moment when she accidentally reveals that she remembers him from her childhood. One issue resolved, a thousand to come. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Nynaeve realizes she can not travel to the Amyrlin's study in the Dream. She can't find it, because it no longer looks anything like what she remembers. There is a new Amyrlin Seat now. When Egwene arrives she tries to reinforce the dangers of Tel'aran'rhiod once more by summoning a nightmare, likely because Egwene doesn't want anyone to know that she herself has been forbidden from entering the dream alone. The relationship between the two women is rapidly changing. The two go about searching for information in Elaida's study, and manage to learn more about the violent and political split in the Tower.

Nynaeve calls out to Birgitte in Tel'aran'rhiod, who gave her word to monitor the Forsaken in the Dream. At this point Nynaeve's interactions with the Hero of the Horn are still kept secret at Birgitte's request. When Egwene arrives for they're meeting, she tells Nynaeve that Rand's Aiel followers are hunting Couladin and his Shaido, and will soon arrive at Jangai, threatening a violent invasion of Cairhien. Melaine warns Nynaeve again about the dangers of Tel'aran'rhiod, and asks her to come study the dream with the Wise Ones. When she refuses, Melaine tells her that, “Aain'alein will die on the day he learns you are dead.” WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Does Elayne deserve to be mocked so thoroughly by Nynaeve? They probably both do, considering how stubborn and headstrong all three of the super girls are. While they're bickering, their coach is suddenly stopped by Valan Luca, the owner of a traveling managerie. They spot Luca's “giant boar horses” immediatley. They've both seen S'redit before, and know that they're Seanchan animals. Luca offers to put on a show for the “Lady Morellin” for “a pittance”, but the young women are in a hurry and, wanting to reach the next town before nightfall. Elayne tells Nynaeve to give the man some money before they continue on. Of course the ever thrifty Nynaeve gives the man a single silver penny. Although they don't know it yet, she's just insulted an ally she'll need later on. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Gareth Bryne is the Bull whose harnessed by ring of Roses. His pondering 'the old pipe' is Bryne's reassessment of those old loyalties. Gareth's team of aging veterans is hot on the tail Suian's group, and as they ride and search for information on their whereabouts, Bryne tells his men a funny story about how he once went up against Elaida, Suian, and Morgase in an argument about protecting Andor's borders. He may be a great warrior, but he fared poorly against those extremely formidable women. He doesn't know that his life is still directed by the same three women. The Bull may have been put out to pasture, but he still lives on their farm whether or not he understands. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Thom and Juilin head to town to gather supplies while Elayne and Nynaeve discuss Moghedien, and the threats Nynaeve's encounter with her present. What the men bring back is unsatisfactory to Nynaeve and so she and Elayne head to town. When they do Nynaeve sees a Yellow Ajah signal hanging on the shop of a dressmaker. It's a trap.

Egwene is summoned to the Wise Ones' sweat tent. Moiraine is there, trying to influence the Wise Ones to prevent Rand from bringing the Aiel over the Dragon Wall and invading Cairhien. It doesn't go well for her, these three Wise Ones will not interfere. Egwene still can't find the dreams of others, and Amys instructs her to find her dreams that night. We see the Wise Ones plan the Aiel equivalent of Amys' wedding contract, Aviendha's continuing struggles against her fate, and a punishment for the two ambitious apprentices.

Rand is navigating a new relationship with his honor guard, the Maidens of the Spear. It's mostly hilarious to watch Rand fumble around while trying to understand a complex exotic culture but one ex-Maiden, Aviendha, is giving him the hardest time of it. When Rand gave Aviendha the ivory bracelet, to thank her for being his advisor. The Maidens of the Spear believed it to be a courting gift, Aviendha is shamed by that assumption, knowing her true destiny with the Car'a'carn, and his relationship with her near-sister Elaine. She gives Rand a dragon belt buckle made of her own spears to 'settle the debt'. We learn so much about Aiel customs and culture in Fires of Heaven, and it's a delight on each re-read.

Lews Therin's mind and thoughts are beginning to slip into Rand's. Why and how that works are a matter of debate in the fan community. We'll tell you our theories, so you should feel free to send us yours! Moiraine has collected a number of items of the power and had them loaded onto wagons, but she takes special interest in the precise placement red stone doorway. She already knows about her showdown with Lanfear. She knows how to take her out, and knows she needs everything placed perfectly. Her rising anxiety, noted by everyone in the next few chapters, is all explained when one realizes that she may not know WHEN only HOW she can remove the Daughter of the Night from the picture. Spoiler: She's right, it works, and she knows her chances of survival are next to nothing. As the Aiel clans assemble, we watch the Chiefs discuss the warriors who have run away rather than face the truth of their heritage. This phenomenon does not yet have a name.

The Tairen High Lady Alteima, effectively exiled from her home by the political machinations of Thom Merrilin and Rand Al'thor, has arrived in Caemlyn hoping to find sanctuary in the Royal palace of Caemlyn, and protection from Queen Morgase. She is escorted through the palace grounds to meet with Queen Morgase by young Lieutenant Tallanvor, escorted right into the snake pit that Morgase has been trapped in. Of course, how could Lady Alteima have known that Rahvin, in disguise as Lord Gaebril, would take such a liking to her. “You're a viscous little cat, though pretty, perhaps pretty enough to keep with your teeth and claws drawn,” Rahvin says of her. Andor remains deep in the clutches of a Forsaken, though his control will be challenged soon.
We learn from Rahvin's inner monologue that although Morgase is under the influence of his compulsion, she is nearly impossible to fully control. Lanfear visit's Rahvin, she is the first to arrive of a meeting of four forsaken including Sammael and Graendal. While Graendal's gateway opens we peer through, and see a disconsolate Jain Farstrider. Four of the Chosen are Dead, and Asmodean had been taken by the Dragon as a teacher, leading these four members to meet and discuss a strategy. Lanfear has gathered together the strongest of the remaining Chosen and convinced them not to fight amongst themselves, but instead to focus on a cohesive strategy. We can't be sure about her exact intent, but we'll spend some time speculating.

Wheel of Time Spoilers 219 – TfoH – Prologue Part 1 The prologue of Fires of Heaven is long enough that we split it into two parts. Look out for part two this Friday evening. Elaida Sedai is now the Amyrlin seat. Watching her administrations in the prologue here are as painful as ever, and gets worse as time goes on. Although she is not a Friend of the Dark, half of her advisors ARE. Elaida is SURROUNDED by shadow, not to mention Fain who has only just arrived. Elaida is one of the few Aes Sedai that is willing to acknowledge Rand Al'Thor as the Dragon Reborn, and demonstrates in this scene that she is willing to use all powers at her diposal to bring him into the Tower's keeping.

With more Shadowspawn than ever descending on the refugees gathered in Emonds Field, few believe they will live until the morning. The Tuatha'an have agreed to carry the children of the Two Rivers folk to safety if the battle goes poorly along with a small contingent of Two Rivers' “Middle Schoolers”, every able bodied non-pacifist is holding a weapon, and even the elderly are waiting in reserve to join the battle, not if, but when things go badly. When the Shadowspawn arrive they chant “ISAM” over and over, because they are lead by Slayer. We'll break it down for you. We know this, because Verin knows this. However, when things do indeed go wrong, folks from Devin Ride, and Watch Hill begin to show up, and they are just as good with their longbows. It seems Perrin's wife has found something to do while she was sent away... WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

No one can use sursa (chopsticks) except for Thom. Egeanin and Bayle Domon run into each other again, and it only takes a short boxing match for them to realize that they like each other. Now that the super girls are aware that Egeanin is Seanchan, they start rethinking their relationship with the woman, but they promise not to harm her. Thom, Domon, and Juilin have all found the location of the Sect of Black Ajah they've been hunting seemingly simultaneously. As the men uncover more information, the women begin to hatch a plan.

Staying in Cold Rocks Hold, Rand has the opportunity to observe the Aiel as a people, rather than a group of warriors. While trying to investigate more, Rand asks to enter the Spear Maiden's head quarters. They think this is quite funny, shower him with gifts, and serve him tea in a long winded ritual outside in the court yard. He's never allowed to enter. When Rand mentions to Adelin that he would like to trade for her pretty bracelet, Adelin realizes the gift is for Aviendha, assumes Rand wants to court her, and without realizing what's happening, a legion of Maidens have already agreed to help him woo her. Rands gift to Aviendha means something that he's not aware of. Lanfear visits Rand's dreams at the end of this chapter and... Consent is key, kids. Don't be like Lanfear.

We're releasing this episode from the hotel lobby of JordanCon as we wait to fly back home. Thank you all so much for attending, nearly filling all three discussion panels we sat for, and making us feel so welcome in our first year attending Jcon as official panelists and media representatives. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU, we can't say how much we love all of our listeners, friends at JordanCon, and how much we felt loved. In the opening of this chapter, we learn about the Aiel's contempt for riding horses through Aviendha. Aiel strength, self sufficiency, and dedication have always been inspiring to us. Rand is immediately suspicious of the peddlers following his procession, although his initial assumptions about which one(s) are Forsaken are not correct. The Wise Ones are spying on Rand's dreams, possibly already worrying that he is becoming to hard, cold, and secretive. His special, but grueling training has begun. Lan instructs him in the sword each evening, Rhuarc in the spear, and also the Aiel's barehanded martial art. Egwene has settled her Toh with her teachers, and is finally allowed to take the braids out of her hair. Aviendha's training in the power is going well, it appears to be here that this is the first time she can reliably control her ability. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

In the bloody aftermath of the first (recent) battle for Emond's field, Perrin has to take a group of Congars and Coplins to task for firing on a group of Tinkers who had been fleeing toward the town in search of safety. It is the first of many tasks presented to Perrin as the emerging leader of Emonds Field and the surrounding communities. Perrin will struggle with accepting his role and responsibilities as a leader through out the series, and we'll discuss it in detail. While Faile councils Perrin on becoming a leader of his people, Aram the Tinker interrupts to ask Perrin if he can take one of the swords from the Winespring Inn's makeshift armory. Perrin tells him that anyone looking to defend themselves and the family from shadowspawn is welcome to take what they need. Aram takes the sword with a wolf head pommel, and becomes a “Lost One” in his family's eyes. Perrin sends Aram to Tam to learn how to use the weapon he chose. When Bornhald brings his Whitecloaks to the edge of Emonds Field to arrest Perrin, the villagers and the mayor flat out refuse, but Perrin is able to find a compromise.

Perrin wakes up, weak and tired, but healed from the brink of death. He senses that Faile is hiding something from him, and eventually drags out of her that Loial and Gaul have gone to re-lock the Waygate against his explicit wishes. Suddenly a cry of “Trollocs!” goes up outside the inn. Although Faile manages to convince Perrin not to go charging off into battle, he does go over-see it. The defenses that have gone up up around Emond's field over the last few weeks manage to hold against what we find is a test. Essentially a probe, to learn how Emond's Field might defend itself. More is coming, and there doesn't seem to be anyway out of the darkness. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

WoT Spoilers welcomes The White Tower Podcast one more time to join us in our ongoing conversation. Perrin uses the Wolf Dream for reconnaissance. He knows Slayer is out there somewhere, but still hasn't made the connection to Lord Luc. He spots a group of ravens flying toward the the mountains and follows them to the Waygate, which he finds has been unlocked. As it happens Slayer is there doing some scouting as well, and the two have a short exchange of words and arrows. Realizing that he is being lured into a deadly trap, Perrin simply steps out of the Dream but he cannot wake. He is still too heavily sedated. When he does finally wake, he finds a banner has been raised above the village green. A banner with a wolf's head emblazoned on it. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Hey folks, Sorry for the 'call in' quality of Patrick's audio track on this one. Rest assured, the problem has been fixed! Perrin visits the graves of his family members,and slowly counts his arrows, as if anticipating murder. Faile appears and informs him that Alanna is acting suspiciously, and that hundreds or thousands of people have flocked to Emonds' Field in search of safety, and because a Ta'veren suggested it. Lord Luc has set a trap for the Wolf King and his followers, who have been out hunting Trollocs in the countryside. Later this subterfuge and ambush give Perrin his first loss of men who serve him, twenty seven Two Rivers men. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Nynaeve and Elayne have arrived in Tanchico. The people are starving. Things are so bad there that Captain Domon has started running a soup kitchen. When the young women have a conversation with him for the first time since Falme, he quickly picks up on their good cop/bad cop style, although Elayne and Nynaeve only do this accidentally, it sure does work very well for them. Domon eventually agrees to provide the “Aes Sedai” with men and ships should they need it in their hunt for the Black Ajah. That evening, Elayne gets wasted, confronts Thom about her childhood memories of him, and then wanders into Nynaeve and her shared room. Nynaeve promptly dunks Elayne's head in a bucket of water. Later, Nynaeve enters in Tel'aran'rhiod Birgitte warns her of the danger, but it takes Slayer nearly killing her to get her to leave. In the morning, Elayne will pretend that none of it ever happened. Patrick sounds like he's talking inside a tin can in this one, but don't worry, the problem is already fixed!

Egeanin receives a bag from our old friend Floran Gelb (Captain Domon's boat hand who Rand kicked in the face in EOTW). It contains one of the A'dam that was lost during the initial Seanchan invasion. He is helping her look for many things... Jaichim Carridin is making a deal to place Amathera as the new Panarch of Tanchico in hopes that his plans will stem the flow of deaths in his family. He knows he will be the last to die when the Shadow runs out of relatives to kill. Running into Liandrin entangles him in the Black Ajah's plots, exasperates his problems, and essentially seals his fate. The Shadow has discovered the location of the Domination Band, but the Super Girls are hot on their trail. Later we see a conversation between Egeanin and a Seanchan Seeker in the service of the High Lady Suroth. He does not discover the captive Sul'dam she has been hiding in her basement – a many faceted problem. Tune in while we break down these intricate plots. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Although there is plenty of Daylight left, Rhuarc decides to stop the large group at a place called Imre Stand where he can be sure of water. Rhuarc's scouts make a grizzly discovery. A group of Aiel goat herders have been literally liquefied, and their remains used to paint the inside of a small shelter. With their goats left behind, we can tell this not only wasn't other Aiel raiders, it wasn't shadowspawn either. This was Lanfear and/or Asmodean not wanting to be discovered. Isendre's feigned shudder at the sight tells us almost as much. Rand's suspicion of the peddlers grows, he begins training and sparring with Rhuarc and Lan regularly in this chapter, and Mat's secondhand memories start bubbling to the surface. “That mountain can grow awfully heavy sometimes,” he sighed, taking a spear and buckler from Rhuarc. “When do you find a chance to put it down awhile?” “When you die,” Lan said simply.

Aviendha has been assigned to Rand, and the tension between the two is palpable. The Jindo Sept of the Tardaad clan, Much of the Shaido clan, and small group of Wise Ones and Wetlanders are traveling from Chaendar to Alcair Dal, a gathering place for Aiel Clan Chiefs. There is evident tension between these groups as well. All parties are well aware that violence very well might break out at any moment. While Lanfear and Asmodean are there in disguise as peddlers from the Wetlands, Lanfear sells Mat his iconic hat, and Asmodean makes his plans with Couladin. Rand suspects the other Wetlanders from the beginning, knowing that agents of the Shadow will follow him wherever he goes. Is he simply paranoid in his madness already, or can he really see their evil intent in their eyes as he claims? WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Egwene meets Elayne in Tel'aran'rhiod. The two spend some time catching each other up on everything that has happened since the parted ways. Elayne with the Sea folk, and Egwene with the Aiel. The Aiel's Dreamwalkers are busy visiting the dreams of Sept and Clan chiefs, as well as other Wise Ones, alerting them to gather; that Car'a'carn has been found and tested. That's why Egwene thinks it's a good idea to break her word and enter the Dream with out her teachers. She thinks they'll be too occupied to notice. She is wrong. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Rand and Mat return to the Aiel camp, and are greeted by the thrown spears of a small group of Shaido led by Couladin, although the gathered Wise Ones quickly put a stop to hostilities. Rand presents his dragon tattoos to the large group of Aiel who have assembled outside of Rhuidean. When they see that he is indeed marked as the Car'a'carn, they simply file out quietly. It's no surprise to us though, that the Aiel men and women assembled here are not exactly excited to see the harbinger of the end of the world as they know it. They know the Dragon will break the Aiel, and the world itself. AGAIN. Aviendha returns from Rhuidean as well. We believe that after having seen her future she feels like a trapped animal in a cage, and her anger and hatred are all focused on Rand al'Thor. Moiraine returns having learned mysterious facts about her own future as well. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Lord Luc aka Slayer seems nervous when he meets Verin. Is it because she asks poignant questions, or because she knows who he really is? Slayer is such a complex and poorly understood character, that during this episode we decide on the spot that our next Patron only episode will be a character profile on Luc/Isam. We'll let you know when we're recording and releasing it, look out for that! As Perrin travels toward the Whitecloak camp near Watch Hill he stops at each farmstead they see, to warn each group that people will be gathering in Emond's Field for self defense. Each group of villagers takes his advice, and begins packing their things. When the small party reaches the camp, Perrin decides it's time to take the Emond's Fielders out of captivity and return them to their homes. In an action packed sequence Perrin begins to become the leader and hero that these forgotten back-country folk need. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book-club.

Perrin and his small group travel from the old sick-house in Westwood across Emonds Field, to scout the Whitecloak camp. On the way, Tam and Abell suggest stopping at the al'Seen Farmstead, which has become one of the many small collections of families who've banded together for self defense. Even with several families under one roof, lookouts on top of the house, and everyone going about armed, this group won't stand a chance against a fist of trollocs led by a myrddraal, and Perrin knows it. Jac al'Seen is a kind and logical man. He offers to feed, and hide Perrin after hearing the younger man's story. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Suddenly in the midst of Aes Sedai, Perrin has some awkward and confusing interactions. Verin and Alanna tell him that they are simply searching for untrained channelers in the region. We don't believe that's the full story, and Perrin doesn't seem to either. The two women heal the small group of warriors, likely to keep tabs on them, because no one is badly hurt. Ordeith is making alliances with the fades and their trollocs in the area, and assassinating Whitecloaks. The stress of the whole situation is slowly turning Bornhald into an alcoholic. In this and the next few episodes, we'll take special care to explain the complex interweaving of the various plot lines which come together in the Two Rivers. Slayer, Fain, Whitecloaks, Shadowspawn, Aes Sedai, Forsaken, and Ta'veren. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Mistress al'Vere is doing her best to be a gracious host to a Saldean Lady, an Ogier, and three Aiel warriors. You'd hardly know this is a strange event to her. Nor does anyone know that there are two Aes Sedai and their Warders being kept hidden by a conspiracy among the women's circles of the surrounding villages. When Marin al'Vere brings Perrin and his small group to Verin and Alanna's hiding place, Tam and Abell Cauthon are there as well. Each person in the room is regarded as dangerous by the Children of the Light. For once, the Whitecloaks are correct. Each of these people is indeed dangerous, to the Whitecloaks' foolish plans and to Shadowspawn. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Perrin comes home. He purposely leads the party in a circuitous route, probably hoping to find Tam, but when he reaches the al'Thor farm there's little more than ashes where it once stood. When the group arrives in Emonds Field the al'Veres urge Perrin to leave, but he's having none of it. Bran has terrible news for him. The Luhans, and the Cauthon women have been kidnapped and are being held by Whitecloaks, there are trollocs preying on isolated farmsteads, and worst of all Perrin's family has been slaughtered by one of those groups. In an incredibly emotional; painful to read final scene, Perrin breaks down and weeps right there in the Winespring. We're crying with him. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Perrin and Faile's parties make their separate camps. Perrin prepares himself for his own death privately, and enters the Wolf Dream to look for clues about his next step in confronting the Whitecloaks, and how to proceed. Instead he finds Slayer killing wolves in Tel'aran'rhiod, and gives chase. Hopper has some small explanation of who this man is, but leaves Young Bull with more questions than answers. The chase ends with Slayer shifting out of The Dream near the Tower of Ghenjei. This has led many people to think that Slayer entered the tower, but we believe this was simply a ruse to tempt Perrin to enter, never to return. Birgitte appears to warn the young Ta'veren away from the dangerous place. Luckily, Perrin takes her advice. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Perrin keeps his ears sharp as he rides through the Ways. He knows he'll be the first person to hear a wind rise, signifying the imminent death of everyone in the party, including himself. There is no outrunning the Black Wind. The rising tension between Faile and Perrin comes to a crescendo (of spanking) early in this chapter. As the small group arrives at the Manetheren gate, Perrin hears and smells a group of trollocs moving behind them, headed in the same direction as the humans. But, the trollocs are being pursued as well, by Machin Shin. Perrin and company manage to fend off the shadowspawn long enough to get through the gate and back into the real world, just in time to watch their pursuers be consumed in a cacophony of terrifying screams. Loial locks the Waygate behind him, cutting off any possibility of the trollocs and myrrdraal escaping. As the group makes camp in the mountains above Emonds Field, Perrin sees his first signs of Slayer. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Our friends Bambi and Nic join us again to help us explain the sequence of ancestral visions Rand experiences after entering the crystal columns Ter'angreal in Rhuidean. As we continue to explore the growing rift in Aiel society and their governing philosophy, we'll spend some time debating whether the new “tent dwelling” spear wielding Aiel warriors destroyed their counter-parts, the Jenn Aiel, OR perhaps these new dangerous warriors actually preserved the Jenn for longer than they could have survived in the incredibly dangerous post-Breaking world. The extremely pacifistic Jenn undoubtedly benefited to be surrounded and protected by their warrior counterparts. However, the spear wielding Aiel simultaneously contributed to the destruction of Jenn Aiel culture by gradually accepting converts, until eventually there were no (or perhaps only one) Jenn Aiel or True Dedicated left. There's so much in these episodes! Including the emergence of the Aiel's Short Spear, the first Maiden of the Spear (a grieving mother bent on revenge), the origins of the Shoufa and black veil, the construction of Rhuidean, the genesis of the Tuatha'an, and more.

Wotspoilers welcomes special guests, Bambi and Nic to discuss Rand's visions as he enters the crystal column Ter'angreal in Rhuidean. Robert Jordan wrote this chapter in reverse chronological order. In an attempt to clarify the events leading up to the founding of Rhuidean and Aiel culture as we know it we'll be breaking down this chapter in chronological order. When read in this way the visions Rand is experiencing tell a concise story of the development of Aiel society witnessed through the eyes of his own ancestors. This is an incredible world building moment in the Wheel of Time series, that we'll be taking extra care in discussing. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Rand and Mat make their way into the ancient abandoned city. The boys are thirsty after walking through the desert all morning, which leads Rand to discover that with the Power, he can make the long forgotten fountains of Rhuidean produce water again. We believe Rand has been going mad for BOOKS now, using Callandor can only have accelerated the process, and there is a little more evidence in this chapter of Rand's warped perception of reality. The two take a relaxing break underneath the branches of Avendesora before Rand enters the crystal columns. While waiting for him to return, Mat spots the sister of the red-stone doorway Ter'angreal and decides to address what he sees as unfinished business with 'those snake people'. He is surprised when he enters to find a different race of fox faced people waiting on the other side. These people won't answer any of his questions, and in a hilarious quickly escalating misunderstanding, Mat starts shouting at fox people, and winds up getting everything he asks for.

Rand has managed to successfully transport his party from a Portal Stone in Tear to one just outside Rhuidean. This was the limit of his power at the time; Moiraine seems to think that he nearly killed himself in the attempt, but she also knows that the Aiel Wise Ones prophesied his safe arrival at the city. That same group of Wise Ones greets Rand and his party, they've been waiting for him. We'll get deep into Aiel politics, culture, and customs in this one as we disccuss the relationship between Rhuarc and Couladin, the Shaido and their rival clans, what blood fueds are, the role of Wise Ones in this society, and MUCH more. Rand, and as an odd twist of chance Mat as well, are granted permission to enter Rhuidean. After a small ceremony the two young men are sent into the ancient city. As Aviendha, and later Moiraine are sent to Rhuidean to go through the three ringed Ter'angreal there, Egwene eagerly awaits the beginning of her lessons on Tel'aran'rhiod. She is, unsurprisingly the most ambitious of the group, and constantly being shushed and told to wait her turn by the Wise Ones. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Rand leads his odd procession of Aiel and Aes Sedai through the streets of Tear, to a Portal Stone just outside of the city. Aviendha is among the scouts Rand sends out looking for the ancient artifact, she's the one who finds it, it's one of their very fist interactions despite being in the Stone together. Using the Portal Stone is a gamble, and Rand is hoping that his own power enhanced by the Siddhartha angreal will be enough to take his large part to Rhuidean. We'll also get a quick run down of Aiel politics and blood-fueds from Rhuarc. A little foreshadowing on the tense politics Rand will have to navigate. Moiraine does not interfere with Rand's use of the Portal Stone. She's almost certain he'll be successful, we'll tell you how she knows. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

We're excited to watch Rand gather the nobles of Tear, and announce his plans through Moiraine's eyes; a master of The Game of Houses. Chapters from her perspective are fairly rare, but very informative. So, we'll take plenty of time to analyze Moiraine's insights into current events in Randland. This is the sequence where Rand leaves Callandor sunk into the Heart of the Stone, the moment that literally resounds, we can hear it, in the chapters from different perspectives that occur before this one. Rand will travel via Portal Stone to the Aiel Waste after this event, and return to his homeland leading the greatest army on the planet. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Elayne and Nynaeve are still in Tear's harbor when they feel the earthquake Rand creates as he drives Callandor in the Heart of the Stone. The two women are joined by Thom Merrilin and Juilin Sandar. The two men were sent separately, by different people to act as the young women's unofficial warders during their hunting trip to Tanchico. Although, the two men have not been informed that this trip to Tanchico involves hunting the Black Ajah. Elayne discovers what a Windfinder really is as the Seafolk Raker speeds away from Tear.

Elayne and Nynaeve arrive at the docks of Tear, to board 'The Wavedancer', a Seafolk raker. They suspect the Black Ajah is active in Tanchico, although they don't know why or exactly where. In our first encounter with the Atha'an Miere we meet the powerful and clever women in charge of the impressive vessel, and experience their sharp negotiation skills that they're known for. We find out that The Wavedancer was involved in a battle in which they sunk a Seanchan ship in a battle that pitted a Windfinder against a Damane. The Seafolk are looking for their Coramoor, the only reason they'll allow these “Aes Sedai” passage on their ship at all. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Perrin, Faile and their small party are preparing to enter the Ways. Gaul explains to Perrin that his clan has a blood-feud with the clan of one of the maidens that will be accompanying them to the Two Rivers. With a little luck he says, they won't have to kill each other. While the party is riding out of the city, the Stone “rang like a monstrous bell” this is Rand, slamming Callandor into the floor of the Heart. After a fun exchange of banter between the Perrin and Faile's groups, the small party opens the Waygate, and Perrin takes the lead. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Moiraine wants Thom to travel with Nynaeve and Elayne to Tanchico. Every time these two have a conversation there are multiple meanings, implications, and shrouded threats. Each conversation between these two wonderful characters gives us SO much to break down, and attempt to understand. In the end, Moiraine convinces him to look after the two young women, we'll explain why, how, and what price eventually buys Thom. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

Tune in for a special dramatic reading of Lan's monologue in this chapter! Perrin has his mind set on returning to Emond's Field, to die, alone, but Faile isn't having it. Her (and his) stubborn behavior over the next few chapters is un-endingly frustrating to read, and although it may seem counter intuitive, plot lines like this one are what make Robert Jordan's characters feel so real. They are flawed individuals, who are often terrible at communicating in general, stubborn to the point of obstinance, and prone to refuse help from their friends and allies out of pride or misplaced distrust. The tension between Faile and Perrin, is mirrored by a similar tension between Lan and Nynaeve. At the end of these tense scenes, Perrin, Gaul, Bain, Chiad, Faile, and Loial ready for their journey through the ways, Lan Moiraine will follow Rand to the Aiel waste, and Nynaeve and Elayne head to Tanchico by ship.

There is only one place Mat can find the answers to his questions, the land of the Finn. Little does Mat know, Rand, and Moiraine have already entered the doorway, ALL THREE are there getting their answers at the same time.

While Perrin is laying to sleep, and unexpected visitor walks into his room. We think her intent is exactly what she says, to have Perrin pass a message to Rand. The first of Mayene will be leaving Tear, and Berelain is afraid to approach Rand alone. Perrin's resistance at being used as a messenger boy is what makes Berelain initially re-think that intent. When Faile enters and finds them together, she ignores the presence of another woman, she'll deal with that later. Perrin tells Faile that he'll be traveling back to the Two Rivers without her, but she's having none of that. After dramatically confronting Berelain in the hall outside Perrin's rooms only to be interrupted by Dad (Rhuarc) who breaks up the fight, Faile heads to Loial's apartments, to undermine Perrin's travel plans.

Mat sits in an ale house, drinking and relieving the last few hours of his life. The Battle in the Stone; Mat's life was saved by a horde of Trollocs, we'll read his flashback to you. We'll spend a little time talking about Manetheran, and how the Pattern itself has picked the perfect people to save the world from the touch of the Dark One. While brooding to himself, Mat overhears a group of men talking about the Two Rivers. They're merchants, and a few are concerned that there will be no fine Two Rivers tabac to sell next year, because there is a large group of Whitecloaks occupying that region. We all know what happens when the Whitecloaks come to town. Mat returns to the Stone to inform his friends of this news, but when he finds Perrin, the Blacksmith is already packing his things. Their paths are laid out for them, Mat's leads to the Waste, intertwined with Rand's. Perrin's though, leads home. spoilercon.org Plans are already in the works for next year's WotSpoiler's meet-up.

Egwene returns from Tel'aran'rhiod and tells her friends and fellow hunters about Amys, the Wise One she met in the Dream. Egwene knows she has to go to this teacher, and cannot travel to Tanchico with the other women. Luckily, she'll have a companion, because Aviendha has been summoned to the Waste as well. We'll fall off the deep end a bit, and spend a while talking about Aiel Culture, while Aviendha explains Aiel marriage customs to the women of the White Tower. Moiraine appears to tell the young women that Joiya and Amico, their Black Ajah captives, have been assassinated in their cells; their tongues nailed to the inside of their cell doors. The decision is made. No one goes to the White Tower, two toward Tanchico, and two will head to the Waste. Sponsored by: Dragon School: First Flight
Sponsored by: Binding The Shattered Harp Moiraine informs the Hunters Three that their two Black Ajah Captives have been assassinated while in their cells. Amico and Joiya were found with their throats slit, and their tongues cut out. Their doors were never opened, and their guards heard nothing. As readers we find out later who killed them and why, MUCH later. There is a long list of Egwene's prohetic dreams in this chapter, that we'll interpret for you, as well. Egwene has been stumbling her way through Tel'aran'rhiod until, while looking for information on the whereabouts of the Black Ajah in the World of Dreams, she stumbles upon one of the few talented dreamers in the world. Her name is Amys, a Wise One from the homeland of the Aiel. Now Egwene knows she needs to go to the Aiel Waste and Rhuidean, with Rand and Aviendha, while Elayne and Nynaeve travel to Tanchico, hunting their darkfriend quarry.
Check Out The Empathetic Sketchbook Our friend Daniel Greene joins us again to discuss The battle for the Stone. After a Grayman makes an attempt on Rand's life while he's mid-conversation with Lanfear, he throws open the door to his apartments to find that the entire stone is under attack from Shadowspawn. Rand wades out into the madness, now unafraid of the Shadowspawn, and begins rallying defenders, Aiel, and whoever he can to defend the women and children who live in the Stone. Robert Jordan gives us a beautiful and unrelentingly brutal depiction of the battle that we will discuss line by line. Sammael sent the half dozen graymen to assassinate Rand, and the first wave of Trollocs and Myrdraal, Semirhage sent the SECOND wave of Trollocs and Myrdraal to kill the first, but once Rand comes to his senses enough to pick up Callandor, The Dragon kills them ALL. In a moment of fear, panic, and emotional distress, after creating a kind of sentient lighting which hunts all the Shadowspawn in the area into extinction, Rand attempts to save the life of a child who is lying dead in front of him. He makes her stand, restarts her heart, and makes her lungs start breathing again, all while Moiraine screams at him. Death cannot be healed, for the love of the light, not this Rand, not this...

Do it and tell him we sent you. We'll spend a little time talking with Daniel about the Kingkiller Chronicles, Daniel's other projects, how we found eachother, and ended up working as book reviewers and book-club runners. As we break in to Chapter 9, we find our characters suffering a particularly hot summer day in Tear. Chapter 9 has no solid perspective switches, it simply sets us up to understand where our characters are, and what they're doing, because SOMETHING is about to happen. This is the calm before the storm. We'll talk about Rand's relationships with his three future wives, the interesting cultural divides between many of our current characters, why Aviendha hates chairs, the upcoming JordanCon, our very own SpoilerCon 2019, the difficulties in getting our WoT pronunciations correct, Rand's style of governance and moral disgust with Tairen leadership, and a ton more.

Egwene and Elayne implement their plan to deliver the Dragon into the arms of the daughter heir of Andor. Rand is still suffering from his haunted dreams. Some are real, some are not, but it makes little difference, the young man is under an incredible amount of stress, he isn't sleeping, and someone or something tries to kill him on a nearly daily basis. Is Rand on edge for these reasons, is it the madness, or both? The two young women try to teach Rand what they can about channeling the One Power. Rand picks up more tips in this scene than he initially realizes, particularly, how to detect that Saidar is being channeled near him, shielding a channeler, and tying off weaves, among other things.

While Nynaeve takes pleasure in Moiaine's frustrated attempts to direct Rand's actions, Moiraine informs the prisoners and their jailers that she has made arrangements for the captives to be sent by river boat to Tar Valon, to be tried, and undoubtedly executed by the women of the Tower. We'll spend a bit of time explaining the over-arching timeline of Moiaine's messages to the tower, the assassination of Joiya and Amico, the deposition of Siuan Sanche and the split in the Tower, Nynaeve and Elayne's activities in Tanchico, Rand, Egwene, and Aviendha in the Aiel Waste. Their threads will be spread apart, before the are woven together again. Moiraine explains to us a little of the rules that govern the worlds of the Snakes and Foxes, as well as the existence of the red-stone doorway underneath the Stone and how it works.

After healing and counseling Rand, Moiraine returns to the Hunters Three, to advise them in their questioning of Joiya and Amico, the two captured Sisters of the Black Ajah. The three younger women have managed to glean a few choice bits of information from their interrogation, but don't know what they can trust, let alone act on. Aviendha notices that the stilled Sister's appearance has changed - our first hint about the dynamic between channeling, stilling, the Three Oaths, and aging. We'll also explain the Three Oaths to the Dark Lord that replace the original Three Oaths of an Aes Sedai. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

A Gleeman's Strings, The strings which tie Thom and Mat to the Dragon, and just for good measure, Thom is playing the games of houses like a fiddle for them both. When Mat arrives at his door, Thom is just finishing up a forged letter. His intent is to create a rift between Rand's detractors. This plot eventually leads to one of the Dragons enemies killing another in a 'hunting accident'. We spend some time talking about Thoms strategies in the Great Game, and how he is subtely manipulating the powerful people that surround the Dragon, keeping them at each other's throats so they have no time to conspire against Rand. We believe Thom was also instrumental in Morgase's rise to power. Thom advises Mat, pushing him ever in the right direction. Toward Rand, and his own and their shared destiny.

Perrin and Faile move quickly through the corridors of the Stone. The Tairen High Lords avoid the Dragon and his retinue. The first section of this chapter really highlights the growing tension between the two groups in the Stone. Rand's Aiel guards try to discourage Perrin from bothering Rand, but even Bain's spear point directed at his neck doesn't deter him. We'll spend some time discussing the vast cultural canyon that separates the Aiel from the Rand-landers. Upon entering Perrin witnesses the aftermath of Rand's bubble of evil. There is blood and shattered glass everywhere, and the Dragon is still bleeding all over himself. Although, now he is only quietly sitting. Perrin shouts to the Maidens to send a runner for Moiraine and her healing. Moiraine arrives 'like an icy silken avalanche', heals Rand, and prompts the boys for the story of what happened. She explains her theory of bubbles of evil, and this explanation is where we get the phrase used to describe this phenomena for the rest of the series. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.

This section begins with Rand, dreaming a sexually charged dream about Min and Elayne. Berelain enters his room and he snaps awake. Rand is standing and holding his sword of fire in the span of a breath. He's becoming more paranoid by the hour, and we'll spend a lot of time discussing Rand's slow descent into madness. She wants to seduce him, but Rand is having none of it. He does try to remain polite through most of the encounter, even when Berelain refuses to take no for an answer. Luckily for her, Rand loses his patience, and slowly pushes her out of the room with a wall of air. Before she's out of the door, a cock crows in the distance, a widely known omen of death; the moment that ties each of the boy's timelines together for us. In that moment, Rand's own reflections in the mirrors step out into the room. In a beautifully dark action scene Rand fights many copies of himself in a long drawn out battle while Berelain watches safely shielded behind the wall of air. It takes him quite a while to find the answer, that he must absorb them into himself. The Dragon is one with the land, and so to ground this bubble of Evil Rand must touch the copies of himself with is own body, rather than with dirt or wood which is what worked for the other boys. His training with Lan is likely what keeps the Dragon alive.
Mat is playing cards with the sons of the High Lords of Tear. Later with the exception of one who dies, these men will be commanders in the Band of the Red Hand, underneath it's general, Matrim Cauthon. Mat tells the men the story of how he discovered a new game, Maiden's Kiss. Outside in the darkness, a cock crows and Mat's hand, the highest card in each suit, kings and queens, come to life and attack him. Time slows down for the Ta'veren and Mat pins each of the cards to the wooden walls of the room with thrown knives, much like how Perrin pins his ax to a wooden door. MUCH later in the series there is a bubble of evil event in Salidar, that requires dirt to be thrown at objects that have come to life in order to un-animate them. We believe this bubble follows the same rules. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

In a lengthy and beautiful intro, Robert Jordan brings us back to The Stone of Tear, where the Dragon's Banner whips in the wind on the top of the mountain fortress. Perrin and Faile are in their rooms, arguing, believe it or not. We discuss their relationship, and debate a bit about just how intimate it has become. Faile wants Perrin to accept her as a long-term partner, but he doesn't feel right about keeping her near him, considering the imminent existential threat that surrounds him and everyone he knows. Death could come at any time, and Perrin very badly wants to protect her, but refuses to turn his back on his childhood friend, Rand Al'Thor. Shaitan stirs, and like bubbles rising from rotten detritus at the bottom of a pond, a dark force rises to the surface of the Pattern itself. Those bubbles are what gives life, or some kind of sentience, to Perrins weapon, and it tries to kill him. After a harrowing fight, Perrin is able to misdirect it, and the ax drives itself into a wooden door. This essentially “grounds” the energy of the Dark One, dispersing it.
Elaida has growing suspicions about Suian, and quickly realizes that this “Elmindreda” is connected to Elayne, Nynaeve, and Egwene. She knows that the three young women are connected to Rand, Moiraine to all of them, and most importantly Suian to Moiraine. The White Cloaks are moving toward the Two Rivers, Mordeth in toe, now known as 'Ordeith', a reference to Worm Tongue of LOTR, and have taken a group of Tinkers prisoner. We spend some time analyzing Suroth's perspective. We'll discuss her activities as a Darkfriend, and her ultimate role in the series. We also spend some time explaining a bit more about Seanchan culture, warfare, and how all that works. If you'd like to know more, please check out our full Episode on the Seanchan, available at https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers We witness a Suroth questioning an Aes Sedai formerly of the Yellow Ajah, now called Pura about the man called Rand Al'Thor.

This podcast features a VERY special guest, Timber gnawing on a bone in the background. Our Nae'blis says hello as he mercilessly grinds the bones of our enemies into dust. Be'lal's plan is to drive Rand Althor to desperation during their duel, to toy with him so that the farm-boy will draw Callandor and consequently Be'lal can take the powerful artifact from him. If Rand doesn't pick up the crystal sword, no one can. Luckily, Rand doesn't draw the Sword That is Not a Sword until Moiraine steps out of the shadows and balefires Be'lal into oblivion. We talk about our running theories on the wound in Rand's side; why, when, and how it breaks open IS predictable. We explain and justify our head-canon on this. Although the duel, and battle, appear to be done, Ishamael appears from the shadows. It is clear that his plan was to wait for Rand to take Callandor, defeat Be'lal OR let Be'lal take it from him, and then take Callandor himself. Rand DOES take Callandor this time, and in an exciting chase through Tel'aran'rhiod, Rand ultimately stabs the greatest of the Forsaken through the chest with the crystal sword. We'll explain the mechanics of the fight in the World of Dreams, how the timelines of Egwene's, Perrin's, and Mat's separate battles in this chapter, and the inevitable consequences of it all.

Mat approaches the Stone with his bundle full of explosives, a bit of fire, and plenty of luck. As he slinks across the rooftops of Tear, Mat notices Rand climbing the side of the Stone in the distance. Suddenly a group of Aiel take him by surprise. Mat puts up a solid fight during the confusion, but the small group of Aiel subdue him easily enough, just as Juilin Sandar arrives to confront them all. There are a few awkward moments, but no more fighting. The three contingents manage to amicably agree not to interfere with each other, and continue on about their separate tasks. We explain arrow slits, concussive force, and how Mat places his bundle in just the right way to blow shrapnel TOWARD HIMSELF. Luckily... well, you get the picture. Egwene goes to sleep in her prison cell, to attack the woman guarding her cell. Is channeling in your in World of Dreams ACTUAL channeling? We'll talk about it, and come to absolutely no conclusion although, we certainly have opinions. Perrin and Hopper hunt for Faile, who fell into the dream trap set for Moiraine.

A flow of spirit triggered the hedgehog trap, and perhaps, a flow of a different kind of spirit is working on Perrin's emotions. Faile has fallen into a trap left for Moiraine, a trap set in the real world, that imprisons her in Tel'aran'rhiod. Perrin realizes that the Wolf Dream is the World of Dreams, and he's the only person that can go about saving Faile. With Loial set to guard him in his sleep, Perrin uses Tel'aran'rhiod as a tool, uses his hammer as a weapon, and Hopper accepts Perrin into the Dream without admonishing him, each for the first time. Perrin has accepted death, and that is exactly why he will live. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club. You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Captain Lopar has no relation to the bizarre Seanchan beasts, it's just a coincidence. Thom is so sick, that Mat drags him to a Wisdom or, a Wise Woman in Tear. Mat notice's the Wise Woman's accent is the same as Suian Sanche's. We spend a little time discussing the culture of the, 'Maule' one of the poorest districts in the city of Tear. We have get lot of insight from Suian's stories which are scattered throughout the books. Mother Guenna puts Thom in a headlock after forcing medicine down his throat, conveniently freeing Mat to start scouting the Stone for a way to break in without any meddling from the older, wiser man, for better or worse. Not to mention, the Mother Guenna is one of the few people in Tear who knows where Mat's friends are. All he has to do now, is break them out.

Nynaeve runs in to Juilin Sandar on the street. He's under compulsion after being caught by the Black Ajah, and he leads her back to Mother Guenna's house. It only takes Nynaeve a moment to see the trap, she's already shielded, but it's not too late to punch Liandrin in the face. AGAIN. The three hunters are taken prisoner, though they all go down fighting, to their credit. Sadly they only had fists in a One Power fight.

As Perrin arrives in Tear with Moiraine, Lan, and Loial, we get a detailed and thoughtful of description of the scents of the city from his perspective. City smells, and the scents of fish, and the spice trade. As the small party travels through the city, Perrin can also sense a general feeling of unease from the citizens of Tear, and from Moiraine, and Loial in particular. Be'lal has a tight grasp on the minds and Dreams of the people of Tear. The Darkness is palpable. As luck would have it, Perrin finds a personal meditative refuge from all the nightmares and fear, in a blacksmith's shop near where they're staying. After a day of hard work, the craftsman gives Perrin a gift for his efforts, a long handled hammer, in hopes to keep the young man in the trade; that he'll always remember it. This is an undeniably symbolic conversation that gives us tons of insight into Perrin's character. Moiraine prompts Loial to teach us a bit about Be'lal, and abruptly informs the party that the Forsaken is active in the city, and she's going to assassinate him.

Mother Guenna introduces Juilin Sandar to the Hunters Three. We talk about the differentiation between the terms thief-taker and thief-catcher, something that Juilin cares about. The little group makes their deal. Juilin will find the women of the Black Ajah, report on their whereabouts, but no more. Later that night, when Egwene enters Tel'aran'rhiod, she finds the Black Ajah guarding Callandor in the Heart of the Stone. Waiting for her, or Rand, or...something. We'll talk about it. As Mat and Thom arrive in Tear, a lightning flash illuminates the very home Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne are staying in, but Mat won't find it until Thom gets so sick he's forced to find a healer for his friend. Although, Mat DOES find Comar – one of Rahvin's generals in the first hour. Comar does not live through their little bar fight. The three boys are all in or near the city now. The chances of dramatic Ta'veren pushes and pulls on the Pattern, and on one another grow by the hour.

The Hunters Three arrive in Tear. Nynaeve has the bright idea to stay in no inn, but instead with a local healer in attempt to make the three women harder to find. Mother Guenna is basically in older version of Nynaeve, and they hit it off famously. Egwene has had a LONG list of prophetic dreams that we'll discuss one by one, it's a shame she doesn't know how to interpret them yet because some of them enlighten us about events that happen as far out as the last battle. The women agree to hide their true identities from any Tairens they meet. When Nynaeve tells Mother Guenna what she can about their situation, the older woman has an idea. She knows one of the best thief catchers out there, his name is Juilin Sandar. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Tallanvor admonishes the guard who sent Mat away while they're on their way out. When Mat returns to the Queen's Blessing, he abruptly announces that he'll be leaving for Tear as soon as he can pack his bags and get some food in his stomach. In the conversation that ensues, Master Gil gives Mat some information about Lord Gaebril, Thom gives him some advice, Mat reveals what he learned in the palace, and Thom ultimately agrees to travel to Tear with Mat to warn the Hunters Three about the price on their heads. We spend some time on the varied plans of each Forsaken, and how they use Tel'aran'rhiod to control large groups of people through their dreams – an important theme through the series, but especially in The Dragon Reborn, and the Shadow Rising.

Mat and Thom arrive in Caemlyn. Mat seems very impressed by it's scale, and maybe more so by it's wealth. Thom of course, heads straight to the Queen's Blessing, but Mat rides to the palace eager to be rid of Elayne's letter to Morgase. Mat's first attempt is foiled, however. It seems that most of the old Palace guards have been replaced by a group of rough and incompetent men, who are more keen to argue or fight with him than receive any official letter. We'll find out later that this was the work of Rahvin. Plan B is to climb the garden wall that Rand told him about months ago. Mat sneaks through the Palace's gardens and right up to some occupied rooms, while waiting for a guard to walk past him, he overhears two men speaking about Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne. One is instructing the other to assassinate the hunters three. Just as he is considering walking into one of the doors, Tallanvor, one of Morgase's last loyal men, steps out of it. How lucky for Mat Cauthon. Morgase speaks in a type of cypher, Mat recognizes Gaebril's voice as one of the insidious planners from earlier, and Mat manages to deliver the letter. Now all mat has to do is travel thousands of miles to Tear and save his friend's lives, nbd.

Moiraine's little group, Faile being the newest addition, are fleeing Illian. She believes that Sammael knows where they are, and they know Rand is on his way to Tear. Moiraine intends to either get there first, or intercept him there. Just outside of Illian, our protagonists realize they're still being tracked by the pack of darkhounds. There are few ways to kill them, Perrin picks up a bow, and Moiraine allows him to try and kill a few. Moiraine uses balefire to finish the remaining shadowbrothers. Mat and Thom are caught between towns, and make a primitive camp near the road they're traveling down, also on their way south. A group of Darkfriends approach them in the night, Mat manages to take care of the attempt on his life, with the exception of their leader, a woman. Thom kills her before she kills Mat, and manages to teach Mat a lesson; that a woman is easily as dangerous as any man. Mat points out that one of the men had tried to kill them before, but escaped the last time. He was not so lucky on his second try.

Lan is Curious as to how Perrin sensed the graymen before he or Moiraine could. Perrin reluctantly explains that he smelled them, and as they've been tracking Rand he's scented them many times before. This time however, the Graymen were coming for Perrin rather than Rand. Lan is sure to point that out. When Lan brings Perrin and Loial outside to scout around the area, he finds a darkhound's track in some stone, and Perrin smells them nearby. Moiraine tells us that the graymen and darkhounds must have been sent from separate sources, because they would have interfered with eachother. We're able to deduce that Sammael sent the hounds to track them, but Ishamael sent the graymen to destroy them. Moiraine goes out into the night to confirm their suspicions. When she returns, we learn that Lan has killed one of the darkhounds, and Moiraine is sure that Sammael will know not only that they were responsible, but exactly where they are. She informs her group that it's time to run again, toward Tear, and destiny. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

We learn that a group of Ogier stone masons have left the city recently without finishing their work. Moiraine explains that Ogier are sensitive to some things, and whatever is happening in this city has driven them away, not to mention darkening the mood of it's citizens through some use of Tel'aran'rhiod. When the party stops at an inn named 'Easing the Badger' a large group of graymen enter intending to assassinate Perrin. Luckily, Perrin senses what they are before even Lan or Moiraine do. The party makes quick work of the Shadowspawn. Moiraine later confirms that the Forsaken Sammael has established himself in Illian, but he was not the one who sent the graymen. That was most likely Ishamael. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

Moiraine tests Faile's mettle to verify she's the falcon Min saw, and whether she's pulled into Perrin's web. Although, Moiraine is as furious as an Aes Sedai gets, everyone is stepping lightly around her. Shortly after he party arrives in Illian, Moiraine allows Faile into her group. Moiraine makes her swear to obey her, and be satisfied with knowing only what she tells Faile about what they're doing. Now, Faile is part of it too, whether she wants to be or not.

As the Aiel women explain why they’ve crossed the Dragon Wall, the three wetlander women learn more about Rand’s past. Something at least Nynaeve already suspected. As the Maidens of the Spear learn more about their counter-parts’ mission, it becomes evident to them that these women are on the trail on what the Aiel want, the Car’a’carn, and victory against the Shadow. Now the Aiel contingent of Aiel can be sure it will begin in Tear, in the Heart of the Stone. They know now, that these women of the White Tower must be followed. When the hunters three are attacked and taken prisoner to be sold to a group of myrddraal, their new Aiel friends come streaming like black-veiled death to their aid.

Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are walking downriver to the nearest port town when they're approached by a young Maiden of the Spear who introduces herself as Aviendha. Aviendha explains that a woman she has been traveling with is gravely injured, and asks if she could be healed. Bain and Chiad are there with Aviendha, and together they lead the three women to where the injured Maiden lays dying. Nynaeve manages to bring the Maiden back from the brink of death, and the Aiel women have some questions for the Wetlanders. They seek signs and portents, and three Aes Sedai walking through a war-torn country hunting darkfriends certainly seems like one.

Wheel of Time Spoilers Episode 136 – TDR – Ch37 Fires in Cairhien Egwene stares east, watching the smoke rise from the fires in Cairhien. There is a civil war in full force, and no one is strong enough to take control of the nation. Andor has been providing humanitarian aid, but that will stop soon on orders from Rahvin, who is now in control of Andor, and Queen Morgase's mind. Their ship races down the river at the direction of a captain who is keen on impressing the three 'Aes Sedai'. Of course, in short order the river draft slams into a sunken ship, a trap left by brigands. Nynaeve is too impatient to wait for the ships crew to free it from the obstruction, and so the three women decide to walk to the nearest town in hopes of finding another ship that will bring them to Illian.

One of the Many bits of Lore in the WoT Universe we all find ourselves woven into is the One Power. Not to be confused with the True Power which is the power of the Dark One, the One power is the force that turns the Wheel of Time itself, the wheel that weaves the very Pattern of the Ages. While we learn a great many things about the one power over time, one thing is still shrouded in mystery and speculation: objects of the power. Specifically, Angreal and Sa’Angreal. We know what they do, we know why they are used, and we know they are uncommon; almost legendary in their scarcity even. But we know next to nothing of their origins, or their production. Thanks to the speculative minds of our WoT Spoilers discord members, a very in-depth and feasible theory has been compiled. In Book 14, Rand Al’thor, The Dragon Reborn, is making his final arrangements, as he is prepared to die for the salvation of his people. Before he goes, however, He bestows Parting Gifts on those he cares for the most. Amongst them, and the most relevant to this topic, is the Ter’angreal he Presents to Elayne Trakand. He explains that he has learned that she has a Talent and a passion for Ter’angreal. He then goes on to bestow knowledge from the Age of Legends upon her, explaining in the briefest of ways, how Angreal were once made in the Age of legends. The Ter’angreal he gave her, he named a Seed. He said that the Seed was channeled through to make angreal. And that is all we have as in-text-cannon. It has been decided -through much debate and inference- that while the Seed is needed to produce an Angreal or Sa’angreal, it does not become the (Sa’)Angreal itself. Rather, A chosen item is selected to be the (Sa’)Angreal itself. Elayne an Aviendha seemed to feel like some of the Angreal they found had a feeling of being sentimental or personal in some way. They even speculate that in the Age of Legends, when the making of such items was not a mystery, it wouldn’t be surprising to find that they were made specifically for a certain person as either a gift, a memento, or as a commissioned piece. The material and size of the object to be transformed seems not to matter, as we see a wide variety of items that have become (Sa’)Angreal throughout the series, with size never being a consistent indicator for the overall Strength of the (Sa’)Angreal. Amongst them jewelry, Ivory carvings, amber brooches, and carvings and statuettes of various other materials. It is to be inferred that he process that is undertaken to create (Sa’)Angreal changes the composition of the item, Making them stronger and more damage resistant, without changing the appearance. This seems to only be a rule for (Sa’)Angreal, as some Ter’angreal are changed from their original appearance after being completed. (Such as the Stone Ring Dream Weaver Elayne tries to recreate.) An Important thing to know about Angreal and Sa’angreal is that they are specifically attuned to one half of the One power, either the male half (Saidin), or female half (Saidar). One attuned to Saidin, will do nothing for a woman and vice versa. But that tidbit begs the question of how that attunement is determined. After some speculation and reasoning it has been reasoned that the half of the One Power being used in the process of manufacturing the Angreal or Sa’Angreal determines the attunement. If it is Saidin being fed through the Seed, the (Sa’)Angreal will be attuned to men, if Saidar, women. With materials and attunement now explained and determined, It is important to discuss the Actual making of the (Sa’)Angreal. It has been determined that the Seed acts as a Conduit or a middle-man in the process. A channeler, male or female will channel the Power into the Seed. The seed will then take the Power being fed into it and amplify it, before allowing it to be sent into the object that has been chosen to become the (Sa’)Angreal. This process is very draining on those who undertake it. It requires long durations of channeling at ones capacity and dumping their very strength into the Seed. Once the Seed has collected enough Power and strength from the Channeler, it will begin to emit flows of the Power that the channeler has to direct into the object that will be the (Sa’)Angreal. This adds to the difficulty, as the channeler is now pouring their raw Power and Strength into the Seed, while directing the flows coming from the Seed into the (Sa’)Angreal-to-be. Once the Channeler has poured their Power into the Seed until no more can be drawn from them, A final weave is placed on the Angreal that makes it safe to use. This weave creates a buffer that makes channeling with an (Sa’)Angreal safe to use from drawing in more of the One Power than a channeler can handle, even aided. The Production of Sa’Angreal is almost exactly the same. The difference being that a Circle is used rather than an independent Channeler. This allows Exponentially more power to be fed through the Seed and into the item that is to become the (Sa’)Angreal. When a Sa’angreal is made, the Attunement is determined by the one who leads the circle. If it is lead by a woman wielding Saidar, it will be attuned to Women, and if by a man wielding Saidin, then Men. As with the production of an Angreal by a single channeler, Once the Seed has drawn everything it can from the Circle, it will stop, and the Buffering Weave is then placed upon the Item, concluding the process. Whether making an Angreal or Sa’Angreal, the process leaves all those involved drained and exhausted, even to the point of being unable to channel for months. It does not permanently weaken those involved. There is no fear of having ones Maximum channeling capacity reduced by this process, only temporary exhaustion. If an angreal or Sa’Angreal is used in the production of another Angreal or Sa’angreal, it is believed that the (Sa’)Angreal in the process will be less effective than it was before, as the Seed will draw some of its Strength from it and transfer it to the new (Sa’)Angreal. There are other dangers beyond Exhaustion as well. It is believed that those involved can find them selves so drained that their bodies shut down on them, as in the case of those facing starvation. The complete depletion of energy can leave one on the brink of death, making eating and resting well immediately after the process and absolute necessity. These dangers and costs explain why even in the Age of Legends, (Sa’)Angreal were not common. Few would be willing to drain themselves so completely and render themselves essentially useless for so long with out good reason. As such, it is believed that they were only made when great prices were paid for them, or when great need presented itself.
Perrin is on a river ship bound for Illian, feeling grateful that for once there are no wolves in his mind. There is no real escape for him, though. When he falls asleep, Hopper is there with him in the World of Dreams. Hopper has taken him somewhere, to show him an important event. It's a meeting, Ishmael has assembled a handful of his Darkfriends, to make an example of one for allowing Mat to escape Tar Valon, and to remind the rest; the three Ta'veren must die, and the three hunters must be captured and turned. The Darkfriends are dismissed, the Dreamshard shifts, and we see Lanfear and Ishmael confronting each other. Perrin now knows Selene is Lanfear, and how much time Ishmael has had to prepare for the Last Battle. Another shift, and Perrin sees Rand in Tel'aran'rhiod being tortured by nightmares sent by...someone. Rand doesn't believe that this is the real Perrin, and tries to kill him. Perrin wakes in time to save his own life. When he seeks Moiraine's help, she is able to tell him little more than that he is a Dreamer, and that is part of being a Wolfbrother.

In the aftermath of the fight, Gaul has left Remen to continue his journey, now heading toward Tear on Perrin's advice. Perrin and his party are rushing to leave Remen as well, before anyone can put together that he was involved in freeing the Aielman, and slaughtering a dozen Whitecloaks. Loial almost seems excited that he'll be able to add this part to his book. Lan finds a ship that will take the party toward Illian on short notice, and from Illian, they can head oversea to Tear where they should be able to intercept Rand. Faile and Perrin have a conversation where she explains to him how she knows that Perrin and company are important, and why she intends to follow them despite Perrin's attempts to discourage her. They have a brief discussion about Faile's name as they board the ship. She tells Perrin not to call her Zarine, but Faile; Falcon in the Old Tongue. Perrin realizes that another of Min's viewings is coming to pass, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Moiraine hears some news from an innkeeper that implies there's a new false Dragon in Ghealdan. Until she realizes he misspoke, Perrin smells something akin to fear from her. The Pattern will only make room for ONE dragon, there should be no false Dragons after Rand proclaimed himself. Though, the man speaking about Dragons was actually talking about a prophet of the Dragon. Masema. Perrin feels restless, and with out having a plan, he wanders back out to the town square, where a nameless Aiel is hanging in a suspended cage. On impulse he decides to let the man free, and they have a conversation. Perrin tells Gaul where He Who Comes With the Dawn is. Faile is watching, although we don't find out until later. It isn't long before an alarm goes up in the town. The wild Aielman is loose. A dozen Whitecloaks come running to save everyone from this terrible threat. A dozen armed men fight a blacksmith with an ax, and an unarmed, wounded Aielman. In the end, a few of the Whitecloaks are still breathing where they lay on the ground.

Wheel of Time Spoilers Episode 132 – TDR – Ch33 Within the Weave Perrin is tracking Rand with Moiraine and their party. He smells sulfur, and sees the tracks of the darkhounds that have been following Rand. Although, he doesn't yet know enough to understand what he's looking at. How does Rand continue to outpace Moiraine and her group, even without a horse? He's easy enough to track, for several reasons, but they just can't catch up to him. Perrin and Moiraine have an interesting conversation about the nature of good, evil, and the Pattern of Ages. The party enters a town called Remen, where Gaul has been captured and hung in a cage. Min told him that this was one of her viewings. Perrin knows this is an important moment. When the party gets their rooms for the night, a young woman is there who seems very curious about Perrin. The Falcon, another viewing. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.

A dock master tries to stop Mat and Thom from boarding a ship leaving Tar Valon, but as it happens, Mat has the 'permission' from the Amyrlin Seat herself. It's an action packed scene, for sure. The ship's captain believes Mat is a young lord in disguise, and prattles on trying to get information out him. Mat of course, doesn't have any to give. Although, the captain does give the two men some information about a new High Lord of Tear. We know this new lord is Be'lal, and he's been compelling the people of Tear through their dreams and more directly, to hate Aes Sedai and support their new lord. While the two are going to sleep, a group of darkfriends take over the ship, and attempt to assassinate Mat. He and Thom send them to their Lord save one who escapes. We'll see him again.

Mat wanders into the common room of an inn, and it just so happens that there is a gleeman name Thom Merrilin playing there. Thom is still mourning the death of his lover Dena, and he's hammered drunk. We'll spend some time talking about Rand's complex family tree, members of the nobility that Thom has assassinated, how some of those events have created civil war and general chaos in Cairhien, and spend a bit of time reading Thom's lines with our best drunk old man impersonations. Mat eats three chickens while convincing Thom to come with him to Caemlyn. Thom only agrees to go because he knows he'll be risking his life, and that suits his dark mood.

Anaiya pays Mat a visit in his sick room. She knows he's been stockpiling food, that he now has a weapon, and plans to escape. What she doesn't know, is that he'll actually get away with it. Mat needs to make some quick cash to pay his fair on a boat leaving Tar Valon. He ends up playing dice all night, and never loses once. We talk about Mat's luck, his Ta'veren abilities, and how his Talents are enhanced in various ways through out the series. With his pockets stuffed with gold, and drunk on winning, Mat wanders out into the night. He's being followed by assassins, manages to escape, and runs right into a grayman who is also hunting him. In a desperate move, Mat throws himself and the grayman off a bridge. It's only his luck that saves his life. The grayman hits the paving stones and stabs itself on impact. Mat lands on top of him. How providential. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Siuan pays a visit to the young women while they're working in the kitchen. She creates a diversion in order to speak with Nynaeve; consult with her hounds. Sheriam has 'found' a dead grayman laying in her bed. We speculate on how and why it got there, probably an implied threat. Suian tells Nynaeve that she never sent Else with the message about the Black Ajah's belongings. Nynaeve and Siuan know their group is being manipulated, and will try to use that knowledge to their advantage. Siuan has money left in Nynaeve's room, and tells them to prepare to leave for Tear immediately. The hunt is on.

The Hunters three visit Mat in his sick bed. Mat's discomfort with anyone being able to channel is something he never gets over. We talk about power dynamics between the genders in the Wheel of Time, and how channeling affects male/female dynamics. After a good deal of dissembling, the women had Mat one of their special writs from the Amyrlin, and send him off to deliver a letter from Elayne to Queen Morgase. This is his ticket out of Tar Valon.

For this episode we have on friend of the Pod Travis, long time listener and commentator on the WoTSpoilers Discord to discuss TDR Ch27. Verin walks into the kitchen while the young women are scrubbing pots to ask if they've found anything. Very suspicous. A few other Aes Sedai arrive after Verin to do and ask similar things. We discuss their motivations, and who might be pulling their strings. The young women head back to their rooms, and prepare to enter the world of dreams. They have no idea what they're doing, so this mostly consists of Nynaeve singing a lullaby to Egwene and she drifts off. She visits several places, and begins learning about Tel'aran'rhiod. She sees Rand, Perrin, Hopper, Lanfear, and Be'lal in the Stone of Tear, just before she wakes. We discuss all of this in detail, including the way these events are reflected from other POVs in later chapters.

We know about rats and ravens, what about other small carrion eaters like mice? Egwene sees mouse tracks in a dusty room in the Tower, are the wards fading already? We talk about Lanfear constantly uses compulsion on the people around her. We think the the silver belt she's always wearing is an item of power. Nynaeve makes a crowbar out of Air to break a lock open, it says a lot about her character. Nynaeve is also a blunt instrument. The women are learning quickly from their surroundings, not to mention from each other. The possessions although they are probably planted by Lanfear are all the women have to go on. They decide to spring what is most certainly a trap.

Egwene has had a whole menagerie of prophetic dreams. Don't panic! We'll discuss and interpret them all one by one. Else Grinwell arrives at Nynaeve's rooms where the three young women are going over their plans. Mat saw her on the way there in the last chapter. It isn't Else of course, it's Lanfear, there to feed the girls information under the guise of a message from the Amyrlin. “Else” tells the girls where the items left behind by the fleeing members of the black Ajah are being stored. When Egwene follows her to ask her a question, Else disappears around a corner. As Egwene comes around the bend, Lanfear is standing in front of her. Mask of Mirrors, compulsion, and deceit.

Mat wanders around the Tower grounds, trying to assess whether or not he can escape the grip of the Aes Sedai. He runs into Lanfear again, this time she's masquerading as Else Grinwell, but she's not interested in talking. Eventually, he comes upon the warder training grounds, and challenges Gawyn and Galad to a bet on a sparring match. Mat, of course, thumps both of them, at the same time. Everyone likes seeing those two humbled, especially by a farmer with a quarter staff.

Our friend Aradia joins us once again to discuss the aftermath of Egwene's test. Egwene has passed, and emerges from the third ring as everyone does, screaming, crying, and cursing. All is not right outside the rings, though. Suian is shouting orders at her Aes Sedai, who are all in as much of a panic as we ever see them. The dream Ter'angreal Verin gave her affected the function of the testing Ter'angreal, causing a 'resonance' that almost destroyed Egwene and the Ter'angreal both. Alanna describes it as getting so hot it felt as if it might either explode or melt it's way through the floor. Egwene has narrowly escaped death as she has and will again.

Friend of the pod, Aradia joins us for this chapter to discuss Egwene's testing. As Egwene leaves Verin's rooms, she's quickly intercepted by Sheriam. It's her time to take the Accpeted test, because Elayne just finished hers. Keep in mind the last handful of chapters all happen back to back. The girls have suffered an assassination attempt from Graymen, beatings from Sheriam, worked a long shift scrubbing pots and shoveling coal, still have not slept, and then are required to pass a test that very well may kill them. Elayne and Egwene get no sympathy, however. We see a description of the three ring Ter'angreal, the room it's kept in, and the small amount of information women are given before they enter it and face their fears. We discuss each life Egwene lives in each of the three rings, what they mean to her, and how these experiences ultimately effect her. We talk about the realities inside the rings, where and what they are, how they're created, and how and the reasons some women never make it back to the true world.

'Talent' is a collective name for special innate abilities of both people who can, and some who can not channel. For instance, listening to the wind, compulsion, and healing are all Talents that only a channeler can use. On the other hand, there are also Sniffers, Wolfbrothers, and Dreamwalkers – none of whom need the One Power to use their Talents.

Egwene has been summoned to Verin's rooms in the Tower. The Aes Sedai gives Egwene information on the 13 Black sisters who have fled the Tower, and a dream Ter'angreal. Verin withholds critical information from Egwene, and we know that all the information Egwene receives has been pre-approved by the Black Ajah but, the Ter'angreal gift was not. No one knows it exists, except Verin, and now Egwene. We talk about Verin's dual nature, and how she helps the hunters when and where she can while staying within her Black Ajah operating guidelines.

This is where TDR hits it's stride, and we're excited! Lanfear walks into Mat's room. He's stark naked, taken totally off guard, and under her spell. She's come of course to give her glory pitch to a nervous and naked farm-boy. We also know that Lanfear has been active in the tower recently. Her intent is difficult to guess, but we assume she's using the Black Ajah, or interfering with the plans of Mesaana or Be'lal. Lanfear seems to think that Mat will be the easiest of the three for her to manipulate, though, in reality Mat doesn't seem anymore easily swayed than his friends. Lanfear somehow senses Suian and Leane approaching the room and quickly disappears a moment before they enter. While talking to Suian, Mat confirms that Tam and Abel had been to the tower looking for Emonds Fielders. Unsurprisingly, they give Mat as little information as possible, making Mat suspicious of the Aes Sedai's intentions. Join the Conversation Donate Here
Mat wakes up in the Tower, not knowing exactly how he got there. He's been healed, and although there are holes left in his memory, we see him recollect a full page of memories from the Trolloc Wars – Aemon's Last stand, the battle that marked the death of ancient Manetheren, but saved a tiny remnant of it's people, Mat's own ancestors. We talk about the Old Blood connection, how some of Mat's memories are his own from his current life, his own from past lives, and the memories he gains from other people's past lives later. We talk about Mat's distinct ability to think strategically, even now, and how his way of thinking was influenced by his father. Mat left the Two Rivers as a simple farm boy. He wakes up here, from his near death experience, as something else, something greater.

WHAT, exactly, does the sniff sound sound like, and what does it mean? Tell us what you think! Sheriam leads Egwene and Nynaeve deep underneath the White Tower, where even Aes Sedai rarely go. Ten women have gathered to separate Mat from the Ruby Hilted Dagger, remove the infectious touch of Shadar Logoth from his body, and the threat it poses to the world, not to mention save the young man's life. This is the first time we see Vora's Sa'angreal, and such a powerful circle of female channelers. We spend some time on the mechanics of circles, and how they work. Mat screams in the Old Tongue; he writhes, screams some more, and in the end almost dies. Siuan and her chosen group however, are successful, if barely. Join the Conversation! Become one of the Chosen
Elaida walks into the room without announcement, to interrogate the young women about recent events. She's met Rand, and wants to know more. This is the beginning of her suspicions of Siuan. Elaida embraces the source, to menace the girls. We talk about her intent, and the way the young women perceived that act. Luckily, Sheriam walks in shortly afterward to bring the young women to Mat's healing. Sheriam – who just 'found' a Grayman in her bed. Don't worry, Seth, Patrick, and the Chosen in Discord put our heads together and talk about that. Join the Conversation If you'd like to buy us a beer we'll be YOUR fans.
Nynaeve doesn't appreciate the meddling curiosity Gawyn and Galad, and they're swiftly ejected from her room in the Tower. We discuss Egwene's switch in love interests in this chapter – a hot topic in our Discord Server. Siuan's plan is to make Nynaeve and Egwene her hounds to hunt the Black Ajah, and she knows that by default, they will let Elayne in on their plans. This is where it happens. Nynaeve suspects the Amyrlin is considering not healing Mat. We talk about Siuan's motivations, and the reasons she might not. Of course, she does decide to heal him. We believe it's for the sake of building a bond with her new hounds. Did you know you can help us improve out content by donating as little as a dollar?
Nynaeve and Egwene are on their way back to the Accepted's quarters when several soulless attack them. By luck alone a crossbow bolt misses Egwene's face. Nynaeve turns the air to gelatin around one of them, but when the women approach him, he's already dead with a dagger in his chest. Sheriam conveniently comes around the corner at that very moment. We believe she's there to ensure that the women are dead, and the Graymen were successful. Sheriam's plan has failed. Later, a dead Graywoman is left in Sheriam's bed, killed with the One Power – A Godfather style sign to Sheriam that she had best not fail again.

Siuan has kept Nynaeve and Egwene behind; she has a plan, of which she will tell them some – never all. Siuan tells them that the Black Ajah is real, and they've been killing in the Tower itself. She tells them that she intends to make the young women her hounds to hunt these pariahs. She knows of course, that Egwene and Nynaeve will tell Elayne what's happening, and that Elayne will insist in helping them despite what Morgase wants. Siuan also knows that the young women will be an effective tool in disrupting the plans of her enemies. So, she uses their willfulness and curiosity to set them on a course she's chosen for them. It works. Even after Siuan is deposed and stilled, her hounds will be out in the world, hunting. When they return, Siuan will place them in positions of power, to do what she could not; unite the Tower against the Dark One in a last battle, and save the world from obliteration.

Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are summoned from their rooms to the the Amyrlin Seat. They have no hint as to what to expect. They're surprised to say the least, when Siuan informs them they'll be raised to Accepted after being punished and humiliated publicly. Furthermore, Siuan plans on using them as 'hounds' to hunt the Black Ajah – the women who had recently killed Aes Sedai and many members of the Tower during their heist of important Ter'angreal, and subsequent flight from Tar Valon. There are some really great harshly worded monologues from Siuan in this chapter. Morgase has been to the Tower and left Elaida there on returning to Caemlyn, enraged by Elayne's kidnapping. Morgase demands Elayne's immediate return to Andor. Although, Siuan intends to keep Elayne in the Tower despite Morgase's wishes. We debate about how much influence Rahvin may have over her, and Andor at this point. Saturday morning cartoons, and dog toys in the after-show.

Verin and her group reach the small town of Darein, at the foot of one of the bridges that leads to Tar Valon. The streets are filled with soldiers, we assume this has to do with recent Whitecloak activity in the area. She brings the girls, Mat, and Hurin into the city. Hurin explains that he has no time to waste, he must leave immediately to warn the rulers of Shienar, and in turn the Borderlands, that the true Dragon has been reborn. We spend some time discussing how Aes Sedai constantly skirt around the three oaths, and what constitutes creating a 'weapon'. Verin gives the Horn of Valere to Siuan, tells her that Rand has proclaimed himself the Dragon, and we find that at the moment Rand struck down Ishamael, all other false dragons were in turn struck down by the Pattern itself, both in the same moment. Taim is later rescued from his Aes Sedai captors by Demandred and company. Having heard news of the Seanchan from Verin, Siuan decides to do nothing about them for the moment, having much more pressing issues to attend to than a defeated army on the other side of the continent for, better or for worse.

Egwene and Nynaeve have been traveling all winter. Verin has brought the young women, Hurin, and a now comatose Matrim Cauthon all the way to Tar Valon from Falme. Egwene is having prophetic dreams about Rand - we discuss their meaning. Nynaeve feels a 'storm' coming – the building tempest of the Shadow's war on the world. Her sense for reading the weather and the Pattern give us many big foreshadowings through the series, and we're paying attention. Lots of speculation on Verin's dual nature as a co-conspirator with Suian, and Moiraine, and also an unwilling member of the Black Ajah. The women have a confrontation with a group of Whitecloaks that does not go to Verin's liking. The confrontation reveals not only Egwene's new attitudes, but also, the knowledge of battle weaves she's learned from her time as a captive Damane. Verin doesn't seem to hurry to save Mat, she has her reasons for lack of concern. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Moiraine and Perrin have a conversation about the Wolfbrother Talent. She has almost no information for him, other than this Talent being strongly related to the World of Dreams. She reminds him that whatever he does, much of his future is likely laid out for him by the Pattern. Perrin goes to sleep, arrives in Tel'aran'rhiod, and there's a man there with him trapped in a nightmare. Perrin watches as the man is skinned alive. He will either wake up skinned, or be found that way, dead. He shifts and interrupts Lanfear at work in a basement somewhere. She shifts away, and Hopper arrives to shove him out of the dream, likely saving his life. Perrin wakes up horrified, covered in the blood of the unfortunate man from earlier. Rand hunts Darkhounds in the night. This is the first time we see him or anyone, use Balefire in the series. The Dark One's taint on Saidin is a powerful check on Rand. The wound in his side seems to break open whenever he's exposed to the taint, but he continues on, being driven eastward by the Darkhounds, toward Tear, the Stone, Callandor, and destiny.

The Party makes it's way down from it's winter camp in the Mountains of Mist, South and East in search of signs of the Dragon. Eventually, they come upon a small town called Jarra, where strange things have been happening. Weddings and parties that lasted for two days. Perrin can smell the booze on them. The townsfolk are all hungover, and those who joined the party single, woke up from their revelry married. It seems that there aren't any single people left in the whole village. Rand played the flute for all of the weddings, his Ta'veren nature though, is what caused them. Later, a small group of Whitecloaks arrived in town. Some declared the we're no longer Whitecloaks and left to join with, or fight against, the Dragonsworn. Some raved wildly, others assaulted women, those who were left sane managed to wrangle a handful of those that seemed to have lost their mind, and brought them back to Amador. A local man asks Perrin what Moiraine might be able to do for his brother, Noam, who we know much later as the wolf named Boundless. Noam is a Wolfbrother who has lost his sense of humanity, Moiraine of course can find nothing to heal. So, Perrin sets him free.

Perrin is awoken by Lan, who tells him that Rand has left the camp. We think this is when Masema really goes off the deep end, and so does Perrin. Rand has finally made his move, the one that Moiraine knew would come. Whether this is an action born of Rand's frustrations at inaction, the dreams he and anyone near him are having, or the Pattern itself pushing on him, no one seems to know. We think it's some combination of the three. Rand has proclaimed himself Dragon, but he has not proven it yet. There's one clear way to do that; take Callandor from the Stone of Tear, and so he's left to fulfill the prophecy. Moiraine and Perrin have an important conversation about the world of dreams. Moiraine sends Min to Tar Valon before the party leaves to follow the Dragon. Min tells Perrin about some important viewings she had regarding him before the group splits up, we'll break it down for you. You can add your voice and ideas to the podcast by joining our twice weekly book club for people who are re-reading WOT by following this Link.
Perrin has been awoken, and warned of an attack by the wolves through is dreams. He can see in the dark, hear, and smell the Shadowspawn wherever they are. Perrin is Dangerous to them. “Hamstring and throat, that was how wolves killed”, and so Young Bull does to the Myrddraal that attacks him. Although, the Neverbron are always long in dying. Lots of awesome fight scenes in this chapter. Perrin, a pack of wolves, Lan, Moiraine, and even Loial – a small army. “There was no honor in the way the wolves fought, no glory, no mercy. They did not come for battle, but to kill.” When the battle is over, and the wolves are hunting the Shadowspawn as they retreat, Rand leaves the camp unnoticed. He knows what he has to do, and believes he should do it alone. He is of course, wrong. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Perrin arrives in a dream, not knowing how he got there. This is a Dreamshard. Ishamael asks about his ax, and when he'll give it up. This relates to the Dark prophecy about 'The Blacksmith'. Lanfear and Ishamael try to get Perrin to drink from a cup. What's in it and why? Perrin misinterprets just about everything happening around him here, because Lanfear and Ishmael are using their skill in the World of Dreams to affect Perrin's memory of who the forsaken are, and where he is. They visit with him one at a time and attempt to influence some important decisions he has to make, each in their own way. Hopper moves Perrin to another place in TAR, an argument between some of the Forsaken, it's about what to do with Callandor, and Rand, then to another place, the Stone of Tear. When the wolves finally get through to Perrin, they have a simple message. “The twisted ones come.” WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Mountain wolves are repeatedly trying to warn Young Bull about shadowspawn, he continues to ignore them. The camp is being rebuilt after the earthquake caused by Rand. Leya, one of the Blue Ajah's eyes and ears, was injured giving us a bit of a red herring as far as Min's earlier viewing on her. Leya however, never returns to her wagons. Moiraine seems to know that something is up, and warns the camp to remain vigilant. We hear news about the Hunt for the Horn, an the Whitecloak's movements and actions on the Almoth Plain. We hear our first news of the Greymen searching for Rand, and killing anyone that even looks like him. Some of those deaths might be attributable to soulless men under the command of Jaichim Carridin. BEER in the aftershow.

When does Rand start losing his mind? The madness creeps slowly. Rand and Perrin both fight against their destiny. Min predicts the Death of the Tinker woman, Leya. Perrin correctly predicts an attack on the camp, though he continues to ignore messages from the wolves, which are probably a warning. Rand and Moiraine argue over whether to wait or to go help the people fighting and dying in the name of the Dragon on Almoth Plain. Perrin follows Rand to a fissure in the mountain wall. Rand recites a portion of the Prophecies, and notes that he hasn't been marked with the Dragons yet. Rand knows he must face Ba'alzamon again. And as he speaks, he feels Saidin calling to him. He can't resist the urge to channel, and with a sad smile, causes in earthquake accidentally – a signal fire for those who are hunting them. Rand asks Perrin about his dreams, not knowing that Perrin is protected in a way Rand is not. Perrin goes back to the camp, and Rand stays behind.

Perrin, Rand, and their small party have been waiting all winter, holed up in the Mountains of Mist, waiting for the pattern to spin their threads in the right direction. Moiraine has been receiving news from outside the camp from her eyes and ears, using Perrin as a kind of go-between. Through out the chapter Perrin is ignoring messages from the wolves, refusing to listen to what is probably a warning of the Shadowspawn that are hunting the Dragon's small party. The DO's eyes are watching. Perrin has a conversation about The Way of the Leaf with the Tuatha'an woman. We talk about the cyclical nature of violence in #thewheeloftime series, and discuss how #RobertJordan uses this theme all through WOT. In the after-show we have an interview with our friend Jeff Petrie at JordanCon. We talk a lot about the art of Ben Kelly of @redoceantattoo our first official sponsor. http://www.redoceantattoo.com/ WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

“His coming shall be like the sharp edge of the plow, turning our lives in furrows from out of the places where we lie in our silence.” Pedron Niall listens to Byar's report on the battle at Falme – the death of Geofram Bornhald, and a thousand Whitecloaks. Byar is convinced that the Darkfriend Perrin is responsible for their betrayal. We believe he may be under compulsion and go over our evidence. We hear reports of the Seafolk searching for their Coramoor, the Ogier calling meetings between the Stedding, and the rise and fall of several false Dragons. Carridin has also returned from the west, giving some similar reports. Niall orders Carridin to keep Rand alive, explains his plan to use the 'False Dragon', and assures Carridin that if he or the Dragon dies during this risky plan, so will Carridin. When Carridin returns to his quarters, there is a Fade waiting for him. This Fade was confirmed by RJ to be an early version of Shaidar Haran. Shaidar Haran orders Carridin to kill Rand, saying each month that the Dragon remains alive, one of Carridin's family members will die.
In this very special episode Seth and Patrick go to JordanCon. We interview Jason Denzel about the upcoming WOT show, and the story of dragonmount.com, Wilson Grooms, Robert Jordan's brother, about growing with Robert Jordan - Jim - and his war experience, and we have a round table discussion with our chosen who managed to make it to Atlanta. Thanks to our Patrons for sending us to the con to cover it for them. It really was a wonderful time. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Hey folks. Over the next few days WOTSpoilers will be in Atlanta at JordanCon. So, to keep up with our regular schedule we're releasing one of our Patron only episodes on the magic systems in the Wheel of Time. We discuss the differences between, Saidin, Saidar, the True power, Treesinging, Myrdraal's special powers, and a lot more. We'll be live from JordanCon via Discord on Sunday at 11:30 EST if you'd like to join in. Hope to see you there, and thanks to our Patrons for sending the Podcast to the Con. https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers
We've completed The Great Hunt. So, as is our tradition, we're releasing an episode made up of our trademark tangents. The Chosen have prepared a list of questions that we answer during this episode. Lots of speculation on the Wheel of Time TV show, perhaps we'll hear some news at Jordancon. We read constantly, and use this opportunity to talk about the other series we like including Mistborn and everything by Brandon Sanderson, Broken Earth, Kushiels Legacy, Wizard of Earthsea, sword of Shannara, and many many more. We talk a lot about our upcoming new podcast Mistborn Spoilers. Check us out on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Discord. Seth and some of the Chosen on Discord are starting a D&D game online, most of us have played table top type RP games in the past. We're really stoked that we've tapped into the awesome Wheel of Time fan community. The Friends of the Dark (podcast) are everywhere. The Chosen have also pledged to fly us to JordanCon which we're SO SO thankful for. It's going to be super cool to meet other fans while we're there, and we'll be making a special episode while we're at the Con. Each month, we inch closer to becoming full time podcast creators. It's crazy exciting. We got our first offer for a sponsorship as well, from Red Ocean Tattoo, a super talented artist out of Savannah, GA. We'd encourage you to go check out their social media, and go get some ink from them if you're nearby. See you at JordanCon.
Rand wakes, after being unconscious for five days following his fight with Ishamael, and receiving the Shadow tainted wound in his side. At that moment we know all the false Dragons are struck down by the Pattern itself. There is only room for one. Three of the seals on the Dark One's prison are now broken. Mat, Egwene, Nynaeve, and Verin are traveling toward the White Tower, while the Shienarans, Moiraine and Lan, Perrin, and Rand head east toward their winter camp. Near the new Dragonsworn, but not with them. Moiraine denies having sent Verin to Rand earlier. This is how we find out Verin lied, and is not bound by the Three Oaths as Aes Sedai who walk in the light are bound. We find another discrepancy between Patrick's very old copy of TGH and Seth's much newer digital copy. Lan does not need to sharpen his sword, although he is said to be doing so in many early versions. The Shienaran soldiers swear themselves to Rand. Duty is heavier than a mountain, Death lighter than a feather, and Rand makes a decision. Thanks to all our listeners for sending us to JordanCon. We'll be making an episode while there, made up of interviews and reflections from the Con.

In the aftermath of the battle for Falme, Min wanders through the streets feeling herself pulled onward toward Rand. He needs her, and his Ta'veren nature pulls on her thread in the pattern. She watches Birgitte burn the last Seanchan ship in the harbor, and stumbles across Rand's dying form, laying in the street. We believe Rand the farm boy dies this day, and Rand the Dragon is born. He receives the second heron brand, and the first wound in his side. Min lays next to him to offer him her warmth, which Rand will badly need throughout the series. Rand's sword was destroyed while stabbing Ishamael, we'll explain why. The next time Rand stabs him it's with a different kind of sword, Callandor, and they both die, in a way. Egwene walks into the room and there's an awkward exchange between her and Min. Min intends to take Rand if Egwene doesn't want him, and she tells her so. After Egwene leaves another woman who claims Rand enters the room. Lanfear. She heals Rand while tracing the dragons fang on his forehead, and tells Min to take care of him until she returns.

Kelsey and Aradia Host again for episodes 95 and 96. The party leaves Ingtar behind to redeem himself by delaying the Seanchan. He has Toh, and he settles it honorably. We talk about how lots of people had Mat grow on them. Post dagger Mat is much more lovable. Despite Ingtar's sacrifice, the party is slowly being surrounded. They discuss their options while they themselves now face death. It's Mat's idea to to blow the horn. No one objects. The sound it makes is as golden as the horn itself. Time Stops. A fog rises as the Whitecloaks begin their charge westward toward Falme, and the Seanchan march eastward toward the Whitecloak cavalry, with Rand and his party in between. Are the heroes horses heroes as well? After greeting Mat and the Dragon, Hawkwing tells Hurin that sometimes new heroes are added to their number. Who from this age might become join their ranks? Could Rand be one, or is the Dragon separate in each age? Lot's of interesting questions about the Horn of Valere, it's connection to the world of dreams, and whether or not Rand is always the dragon. We talk about some quotes from Robert Jordan about The Wheel of Time universe's cyclical timeline, and where his ideas for that came from. We also discuss the irony of Hawkwing leading the heroes against the armies of his own descendants. We spend some time on light and dark prophecy, on whether or not they're self fulfilling, and if they may sometimes be more trouble than they're worth. When Rand asks the heroes to help save Egwene, they laugh at him. Birgitte even points out that he's always having some trouble with a woman. When Rand battles Ishmael in the sky, he forces Saidin into his power-wrought blade. Is that Ba'alzamon is afraid of being struck and why he's eventually so badly injured by the wound Rand inflicts on him, and perhaps why the cloud of darkness enveloping Ishamael is said to scream when Rand strikes his opponent down.

Today's special Episode, as well as episode 96 will be hosted by by two of our awesome Patrons Aradia and Kelsey. Patrick and Seth take a step back and hang out in the chat channel and listen live for a change. When our Patrons ask we like to deliver. Whether they'd like to be on the show, or just have us talk about certain subjects. When Nynaeve charges into Egwene's rooms to save her, she immediately mentions her love interests. She feels like she's living a dream, and can't believe what's happening. We talk about her shifting interests and how that ultimately affects some important outcomes in the series. We discuss Egwene as a war time Amyrlin, and debate a bit about whether or she would be a decent leader in a post war world with special consideration toward Egwene's impulse to torture and kill Seta in this scene. Luckily, Nynaeve reigns her in with some wisdom on the concept of justice. A bit on the culling of channelers, and how that affects the various cultures in the Wheel of Time universe. Is Bela the real hero, simply rubbing off on the 'main' characters? Ingtar explains to Rand that he's a Darkfriend. He's been under compulsion, but he sees an opportunity to redeem himself when he realizes he can sacrifice himself to save the party having learned what his fate would other wise be from the Portal Stone accident. Rand does not tell anyone else, and let's him die with everyone believing he martyred himself for the cause. This allows Rand's party to escape. Death is lighter than a feather, and the ever victorious army can not always be so.

This is the chapter where Rand becomes a true Blademaster. He defeats not only High Lord Turok who carries a heron marked sword, but also Ishamael in single combat in a later chapter. One immediately after the other. Nynaeve, Min, and Elayne have their plan in place to rescue Egwene from the Damane kennels. Nynaeve releases a Damane from her collar, who promptly punches the Sul'dam, Seta, in the face and flees, leading us to believe she's probably Seafolk based on the description here. This is where we learn that a Sul'dam can be collared, and we spend some time discussing how the Seanchan testing works. When Ingtar finds out that Mat can sense the dagger inside Turok's palace he, in a crazed state, charges over a wall. The rest of the boys follow shortly behind. Mat finds both the horn and dagger right away, luckily, because there is an ambush laying in wait for them led by Turok himself. When the others scatter to attack the guards, we see what Mats dagger can do to man. It's horrifying. Rand is left to face the High Lord alone, and kills his first Blademaster. We believe Rand is able to defeat TWO Blademasters despite his relatively short amount of training with the sword for several reasons, listen and find out. This dark chapter ends with a healthy dose of ritualistic suicide, and the Seanchan armies marshaling in the streets. LOT'S of new Patrons to thank.

The five that Verin helps to choose ride forth toward Toman Head. She makes sure that the men she sends fit the prophecies that must be fulfilled. Ingtar, Rand, Mat, Perrin, and Hurin see many scenes of the destruction and death left behind by the Seanchan's Conquest of the area, its enslavement of female channelers, and the Whitecloak campaign in the countryside that follows afterward. This group of Seanchan call themselves the 'Forerunners'. This is only the prep work for the true invasion. Hurin of course, leads the effort to track what has become of the Horn of Valere, and Mat's ruby-hilted dagger. One thousand Whitecloaks, Rand's group of threads, and the Seanchan forerunners all converge at this place at this time. We talk about the compulsion Byar is likely afflicted with at various points in the series, and the fate of this group of Whitecloaks, and Perrin's important antagonist relationship with this group of fanatics. Five ride forth toward Toman Head, but only four will return. You folks getting excited for Ingtar's confession and martyrdom?

Nynaeve and Elayne stay in Falme while they plan how to free Min and Egwene. They sell their clothes, and buy some in the local style. Nynaeve has been practicing opening A’dam with the power, and she’s figured it out. They they run into Min outside the Damane stables, and the three hatch a plan to free Egwene. Free her from becoming a possession, a weapon, and a tool. Egwene is being tortured repeatedly, and even she can tell that she's near her breaking point. We talk about the A’dam, how it works, how one can be trained with it, who can use it, and why anyone will eventually be broken. Egwene is a powerful woman, and the Seanchan see her as an extremely valuable resource because of her strength and Talents in the power. Particularly her Talent for Earth. Finding and manipulating metals. In the after show we talk about how we engage people on social media. We’re two nerds in a basement guys, and we LOVE hearing from you. @mistborn_spoilers podcast coming soon. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Rand and his party arrive at Toman Head. We talk about the pronunciations of different cities and how we originally got most of them wrong. We bet you can relate. Captain Domon, is neither Damane, nor Domani, but they all have the same sound. Lots of these pronunciations are tricky, so we try to stick with the audio book versions. The weather is terrible and the boys ask Verin to do something about it. She refuses, we talk a bit about why. Sometimes it seems like Rand is already going insane, we talk about how s madness creeps. It's likely intentionally vague. The party continues to search for Fain and the Horn. Hurin finds the trail. Rand is visited by Ishamael in his dreams – A dreamshard created by Ishmael that is. He tries channeling to get rid of the man that haunts his dreams. This is definitely a 'Stretching' moment – something we've talked about in lots of episodes. As a channeler learns and grows, the harder they push themselves, and the closer to their breaking point, the faster they reach their final, full potential. Egwene and Rand have this forced upon them quite a bit. They're bound to the Wheel, and must reach their potential on time.

Egwene, Min, Nynaeve, Elayne, and Liandrin emerge from the Waygate at Toman Head. They're greeted by over fifty soldiers, including Sul'dam and Damane. A trap springs, Min stabs a soldier that grabs Elayne. Egwene is collared but turns and punches the Sul'dam in the face, making us proud. Nynaeve, in her anger, knocks over a large group of soldiers with a mighty wind. Several of the soldiers that pursue her and Elayne through the forest don't come back alive. Don't mess with Nynaeve, folks. Egwene's torture and training begins immediately, but so does Nynaeve's scheming. This trap was laid by Ishamael through Liandrin and Suroth. Nynaeve and Egwene are too important to Rand to be allowed to stay near him. Without Nynaeve Saidin doesn't get cleansed, Without Egwene the White Tower remains fractured, not to mention the new weaves they will invent and how many Forsaken and Black Ajah they neutralize. We spend some time talking about the Seanchan, the history of the A'dam, and the development of warfare in general on Seanchan continent. Although the experience and training leaves Egwene scarred forever, she learns a great deal, and is a much more powerful and dangerous channeler afterward. Fire to form the iron that she will become.

The Super Girls slip out of the tower to meet Liandrin at the Waygate. They pass easily through the halls, fetch their horses, then past the tower's guards, to one of the only #Ogier groves that is currently maintained. Liandrin is surprised that Egwene and Nynaeve brought Elayne and Min with them. That they're a larger group saves all their lives, though they don't know the danger yet. We talk about timing, Rand and the boys are flickering through many universes, and the ladies are in the ways, so typical time and distance mean little, but the events are lined up masterfully by #robertjordan We spend some time speculating on where Liandrin obtained her map of the ways. She navigates well, and they arrive at Toman Head after two days of travel. In the after show, we have LOTS of new #Patrons to thank. We talk about our upcoming. We’ll be reading through the series once before doing any recording, and give you any updates or points of interest. Feel free to DM us with any questions about the new project. If you like what we're doing with the Spoilers projects, you can buy us a beer, here Thank you to everyone who is already supporting us.
While Rand is flickering through hundreds of parallel universes, Egwene is studying in the White Tower. She learns about Saidar's drug-like addictive qualities, and feels rightfully afraid, but simultaneously compelled to continue channeling. She's made friends with Elayne the daughter-heir of Andor, and Min the only Doomseer currently alive. They talk about the ongoing wars in Tear, Saldea, Toman Head, Ghealdan, and a succession war that was just kicked off in Cairhien. Egwene's prophetic dreams about Rand have stopped, because he's no longer in the same universe as her. Nynaeve is learning that her temper is connected her channeling, and that she's far more powerful than most living Aes Sedai when she's angry. Min sees danger in the group's future. The danger of course, is Liandrin, who enters the tiny novice's room shortly afterward. She has arrived there under orders from Ishamael. She's to separate Nynaeve and Egwene from the Dragon Reborn. Ishamael and the Black Ajah understand that these women will be critical to facilitate the success of the light at the last battle. Without Nynaeve Saidin will remain tainted, without Egwene the White Tower will remain broken, not to mention the damage they ultimately do to the Black Ajah and the Forsaken. With out them, even if the Last Battle is won, the world has no future. Nynaeve is suspicious of Liandrin's story, and asks all the right questions. Liandrin doesn't answer any of them, and deftly deflects their attention by reminding them that the boys from Emond's Field need their help. We analyze everything she says, and ultimately come to the conclusion that Liandrin does not lie here, despite her ability to do so. The four young ladies eventually agree among themselves to go where Liandrin leads them, and not to tell anyone else where they're going. If you love what we're doing, buy us a cup of coffee And thanks so much for listening,
Alar leads the humans to a nearby Portal Stone, and explains that the Ogier had repaired it, but weren't able to move the stone in anyway. We talk about how we think the Portal Stones work, why they can't be moved to anywhere they're not supposed to be, and offer some head-canon on how we imagine the 'Lines of If' are connected and accessed. Verin is not strong enough in the Power to use a Portal Stone, so she explains to Rand in private, that it's all on him to reproduce something like what he had done once before, but this time, she gives Rand some idea of which symbols to use, and how a portal stone works. This next moment is a Major crux of the series. We see some of our first multiple futures, where the characters near the stone see what could happen should they make certain choices in their lives, hundreds or thousands of variables. Rand channels. Rand and Tam die on Winternight, because he never threw the tea kettle. Rand never leaves the Two Rivers, Egwene and Nynaeve manage to keep him alive to an old age. He was a soldier, he was a shepherd, he was a beggar, and a king, a farmer, gleeman, sailor, and a carpenter. He was born, lived, and died Aiel. He died mad, he died rotting, he died of sickness, accident, or age. Sometimes Moiraine comes for him, sometimes she does not. Sometimes other Aes Sedai came for him, sometimes the Red Ajah. Sometimes he marries Egwene, sometimes she kills or gentles him. But at the end of every life, a voice whispers in his ear. “I have won again, Lews Therin.” Is this the Dark One, or Ishamael? We Speculate on that, as well as on how easily everything could go wrong in Rand's life. When the Party arrives on Toman Head 3-4 months later, they have all lived hundreds of lives, and now have this opportunity to learn from their future mistakes.

When Juin ushers the humans in, there are Seven Ogier Elders who greet Rand, Verin, Ingtar, and the others. We talk about how old these Ogier are and what they look like. There are some wonderful descriptions, especially of Alar, the Eldest. The Eldest of Stedding Tsofu understands the great need our party has to use their Waygate, but the Ogier do not believe in acting with out consideration. Finding the Horn of Valere is a great need indeed, as is saving Mat's life, but Alar takes the time to explain to Verin, Rand, and Ingtar what could happen to them should the encounter the Black Wind. She then has a middle aged Ogier brought out, who was the last Ogier to travel the ways over a hundred years ago. He returned to Stedding Tsofu without a soul or a mind, but with his body intact. Verin hisses audibly when she delves the Ogier. Alar also brings up Loial to Rand. She can sense that Rand is Ta'veren and questions whether Loial has been pulled into Rand's Web of the Pattern. “You will look after him” Alar instructs Rand “And, when the weaving is done, you will return him to Stedding Shangtai”. Rand agrees, and in return Alar agrees to bring the Humans to her Waygate. Erith gives Loial a flower, which we think we can confirm, he carries for the rest of the series, or at least until he is married. When the Party arrives at Tsofu's Waygate. Machin Shin is already waiting there for Rand. After coming into contact with Padan Fain, Machin Shin is also now compelled to hunt Rand Al'Thor, and it will be for the rest of the series. Without access to the Ways, Rand's party quickly comes to the conclusion that another Portal Stone must be used. Luckily there is one nearby. Life is interesting with Ta'veren for friends.

The party that fled Cairhien Arrives at Stedding Tsofu. Ingtar continues to show signs of distress, likely an effect of Ishameal's compulsion during the Darkfriend Social. Loial is also reluctant to head toward the Stedding. He might be discovered and shipped back to his mother in Stedding Shangtai. We meet Erith, Loial's future wife for the first time. She mentions the Aiel and the Traveling people avoiding eachother. We also see the deep mistrust between the Shienarans and the Aiel until an older Ogier intervenes, and stops what could have ended up being a bloody fight. There are a lot of beautiful descriptions of what inhabited Stedding look like, and of Ogier culture. While Loial attracts the attention of the Lady Ogier, Rand attracts the attention of the Far Dareis Mai. Although, the Aiel women are disgusted by Rand when they realize he carries a sword. The Elders of Stedding Tsofu agree to meet with the Humans, and speak with them about using their Waygate. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Remember that short conversation between Rand and Thom at Barthanes’ party? Galldrian sure did. He sent men to investigate Thom, who end up killing Dena. Thom kills them and Galldrian, Barthanes is assassinated mysteriously at the same time, it looks like the work of a Golem. Someone fired Galldrian's granaries as well, possibly Barthanes. This throws Cairhien into chaos, and civil war, sets Thom on a path to better protect Rand’s assets in the future, and opens up the East for eventual consolidation under the Dragon’s banner. Fain hands over the horn and dagger to High Lord Turak. They have a fascinating interaction. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Hurin tells us a bit about the gossip in the servant's quarters. We talk about Rand’s creeping insanity, how that increasingly affects him as time goes on, and we speculate on when it begins. Hurin leads Rand and Loial to the stone enclosure that hides the Waygate. When Rand opens the gate to see if Hurin’s Talent works within the Ways, Machin Shin is there waiting for them, whispering Rand’s name. We talk more about how the interaction between Padan Fain and the Black Wind changed both. The Black Wind tries to escape the ways to attack Rand, but he manages to hold it back with Saidin while Loial closes the Gate. The party leaves Barthanes’ Manor, shortly before he’s assassinated. Who did it, and why? We chat about the X files and older sci-fi in the after show. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.

Rand and the party arrive at Barthanes' manor. Each person there has a purpose, Mat and Hurin's is to be disguised as servants and search the mansion for the Horn and the trail of the ones who stole it. Their unannounced presence causes quite a stir. We analyze Rand's conversation with Barthanes. Rand thinks he's making small talk, but everything that comes out of his mouth appears to be a deft maneuver in the Great Game to Barthanes. There's so much going on in this conversation, Galldrian's reliance on imported Andoran grain, and his obsession with expensive projects that make him appear more powerful, are perceived by Barthanes as weaknesses. Mat and Hurin find the trail of the Horn and Fain. It leads right up to a Waygate in Barthanes' garden. Rand talks to Thom Merrilin who happens to be there as an entertainer. They have an enlightening conversation which also sets off an important chain of events, specifically Dena's death, which is what leads Thom to eventually lend his support to the Dragon. We talk about the previous contact between the Black Wind, Padan Fain, AND Mordeth. Each interaction between these ancient evils changes and enhances their nature. Verin and Barthanes talk as well, we wish we knew what was said. Thanks to our Patrons for all your support, if you love what we do consider sending us a buck.

The innkeeper arrives at Rands door with more invitations. This time from the two most powerful houses in Cairhien. Hurin explains that these invitations can not be ignored. Rand has to accept at least one, or assassins will start coming after him. There is no way out of the city without being attacked by Fain. The longer they stay, the deeper Rand becomes tangled in Daes Daes'mar. When Rand leaves the inn to see if Ingtar and the Shienarans have arrived to bail him out, he returns to find that it's now a structure fire. Hurin was attacked, and the chest stolen. Loial and Rand manage to drag his unconscious form out of the building, saving him from being burned alive. Verin, Mat, Perrin, and the Shienarans arrive just a few minutes too late. We talk about how Rand has fallen into the leadership role Moiraine placed him in. Barthanes's manner was built in the last few years right on top of an Ogier Grove. It has it's own Waygate and that's where Fain is headed with the Horn and the Dagger, with the Black Wind to guard his retreat. While Ingtar despairs over the Horn, Rand tells Verin about the portal stone, and Selene. Does Verin know that Selene is Lanfear? She has all the clues, and has often understood more with less information. She DOES manage to come up with the strategy though, that will eventually get the Horn back. We believe the Pattern won't let Ingtar get to the Horn, ever. Was Barthanes at the infamous Darkfriend social? Was Verin? Could Rand have channeled using only the Choedan Kal with out the access key, is that possible?

In the wake of the early Seanchan invasion, Geofram Bornhald is in Almoth Plain under the orders of Pedron Niall, stirring up chaos. The Questioners are doing their best work to help, and Bornhald does not approve of their methods. We talk about the Seanchan navy, their encounters with the SeaFolk, and how that likely went down. Bayle Domon is stopped by a Seanchan ship and redirected to Falme for his ship's hold to be examined. We see our first example of a Damane in action. We also see the Seanchan's creatures, their military, and a member of the Blood. Lord Turak confiscates the seal to the Dark Ones prison that Domon has been carrying, and decides to keep Domon as a servant. Become one of the Chosen
As Perrin guides the Shienaran lances south toward Cairhien, the wolves tell him there are people in the mountains to the east. The Wise Ones have sent warriors across the Spine of the World in search of their Car'a'carn. Ingtar is desperate to find the Horn, either to hand it over to the Dark in an attempt to save Shienar from oblivion, or to the light in order redeem himself, we can't say for sure. Perrin learns of the one the wolves call “Shadow Killer” who has been killing Trollocs in the countryside. An Aielman emerges from the rocky terrain, and presents himself to the party. "My name is Urien, of the Two Spires sept of the Reyn Aiel. I am a Red Shield. Remember me." Other than Rand, he is the first of the Aiel we meet in the series. Verin and Ingtar question him, and we learn a little about Rhuidean, Aiel Wise-women, He Who Comes with the Dawn, and of course, Dancing the Spears. In the after-show, we discuss the Aiel Waste, how their clothing is well designed for sun exposure, Patrick's Wheel of Time tattoos, his experiences backpacking, and living outdoors in the SW United States. Even gingers can tan. We love chatting with our fans. Say hello on Facebook Instagram Discord or just Become one of the Chosen
We open with Loial trying to understand how Dena was able to beat him at dice so easily. Rand and Loial are attacked by Trollocs in the streets of the fore-gate. Rand kills one with is sword, and Loial kills another with his bare hands. Selene shows up out of nowhere, as usual, just as Rand and Loial are being chased to the edge of the city. Chased in the direction...of the Illuminator's compound. There is an inexplicably unlocked door that the party finds. Only one unbarred door, and it's the door Lanfear finds. How providential. What are Lanfear's motivations? Aludra is there, so close to the Dragon, and her fate is sealed from the moment Rand uses her night-flowers to effortlessly vaporize a small group of trollocs. Lanfear disappears as Rand and Loial make their escape from the compound. We chat about the mechanics of traveling with the One Power, and what it looks like. When they return to their inn, Selene has already left a note for Rand. What happens if the wrong person blows the Horn of Valere, would the pattern even allow it? In the after-show we talk about our Merch which is coming soon. If you love the Wheel of Time Spoilers podcast Buy us a Mug of Ale Thanks so much to all of you who are already supporting our Geeky project.
We talk about about the history of Cairhien, including the refugees of the Aiel war who live in the fore-gate community, and why Galldrian feels he has to placate that community using food, festivals, and fireworks. Rand starts receiving the infamous letters. It seems he's tangled in Daes Da'mar, but we know The Game is just tangling itself in Rand's web. While wandering around the Foregate, he runs into the king of the Great Game, Thom Merrilin. Thom quotes some of the Karaethon cycle to Rand in private, we believe he knows his quotes are relevant to Rand's life, although we're not sure exactly how much he understands. Thom also try's to break away from the Dragon here, but of course it doesn't work, it's already too late. He's part Rand's Ta'veren web, now.

Egwene is lead to her rooms in the novice quarters of the White Tower. A room she will share with Elayne Trakand. Elayne talks about how few novices there are, and asks about Rand. We talk about how the population of channelers has slowly been culled since the breaking of the world. By chance on their way to meet Min, the ladies run into a gentled Logain wandering the halls of the Tower, casually talking about suicide. Min also asks after Rand. She has a few viewings, and we explain them one by one. Gawyn and Galad run into the young women, and Galad is clearly interested in Egwene, but she's to starry eyed to notice anything, including Gawyn. We speculate on whether or not Galad can be taught to channel, there are some hints later in the series. Become one of the Chosen
We have our friend Aradia on to talk with us about Nynaeve's Accepted test. We speculate on what the test is, how it’s created, and where it takes place. We come to some interesting conclusions. We talk about the oath rod and Aes Sedai politics. Is channeling in the World of Dreams real, is it created the power, or the mind? Is “Just a weave” really just a weave? What is sin in the #wheeloftime universe? A bit of a Psychedelic after-show. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and we'd like to encourage you to join our conversations on Discord.

We wonder why the heading for this chapter is the dagger, but come to no real conclusions. Moiraine and Lan make a stop at the home of two retired Aes Sedai. They have a large library and Moiraine needs information on how to proceed. Not just from Adeleas' and Vandene's books, but from their minds. We talk about Moiraine's conversation with Vandene in detail. Her questions are very revealing. Lan and Moiraine have the infamous conversation about his bond being passed. We talk about Moiraine's thinking on the issue, Nynaeve's involvement, and how Nynaeve is changing the man Lan is already. A Draghkar swoops down on Moiraine while she's walking alone. We've got no way to prove it, but fans of the series agree, Liandrin sent it. We thank a bunch of new Patrons in the after-show and chat about our supporters posting about their thank you gifts.

The Innkeeper and guests try to make sense of Rand and his party. No one believes Rand's story, as usual. He doesn't look likes he from the west, Selene doesn't look like she's from Cairhien in the east, and why are they traveling with an Ogier? Rand's has a conversation with a Cairhienin military captain. Daes Dae'mar begins. Rand has no idea what he's fallen into, and that is his greatest strength. We believe Lanfear quickly dismisses herself so as not to be discovered by the captain who would know she's not from the local nobility. She disappears in the night, but leaves Rand a note. Captain Caldevwin has assembled an “Escort” of fifty men, to take the suspicious Rand, Hurin, and Loial toward the capital.

Rand, Selene, Hurin and Loial see the Choedan Kal being unearthed. Being near it does something strange to Rand. We speculate on this strange resonance, whatever it is that happens to Rand here even frightens Lanfear. They finally arrive at a Cairhienin inn, called 'The Nine Rings” a definite head nod from Robert Jordan to Tolkien's 'nine rings of mortal men doomed to die'.

While Rand waits for Ingtar to arrive, he catches “Selene” going through his bags. We speculate about why, but the crazy ex-girlfriend theory was most popular among our discord community. Lanfear wants Rand as her companion, to rule the world together, forever, and ever, and ever... Hurin spots Fain and his followers. “Selene” likely compels Rand to take Loial and scout the camp. “Remember the glory, Lord Rand”. Everything she wants, she gets. The void hides Rand from Fain's tracking ability, and in a daring maneuver Loial and Rand escape with the treasures pursued by trollocs and darkfriends in the night. Rand has a strange death wish moment, we think this has to due with the dagger's dark effect on his mind. Is the chest a stasis box. Will it protect the party from the dagger?

The Amyrlin's group speeds toward the White Tower with winds and river currents manipulated by Saidar. Siuan makes an appearance to give Nynaeve and Egwene their daily lesson. Nynaeve needs convincing, prompting a demonstration in what the power can do from Siuan. Nynaeve says she wants to learn something useful, and Siuan demonstrates a few useful weaves, ON NYNAEVE.

Rand, Loial, and Hurin find the Monument Ingtar had been talking about, but in this world, Hawkwing lost, and the trolloc army prevailed. Lanfear appears under the guise of 'Selene' a young Cairhienin woman being attacked by grolm. We believe Lanfear is using compulsion on everyone around her from the beginning of the interaction, influencing the thoughts and actions of Rand in particular. Although even for the Forsaken, Channelers like Rand, Nyneave, and Egwene are notoriously difficult to influence. Lanfear heals Rand's wounds, to build rapport? To create a link between them so she can easily track him later? Out of love? Either way, It's clear that the daughter of the night plans on taking over what was originally Moiraine's plan to catapult Rand into greatness, power, and renown. Rand manages to use another portal stone to transport the party back to their world without losing anyone. We talk about how unlikely that is and how much power and luck it takes. Even Lanfear seems impressed. We praise Discord in the after show, an application we've come to love. Join the conversation on discord HERE
We see Rand's first heron brand in this chapter. Don't panic! We'll go over this section of the Karaethon cycle for you. We talk about how time and distance work differently in the portal world, but Tel'aran'rhiod works the same no matter where you are, which is how Ishmael gets to Rand. Although, Rand 'wraps himself' in Saidin to escape. We speculate on when the timeline of this world diverged from Rand's, and what may have happened. Loial senses something strange and Treesings himself a weapon. Rand recognizes the song, it's in his blood after all. We talk about Ogier weapons, culture, and Talents a bit. Wheel of Time coloring book in the after show, and a few new Patrons to thank. Say hello to us and join the conversations on Twitter Facebook Instagram Discord
Perrin truly embraces his Talent for the first time, in much the way Rand has been accepting his own power, out of necessity. Rand, Hurin, and Loial have disappeared, and Ingtar is FURIOUS. Perrin's reluctant, but he knows that he could do Hurin's job with the help of the local wolves. Perrin finds out that the wolves have named him Young Bull, and Rand has earned the name Shadowkiller. The wolves are enthusiastic to help in the hunt for Fain and his Shadowspawn. Ingtar knows about Perrin's Talent, but advises him not to tell anyone else; there are some who might misunderstand, despite wolves being considered good luck in the Borderlands. The wolves quickly lead Perrin to the edge of a village the Trollocs have desecrated, and the party is being followed as well, by Verin. Verin tells the hunters that Moiraine had sent her to them; a verifiable lie. Verin will have felt the massive amount of Saidar Lanfear used to Transport Rand with the Portal Stone. VERIN KNOWS.

Why is Suian in such a hurry to get to back to Tar Valon? Verin gives us an info dump on Wilders. How does that relate to Rand an Nynaeve? The girls are tutored by a series of Black Ajah Aes Sedai on the way to the Tower. We talk about Male and Female channelers training each other, birth control weaves and herbs.

We spend some time discussing Fain, and how he has been effected by three types of dark powers. This creates a sort of synthesis of the three, and turns him into something new.

Lan instructs Rand on how to act and walk with the Amyrlin Seat. She manipulates him into chasing after the Horn, and reveals she knows he is the Dragon Reborn. We talk about Nynaeve's new ability to feel a storm coming, and Lan shows up give her his ring. Nynaeve and Egwene talk about boys, and we think about Egwene bonding Galad rather than Gawyn.

We see the end of a meeting between Moiraine and Suian, as they conspire to aid the Dragon Reborn. We speculate on what it takes to become bound to the horn? The WhiteCloaks lead by Bornhold meet up in a decimated town under the direction of Jaichim Carridin, a darkfriend. Liandrin uses compulsion lite on Lady Amalisa to search for the three boys.

Rand's escape is foiled by orders to lock the gates of Fal Dara's keep. We speculate about where these orders originated. While Rand continues trying to find a way out, Suian will have spotted him. She has the Talent of seeing Ta'veren. She gives no sign that she knows who he is, though. Lanfear is tracking Rand. When runs into Mat, Perrin and Loial, and tries to drive them off for their own protection. Egwene finds Rand and tries to hide him in the dungeons with Fain.

We speculate on what Fain is now, and why Lan can't sense him as a creature of the dark. Machin Shin sniffs out the delicious human souls and minds, and begins to pursue them. Moiraine has to cut a locked waygate open to escape, but who locked the gate? We see how channeling is twisted in the ways, and that The Black Wind can be injured.

Mat has been healed for the time being, but cannot be separated from the dagger. We talk about his lost memories, how they're filled back up, his luck, and how we think that works and came to be. We talk about a silent mutual understanding that passes between Loial and Moiraine, what wasn't said out loud, and how much of WhiteTower politics Loial already understands. A little on how Egwene and Rand constantly misunderstand each other and when the Tuatha'an learned the Treesinging songs from the Ogier. 'The Song' is likely a metaphor. Moiraine learns about the boys' dreams, and is visibly worried, although Perrin already has protection. Moiraine plans the party's next move, through the ways and past the horror of Machin Shin.

Rand has sprinted all the way back to The Queens Blessing, which is still being watched by white cockaded street toughs. We talk about how domestic animals react to, and seem to be able to sense when the One Power is channeled, or maybe just the channelers themselves. Rand relays his story, Master Gil is in disbelief, but Loial has already come to a conclusion. Ta'veren make for good books after all... The Whitecloaks show up at the inn looking for Perrin and Egwene, but back away from the confrontation they've asked for. Moiraine and Lan arrive, with the Emond's Fielders in toe, and we see a cheerful reunion, although Mat is bed ridden, sick with the evil of Shadar Logoth. We talk more about how darkfriends and shadowspawn can sense the dagger. Moiraine sets a ward to keep the rats away, does what she can for Mat, and the party, with Loials help begins planning their next move.

Rand is laying on the ground of the palace garden, with his head ringing. Elayne immediaetley has a crush on Rand, and Rand on her in return. We also get to meet a brand new, and large cast of characters, including Queen Morgase, Gareth Bryne, Elayne, Gawyn, Galad, Elaida Sedai, and more. The introduction and subsequent interrogation by Morgase and Elaida scares the hell out of Rand, and he barely makes it out of there with out ending up in prison. Elaida has an important foretelling that we talk about a bit. And unbeknownst to them, all of these newly introduced characters are likely now pulled snugly into Rand's Ta'veren web. Rand narrowly escapes the encounter with his freedom, but does anyone else? WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord.
