For those of you who missed it, the first annual JordanCon convention kicked off last weekend to a huge success. Be sure to check out our coverage of the event, which will likely contain a YouTube video or two in the very near future.

Attending the convention were Harriet, Brandon Sanderson, Tom Doherty (the president of Tor Books), and various other people involved closely with the MEMORY OF LIGHT project. A lot of information was shared with people attending the convention, and we'd like to list it here in one place for you.

• Confirmed: There are three (3) remaining full-length novels remaining in the WHEEL OF TIME series. This has been discussed at great length already. Read Brandon's detailed blog post on the reasons for the split.
  
• The first of the three remaining books will be entitled THE GATHERING STORM.
  
• The working title for the second book is SHIFTING WINDS, but that is likely to change Updated: Originally I posted "Swirling Winds". Sorry about that. The title being considered is SHIFTING WINDS. Again, that is likely to change.
  
• The third and final book in the WoT series will be entitled either TARMON GAI'DON or simply, A MEMORY OF LIGHT. (Which do you prefer? Leave your thoughts in the comments!)
  
• Each book will have its own set of chapters. Meaning they are likely to have their own prologues, and each will have a chapter 1 that begins with "The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass...." (It had previously been believed that the three books would be a single volume cut into 3 parts.
  
• Tor believes that Darryl K Sweet (the artist who does the cover art for all of the previous US edition books) is the right artist for the job on these remaining books. Once the series is done, however, they are very open to commissioning new covers for each book
  
• Tor is very interested in publishing the three (3) "Outrigger" novels that Robert Jordan spoke of before he passed away. Harriet and Brandon appear to be more hesitant about the idea. A decision on this will not be made until the main series is complete
  
• The overarching idea for the outrigger novels was revealed. It obviously contains spoilers. Please visit our forums to discuss.
  
• One of the most powerful moments of the convention was when an audio recording of Robert Jordan was played for all those present. He dictated the opening of THE GATHERING STORM prologue. Please see our JordanCon recap for a description of what happened. (The link to the plot summary is here)
  

The program for the convention also contained what appears to be the text that will appear on the hardcover edition of the book:

Update: Note that summary text above is preliminary. It was written before the title GATHERING STORM was finalized. Hence, that's why they use the working title GATHERING CLOUDS. This text is probably what was sent to booksellers, and may not be what appears on the book jacket. We'll keep you posted.
