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 you excited for the Wheel of Time show? So are we!

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 you excited for the Wheel of Time show? So are we!

Today we are joined by Cayla, who won the SpoilerCon silent auction item of a guest slot on the podcast!

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 epic, amazing, and visually stunning! Did you miss Spoilercon 2021?

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 of Sea Folk appearance and power, and begin to examine the cache of angreal acquired along with the Bowl of the Winds. Avi calmly unweaves her gateway, and the Aes Sedai respond by becoming extremely ag...

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 enough, Aradia was right that the 13th Depository website has a blog post precisely about the connections between Rand and the Fisher King and the game’s Moridin is playing: http://13deposito...

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 get into a duel that wrecks the king’s and council’s palaces before taking their fight to Shadar Logoth instead.

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 into his sick room, much to the dismay of his concerned allies. Min helps him sneak away from the Maidens (which will come back to bite both of them later) and get to Bashere, who is surprised at how early the...

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 gholam. Olver innocently delays Mat’s departure from Ebou Dar with the party of channelers, so that he is forced to witness and be involved in the Seanchan (re)invasion of the continent...

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.

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 well as an idea for how to cleanse saidin. Cadsuane quickly rallies a party to get the wounded Dragon Reborn to the healing safety of the Sun Palace, though it takes an asha’man to actually...

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 very close to death at the bottom of the river.

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 Wheel of Time series. We are not discussing “if” Mat was assaulted, but rather examining how Robert Jordan created a nuanced analysis of sexual assault. After Mat is free to go,...

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 dice don’t make his day any easier. CW for sexual assault and many long discussions about the nature of consent.

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 books. He also takes a few minor characters with him, like Berelain, some of our favorite Aiel, and cha’Faile. Loial departs with Karldin, and we never quite see him again. (Also, who...

Suroth parades the former Panarch of Tarabon and a damane who was once Aes Sedai in front of Morgaise to make her power clear.
