WoT Spoilers

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.

Enarra comes back to help us close out the epilogue of Lord of Chaos. Lots of reading out loud for this one! This is the end of Era 2 of the saga of the Dragon of Time, and the midpoint of the series, congrats to us for getting here. The Lord of Chaos is indeed ruling. Goodbye Herid Fel, too bad you couldn't light that pipe with your mind. This is our first sighting of a golem, which calls to mind this periodic reminder:  http://www.steelypips.org/wotfaq/1_dark/1.6_beasties/1.6.2_gholam.html  Link to Aradia and Seth’s version of Karethaon Rhapsody for the Dusty Wheel parody challenge:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AMaYIY99jw  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

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.

Brett from The Wheel Weaves podcast returns! We discuss tea tangents, humor with horses, Verin as a “yes man,” the weaknesses of the Mirror of Mists, and what a combination of Downton Abbey and The Witcher would look like.

The Supergirls arrive in Ebou Dar, meet Tylin Quintara Mitsobar by the Grace of the Light Queen of Altara, and make several incorrect assumptions. Aes Sedai name soup in the category of M. Positive feedback loops are usually negative. Time is not a wheel, it is a puddle.
