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 Urien, of the Two Spires sept of the Reyn Aiel. I am a Red Shield. Remember me." In the after-show, we discuss the Aiel Waste, how their clothing is well designed for sun exposure, Patrick...

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 from the moment Rand uses her night-flowers to effortlessly vaporize a group of Trollocs. In the after-show we talk about our Merch which is coming soon. If you love the Wheel of Time Spoilers podcas...

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 just tangling itself in Rand's web. While wandering around the Foregate, he runs into the king of the Great Game, Thom Merrilin. Thom quotes some of the Karaethon cycle to Rand i...

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 their way to meet Min, the ladies run into a gentled Logain wandering the halls of the Tower, casually talking about suicide. Min also asks after Rand. She has a few viewings, and we explain them one by ...

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 created the power, or the mind? Is “Just a weave” really just a weave? What is sin in the #wheeloftime universe? A bit of a Psychedelic after-show. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast. You can ...

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 being passed. A Draghkar swoops down on Moiraine while she's walking alone. We've got no way to prove it, but fans of the series agree, Liandrin sent it. We thank a bunch of new Patro...

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. Daes Dae'mar begins. Rand has no idea what he's fallen into, and that is his greatest strength. We believe Lanfear quickly dismisses herself so as not to be discovered by the captain who would...

Rand, Selene, Hurin and Loial see the Choedan Kal being unearthed. Being near it does something strange to Rand. We speculate on this strange resonance, whatever it is that happens to Rand here even frightens Lanfear. They finally arrive at a Cairhienin inn, called 'The Nine Rings” a definite head nod from Robert Jordan to Tolkien's 'nine rings of mortal men doomed to die'. WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club, and you can join our conversations on Discord. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discus...

While Rand waits for Ingtar to arrive, he catches “Selene” going through his bags. We speculate about why, but the crazy ex-girlfriend theory was most popular among our discord community. Lanfear wants Rand as her companion, to rule the world together, forever, and ever, and ever... Hurin spots Fain and his followers. “Selene” likely compels Rand to take Loial and scout the camp. “Remember the glory, Lord Rand”. Everything she wants, she gets. The void hides Rand from Fain's tracking ability, an...

Rand, Loial, and Hurin find the Monument Ingtar had been talking about, but in this world, Hawkwing lost, and the Trolloc army prevailed. Lanfear appears under the guise of 'Selene' a young Cairhienin woman being attacked by grolm. We believe Lanfear is using compulsion on everyone around her from the beginning of the interaction, influencing the thoughts and actions of Rand in particular. Although even for the Forsaken, Channelers like Rand, Nyneave, and Egwene are notoriously difficult to infl...

We see Rand's first heron brand in this chapter. Don't panic! We'll go over this section of the Karaethon cycle for you. We talk about how time and distance work differently in the portal world, but Tel'aran'rhiod works the same no matter where you are, which is how Ishmael gets to Rand. Although, Rand 'wraps himself' in Saidin to escape. We speculate on when the timeline of this world diverged from Rand's, and what may have happened. Loial senses something strange and Treesings himself a weapon...

Perrin truly embraces his Talent for the first time, in much the way Rand has been accepting his own power, out of necessity. Rand, Hurin, and Loial have disappeared, and Ingtar is FURIOUS. Perrin's reluctant, but he knows that he could do Hurin's job with the help of the local wolves. Perrin finds out that the wolves have named him Young Bull, and Rand has earned the name Shadowkiller. The party is being followed as well, by Verin. Verin tells the hunters that Moiraine had sent her to them; a v...

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 a weekly book discussion podcast.
