WoT Spoilers

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 invite Tar Valon After Dark on to our traditional between-book tangents episode! We talk about the overall story beats of the book, our feelings about the trailer, and a bunch of other topics.   Tar Valon After Dark: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tar-valon-after-dark/id1557299284  Recappa Sedai/Wheel Talk: https://www.youtube.com/c/WheelTalk  Nae’Blis: https://www.youtube.com/c/NaeBlis  Jess/The Amylin’s Study: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheAmyrlinsStudy    Join the conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/YtWvCnS  Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers  Sign up for SpoilerCon news: http://www.bit.ly/SConNews   Email us: wotspoilers@gmail.com   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/wotspoilers  & https://twitter.com/spoilercon?lang=en  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wot_spoilers/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WOTSpoilers/

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. Content warning: more discussion about Tylin’s lack of respecting Mat’s boundaries, even when called out on it.

Seth and Aradia welcome back Collin from RandlandTVPod to watch the trainwreck of Mat & Co heading into the Rahad to finally retrieve the Bowl of the Winds. The gholam introduces itself via brutally killing one of Aradia’s favorite minor characters, and Elayne starts learning how to swear.

Mat is reeling from his encounter with Tylin, and has a morning of unpleasant and confusing surprises. The party prepares to retrieve the Bowl of the Winds from across the river. Nalesean is sleepy. Content warning for extensive Tylin discussion; assault is uppermost in Mat’s mind. SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th 2021!
