WoT Spoilers

Egwene and Nynaeve have been traveling all winter. Verin has brought the young women, Hurin, and a now comatose Matrim Cauthon all the way to Tar Valon from Falme. Lots of speculation on Verin's dual nature as a co-conspirator with Suian, and Moiraine, and also an unwilling member of the Black Ajah. The women have a confrontation with a group of Whitecloaks that does not go to Verin's liking. The...

Moiraine and Perrin have a conversation about the Wolfbrother Talent. She has almost no information for him, other than this Talent being strongly related to the World of Dreams. Rand hunts Darkhounds in the night. This is the first time we see him or anyone, use Balefire in the series. The Dark One's taint on Saidin is a powerful check on Rand. The wound in his side seems to break open whenever h...

The Party makes it's way down from it's winter camp in the Mountains of Mist, South and East in search of signs of the Dragon. Eventually, they come upon a small town called Jarra, where strange things have been happening. A local man asks Perrin what Moiraine might be able to do for his brother, Noam, who we know much later as the wolf named Boundless. Noam is a Wolfbrother who has lost his sense...

Perrin is awoken by Lan, who tells him that Rand has left the camp. We think this is when Masema really goes off the deep end, and so does Perrin. Rand has finally made his move, the one that Moiraine knew would come. Whether this is an action born of Rand's frustrations at inaction, the dreams he and anyone near him are having, or the Pattern itself pushing on him, no one seems to know. We think...

Lots of awesome fight scenes in this chapter. Perrin, a...

Lanfear and Ishamael try to get Perrin to drink from a cup. What's in it and why? Hopper moves Perrin to another place in TAR, an argument between some of the Forsaken, it's about what to do with Callandor, a...

Mountain wolves are repeatedly trying to warn Young Bull about shadowspawn, he continues to ignore them. The camp is being rebuilt after the earthquake caused by Rand. Leya, one of the Blue Ajah's eyes and ears, was injured giving us a bit of a red herring as far as Min's earlier viewing on her. Leya however, never returns to her wagons. Moiraine seems to know that something is up, and warns the c...

When does Rand start losing his mind? The madness creeps slowly. Rand and Perrin both fight against their destiny. Min predicts the Death of the Tinker woman, Leya. Perrin correctly predicts an attack on the camp, though he continues to ignore messages from the wolves, which are probably a warning. Rand and Moiraine argue over whether to wait or to go help the people fighting and dying in the name...

Perrin, Rand, and their small party have been waiting all winter, holed up in the Mountains of Mist, waiting for the pattern to spin their threads in the right direction. Moiraine has been receiving news from outside the camp from her eyes and ears, using Perrin as a kind of go-between. Through out the chapter Perrin is ignoring messages from the wolves, refusing to listen to what is probably a wa...

“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...

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....

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.

Rand and his party arrive at Toman Head. We talk about the pronunciations of different cities and how we originally got most of them wrong. We bet you can relate. Captain Domon, is neither Damane, nor Domani, but they all have the same sound. Lots of these pronunciations are tricky, so we try to stick with the audio book versions. Rand is visited by Ishamael in his dreams – A dreamshard created by...

Egwene, Min, Nynaeve, Elayne, and Liandrin emerge from the Waygate at Toman Head. They're greeted by over fifty soldiers, including Sul'dam and Damane. A trap springs. Egwene's torture and training begins immediately, but so does Nynaeve's scheming. This trap was laid by Ishamael through Liandrin and Suroth. Nynaeve and Egwene are too important to Rand to be allowed to stay near him. We spend some...

While Rand is flickering through hundreds of parallel universes, Egwene is studying in the White Tower. She's made friends with Elayne the daughter-heir of Andor, and Min the only Doomseer currently alive. Nynaeve is learning that her temper is connected her channeling, and that she's far more powerful than most living Aes Sedai when she's angry. Liandrin arrives under orders from Ishamael. She's...

We talk about how we think the Portal Stones work, why they can't be moved to anywhere they're not supposed to be, and offer some head-canon on how we imagine the 'Lines of If' are connected and accessed. This next moment is a Major crux of the series. We see some of our first multiple futures, where the characters near the stone see what could happen should they make certain choices in their live...
