WoT Spoilers

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. We see our first glimpse of Tar Valon and Dragonmount. Sheriam Sedai meets the girls when they arrive. Lots of stuff for Patrons this week. Swag is in the mail, and our special episode on Mesaana was just released through Patreon. Thanks for all your support, we love all you folks in the WOT fan community.

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? We praise Discord in the after show, an application we've come to love.  WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

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.   WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

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 party is being followed as well, by Verin. Verin tells the hunters that Moiraine had sent her to them; a verifiable lie. She will have felt the massive amount of Saidar Lanfear used to Transport Rand with the Portal Stone.  VERIN KNOWS.  WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

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.   Moiriane, Verin, and Liandrin take off, and we think about where and why they go. Egwene has dreams of Rand, and sees Lanfear take him to the Portal World.  Aftershow: Women in fantasy literature, and sleep schedules.  WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

Rand finds out that he's second in command; Moiraine's doing.  Perrin tells Rand to run, but only if he can.  Perrin knows he certainly can't run from his own fate, but perhaps his friends can.   WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.
