DM News:Welcome Home to JordanCon Video

[Mashiara Sedai]

This year marked the 10th anniversary of JordanCon.  It's truly amazing that the dedication and loyalty of so many Wheel of Time lovers has turned this convention with a modest beginning into a yearly pilgrimage for many fans.  The depth of love from all the people involved--from the staff, to the volunteers, to the attendees--is a testament to Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time series.

 

To celebrate the milestone of ten amazing years, during the opening ceremonies, a video overview was shown.  It highlighted Robert Jordan, his fight with amyloidosis, and the following years of JordanCon where his life and his life's work were/are celebrated.  After this played for the crowd of con-goers, I can pretty much guarantee there was not a dry eye.

 

You can view the video here.  Even without being surrounded by hundreds of other fans, this is still beautifully touching.  The song fit the theme of this year's JordanCon, SeanCon: the Return.  But the deeper meaning is there.  If you've ever had the privilege of attending a Wheel of Time related event, you know that meeting fellow fans is like a homecoming.
