  1. Robert Jordan wrote many words in all of his books, but did you know he wrote blog posts too? Dragonmount was the home to Robert Jordan's blog when he was alive, sharing his thoughts as he proceeded through the creation of the series. Who knew that here in 2025 we would be honored to host additional unpublished words that he wrote. Today is a very special day because it is Tom Doherty and TOR's birthday! TOR is the publishing house that has published all of Robert Jordan's books and Tom Doherty is the founder of TOR. As a birthday present, we have been gifted a previously unpublished letter to Tom Doherty from Robert Jordan written in 2005. And we gift this to you, dear reader, to celebrate Tom's 90th birthday. Happy Birthday, Mr. Doherty. Thank you for everything you have done for The Wheel of Time. And thank you to Robert from Tor for sharing this letter with us and to Harriet for allowing us to publish this.
  2. So many places and this is a great start! What are you most excited to talk about?
  3. Welcome to Dragonmount!! So happy you're here and cannot wait to see your journey!
  4. It’s a mix of both. The Dark One was always bound, but able to touch the world. The Forsaken, however, were out and about until Lews Theron and his boys trapped them in.
  5. The Robert Jordan Memorial Scholarship is awarded by the community of TarValon.Net to people seeking higher education in pursuit of being a Servant of All. This year, two scholarships will be awarded, of $500 each. People in any accredited program of study are welcome to apply; this includes students in two or four year colleges, graduate studies, or non-traditional certification programs. Apply NOW! because the application period goes until May 15, 2024. Applicants are asked to explain "how do you plan to use your education in a way that exemplifies being a Servant of All?" and scholarships will be awarded based on the response. The Tar Valon Community Council will read the essays and determine scholarship recipients, who will be notified in July. More detail is available on the Tar Valon website. To apply, go HERE.
