WoT Spoilers

“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. 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. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

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. Please remember, Seth and Patrick are two nerds in a basement who would rather be creating content full time, than working our 9-5s.  You can help us create the content you love, and become full time podcast creators by donating on Patreon

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. 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.  WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

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. 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. 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.  WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

In the aftermath of the battle for Falme, Min wanders through the streets feeling herself pulled onward toward Rand. 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. 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. If you love what we do here, WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

Kelsey and Aradia Host again for episodes 95 and 96. The party leaves Ingtar behind to redeem himself by delaying the Seanchan. 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. 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? 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. 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. 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 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. Death is lighter than a feather, and the ever victorious army can not always be so.  WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

This is the chapter where Rand becomes a true Blademaster. Nynaeve, Min, and Elayne have their plan in place to rescue Egwene from the Damane kennels. This is where we learn that a Sul'dam can be collared, and we spend some time discussing how the Seanchan testing works. 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. 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. We're so grateful that our listeners are sending us to JordanCon. We would not be able to do it without your support. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

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. 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? WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.
