  1. Yes welcome Nyniamh. If you need anything feel free to ask.
  2. The Tower has punch and pie.
  3. Welcome to DM, any friend of Arie's is welcome.
  4. If you need any help getting acclimated feel free to ask. Welcome home.
  5. I'm pretty sure I would just be me. But taller, with darker hair, maybe a handlebar moustache. Definitely a tophat, slightly off center.
  6. I'll give it a pass. It doesn't really work for a traditional Before and After but...who says we are Traditional here 😛
  7. That's a good one! heh, I just grabbed my WoT glossary and look to find something I can play with. so like in the glossary you see Stone of Tear. You can piggyback off of stone. or Tear. "The Family Stone of Tear"
  8. Amen to that. Did you grow up watching the "Age of Legends of the Hidden Temple" too on Nickelodeon?
  9. I literally told Mother the Great Hunt for Red October after I posted this thread. I am so happy someone else's brain is on my wavelength +2 points! lol
  10. And I will open this up to everything WoT - not just titles.
  11. As with my post ages ago in 2021 - If you read this post I hereby order you to post at least one reply. No hiding! You manage to activate a Portal Stone and end up in a world when every title you knew from the Wheel of Time was involved in a mashup Before and After like on Jeopardy. What this means is that the first part of the title and second share the same word. so if the first book ends in "World" then the second part begins with "World" I shall begin, it is not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it is a beginning. My favorite was seeing Rand take the top prize on "The Eye of the World Series of Poker"
  12. I'm in agreement with this. I don't see the role being played any different than Chrisjen or Commodore Paris in Star Trek. She's an outstanding actress but I feel like she ends up getting shoehorned into a very specific role. Seeing her as a villain would be a treat tho.
  13. For some reason I have Cate Blanchett in my head when I think of Caddy.
  14. To be honest I wish we would just make shows 2 hours long, save about 20 mins worth of ads and put them in the middle like an intermission at a play. Let ya get up, stretch your legs, get some poppy for the second half. And do this for everything including the NFL. Ads only during the game intermissions between quarters. lol
  15. @Lord Eben You may initiate your interactions now. You have my permission. *shoo's towards others to interact with*
  16. I bet you its... black...tea. *Bows and walks out*
  17. Curious, at which point is it defined that the One Power carries knowledge? If that were the case then the moment one accessed the power would they not just KNOW how to channel, and not just instinctual stuff like rand "Willing" things to happen - but the knowledge of weaves? If that is the case why are any weaves or talents lost? Why would anything need to be rediscovered? Just distill a venerable Aes Sedai's knowledge into the Wheel of Time version of a Pensieve and call it a day - boom...everyone be making Ter'Angreal in no time. Additionally and related in some ways, few other channelers seem to have the same experience as Rand and LTT, which could be explained to the power in the SOUL that he is rebirthed from and not the power itself. He was unique in being GIVEN knowledge rather than having to be taught it in a traditional sense. This is supported in some ways with Hawkwing: "I have fought by your side times beyond number, Lews Therin, and faced you as many more. The Wheel spins us out for its purposes, not ours, to serve the Pattern. I know you, if you do not know yourself. We will drive these invaders out for you." So either he too had a similar experience with past knowledge as Rand, or his soul - once freed from its mortal coil - knows all the knowledge of his past. Either way it seems this knowledge is soulbound rather than power driven. Mat being able to bring forth memories from his blood implies as such as well. So I am not of a mind that the Eye of the World in any way contained any knowledge of the One Power, Channeling, or any such things but was exactly as it was stated. A repository of untainted Saidin. To be used in a way that even those that created it could not comprehend. I do not believe they in any way intended for it to be used in the way Rand used it so any "knowledge" imparted to him if it even was possible would not have jived with his use. That is like someone writing a manual in Aramaic about technical support for a HP printer, and you are using the manual to diagnose problems with your dishwasher and only understand English.
  18. SO in all honesty I think we are all here because we love the stories and characters and nations in the world. I think going too far in either direction - post TG - pre EOTW, whilst opening up a bunch of windows - slams shut the era that we all know and kinda centered our online identities around. But also make it a PSW, during another turning. So the names of people may differ - and the outcomes of the pattern of ages not so tightly hewn to the story we know. I think the ideal period would be possibly after the establishment of the current nations. But back aways - possibly just after Avendoraldera was gifted to Cairhien in 509 NE. We could explore a world where they and the Aiel were on friendly terms. maybe they DON'T cut the tree down in our world in Laman's time...how might that change how the prophesy needs to be writ since the circumstances would not have come to pass.
  19. Moved into the Glasswrights Series by Mindy Klasky
  20. I clearly am a fan of Cadsuane. Lol. That is my contribution to this thread. Carry on.
