I am the Lady Dragon, the leader of this Tainted bunch

 

*puts replenishing weave on the brownies*

Can't let them finish, can I?

[Thane Vakarian]

Welcome Willez, join us for food, drinks and general mayhem

[Willez]

Wow thanks all...only just seen this and the cookies looked amazing and the brownies are definately tainted by the looks of it, a slight 'erbal taste about them :D

 

As said before, I ain't ever gonna be Dragon like but Androl is the bloke, better to be the absolute best at something and poor at most others than your average joe!

[Hayl3y]

*raises her bottle of tainted rum at Will's wisdom*

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Very warm welcome!

 

Don't let the Lighties fool you, the real fun lies in the Shadow

 

[Hayl3y]

*steals a slice*

[Niniel]

Welcome to the BT!

[Panchi]

Fun lies in both sides

[ReleaseTheEvil]

The only thing that lies around here is a Lightie

[Panchi]

Hmmm... Nikon, here is a person you might use to perfect torture techniques on

[Hayl3y]

but i thought that I was the one who could perfect my torture techniques on RTE

 

O.O

[Songstress]

Welcome Willez!  Folks around here call me Tress, and the shadow may quake in their boots to find out that I've been newly re-appointed as a Storm Leader for the Light.  Rawr.

 

Be nice, or as Tina can attest, I may have to moderate the stuffing out of you.

 

(Once I get my mod powers back. )

[Willez]

I'm not sure I can go to the dark yet, Taim hasn't twisted my mind yet.

 

That cake looked good, made me think, has anyone got good pics of WOT cakes?

[Nikonis]

Well if he wants to be just like Androl he must come to the light...

 

Brandon Sanderson on Androl - I went to Charleston, and we needed a new viewpoint character, specifically someone in the Black Tower—we hadn't had...we didn't have the right viewpoint character for the Black Tower—so I said, is there an Asha'man you guys think that I could take over, so to speak, and really flesh out and make into a more...you know, elevate a side character to a medium level character, which is something Robert Jordan frequently did in the series, and they came to the decision that Androl was the person that I should take, and I gave him the gateway Talent because I wanted to explore what happens with gateways. And so, right there....we are all on the same wavelength; it wasn't necessarily me trying to answer your question. It was me answering questions to myself as a young man reading the series, wondering a lot about gateways. And so, Androl was a lot of fun.
In fact, there's another story there. At one point, I'm working on the series, and I get in the mail this envelope—it's a manila envelope from Charleston, and in it are a bunch of photocopied pages, and Harriet has written on the front of them: "Jim planned to use this somewhere. Can you fit it in?" And what it was was a detailed explanation from the viewpoint of a leatherworker about how one goes about using leather, and leatherworking. And this is the sort of detail, craftsman-style sort of things that Robert Jordan really liked to find places for that sort of detail in the books, and meanwhile, I've been sitting here trying to build a character for Androl, and I'm like, "Okay! I've got a place for it." And that's how Androl became a leatherworker, is from that stack of pages from Robert Jordan; it was just a photocopy of a leatherworker talking about their work.
