Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where it is time for us to ask RJ why he made prenatal care such a mystery in a queendom. We have a ton of fun looking through ter’angreal with both Elayne and Aviendha in the room, and realize that Avi could have graduated in this chapter if she really wanted[...]

Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where it is time for endless innuendo while the siege of Caemlyn happens. We debate the literal or metaphorical purpose of the random storm, learn where Charlz Guybon really comes from, and glare at a myriad of Chekhov’s Swans. We also thank new Patreons at the top and talk about the[...]

We are joined by a long-time listener and fellow podcaster to cover the Beetle Chapter! In addition to getting too invested in calculating beetle mass we also debate the ecological wisdom of making forkroot into a cash crop, critique the assassins’ choices, and discover exactly the pathway by which Aradia found their way to WoTSpoilers.Sweet[...]

This week we join Perrin as he meets our second-favorite Seanchan. We enjoy the bright colors of Seanchan armor, marvel at the logic of a lethal bureaucracy, and wonder about the efficacy of forkroot on various levels of channeling experience.

It’s the Darkfriend Social 2.0! You don’t want to miss Seth’s Aran’gar voice, or our revisionist history of how the Forsaken should be living and dying at this point in the story. We also question Aginor’s sexuality and compare the merits of headaches vs all other body pains. Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha: https://www.kitrocha.com/series/bound-to-fire-steel/[...]

Moving from the slopes of Dragonmount into the White Tower, we are immersed in analogy as well as an irrational love of Beonin.

Welcome back to the Wheel of Time Spoilers podcast, where it is time to speculate about the Oath Rod’s functions and dimensions, who is or is not in the cover scene artwork, and name salad made with iceberg lettuce.

In this week’s episode, Seth and Aradia are like Verin and Nessune, while Min and Loial are like Seth and Aradia. Did you also miss the ridiculous use of the word Taint in this section? Do you also headcanon that Verin is actually swole? Why does Elza hate lightning but not thunder?Donate to the Entertainment[...]

In this week’s episode, the word of the day is “coruscating.” Beonin and Delana are lying about different things to the same end, while Seth and Aradia calculate the height of Dragonmount with different methods to reach the same (ish) answer.

Hello WoTSpoilers fans! There is no episode this week, due to a last minute recording cancelation, BUT, I do have something for you. I’ve got a new podcast! Here’s a taste of what it will be like: Welcome to episode zero of the Hot Nuance Book Club! Today we’re just letting you know that we’re[...]

It’s bath time! The much-maligned, much-anticipated, larger-than-life bath is finally here!!! This is a chapter of water and sass, as the Sea Folk and Andoran nobles alike get a taste of what Queen Elayne Aes Sedai is going to be like. Our Winter’s Heart sections are some of the juiciest writing we’ve had in a[...]

Will Aradia remember who Sareitha is today? Is Seth right about changing jobs being a skill? Have you heard the dulcet tones of our guest before today? Shar from WoT In Color joins us for a walk down the hallway towards a bath, discussing women in male-dominated workplaces, the color of beryl, the exhausting power[...]

Will Aradia remember who Osangar is today? Was Seth right when he predicted that The Slog was going to be the podcast’s time to shine? Have you noticed that the dead always appear at crossroads? What is the value of mythmaking to national identity? What is the nature of being “wise?” All these questions will[...]

Faile goes into Hedgehog V2 as the Shaido settle into Malden, Seth gives us a lecture on Roman concrete, and Aradia finds allegory in the ash. Aravine attaches herself to the party, the Brotherless are unsettled within the work camp they’ve helped to create, and Cyndane is stuck in the woods.WH Ch35 section: Cyndane (audiobook[...]

We plough into a second double-header with Perrin this week, this time with returning guest Chad, who is (like the rest of us) only here for the timeline sync with the Cleansing. We come up with firm evidence that Annoura is actually Demandred, apply the “salt bae” meme amidst two Darkhound lore drops, compose new[...]

We plow into a double-header with Perrin this week, as he plods through recap, Darkhound footprints, and clear signals of despair from Aram. Aradia asks what exactly is the difference between the Shaido and the Dragonsworn that follow the Prophet, Seth has a new favorite pun, and neither of us understands the significance of the[...]

We are joined today by our very favorite Podcast of the Dragon, Morgan! She requested this chapter because we get some very interesting writing about the Seanchan social order, and she does not disappoint in finding non-sloggy insights in the conversations between Almurat and Karede and Ajimbura. Lots of fun tangents in the aftershow including[...]

Mat gets his circus plot moving forward with pithy dad-advice for Olver, and the first of many visits to Tuon’s wagon. News of Tylin arrives from Ebou Dar and a summons to the Aes Sedai wagon reveals that something big is going on up north. WH Ch35 section: Barmellin POV (audiobook timestamp 29:20)Check out our[...]

Seth does his best circus barker impression to start off a chapter that refuses to stay on the rails. Valan Luca’s headcanon background gets new chapters, Aludra gets a lot of love, we debate if RJ might have watched reality TV, and Aradia gets rudely awakened to an incorrect headcanon they’ve carried for years. WH[...]

We’ve reached chapter 1 of Crossroads of Twilight, which means we can finally start on chapter 35 of Winter’s Heart! The wind of the opening paragraph sweeps down onto Mat and Noel, perusing the aftermath of their exit from Ebou Dar. Rand & Co exit Far Madding and return to the last save-point in their[...]

Today we cover some serious name salad in the POVs of Gabrelle, Yukiri, and Gawyn. Does Seth spot a Seanchan scout? Can Aradia be convinced how of Darkfriend Hearts work? What is a jackdaw? What kind of a week did we just have? All that and more, in part 2 of 3 of this prologue.[...]

New book!!!! With a truly giant prologue!!! Today we cover Ituralde and Valda’s POVs, and also revisit where we were in 2003 when this book was first published.

Our last normal episode of Winter’s Heart! Cadsuane cleans up Nyneave’s mess and pulls Rand’s bacon off the fire, at the cost of Aleis’ political career. Aradia fails to comprehend the connection, despite Seth’s best attempt to compare it to real-world examples. Pre-show update about the earthquake in Turkey & Syria; post-show update on Seth’s[...]

Rand & Co have spent over a week failing to find anyone in Far Madding, while Seth and Aradia did find a pretty cool trivia question for the hardcore WoT fan. Lan dispenses advice to live by, Nyneave doesn’t fully think through her actions, Min and Verin both push Rand towards Cadsuane, and Fain brings[...]

At long last, we get to leave Ebou Dar! In a very non-sloggy chapter! Seth crafts a new headcanon about why Mat had to break a vase, while Aradia wonders if golam can be distracted by laser pointers. We also debate who would win in a fight between Selucia and Noal, and giggle at how[...]

Today’s episode is very short, as a run-up to next week’s significantly heftier chapter. Mat does his best Ocean’s Eleven impression for his final day in Ebou Dar, Seth finds more evidence for Vanindred, and Aradia is gleeful at seeing a bit of Snakes & Foxes foreshadowing with Olver.Get ad-free episodes through our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers[...]

Returning to Ebou Dar, we hang out with Mat for an in-world week. During that time Aradia learns how an a’dam works (you’d think they know by now, but not so), Thom reveals some of the magic behind the curtain of rumor as a weapon, and our favorite Domon Ex Machina appears to fix Mat’s[...]

Elayne, Birgitte, and Aviendha walk into a Boarderlander camp… This feels like the start of a joke, but without a rooster in the mix I’m not sure where to take it. Elayne basically lies to get what she wants, Birgitte scowls in peak warder fashion, and Avi gets called a “black-eyed Aiel” which confuses your[...]

Welcome to 2023! We start today with a Patreon thank-you and an update on our lives over the break. We are well and truly slogging through the Heart of Winter, and hope you will stick with us through these less scintillating chapters.

Buckle up, we have a major name-salad set of chapters to get through today, as Cadsuane steers a ship of powerful yet petty women into Far Madding after Rand. You’ll notice some very rough edits, because even with visual aids and a geography degree, Aradiapedia managed to get some critical details very backwards. While untangling[...]

On an island shaped like a Star Trek communicator, four different perspectives make up a chapter that has been referenced by the podcast for years because we get multiple long-standing mysteries explained in plain text. We also get more Origins puns, a couple of geology tangents, and catch Aradia in a rare moment of pure[...]

What happens when a rogue Seanchan intelligence agent concludes the wrong thing about the events of book two, then follows his suspicions with no oversight all the way into book 9? You get Bethamin unwillingly thrust at Egeanin, which prompts Bayle Domon to team up with Mat’s escape party, that’s what! Also a super-duper hard[...]

Mat has a “dear diary” chapter montaging what his life in Ebou Dar looks like after Tuon arrives.

Seth and Aradia return from their break, on the eve of SpoilerCon2022, to cover a chapter that lives in infamy both in-world and in the fandom.

Elayne wakes up to Nyneave healing her the traditional way; with bed rest and scolding. After butting heads for a while, they enter the World of Dreams to meet with Egwene, and we get lots of juicy plot points AND dress descriptions. Who is the person that closes the door with a click??? Then we[...]

Elayne is settling into the business of running her nation, including the economic side of things. Do you know what “alum” is? We didn’t, and you can learn along with us about how critical this definitely-not-aluminum material is! After a morning of meetings, lunch and tea are served and then promptly interrupted by Dyelin with[...]

We really settle into Elayne’s succession plot in detail in our last double-header episode for the time being. The streets of Caemlyn are not sure about the Daughter-Heir’s claim, and her enemies are not intimidated by her apparent military strength. An attack on Aringill brings her back into the palace, where tangled plots by Sea[...]

Our third and final double-header installment of the Perrin/Faile plotline for this book! Perrin wakes up from nearly being frozen and is promptly saddled with news and a corrosive rumor, all thanks to Berelain. Then he collects the grudging allegiance of Cha’Faile, gets a vague sense of the Aiel he is following, and watches as[...]

In a second double-chapter serving of WOTS, Faile flails through freezing fantasies of foiled fortunes. Along with her two queenly companions, she meets Therava, Galina, and Sevanna, becoming enmeshed in three separate but related plots that ultimately go… somewhere? Neither Seth nor Aradia approve of how nudity, or the danger of frostbite, is used here.Get[...]

The Podcast of Spoilers records, and episodes come and pass, leaving memories that become memes… that’s right, it’s chapter 1 of a new book! We begin the so-called “plotline of doom” with Perrin greeting every member of his party in a cinematic montage of walking and discussing the obvious dangers posed by traveling with Maseama.[...]

Recorded live at WoTCon! The “after show” is us talking through our experience of the Con a week after getting home.

We open today’s episode with a somber nod to the reality of Roe v Wade being overturned. After a number of tangents that merit being put at the end of the episode, we return to Elayne as she descends to the palace basement to undergo the First Sister ceremony. We both think the ceremony is[...]

Welcome to season nine of WoTSpoilers! We will be breaking the prologue into parts, because it is one of the longest in the series. On summer solstice we start Winter’s Heart, returning to just a few days before the end of Path of Daggers. First we check in with some Aes Sedai name-salad in the[...]

For our traditional book-wrap-up episode we have Morgan @PodcastOfTheDragon and EgweneFanboy aka Chad to talk with us about all that has happened, in the books and in our lives, during the period of time in which we were podcasting through Path of Daggers. Our timeline starts in October with SpoilerCon, spans the TV show and[...]

Today we are finishing the last chapter(s) of Path of Daggers! Multiple POV switches have us set up for plotlines that take a full three books to resolve, from Perrin meeting the Prophet, to Egwene taking a single significant step through a gateway, to Faile meeting Rolan. We also consider how our choice of role[...]

Sometimes, in the fog of war, things move very very quickly. Explosively quickly. Min and Rand are struggling to manage expectations around Elayne and the captive Aes Sedai. Verin’s knowledge and manipulation from the beginning of the book is paying off, much as Rand’s plans with the Black Tower (or lack thereof) are reaping him[...]

We are joined today by a long-term fan of the podcast, Margeau Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah, to discuss a very dark chapter. Elayne is nearly home to Camlyn and the start of her ascension plot when a murder in the group proves there is a Darkfriend among them, while inside the city Daved[...]

Today’s chapter feels like a drawn out epilogue to events a book or more in the making. Rand learns of the details of his Bargain with the Seafolk, the consequences of avoiding the Maidens for so long, and a footnote from the user’s manual of Callandor. Aradia admires Min, and Cadsuane cowers for no one.Make[...]

We wander through the corridors of the White Tower and get lost in a maze of quaternary characters and their intersecting plots. Seaine and Saerin are in the same room, and this will probably be the last time we are able to keep them distinct. Pevara is a super cool character despite being a Red,[...]

While Egwene and Rand are managing their wars, Elaida remains in the White Tower and attempts to control events. If only she knew how much of her actions were not her own, as her council is approaching Darkfriend Social levels of infiltration. Alviarin makes the first of her two returns, breaking up Elaida's regathering power[...]

We are joined today by longtime podcast fan Jason Denzel of Dragonmount! He's got an amazing RJ story to share about this chapter in particular. We also have multiple opportunities to linger on favored headcanon discussions in between multiple POV switches throughout the last day of Rand's war against the Seanchan in Altara. This podcast[...]

We are joined today by podcast fan Yair to discuss the part of Rand's Altara campaign that goes right. We meet Furyk Karede and Aliva (briefly), create a romance between Anaiyella and Ailil with no real basis in canon, struggle to wrap our heads around how the terrain influences the military strategies of both sides,[...]

We are joined today by Chad, an Egwene Fanboy who also loves the dismal arcs of Rand's campaign in Altara. We see the scene that Darrell K. Sweet depicted for the original cover art of Path of Daggers (learning a secret in the process!), dissect who paid Eagan Padros, and marvel at the Seanchan legacy[...]

Rand is surrounded by the fog of war, treachery, and inclement weather. Narishma retrieves Callandor. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show? So did we!

Egwene is making her move for power in the Hall! All the work that she and Suian have put in over the last several months is coming to fruition, and Gareth Bryne is all in. Our guest today is Morgan @PodOfTheDragon, who expertly schools us on the motivations of each of the Sitters in the[...]

The Amyrlin Seat is as weak and shaky as it will ever be, literally and figuratively. Egwene pauses the army, and deftly maneuvers through two rounds of Romanda and Lelaine trying to control her. Selame and Meri go missing, while Halima digs for information. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show? So did we![...]

A real oatmeal-rasin cookie of a chapter! Rand interacts with several notable asha'man (and one meaningless servant) while juggling plans to deal with both the Seanchan and the taint on saidin. Seth focuses on Rand's inner turmoil, while Aradia provides a crash-course in how ocean waves work. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show?[...]

WoTSpoilers returns to our regularly scheduled programming! We get back into the swing of podcasting by rejoining Rand as he attempts to manage the aftermath of ousting Sammael from Illian. This is the Rand we love most, relate to most, and think of when we try to describe him as a whole. Lordly name salad,[...]

A very spicy chapter! Sevanna’s power is being tested to its limits as the Jumai Shaido take stock of being scattered into Ghealdan, and a power struggle with Therava takes them into Perrin’s path. Meanwhile, Galina is suffering greatly as she is broken down by Wise One cruelty, but that is nothing against her fear[...]

We are joined again by AmyLee, to continue discussing Perrin. The books are changing as the heroes change, and Aradia has their mind blown about Perrin’s hammer. Elyas reunites with Perrin and offers some strange (if effective) marital advice; the queen of Ghealdan arrives and Faile plots to make sure she won’t leave; the weather[...]

Seth and Aradia get up early in order to talk with a guest from Denmark, who stays up very late to cover two well paired Perrin chapters. AmyLee has always empathized with Perrin and the tangles he navigates, and Perrin is surely enmeshed in many tangles in the different camps that he is trying to[...]

Neither Perrin or Faile really understands what is going on with the refugee group they picked up, while Morgase/Maighdin and Tallanvor strongly disapprove of Lord Perrin Goldeneyes. Lini and Basil Gill provide some comedy, cha’Faile starts to be a useful tool, and the weather is beginning to respond to the Bowl of the Winds.  Are[...]

Perrin considers the merits of sending Faile or Berelain to collect the queen of Ghealdan, and then just happens to cross paths with Morgase & Co as they fight with some of the Prophet’s zealots. This is the beginning of Perrin  quilting together an unlikely army with more than its fair share of queens.  Are[...]

Today we are joined by Cayla, who won the SpoilerCon silent auction item of a guest slot on the podcast!  This is the chapter where Elayne tries to unweave a gateway and ends up tricking the Seanchan into thinking there is a huge One Power weapon in the hands of their enemies.  Did you miss[...]

The party arrives at the Kin’s Farm, causing chaos because they have a darkfriend in their midst. Ispan is taken into the care of Adeleas and Vandine, sealing their doom. After much bickering, and more angreal sorting, the party heads uphill to use the Bowl of the Winds. Using the Bowl of the Winds is[...]

A wind rises, and we begin to walk the Path of Recap with a protracted exodus from Ebou Dar by Elayne, Aviendha, Nyneave, and company. We get a rare section from Aviendha’s POV, but all she’s seeing is the Sea Folk, Aes Sedai, and Kin not getting along. Shifting to Elayne, we consider the minutia[...]

We return to our normal studio recording environment to finish up the prologue of this book. We are PODcasters now.  We get a rare peek inside Verin’s POV as she weaves imperfect compulsion on the Aes Sedai prisoners in the Aiel camp, then shift to an equally intriguing POV from Moridin at a chessboard. Sure[...]

Recorded live at Spoilercon 2021! We tackle the Boarderlander section of the prologue as the final event of the Con on Saturday night. Video of the show can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3QswfgIuHA  #ImageDescription: a picture of Seth and Aradia doing the live recording of the chapter. They are sitting at a long table, each holding[...]

We invite Tar Valon After Dark on to our traditional between-book tangents episode! We talk about the overall story beats of the book, our feelings about the trailer, and a bunch of other topics.   Tar Valon After Dark: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tar-valon-after-dark/id1557299284  Recappa Sedai/Wheel Talk: https://www.youtube.com/c/WheelTalk  Nae’Blis: https://www.youtube.com/c/NaeBlis  Jess/The Amylin’s Study: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheAmyrlinsStudy    Join the conversation on[...]

We are joined today by Jason Denzel of Dragonmount again, because we talked for so long that the chapter had to be split into two parts. Illian gets a terrifying lightshow to accompany the thunder of an invading army pouring through giant gateways. The Saldaeans take the city without much fanfare, while Rand and Sammael[...]

We are joined today by Jason Denzel of Dragonmount, an early supporter of the podcast that helped put us on the map! We talk for so long that the chapter has to be split into two parts. Rand wakes up from his post-dagger healing coma when news that his war against Sammael is engaged barges[...]

The penultimate chapter of the book! We catch up with how Galina Casban has been doing over the last week, watch Sevanna be petulant, witness the Shaido Aiel get scattered to the wind, and see Shadar Haran get frustrated with its limitations.   Check out Seth and Aradia making a guest appearance on Tar Valon[...]

We are joined today by a longtime friend of the podcast, Canadian-Kelsey, to watch Mat have one last huzzah before disappearing under a collapsing wall for the next book, much to Seth’s dismay. Mat “bargains” with the Sea Folk on behalf of Nynaeve and Elayne, and gives us a treasure trove of information about the[...]

Seth and Aradia welcome back Collin from RandlandTVPod to watch the trainwreck of Mat & Co heading into the Rahad to finally retrieve the Bowl of the Winds. The gholam introduces itself via brutally killing one of Aradia’s favorite minor characters, and Elayne starts learning how to swear. Content warning: discussing reactions of various cast[...]

Mat is reeling from his encounter with Tylin, and has a morning of unpleasant and confusing surprises. The party prepares to retrieve the Bowl of the Winds from across the river. Nalesean is sleepy. Content warning for extensive Tylin discussion; assault is uppermost in Mat’s mind. SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to[...]

Seth and Brett from The Wheel Weaves tackle this chapter without Aradia, because schedule conflicts induced by JordanCon ripples.   Rand faces off against Toram Riatin in a duel, which is going well until Padan Fain invokes an evil fog and slashes Rand across the side, giving him the second of his two wounds as[...]

We are joined again by Call Me Nakomi! We discuss the nature of ta’veren, and what is evil, very extensively. Rand and Min sneak away from the Maidens and into a big mess, wrapped in a silk tent. Caroline Damodred reminds us that Moraine will be making a return, eventually. SpoilerCon registration is open now,[...]

Rand goes to see the Sea Folk sitting at anchor in Cairhien at long last, has his PTSD get triggered by the interior of their ship, and gets manic in response. Ta’veren works on everyone aggressively, leading to ever more dramatic results.  SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th 2021! Get[...]

We are joined in a post-Jordancon-glow by Jay from RandlandTVPodcast! Rand and Min have The Talk. The Maidens give Rand a bath. We all agree that this chapter is a bit of a miss from RJ. Content warning for discussions of sex and trauma.  SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th[...]

Seth is at Jordancon, Aradia is not, and we are going to swing a quick recording! New podcast art is unveiled!  Many Aes Sedai that never show up again, show up here. Darkfriends and chaos ensue as Elaida receives news of Dumai’s Wells and the impending disaster at the Black Tower. Alviarin gets the upper[...]

Aradia is joined today by prior guests on the podcast, Talyre from the WOTS community and artist Ariel Burgess, to discuss a very highly valued scene that changes multiple worlds in the span of a short afternoon. Nyneave is being rowed out to the Sea Folk for a meeting, when waves of balefire push her[...]

Jaichim Carridin inspires Elayne to tell the Aes Sedai to respect her, and it works! Moghedien acts impulsively, setting the stage for a long-awaited change in Nyneave’s fortunes. SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th 2021! Get your tickets at https://www.spoilercon.org/registration  Will be held on October 1-3 in Portland, OR Currently[...]

Trigger warning for a long discussion about sexual assault, because this is THAT CHAPTER where Tylin imposes on Mat to the utmost extreme. Today Seth is absent from the recording, and Aradia brings in Gus from Wheel Takes to discuss this infamous scene that generates some of the most hotly contested content in the entire[...]

With Maureen from Dragonmount! She’s been on the pod before, a loooong time ago.  Mat moves into the Tarisin Palace. He is frustrated by Nyneave and Elayne, cornered by Tylin, and unappreciative of lemonade. He is fighting adulting as hard as any of us. Silk sheets aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, and more[...]

Aradia and Seth are alone on this chapter, fittingly. They are both surviving the heat dome crushing the Pacific Northwest, much as our characters are surviving the touch of the Dark One on the weather. Perrin leaves Rand to fetch the Prophet, a quick trip that definitely won’t define his story for the next several[...]

We are joined today by Rob from Malkier Talks! https://www.youtube.com/c/malkiertalks  Morgase is in a very dark place, and her companions are as trapped as her. They are liberated by a fiery turn of events as the Seanchan attack Amadecia out of nowhere. Suroth parades the former Panarch of Tarabon and a damane who was once[...]

SpoilerCon merch is arriving, and it is wonderful! Get yours today: https://www.spoilercon.org/shop  We are rejoined by Recappa Sedai again! Go check out Aradia’s appearance on Wheel Talk talking about Pride and queer representation in the Wheel of Time and other books:  https://youtu.be/b0BSVXH3BrY  Moghedien has a no good, horrible, very very very bad day, and we[...]

A quick chapter in which basically nothing happens. The Kin are introduced and explained, a kidnapping attempt fails as quickly as it starts, and Nyneave is upset at her lack of aging. SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th 2021! Get your tickets at https://www.spoilercon.org/registration  Will be held on October 1-3[...]

Elayne and Nyneave are led across Ebou Dar by Satalle Anan to meet with Reanne Corly, suffering extremes of embarrassment and indignity along the way. They don’t learn what they want to learn, but the visit will lead to useful outcomes…. eventually. SpoilerCon registration is open now, from June 15th to August 15th 2021! Get[...]

Seth and LezbiNerdy continue on without Aradia for another chapter, in which Nynaeve and Elayne suffer indignity after indignity at the hands of Satelle Anan, on behalf of Mat and their quest for the Bowl of the Winds. High quality tangents abound. CW for egregious talk of sex, sexual anatomy, and sexuality. Check out LezbiNerdy[...]

Seth welcomes LezbiNerdy to the podcast, without Aradia because schedules are challenging sometimes. Mat nearly gets kidnapped, is snapped at by Caira, and has the first of many long and unique conversations with Birgitte. Nyneave and Elayne get upset over this turn of events, but they haven’t begun to realize how challenging (or useful) respecting[...]

With Matt from Dusty Wheel! We discuss how Sevanna is an Aeil Karen, and we want to know more about all the ter’angreal that RJ never expounded on. Sevanna calls Sammael and Graendal to discuss the aftermath of Dumai’s Wells, which annoys both of them tremendously. Sammel is mostly very stupid about these interactions. Moridin[...]

We are joined today by Collin from Randland TV Podcast! Cadsuane interviews Aes Sedai, and Seth schools us on several interesting facts about her from RJ’s notes. We ship Annoura and Berelain. Aes Sedai name salad ensues, and we tangent onto discussing the differences between Jordan’s and Sanderson’s writing. Cadsuane doesn’t approve of any of[...]

We are joined today by CallMeNakomi from YouTube! Rand is juggling a dozen nations and allegiances, including Aes Sedai, when Cadsuane Melidrin casually waltzes in and upsets everyone. Rand is mad and angry, while Narishma is a perfect boy scout. News of Herid Fel’s untimely demise arrives. We develop an intriguing Cadsuane origin story hypothesis.[...]

We are joined again today by Morgan, Podcast of the Dragon, who recently made an appearance on the Way Of The Leaf YouTube show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtFhJltHENk).  This chapter contains several points of view, and a near kidnapping. Ispan and Falion fail to get the information they want, and Teslyn masterfully manages Joline. Is Mat sleeping with[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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).[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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. SpoilerCon Newsletter dropped on the night of April[...]

Aradia interprets the language of fans, has no idea where the phrase “the pot calling the kettle black” comes from, and is swayed by Seth’s conspiracy theory that Colavere didn’t actually hang herself. We also ask the most important question in the books: can Verin do the sa’sara? SpoilerCon Newsletter dropped on the night of[...]

Recappa Sedai returns for part two-of-three of getting Perrin back to Cairhien and Faile. Some rare irritation at Loial comes up, all knowledge of Winter Dragon is banished, and a record-setting number of tangents keep us off-track. SpoilerCon announcement: the first newsletter is published! Details about the Con in October are starting to come out,[...]

We are joined by Brian, who plays Recappa Sedai on YouTube, to help us flesh out content over the next few chapters in which Perrin slowly and anxiously returns to Cairhien in the aftermath of Dumai’s Wells. But first, we have to tackle the physics of gateways, with a little help from Carl Sagan. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnURElCzGc0)  [...]

Brett from The Wheel Weaves podcast comes back to help us spot even more Aes Sedai hypocrisy in the aftermath of Dumai’s Wells, discover that there is a fantasy trope about throwing items into volcanoes, and question Loial’s journalistic tact. There is also a discussion about beards. SpoilerCon: Will be held on October 1-3 in[...]

Thom (of Dragonmount, JordanCon, TarValon.net, & WoT community show) returns to help us read in the wind as it sweeps over Dumai’s Wells. We imagine what the lost nation of Coremande was like from only three textual references, give RJ the benefit of the doubt on writing toxic masculinity, and wish that Loial could sit[...]

Seth and Aradia go guest-less to finally wrap up the prologue’s fourth part. Patreons get thanked at the top of the episode, and a new Patreon-only reward is announced at the end. Announcements about SPOILERCON Will be held on October 1-3 in Portland, OR Currently planning an in-person/digital hybrid event; this could change because pandemic[...]

With Thom of Dragonmount, JordanCon, TarValon.net, WoT community show, and an awesome Perrin cosplay. First, we go on a prologue tangent about prologue writing, to start a trend of  massive tangents all about life, the universe, and most things. We ponder a new possible reason for Fel’s demise, Seth struggles with names, Aradia struggles to[...]

With Malkier Talks! Rob joins us for Dumai’s Wells 2.0, dad jokes, and discussing how our parents view our podcasts. Sevanna is a bad batch of homebrew evil, with no Fain required. Eflame - the dating app for WoT fans.  Malkier Talks’ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZXswsuLZIhYKlDICALD6HQ  Rob’s WoT Song parody: https://youtu.be/CIOqAeZXkHM  Aradia and Master of the[...]

Starting a new book! In a new format! At a new recording time!  We invite Jess the Amyrlin back to take on the first quarter of this very long prologue. We spend a lot of time on the opening prophecy, the land is one with the Dragon, etc etc. Elaida’s clock inspires a Night Circus[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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. Find Brett and Dani working through a first-time read on The Wheel Weaves podcast at: https://thewheelweavespodcast.libsyn.com [...]

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. Join the conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/YtWvCnS  Contribute on[...]

Megan returns! This episode is dedicated to her brother Matt for this Mat chapter, because sibling love. Seattle Anne… ahem, sorry, let me check my notes…. Setalle Anan appears for the first time. We think that MalkierTalks on Youtube needs to tackle a recipe for “potted larks.” Elayne is basically Alexis Rose from Schitt’s Creek.[...]

Part 1: Aradia and Morgan sympathize with the anxiety of Perrin meeting his in-laws, and Seth joins in to discuss relationships with age gaps. We also imagine Fourth Age nations and their potential. Faile doesn’t want to be Queen of Saldaea. Part 2: Morgan and Seth wrapping up the chapter the next day. Demira has[...]

Discord Dad joins us! Aradia is offended by the excellent design of octopus eyeballs; a mantis shrimp would be an excellent superhero. We debate the uses of the warder bond in the Last Battle, consider Julin’s toh, and snicker at how much Mat trusts himself. The Color of Trust song from YouTube -  https://youtu.be/31afeiVj6aM  Sakan’s[...]

New Patreon names get read at the top of the episode, and then we are joined by Anna of the Grey Ajah of our Discord (and artist who created the Fox and Raven logo) to discuss if Min is a horse-girl in addition to the inventor of high heels. We also cover other important topics[...]

SuperSkyLake from Discord watches with us as Rand makes his last visit to the Black Tower. LTT believes in Taimandred, Rand believes he is Superman, and we think Superman is an Asha'man.

Charlyn of the podcast Unramblings joins us to discuss Min and Rand. We agree that Min is a weapon hidden inside a sexy lamp. There are many kinds of love, but it is rare that putting a relationship on a pedestal is a good idea. Sulin wears an odd costume, and we are pretty sure[...]

We are joined by long-time Discord member Tabernus aka Fred, a false bartender who used Wheel of Time to get through college. Aradia learns about lead glass, and Seth finds more reasons to see Demandred in Vanin. Mat and Thom discuss a cautionary tale about a bootmaker, while Elayne and Aviendha reunite and compare notes[...]

Mat offers many possibilities to Egwene, and also surprises. They patronize each other like siblings, while Nyneave resorts to violence to make her point. Elayne focuses on the bigger picture. Sheriam gets easily misled. Aradia and Seth debate how the mental trick of ignoring temperature extremes works in the books, and in real life. SpoilerCon[...]

Mat makes a fool of himself in Salidar as Seth juggles on camera for the WoT-A-Holiday Podcastathon, hosted by Malkier Talks as a charity livestream for the Lightweaver Foundation. Aradia reprises her favorite line from Verin and babytalks at Timber aka the Nae’blis of the podcast.   Watch our portion of the stream on YouTube[...]

@enarra returns to discuss how Nyneave and Elayne confess (some of) their secrets to Egwene, who in return tells them (some of) the ways in which she is going to change the world. Romanda and Lelaine are so similar, they might as well be one person, who clearly needs to be named “Romaine.” Join the[...]

Aradia allows Seth back onto the podcast to discuss a new day in Salidar. Egwene wakes up to complete her transition to Amyrlin, much to Elayne and Nyneave’s relief.

Aradia executes a coup with new guest Megan for discussion of this chapter, in which Egwene meets the Salidar Six plus Suian, and goes through a profoundly important ritual that just happens to include (what some might consider) an excessive focus on Aes Sedai being topless.

Alex London reads us into a very intense “peak Jordan” chapter, full of meaning for us and the characters alike. Egwene prepares to leave her life as an Aiel, but not without meeting her toh to the Wise Ones first. Olver forces Mat to play yet another game of Snakes and Foxes, until Rand drops[...]

Egwene is extremely restless and spins her wheels for a while. When she finally gets to return to the World of Dreams formally, she recieves an unwelcome and disturbing summons.

Aradia has things to say to you before we get started. Eamon Valda arrives in Amador, and has an important conversation with Asunawa. Pedron Nial juggles plots, much to Balwer’s consternation. Morgaise has a bad day, though arguably not as bad as Paitr.  Aradia and Seth hotly debate who knew what when, and who is[...]

Joe from Talk’aran’rhiod returns yet again to enjoy the freedom of a Spoiler-full podcast! Aes Sedai ignorance and experience blend into intense whiplash for Nyneave. Suian gets the second-most profound shock of her life, and runs with it. Delana offers comfort, and Halima arrives in Salidar. Catch Joe and Tom from Talk’aran’rhiod chatting with Seth[...]

Wheel of Time Spoilers 312 – LoC – Ch 28 – Letters  New episode is live at https://wotspoilers.com!  Another chapter with Bambi! This time we are discussing the nature of Rand vs LTT, how the world is expanding by adding names to obscure characters, Herid Fel’s outsize impact on the plot, Rand’s attempts to brush[...]

All the way from the Land of Madmen, we are lucky enough to get another guest appearance of our very own Egwene, aka Bambi the Captain-General of the Discord Green Ajah! Seth also takes time at the beginning of the episode to read off new Patreon names, and extends a massive “thank-you” to all the[...]

Seth invites Joe from the Talk'aran'rhiod showcast back to talk about their journeys finding WoT fans over the years, their feelings around book spoilers vs show speculation, and the nuances between LTT vs Rand al’Thor. Alanna’s emotions are bouncing around as wildly as Rand’s geographic position. A Whitecloak assassination attempt adds to The List, and[...]

She comes! She comes! The M’Hael of SpoilerCon, partner to Ogier, our very own Talyre herself! (Have you forgotten the Black Ajah?) Talyre joins Seth to discuss the importance of this chapter to both her teenage-self, and to her present self. Egwene has come far from the girl who left the Two Rivers, taking agency[...]

Jackson returns to ask tough questions such as “is a bittern actually a cittern, an RJ invention, or just a typo?” Egwene is really feeling herself as an Aiel in general, and as an apprentice Wise One in particular. Elida’s embassy arrives, full of confidence that they will bring Rand back one way or another.[...]

Seth welcomes new guest Jackson to discuss a chapter from the book that was the latest to be published when they both found the series, and they happily rehash Who Killed Asmodean. What message is being sent between Sammael and Graendal? Do either of them even know? Seth sure doesn’t! Sammael is a puzzling enigma[...]

Heading south... to Tear, and to hell in a handbasket. RJ uses even the colors of pebbles to foreshadow this epic fantasy, and still manages to keep some of the Aes Sedai plots murky! Mat gets some fan-love and the family of the Band of the Red Hand coalesces as Chel Vanin is introduced, Talmanes[...]

My Loial…. MY LOIAL! My Loial…. MY LOIAL! My Loial…. MY LOIAL! Rand exerts his ta’veren nature to drag three Ogier into Shadar Logoth, opening the door for multiple significant moments that resonate throughout the remainder of the series. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.  You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord. [...]

Pre-Con jitters lead to significant tangents in this one. Fortunately, we have rambling Ogier to overshadow us and give us tantalizing exposition via history lessons of the larger world. Rand respects Ogier more than any human culture, but also doesn’t mind rushing them into decisions that they might refuse if given time to consider. It[...]

Seth can’t keep the names straight, but Aradia is here to keep him on track. Rand is hangry, LTT is having nightmares, and we debate how different Tigrane and Elayne really are. There are many noble non-entities, few notable Aiel personalities, and many candidates for The One Who Is No Longer. Aftershow includes the nuances[...]

Seth and Aradia are joined by Joe and Tom from Talk’aran’rhiod showcast to discuss the non-canon short-story Fire In The Ways by Brandon Sanderson during SpoilerCon2020.  Fox and Raven Media is a community that uses podcasting to reread our favorite books with Spoilers in mind.

Seth and Travis welcome first-time guest Alex R. London to discuss the boxiness of Cairhien, the boxes Rand is already in, the boxes he will be in, and why he wishes he could be alone in his own head for a minute. While this episode was recorded, the Pacific-Northwesters can also taste wildfire smoke in[...]

The Wheel of Time and the wheel of a man’s life turn alike without pity or mercy. It would be easier to have a mad voice in your head if it made sense, wouldn’t it? The nihilism gets pretty strong. What is the difference between a diadem and a tiara? More information about Sharra leads[...]

The episode starts with puns, be warned. Piles of hints dig into our brains, while Egwene ignores most of what is going on in hers. The Pattern is headdesking so much with all of these prophecy dreams that our characters don’t take seriously. Aradia annotates the book, but has no idea where any of the[...]

Seth is joined by a new guest, SuperSkyLake from the Discord server! They nerd out on audio production in addition to the vagueness of prophecies.  Egwene explores the space between dreams, considers who all is sneaking around in Tel’aran’rhiod with her, and has a fateful encounter with Gawyn that raises questions (and eyebrows). Salidar wakes[...]

Blood and bloody buttered onions, SpoilerCon is really soon! Check out the schedule at www.spoilercon.org/schedule.

That’s part of why we keep coming back for more and more rereads!  Theodrin and[...]

Seth and Travis wait anxiously with Nyneave and Elayne in Salidar, as the little Hall stalls for time with the Tower emissary, as they wait for “the biddable child” to arrive. Travis points out that if you cut a hole in a net, you have fewer holes in the net. Thanks, we hate it. The[...]

Seth and Aradia watch as Verin and Alanna deal with the fallout of Alanna’s impulsive non-consensual bonding, and contemplate if the tradeoffs that she forced on Rand justify her actions. We get a rare and information-rich Verin POV, including a rare instance of Verin being wrong about something!  Aradia grumbles about the trope of people fainting[...]

Seth and Travis discuss an infamous, dark, and complicated moment in Rand’s journey, when Alanna becomes much more than just another Aes Sedai. The chapter accelerates really quickly, and by the end you see hints of Darth Rand coming through. Content warning for discussions of assault.  Death is lighter than a feather, duty is heavier than[...]

WoTSpoilers returns to regular content! It is not the beginning, but it is A beginning. Seth unveils the new co-host plan, re-introduces Aradia, teases SpoilerCon, and tackles his first read-in. Robert Jordan was a master of anticipation and red herrings, particularly in this book.  In Amador, Abdel Omerna gets his news from the Randland equivalent of Facebook memes, while[...]

Seth and Jenn of the White Tower Podcast sit down to talk about a the best fantasy series of the 80's: Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends.     Wheel of Time content will return Sept 1st!

Excitement about the WoT TV show has led to massive growth in the fandom and listenership, to the delight of all of us who have been enjoying the series alone for years. Who would watch The Odd Couple remade with Birgitte and Moghedien? Is growing flowers with the Power is a waste of energy? In[...]

It’s a Forsaken Festival! Three separate Forsaken POVs give us an unprecedented view into their plots. Sammael meets with Graendal and argue about politics and the nature of reality amidst the depths of depravity. Classy. This is the chapter in which we learn the overwhelming majority of what we know about Shara! We also learn[...]

Mat's Band of the Red Hand is becoming more sophisticated in it's organization. We learn about Redarms, and how Mat enforces discipline on his army. After he hears some shouting outside, Mat discovers a Hunter for the Horn “Shaking a little boy like a dog with a rat” after apparently finding the boy sitting on[...]

An irascible old farmer named Hu discovered one morning that his best rooster had flown into a tall tree beside his farm pond and wouldn't come down, so he went to his neighbor, Wil, and asked for help. The men had never gotten along, but Wil finally agreed, so the two men went to the[...]

Rand weaves a gateway to his “Farm” which we learn is where he's been depositing the male volunteers to be tested for any ability to channel. Rand does not know how to test the men, which is why he believes he needs Taim even this early in the game. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club. [...]

Rand announces his amnesty for male channelers, and welcomes Mazrim Taim to his 'Court'. Taim purposely pushes Davram Bashere's buttons, nearly starting a physical confrontation between the two as Rand struggles to suppress the voices in his head. Leaving Bashere in charge of his collection of Seals, plus the newly acquired one which was a[...]

Semirhage and Mesaana meet with Graendal and Demandred to relay and discuss the new message from the Great Lord, although Sammael has been manipulated into avoiding the meeting by Graendal. The message of course is the infamous “Let the Lord of Chaos Rule” order. Osan'gar and Aran'gar have been resurrected in an extremely uncomfortable way.[...]

The group of Tower Aes Sedai meeting with Shaido leaders has come to it's conclusion. The deal made at this meeting is the set up for the battle at Dumai's Wells. Sevanna is now the Defacto leader of the Shaido. Niall reveals that he does not believe in the Dragon Reborn, and possibly not even[...]

(Prologue Part 1) Demandred has received a summons from the Great Lord. As he arrives at Shayol Ghul we watch Myrddraal's blades being forged and quenched in living human beings. We talk about the 'Forgers', non-living constructs which make Myrddraal weapons, and what these 'Forgers' are exactly. We'll go over the thinning of the pattern[...]

When Birgitte regains consciousness, she immediately realizes she's not in Tel'aran'rhiod anymore. Thom somehow recognizes her. Not much gets past him, but Elayne fills the men in on what they have missed. Luca bets the new-comer to his menagerie that she can't out shoot him in an archery competition. Surely, no one has the right[...]

A sleepy Elayne lies awake, waiting for Nynaeve to return from the Dream. Nynaeve finally wakes, though she's destraught that she may have led Birgitte into a situation which got her killed. Thom pounds on the wagon door and quickly enters carrying the naked and near lifeless body of Birgitte. To their credit, it only[...]

Elayne demonstrates her proficiency at cooking in the managerie's camp; a fun idiosyncrasy about her we rarely, if ever again see demonstrated, and sends Nynaeve off to bed with the twisted stone ring Ter'angreal.

Kadere has made it back to Cairhien traveling with the People of the Dragon. He's received a note from another darkfriend, simply letting him know that he's not alone.

Happy birthday to Robert Jordan! (on the day we recorded this one). We establish that Mat's memories range between 500 years after the Breaking and about 2,000 years A.B. So, nothing in the last thousand years. That may have to do with the availability of the Red Stone Doorway Ter'angreal. One of Rand's wards around[...]

Moiraine has warned Rand to trust no woman of the White Tower other than herself now that Siuan has been deposed, and Elaida has taken her place as Amyrlin. Rand and his Aiel armies have reached the Jangai Pass and are preparing to cross the Dragon Wall. A small town just inside of it has[...]

Liandrin and her fellow Sisters of the Black Ajah are currently in Amador, staying in the house of Jorin Arene awaiting orders from the Tower. We spend this chapter entirely in Liandrin's perspective which leaves us all feeling a bit like we need to wash. As She arrives at the manor house, Liandrin is directed[...]

When Nynaeve wakes, she reviews all the terrible experiences she had in her own dreams and The Dream. She and Elayne have agreed to travel toward Tear now that they've confirmed that there is Siuan has been deposed, Elaida has been raised to Amyrlin, all leading to a deadly dangerous split in the Tower. They[...]

Nynaeve realizes she can not travel to the Amyrlin's study in the Dream. She can't find it, because it no longer looks anything like what she remembers. There is a new Amyrlin Seat now. When Egwene arrives she tries to reinforce the dangers of Tel'aran'rhiod once more by summoning a nightmare, likely because Egwene doesn't[...]

Nynaeve calls out to Birgitte in Tel'aran'rhiod, who gave her word to monitor the Forsaken in the Dream. At this point Nynaeve's interactions with the Hero of the Horn are still kept secret at Birgitte's request. When Egwene arrives for they're meeting, she tells Nynaeve that Rand's Aiel followers are hunting Couladin and his Shaido,[...]

Does Elayne deserve to be mocked so thoroughly by Nynaeve? They probably both do, considering how stubborn and headstrong all three of the super girls are. While they're bickering, their coach is suddenly stopped by Valan Luca, the owner of a traveling managerie. They spot Luca's “giant boar horses” immediatley. They've both seen S'redit before,[...]

Egwene is summoned to the Wise Ones' sweat tent.  Moiraine is there, trying to influence the Wise Ones to prevent Rand from bringing the Aiel over the Dragon Wall and invading Cairhien.  It doesn't go well for her, these three Wise Ones will not interfere.  Egwene still can't find the dreams of others, and Amys[...]

Rand is navigating a new relationship with his honor guard, the Maidens of the Spear. It's mostly hilarious to watch Rand fumble around while trying to understand a complex exotic culture but one ex-Maiden, Aviendha, is giving him the hardest time of it. When Rand gave Aviendha the ivory bracelet, to thank her for being[...]

Lews Therin's mind and thoughts are beginning to slip into Rand's. Why and how that works are a matter of debate in the fan community. We'll tell you our theories, so you should feel free to send us yours! Moiraine has collected a number of items of the power and had them loaded onto wagons,[...]

The Tairen High Lady Alteima, effectively exiled from her home by the political machinations of Thom Merrilin and Rand Al'thor, has arrived in Caemlyn hoping to find sanctuary in the Royal palace of Caemlyn, and protection from Queen Morgase. She is escorted through the palace grounds to meet with Queen Morgase by young Lieutenant Tallanvor,[...]

We learn from Rahvin's inner monologue that although Morgase is under the influence of his compulsion, she is nearly impossible to fully control. Lanfear visit's Rahvin, she is the first to arrive of a meeting of four forsaken including Sammael and Graendal. While Graendal's gateway opens we peer through, and see a disconsolate Jain Farstrider.[...]

Staying in Cold Rocks Hold, Rand has the opportunity to observe the Aiel as a people, rather than a group of warriors.

In the bloody aftermath of the first (recent) battle for Emond's field, Perrin has to take a group of Congars and Coplins to task for firing on a group of Tinkers who had been fleeing toward the town in search of safety. It is the first of many tasks presented to Perrin as the emerging[...]

Perrin wakes up, weak and tired, but healed from the brink of death. He senses that Faile is hiding something from him, and eventually drags out of her that Loial and Gaul have gone to re-lock the Waygate against his explicit wishes. Suddenly a cry of “Trollocs!” goes up outside the inn. Although Faile manages[...]

Perrin try's to emotionally deal with the Two Rivers men he's lost in the battles with trollocs, although he has an arrow shot throw his own ribs. Trebuchet or Catapult, get your terms right. Perrin alerts Loial to the unlocked Waygate. Suspicions finally arise about Lord Luc's motivations. Where is he, and what is he[...]

WoT Spoilers welcomes The White Tower Podcast one more time to join us in our ongoing conversation. Perrin uses the Wolf Dream for reconnaissance. He knows Slayer is out there somewhere, but still hasn't made the connection to Lord Luc. He spots a group of ravens flying toward the the mountains and follows them to the[...]

Hey Darkfriends! For this episode and the next, WoT Spoilers had the co-hosts of The White Tower podcast on to discuss the relationship between Perrin and Faile, and all the dynamics of Perrin returning to the Two Rivers. A storm is coming... WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast. You can help us by writing[...]

Hey folks, Sorry for the 'call in' quality of Patrick's audio track on this one. Rest assured, the problem has been fixed! Perrin visits the graves of his family members,and slowly counts his arrows, as if anticipating murder. Faile appears and informs him that Alanna is acting suspiciously, and that hundreds or thousands of people[...]

Nynaeve and Elayne have arrived in Tanchico. The people are starving. Things are so bad there that Captain Domon has started running a soup kitchen. When the young women have a conversation with him for the first time since Falme, he quickly picks up on their good cop/bad cop style, although Elayne and Nynaeve only[...]

Egeanin receives a bag from our old friend Floran Gelb (Captain Domon's boat hand who Rand kicked in the face in EOTW).

Although there is plenty of Daylight left, Rhuarc decides to stop the large group at a place called Imre Stand where he can be sure of water. Rhuarc's scouts make a grizzly discovery. A group of Aiel goat herders have been literally liquefied, and their remains used to paint the inside of a small shelter.[...]

Aviendha has been assigned to Rand, and the tension between the two is palpable. The Jindo Sept of the Tardaad clan, Much of the Shaido clan, and small group of Wise Ones and Wetlanders are traveling from Chaendar to Alcair Dal, a gathering place for Aiel Clan Chiefs. There is evident tension between these groups[...]

Egwene meets Elayne in Tel'aran'rhiod. The two spend some time catching each other up on everything that has happened since the parted ways. Elayne with the Sea folk, and Egwene with the Aiel. The Aiel's Dreamwalkers are busy visiting the dreams of Sept and Clan chiefs, as well as other Wise Ones, alerting them to[...]

Rand and Mat return to the Aiel camp, and are greeted by the thrown spears of a small group of Shaido led by Couladin, although the gathered Wise Ones quickly put a stop to hostilities. Rand presents his dragon tattoos to the large group of Aiel who have assembled outside of Rhuidean. When they see[...]

Lord Luc aka Slayer seems nervous when he meets Verin. Is it because she asks poignant questions, or because she knows who he really is? Slayer is such a complex and poorly understood character, that during this episode we decide on the spot that our next Patron only episode will be a character profile on[...]

Perrin and his small group travel from the old sick-house in Westwood across Emonds Field, to scout the Whitecloak camp. On the way, Tam and Abell suggest stopping at the al'Seen Farmstead, which has become one of the many small collections of families who've banded together for self defense. Even with several families under one[...]

Suddenly in the midst of Aes Sedai, Perrin has some awkward and confusing interactions. Verin and Alanna tell him that they are simply searching for untrained channelers in the region. We don't believe that's the full story, and Perrin doesn't seem to either. The two women heal the small group of warriors, likely to keep[...]

Mistress al'Vere is doing her best to be a gracious host to a Saldean Lady, an Ogier, and three Aiel warriors. You'd hardly know this is a strange event to her. Nor does anyone know that there are two Aes Sedai and their Warders being kept hidden by a conspiracy among the women's circles of[...]

Perrin comes home. He purposely leads the party in a circuitous route, probably hoping to find Tam, but when he reaches the al'Thor farm there's little more than ashes where it once stood. When the group arrives in Emonds Field the al'Veres urge Perrin to leave, but he's having none of it. Bran has terrible[...]

Perrin and Faile's parties make their separate camps. Perrin prepares himself for his own death privately, and enters the Wolf Dream to look for clues about his next step in confronting the Whitecloaks, and how to proceed. Instead he finds Slayer killing wolves in Tel'aran'rhiod, and gives chase. Hopper has some small explanation of who[...]

Perrin keeps his ears sharp as he rides through the Ways. He knows he'll be the first person to hear a wind rise, signifying the imminent death of everyone in the party, including himself. There is no outrunning the Black Wind. The rising tension between Faile and Perrin comes to a crescendo (of spanking) early[...]

Our friends Bambi and Nic join us again to help us explain the sequence of ancestral visions Rand experiences after entering the crystal columns Ter'angreal in Rhuidean. There's so much in these episodes! Including the emergence of the Aiel's Short Spear, the first Maiden of the Spear (a grieving mother bent on revenge), the origins[...]

Wotspoilers welcomes special guests, Bambi and Nic to discuss Rand's visions as he enters the crystal column Ter'angreal in Rhuidean. Robert Jordan wrote this chapter in reverse chronological order. In an attempt to clarify the events leading up to the founding of Rhuidean and Aiel culture as we know it we'll be breaking down this[...]

Rand and Mat make their way into the ancient abandoned city. The boys are thirsty after walking through the desert all morning, which leads Rand to discover that with the Power, he can make the long forgotten fountains of Rhuidean produce water again. We believe Rand has been going mad for BOOKS now, using Callandor[...]

Rand has managed to successfully transport his party from a Portal Stone in Tear to one just outside Rhuidean. This was the limit of his power at the time; Moiraine seems to think that he nearly killed himself in the attempt, but she also knows that the Aiel Wise Ones prophesied his safe arrival at[...]

Rand leads his odd procession of Aiel and Aes Sedai through the streets of Tear, to a Portal Stone just outside of the city. Aviendha is among the scouts Rand sends out looking for the ancient artifact, she's the one who finds it, it's one of their very fist interactions despite being in the Stone[...]

We're excited to watch Rand gather the nobles of Tear, and announce his plans through Moiraine's eyes; a master of The Game of Houses. Chapters from her perspective are fairly rare, but very informative. So, we'll take plenty of time to analyze Moiraine's insights into current events in Randland. This is the sequence where Rand[...]

Elayne and Nynaeve are still in Tear's harbor when they feel the earthquake Rand creates as he drives Callandor in the Heart of the Stone. The two women are joined by Thom Merrilin and Juilin Sandar. The two men were sent separately, by different people to act as the young women's unofficial warders during their[...]

Elayne and Nynaeve arrive at the docks of Tear, to board 'The Wavedancer', a Seafolk raker. They suspect the Black Ajah is active in Tanchico, although they don't know why or exactly where. In our first encounter with the Atha'an Miere we meet the powerful and clever women in charge of the impressive vessel, and[...]

Perrin, Faile and their small party are preparing to enter the Ways. Gaul explains to Perrin that his clan has a blood-feud with the clan of one of the maidens that will be accompanying them to the Two Rivers. With a little luck he says, they won't have to kill each other. While the party[...]

Moiraine wants Thom to travel with Nynaeve and Elayne to Tanchico. Every time these two have a conversation there are multiple meanings, implications, and shrouded threats. Each conversation between these two wonderful characters gives us SO much to break down, and attempt to understand. In the end, Moiraine convinces him to look after the two[...]

Tune in for a special dramatic reading of Lan's monologue in this chapter! Perrin has his mind set on returning to Emond's Field, to die, alone, but Faile isn't having it. Her (and his) stubborn behavior over the next few chapters is un-endingly frustrating to read, and although it may seem counter intuitive, plot lines[...]

There is only one place Mat can find the answers to his questions, the land of the Finn. Little does Mat know, Rand, and Moiraine have already entered the doorway, ALL THREE are there getting their answers at the same time. Mat of course somehow gets the Finn to answer 6 questions rather than three.[...]

While Perrin is laying to sleep, and unexpected visitor walks into his room. We think her intent is exactly what she says, to have Perrin pass a message to Rand. The first of Mayene will be leaving Tear, and Berelain is afraid to approach Rand alone. Perrin's resistance at being used as a messenger boy[...]

Mat sits in an ale house, drinking and relieving the last few hours of his life. The Battle in the Stone; Mat's life was saved by a horde of Trollocs, we'll read his flashback to you. We'll spend a little time talking about Manetheran, and how the Pattern itself has picked the perfect people to[...]

Egwene returns from Tel'aran'rhiod and tells her friends and fellow hunters about Amys, the Wise One she met in the Dream. Egwene knows she has to go to this teacher, and cannot travel to Tanchico with the other women. Luckily, she'll have a companion, because Aviendha has been summoned to the Waste as well. We'll[...]

Sponsored by: Binding The Shattered Harp  Moiraine informs the Hunters Three that their two Black Ajah Captives have been assassinated while in their cells. Amico and Joiya were found with their throats slit, and their tongues cut out. Their doors were never opened, and their guards heard nothing. As readers we find out later who killed[...]

Our friend Daniel Greene joins us again to discuss The battle for the Stone. Rand wades out into the madness, now unafraid of the Shadowspawn, and begins rallying defenders, Aiel, and whoever he can to defend the women and children who live in the Stone.  Robert Jordan gives us a beautiful and unrelentingly brutal depiction of[...]

Seriously.  Do it and tell him we sent you.  We'll spend a little time talking with Daniel about the Kingkiller Chronicles, Daniel's other projects,  how we[...]

After Egwene leaves Elayne and Rand alone, the daughter heir makes her feelings clear him, and guides him through the budding romance. After the first of their many make-out sessions, Gaul enters the room to warn Rand that a group of Tairen High Lords are waiting outside to negotiate some of the Dragon's new legislation.[...]

Egwene and Elayne implement their plan to deliver the Dragon into the arms of the daughter heir of Andor. Rand is still suffering from his haunted dreams. Some are real, some are not, but it makes little difference, the young man is under an incredible amount of stress, he isn't sleeping, and someone or something[...]

While Nynaeve takes pleasure in Moiaine's frustrated attempts to direct Rand's actions, Moiraine informs the prisoners and their jailers that she has made arrangements for the captives to be sent by river boat to Tar Valon, to be tried, and undoubtedly executed by the women of the Tower. We'll spend a bit of time explaining[...]

After healing and counseling Rand, Moiraine returns to the Hunters Three, to advise them in their questioning of Joiya and Amico, the two captured Sisters of the Black Ajah. The three younger women have managed to glean a few choice bits of information from their interrogation, but don't know what they can trust, let alone[...]

A Gleeman's Strings, The strings which tie Thom and Mat to the Dragon, and just for good measure, Thom is playing the games of houses like a fiddle for them both. When Mat arrives at his door, Thom is just finishing up a forged letter. His intent is to create a rift between Rand's detractors.[...]

Perrin and Faile move quickly through the corridors of the Stone. The Tairen High Lords avoid the Dragon and his retinue. The first section of this chapter really highlights the growing tension between the two groups in the Stone. Rand's Aiel guards try to discourage Perrin from bothering Rand, but even Bain's spear point directed[...]

This section begins with Rand, dreaming a sexually charged dream about Min and Elayne. Berelain enters his room and he snaps awake. She wants to seduce him, but Rand is having none of it. He does try to remain polite through most of the encounter, even when Berelain refuses to take no for an answer.[...]

Mat is playing cards with the sons of the High Lords of Tear. Later with the exception of one who dies, these men will be commanders in the Band of the Red Hand, underneath it's general, Matrim Cauthon. Mat tells the men the story of how he discovered a new game, Maiden's Kiss. Outside in[...]

In a lengthy and beautiful intro, Robert Jordan brings us back to The Stone of Tear, where the Dragon's Banner whips in the wind on the top of the mountain fortress. Perrin and Faile are in their rooms, arguing, believe it or not. We discuss their relationship, and debate a bit about just how intimate[...]

Elaida has growing suspicions about Suian, and quickly realizes that this “Elmindreda” is connected to Elayne, Nynaeve, and Egwene. She knows that the three young women are connected to Rand, Moiraine to all of them, and most importantly Suian to Moiraine. The White Cloaks are moving toward the Two Rivers, Mordeth in toe, now known[...]

The Dragon Banner is raised over the Stone of Tear. Rand Al'Thor has drawn Callandor, the dead will rise from their graves, the Heroes of old will return from their endless dream, and the Dragon will destroy the world to save it. The Wheel of Time Spoilers podcast has completed the first three books of[...]

This podcast features a VERY special guest, Timber gnawing on a bone in the background. Our Nae'blis says hello as he mercilessly grinds the bones of our enemies into dust. We talk about our running theories on the wound in Rand's side; why, when, and how it breaks open IS predictable. We explain and justify[...]

Mat approaches the Stone with his bundle full of explosives, a bit of fire, and plenty of luck. As he slinks across the rooftops of Tear, Mat notices Rand climbing the side of the Stone in the distance. We explain arrow slits, concussive force, and how Mat places his bundle in just the right way[...]

A flow of spirit triggered the hedgehog trap, and perhaps, a flow of a different kind of spirit is working on Perrin's emotions. Faile has fallen into a trap left for Moiraine, a trap set in the real world, that imprisons her in Tel'aran'rhiod. Perrin realizes that the Wolf Dream is the World of Dreams,[...]

Captain Lopar has no relation to the bizarre Seanchan beasts, it's just a coincidence. We spend a little time discussing the culture of the, 'Maule' one of the poorest districts in the city of Tear.  We have get lot of insight from Suian's stories which are scattered throughout the books. Mother Guenna puts Thom in[...]

Nynaeve runs in to Juilin Sandar on the street. He's under compulsion after being caught by the Black Ajah, and he leads her back to Mother Guenna's house. It only takes Nynaeve a moment to see the trap, she's already shielded, but it's not too late to punch Liandrin in the face. AGAIN. The three[...]

As Perrin arrives in Tear with Moiraine, Lan, and Loial, we get a detailed and thoughtful of description of the scents of the city from his perspective. The Darkness is palpable. As luck would have it, Perrin finds a personal meditative refuge from all the nightmares and fear, in a blacksmith's shop near where they're[...]

Mother Guenna introduces Juilin Sandar to the Hunters Three. We talk about the differentiation between the terms thief-taker and thief-catcher, something that Juilin cares about. The little group makes their deal. As Mat and Thom arrive in Tear, a lightning flash illuminates the very home Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne are staying in, but Mat won't[...]

The Hunters Three arrive in Tear. Nynaeve has the bright idea to stay in no inn, but instead with a local healer in attempt to make the three women harder to find. Mother Guenna is basically in older version of Nynaeve, and they hit it off famously. Egwene has had a LONG list of prophetic[...]

Tallanvor admonishes the guard who sent Mat away while they're on their way out. When Mat returns to the Queen's Blessing, he abruptly announces that he'll be leaving for Tear as soon as he can pack his bags and get some food in his stomach. In the conversation that ensues, Master Gil gives Mat some[...]

Mat and Thom arrive in Caemlyn. Mat seems very impressed by it's scale, and maybe more so by it's wealth. Thom of course, heads straight to the Queen's Blessing, but Mat rides to the palace eager to be rid of Elayne's letter to Morgase. Mat sneaks through the Palace's gardens and right up to some[...]

Moiraine's little group, Faile being the newest addition, are fleeing Illian. She believes that Sammael knows where they are, and they know Rand is on his way to Tear. Mat and Thom are caught between towns, and make a primitive camp near the road they're traveling down, also on their way south. A group of[...]

Lan is curious as to how Perrin sensed the Grey Men before he or Moiraine could. When Lan brings Perrin and Loial outside to scout around the area, he finds a Darkhound's track in some stone, and Perrin smells them nearby. We're able to deduce that Sammael sent the hounds to track them, but Ishamael[...]

We learn that a group of Ogier stone masons have left the city recently without finishing their work. Moiraine explains that Ogier are sensitive to some things, and whatever is happening in this city has driven them away, not to mention darkening the mood of it's citizens through some use of Tel'aran'rhiod. When the party[...]

Moiraine tests Faile's mettle to verify she's the falcon Min saw, and whether she's pulled into Perrin's web. Although, Moiraine is as furious as an Aes Sedai gets, everyone is stepping lightly around her. Shortly after he party arrives in Illian, Moiraine allows Faile into her group. Moiraine makes her swear to obey her, and[...]

As the Aiel women explain why they’ve crossed the Dragon Wall, the three wetlander women learn more about Rand’s past. Something at least Nynaeve already suspected. As the Maidens of the Spear learn more about their counter-parts’ mission, it becomes evident to them that these women are on the trail on what the Aiel want,[...]

As the Aiel women explain why they’ve crossed the Dragon Wall, the three wetlander women learn more about Rand’s past. Something at least Nynaeve already suspected. As the Maidens of the Spear learn more about their counter-parts’ mission, it becomes evident to them that these women are on the trail on what the Aiel want,[...]

Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are walking downriver to the nearest port town when they're approached by a young Maiden of the Spear who introduces herself as Aviendha. Aviendha explains that a woman she has been traveling with is gravely injured, and asks if she could be healed. Bain and Chiad are there with Aviendha, and[...]

Egwene stares east, watching the smoke rise from the fires in Cairhien. There is a civil war in full force, and no one is strong enough to take control of the nation. Andor has been providing humanitarian aid, but that will stop soon on orders from Rahvin, who is now in control of Andor, and[...]

One of the Many bits of Lore in the WoT Universe we all find ourselves woven into is the One Power. Not to be confused with the True Power which is the power of the Dark One, the One power is the force that turns the Wheel of Time itself, the wheel that weaves the[...]

Perrin is on a river ship bound for Illian, feeling grateful that for once there are no wolves in his mind. There is no real escape for him, though. When he falls asleep, Hopper is there with him in the World of Dreams. Perrin sees Rand in Tel'aran'rhiod being tortured by nightmares sent by...someone. Rand[...]

In the aftermath of the fight, Gaul has left Remen to continue his journey, now heading toward Tear on Perrin's advice. Lan finds a ship that will take the party toward Illian on short notice, and from Illian, they can head oversea to Tear where they should be able to intercept Rand. Faile and Perrin[...]

Moiraine hears some news from an innkeeper that implies there's a new false Dragon in Ghealdan. Perrin feels restless, and with out having a plan, he wanders back out to the town square, where a nameless Aiel is hanging in a suspended cage. On impulse he decides to let the man free, and they have[...]

Perrin is tracking Rand with Moiraine and their party. He smells sulfur, and sees the tracks of the darkhounds that have been following Rand. Although, he doesn't yet know enough to understand what he's looking at. How does Rand continue to outpace Moiraine and her group, even without a horse? Perrin and Moiraine have an[...]

A dock master tries to stop Mat and Thom from boarding a ship leaving Tar Valon, but as it happens, Mat has the 'permission' from the Amyrlin Seat herself. It's an action packed scene, for sure. The ship's captain believes Mat is a young lord in disguise, and prattles on trying to get information out[...]

Mat wanders into the common room of an inn, and it just so happens that there is a gleeman name Thom Merrilin playing there. Thom is still mourning the death of his lover Dena, and he's hammered drunk. We'll spend some time talking about Rand's complex family tree, members of the nobility that Thom has[...]

Anaiya pays Mat a visit in his sick room. She knows he's been stockpiling food, that he now has a weapon, and plans to escape. What she doesn't know, is that he'll actually get away with it. Mat needs to make some quick cash to pay his fair on a boat leaving Tar Valon. He[...]

Siuan pays a visit to the young women while they're working in the kitchen. She creates a diversion in order to speak with Nynaeve; consult with her hounds. Sheriam has 'found' a dead grayman laying in her bed. We speculate on how and why it got there, probably an implied threat. Suian tells Nynaeve that[...]

The Hunters three visit Mat in his sick bed. Mat's discomfort with anyone being able to channel is something he never gets over. We talk about power dynamics between the genders in the Wheel of Time, and how channeling affects male/female dynamics. After a good deal of dissembling, the women had Mat one of their[...]

For this episode we have on friend of the Pod Travis, long time listener and commentator on the WoTSpoilers Discord to discuss TDR Ch27. Verin walks into the kitchen while the young women are scrubbing pots to ask if they've found anything. Very suspicous. A few other Aes Sedai arrive after Verin to do and[...]

We know about rats and ravens, what about other small carrion eaters like mice? Egwene sees mouse tracks in a dusty room in the Tower, are the wards fading already? We talk about Lanfear constantly uses compulsion on the people around her. We think the the silver belt she's always wearing is an item of[...]

Egwene has had a whole menagerie of prophetic dreams. Don't panic! We'll discuss and interpret them all one by one. Else Grinwell arrives at Nynaeve's rooms where the three young women are going over their plans. Mat saw her on the way there in the last chapter. It isn't Else of course, it's Lanfear, there[...]

Mat wanders around the Tower grounds, trying to assess whether or not he can escape the grip of the Aes Sedai. He runs into Lanfear again, this time she's masquerading as Else Grinwell, but she's not interested in talking. Eventually, he comes upon the warder training grounds, and challenges Gawyn and Galad to a bet[...]

Our friend Aradia joins us once again to discuss the aftermath of Egwene's test. Egwene has passed, and emerges from the third ring as everyone does, screaming, crying, and cursing. All is not right outside the rings, though. Suian is shouting orders at her Aes Sedai, who are all in as much of a panic[...]

Friend of the pod, Aradia joins us for this chapter to discuss Egwene's testing. As Egwene leaves Verin's rooms, she's quickly intercepted by Sheriam. It's her time to take the Accpeted test, because Elayne just finished hers. Keep in mind the last handful of chapters all happen back to back. The girls have suffered an[...]

'Talent' is a collective name for special innate abilities of both people who can, and some who can not channel. For instance, listening to the wind, compulsion, and healing are all Talents that only a channeler can use. On the other hand, there are also Sniffers, Wolfbrothers, and Dreamwalkers – none of whom need the[...]

Egwene has been summoned to Verin's rooms in the Tower.  The Aes Sedai gives Egwene information on the 13 Black sisters who have fled the Tower, and a dream Ter'angreal.  Verin withholds critical information from Egwene, and we know that all the information Egwene receives has been pre-approved by the Black Ajah but, the Ter'angreal[...]

This is where TDR hits it's stride, and we're excited! Lanfear walks into Mat's room. He's stark naked, taken totally off guard, and under her spell. She's come of course to give her glory pitch to a nervous and naked farm-boy. We also know that Lanfear has been active in the tower recently. Her intent[...]

Mat wakes up in the Tower, not knowing exactly how he got there. He's been healed, and although there are holes left in his memory, we see him recollect a full page of memories from the Trolloc Wars – Aemon's Last stand, the battle that marked the death of ancient Manetheren, but saved a tiny[...]

WHAT, exactly, does the sniff sound sound like, and what does it mean? Tell us what you think! Sheriam leads Egwene and Nynaeve deep underneath the White Tower, where even Aes Sedai rarely go. Ten women have gathered to separate Mat from the Ruby Hilted Dagger, remove the infectious touch of Shadar Logoth from his[...]

Elaida walks into the room without announcement, to interrogate the young women about recent events. She's met Rand, and wants to know more. This is the beginning of her suspicions of Siuan. Elaida embraces the source, to menace the girls. We talk about her intent, and the way the young women perceived that act. Luckily,[...]

Nynaeve doesn't appreciate the meddling curiosity Gawyn and Galad, and they're swiftly ejected from her room in the Tower. We discuss Egwene's switch in love interests in this chapter – a hot topic in our Discord Server. Siuan's plan is to make Nynaeve and Egwene her hounds to hunt the Black Ajah, and she knows[...]

Nynaeve and Egwene are on their way back to the Accepted's quarters when several soulless attack them. By luck alone a crossbow bolt misses Egwene's face. Nynaeve turns the air to gelatin around one of them, but when the women approach him, he's already dead with a dagger in his chest. Sheriam conveniently comes around[...]

Siuan has kept Nynaeve and Egwene behind; she has a plan, of which she will tell them some – never all. Siuan tells them that the Black Ajah is real, and they've been killing in the Tower itself. She tells them that she intends to make the young women her hounds to hunt these pariahs.[...]

Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are summoned from their rooms to the the Amyrlin Seat. They have no hint as to what to expect. There are some really great harshly worded monologues from Siuan in this chapter. Morgase has been to the Tower and left Elaida there on returning to Caemlyn, enraged by Elayne's kidnapping. Morgase[...]

Verin and her group reach the small town of Darein, at the foot of one of the bridges that leads to Tar Valon. The streets are filled with soldiers, we assume this has to do with recent Whitecloak activity in the area. We spend some time discussing how Aes Sedai constantly skirt around the three[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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,[...]

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[...]

Perrin has been awoken, and warned of an attack by the wolves through is dreams. He can see in the dark, hear, and smell the Shadowspawn wherever they are. Perrin is Dangerous to them. “Hamstring and throat, that was how wolves killed”, and so Young Bull does to the Myrddraal that attacks him. Although, the[...]

Perrin arrives in a dream, not knowing how he got there. This is a Dreamshard. Ishamael asks about his ax, and when he'll give it up. This relates to the Dark prophecy about 'The Blacksmith'. Lanfear and Ishamael try to get Perrin to drink from a cup. What's in it and why? Hopper moves Perrin[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

“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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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,[...]

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.[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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,[...]

Nynaeve and Elayne stay in Falme while they plan how to free Min and Egwene. They sell their clothes, and buy some in the local style. Nynaeve has been practicing opening A’dam with the power, and she’s figured it out. They they run into Min outside the Damane stables, and the three hatch a plan[...]

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[...]

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[...]

The Super Girls slip out of the tower to meet Liandrin at the Waygate. They pass easily through the halls, fetch their horses, then past the tower's guards, to one of the only #Ogier groves that is currently maintained. Liandrin is surprised that Egwene and Nynaeve brought Elayne and Min with them. That they're a[...]

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[...]

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[...]

The Eldest of Stedding Tsofu understands the great need our party has to use their Waygate, but the Ogier do not believe in acting with out consideration. Finding the Horn of Valere is a great need indeed, as is saving Mat's life, but Alar takes the time to explain to Verin, Rand, and Ingtar what[...]

The party that fled Cairhien arrives at Stedding Tsofu. Ingtar continues to show signs of distress, likely an effect of Ishameal's compulsion during the Darkfriend Social. Loial is also reluctant to head toward the Stedding. He might be discovered and shipped back to his mother in Stedding Shangtai. We meet Erith, Loial's future wife for[...]

Remember that short conversation between Rand and Thom at Barthanes’ party? Galldrian sure did. He sent men to investigate Thom, who end up killing Dena. Thom kills them and Galldrian, Barthanes is assassinated mysteriously at the same time, it looks like the work of a Golem. Someone fired Galldrian's granaries as well, possibly Barthanes. This[...]

Hurin tells us a bit about the gossip in the servant's quarters. We talk about Rand’s creeping insanity, how that increasingly affects him as time goes on, and we speculate on when it begins. Hurin leads Rand and Loial to the stone enclosure that hides the Waygate. When Rand opens the gate to see if[...]

Rand and the party arrive at Barthanes' manor. We analyze Rand's conversation with Barthanes. Rand thinks he's making small talk, but everything that comes out of his mouth appears to be a deft maneuver in the Great Game to Barthanes. There's so much going on in this conversation, Galldrian's reliance on imported Andoran grain, and[...]

The longer they stay, the deeper Rand becomes tangled in Daes Daes'mar.  When Rand leaves the inn to see if Ingtar and the Shienarans have arrived to bail him out, he returns to find that it's now a structure fire.  Hurin was attacked, and the chest stolen. Verin, Mat, Perrin, and the Shienarans arrive just[...]

In the wake of the early Seanchan invasion, Geofram Bornhald is in Almoth Plain under the orders of Pedron Niall, stirring up chaos. The Questioners are doing their best work to help, and Bornhald does not approve of their methods. We talk about the Seanchan navy, their encounters with the SeaFolk, and how that likely[...]

As Perrin guides the Shienaran lances south toward Cairhien, the wolves tell him there are people in the mountains to the east. The Wise Ones have sent warriors across the Spine of the World in search of their Car'a'carn. An Aielman emerges from the rocky terrain, and presents himself to the party. "My name is[...]

Rand and Loial are attacked by Trollocs in the streets of the fore-gate. Selene shows up out of nowhere, as usual, just as Rand and Loial are being chased to the edge of the city. Chased in the direction...of the Illuminator's compound. Aludra is there, so close to the Dragon, and her fate is sealed[...]

We talk about about the history of Cairhien, including the refugees of the Aiel war who live in the fore-gate community, and why Galldrian feels he has to placate that community using food, festivals, and fireworks. Rand starts receiving the infamous letters. It seems he's tangled in Daes Da'mar, but we know The Game is[...]

Egwene is lead to her rooms in the novice quarters of the White Tower. A room she will share with Elayne Trakand. Elayne talks about how few novices there are, and asks about Rand. We talk about how the population of channelers has slowly been culled since the breaking of the world. By chance on[...]

We have our friend Aradia on to talk with us about Nynaeve's Accepted test. We speculate on what the test is, how it’s created, and where it takes place. We come to some interesting conclusions. We talk about the oath rod and Aes Sedai politics. Is channeling in the World of Dreams real, is it[...]

We wonder why the heading for this chapter is the dagger, but come to no real conclusions. Moiraine and Lan make a stop at the home of two retired Aes Sedai. We talk about Moiraine's conversation with Vandene in detail. Her questions are very revealing. Lan and Moiraine have the infamous conversation about his bond[...]

The Innkeeper and guests try to make sense of Rand and his party. No one believes Rand's story, as usual. He doesn't look likes he from the west, Selene doesn't look like she's from Cairhien in the east, and why are they traveling with an Ogier? Rand's has a conversation with a Cairhienin military captain.[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

Kelsey Maxwell returns to discuss Chapter 66. Rand wakes up in the portal world with Hurin and Loial. He tries to use the power to return, but follows Hurin's nose to the future path of Fain.  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. You can help us by writing a review, or donating on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers[...]

We spend some time discussing Fain, and how he has been effected by three types of dark powers.  This creates a sort of synthesis of the three, and turns him into something new.  We discuss how Perrin takes over Hurin's job later, but hides what he really is.  Lanfear is present, manipulating events. WoTSpoilers is[...]

Everyone other than Suian seems to think that there has been an assassination on the Amyrlin.  She knows however that the arrow was meant for Rand.  This is the beginning of the true Great Hunt for the Horn, and Ingtar's redemption. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast. You can help us by writing a[...]

We start with follow up on the last few episodes, including who becomes a hero of the horn, Thom's location, Hurin's sense of smell and how that interacts with Ingtar's deeds, and a few others. Lan instructs Rand on how to act and walk with the Amyrlin Seat. She manipulates him into chasing after the[...]

After the attack on Fal Dara, Rand finds a dark prophecy scrawled on the walls.  Verin studies it, but we have a lot of insight for you here.  Lots of speculation and fan theory here.   WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast. You can help us by writing a review, or donating on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers[...]

We see the end of a meeting between Moiraine and Suian, as they conspire to aid the Dragon Reborn.  We speculate on what it takes to become bound to the horn? The WhiteCloaks lead by Bornhold meet up in a decimated town under the direction of Jaichim Carridin, a darkfriend.  Liandrin uses compulsion lite on[...]

Suian, Moiraine, and a group of important Aes Sedai have a long conversation about current events.  They all appear to be as troubled as Aes Sedai ever do. Moiraine and Suian have a private conversation, one of the few moments we see them be truly warm with each other.  Were they "pillow friends" in the[...]

Rand's escape is foiled by orders to lock the gates of Fal Dara's keep. We speculate about where these orders originated. While Rand continues trying to find a way out, Suian will have spotted him.  She has the Talent of seeing Ta'veren.  She gives no sign that she knows who he is, though. Lanfear is[...]

We talk about the ways, and how they were made. Fain is forced to follow the party into their creepy depths.  We discuss Moiraine's first visit to the Green Man, before Rand is pulled into a dreamshard, where Ishamael is trying to identify each boy with a figurine. Perrin doesn't seem to have the dream with the[...]

Rand and Mat arrive in Caemlyn. They quickly get mired in politics when Rand wraps his sword with Pro-Morgase cloth. We speculate on the cause of the discontentment in Caemlyn. Is a Forsaken stirring up trouble? The boys make their way to the Queens Blessing, where they are helped by Master Gill. He tells them[...]

In this two chapter episode, Rand suffers the symptoms ofchanneling sickness. This is why the timeline at this point in the book is totally out of whack - it's all viewed from Rand's perspective.  Don't worry! We'll lay out the sequence of events in order.  Rand watches Gode burned alive in a dream. The boys[...]
