WoT Spoilers

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. Egwene has a very full morning of dealing with Aes Sedai, ending with a Halima-induced headache.

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.  SpoilerCon: Will be held on October 1-3 in Portland, OR Currently planning an in-person/digital hybrid event Follow on Twitter (@spoilercon) and subscribe to newsletter (bit.ly/SConNews) to get updates 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 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.
