The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories...that won't leave you alone even after you've put the books down. This week is all about those things we encounter in our everyday lives that connect us to the world of Wheel of Time.
For instance, this gem posted on reddit:
I definitely like the idea of the Green Man chillin' out, protecting the Eye of the World, making his own microbrew in his spare time.
I think we've all seen the yin/yang symbol before and lovingly thought of the Aes Sedai, but how about on your dietary supplements?
Is the Fang and Flame on your supplement? That's how you know it's balanced.
Here's another: "In the First Age, Mazrim Taim sought power by running a craft store, rather than becoming head of the Asha’man. Where did you think they got their supplies for making sword and dragon pins?" - Kelson on hyperborea.org
Ok, last one, and this one isn't quite so funny as it is maybe a little disturbing (or super cool, depending on your perspective I suppose) but I saw these bracelets called BOND
BOND is a tiny touch module. It can be a pendant or a bracelet but it comes in pairs. You keep one and you give one to a friend. When you touch it, your friend feels it. No matter where they are on the planet. We don’t do tweets, we do tickles. http://www.kwamecorp.com/2013/bond-touch/
Can't help but feel like these are eerily similar to a'dam? I wonder if maybe the inventor has read Wheel of Time? Or they could be the inventor of the a'dam reborn! What if these are invented in our Age and then get modified as a'dam in another Age? My mind is reeling with possibilities, someone slap me before I really go off the deep end.
What have you seen in real life that reminds you of Wheel of Time? I think we've all had something, whether it's that woman who walks by you on the street who looks exactly like how you pictured Faile, or that "Mother's Milk" tea that you can't help but mumble "in a cup!" under your breath every time you see it.
Artifacts of the Third Age are everywhere, you need only look.
