A Countdown. Things we love.

[CaddySedai]

Today’s goal: Seven. Its getting closer...can you feel it? Three music tracks, Tons of posters, Little snippits. But the numbers keep marching along. Six had some great answers but we struggled a bit to fill the gaps. Hopefully seven gets us back on track. There are a few "easy" ones. 

[Pandemonium]

Lots of answers for 7.  Will share just a couple so everyone else gets a turn

 

7 false dragons:  Logain, Taim, Guaire Amalasan, Raolin Darksbane, Yurian Stonesbow, Davian, Gorin Rogad

 

7 spokes on the wheel of time

The seven towers of Malkier. 
 

It lives so long as one man wears the hadori…Tai’shar Malkier.

The seven Ajahs. We do not speak of the supposed Eighth that is definitely a fabrication and doesn't exist.

[SinisterDeath]

The Seven girlfriends Lews Therin Telamon had during his college years at the University of Paaran Disen. His animal house escapades were told through the ages, eventually leading to mat's classic line "One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women mean trouble in the house. Three pretty women mean run for the hills.".

Seven Ages

 

But I suppose that's the same as seven spokes on the Wheel

[MasterAblar]

The seven seals on the Dark One's prison.

 

The initial seven that leave from Eamond Field: Moiraine, Lan, Rand, Mat, Perrin, Egwene, and Thom (sorry Nyneave).

Today’s goal: Hey, its the Eighth day. Whoever can name something in WoT that came in 8 is a real winner. And the winner of this round will get their own special on ESPN 8. “The Ocho”

[MasterAblar]

The 8 male forsaken sealed into the dark ones prison.

[SinisterDeath]

*Grins*
The Eight-Pointed Star Ter'Angreal in the possession of Cadsuane. It "vibrates" in the presence of Male Channelers.

You know I am sorely tempted to let this work a third time. lmao

Noo I was going to say this (and make a joke about yesterday's response where I said there are definitely only 7)!

 

Dang it.

[themann1086]

I was also going to say the 8 Ajahs because it's funny. Also one of my favorite characters is a member of the 8th Ajah ("that dress you are wearing is green" and good lord I want this moment in the show so badly)

[Pandemonium]

8 Blademasters killed in blademaster duels:

 

Toram Riatin, Demandred, Gawyn, Turak, Semon Valda, Ishamael (kinda), Hammar, Ryne (he's a blademaster in my book if Lan thinks he is better)

[JaimAybara]

8 - The Eight People who Encountered the Snakes and the Foxes?…

 

*could be off though. 
 

1) Mat

2) Moiraine 

3) Rand

4) Thom 

5) Farstrider (hope he makes it in the show) 

6) Lanfear 

7) Birgitte

8 ) Gaidal

With our illustrious thread host absent I'm going to post my pick for Day 9 anyway because I've been holding on to this one for a week now and I can no longer resist: the Nine Rods of Dominion! Mentioned in the Prologue and then not explained or even mentioned again in text! I'm pretty sure I started reading this at age 12 right after finishing Lord of the Rings and Dune but before I read the silmarillion for fun (I was a weird kid), so I was used to having things named and unexplained at that point, but these still stuck out to me.

 

The later explanation that they were just the titles for regional governors was very disappointing

[MasterAblar]

The 9 members of the fellowsh… oh wait never mind.

The 9 members the council of nine which jointly rules Illian.

Didn't notice @themann1086 beat me to the rods.

 

Book 9, Winters Heart - One of my favorite WoT Books, even though many hate it for the slog.
