Scottish Fan

[mikeyquinn]

Hi everyone, pretty old fan of the series, had the books sitting in storage for a long while, just recently got them out again, and reading them with the mindset of a 22 year old rather than a 15 (maybe) year old, has made me appreciate them so much more, only problem with the books is no one i know reads them D: So its nice to find a community dedicated to what i consider the best fantasy epic ever written, anyway, cheers guys!

Hi Trolloc's Cook Pot, welcome to DM! :D

 

I'm glad you decided to join! Who is your favourite character?

 

Have fun exploring Dragonmount, and if you have any questions ask away :)

 

I hope you love it here

[mikeyquinn]

Hey!, Thanks for the welcome, as for favourite character, I think the whole Aiel Race (excluding those sneaky shaido of course) is my fav, they are just too badass :D

[Crimson_Ayla]

That's ok :D

 

I love the Aiel too; they're awesome, and I think they are the most genuine set of people in the books :)

[mikeyquinn]

Yeah, defo, and after reading TSR with its description of what the Aiel go through during the breaking to become what they are in the books, heart breaking stuff.

[Crimson_Ayla]

For me, especially heartbreaking when you think about...

...what Avi sees about the possible future of the Aiel through the ter'angreal in Rhuidean.

 

(ToM spoilers :))

Haven't got that far yet, only have the books up to and including TPoD, but considering how much i love the Aiel, and that little titbit, it wont be long untill i have read it :D.

[Crimson_Ayla]

Heh, that's what the spoiler thingy is for

 

I sometimes wish I hadn't already read the books, then I could get to read them for the first time all over again :)

[mikeyquinn]

hahaha yeah, i noticed the spoiler, but didn't notice the "ToM" bit lol. But thankfully, it was a spoiler only in that it made me want to read on, just so i can find out, and i can certainly agree with that, the 6 or so years between my readings have made it so that although i know the general story, its almost new, and of course i have the books i haven't actually read yet to come :D :D :D

[Crimson_Ayla]

*jealous* :D

 

Well, I'm glad I didn't ruin it for you :L

[Elgee]

I still find stuff I never noticed before on every read through. Tiny things mostly, like a brief mention of Elyas and his Aes Sedai in The New Spring. I think I squee'ed like a girl

 

Anyhoo, welcome to DM!

Jordan created an amazing culture with the Aiel. They are reminiscent of the Fremen from Frank Herbert's Dune. I think it's cool to see influences from previous great authors in any modern literary work. I absolutely LOVE the WoT series and re-read the entire series evertime a new book is due to come out, so it is all fresh in my head. LOL
