All right, we come to the end of an exciting round of Jeopardy. Here are the correct responses:

Category: The Two Rivers Folk

Perhaps the farthest traveled of the Two Rivers folk until the day the Trollocs invaded, this character was Second Captain of the Companions, a skilled bowman, and a doting adoptive father.

Called the best cook in the Two Rivers, this character helps run the Winespring Inn with her mayoral husband, Bran.

This Village Council member can be seen at the end of winter inspecting rooftops to determine their need for thatch repair.

Category: The Forsaken

This person's original name was Joar Nessosin, and he could often be seen with his harp, when he wasn't scheming to defeat Rand by creating a false Car'a'carn.

This handsome fellow made life much more difficult for Elayne by seducing her mother Morgase and all but toppling her from her throne in Caemlyn.

During the War of Power, this character tortured an entire city just to prove it could be done.

Category: Name That Book

Elayne bonds Birgitte, Rand leads the Aiel out of the Waste, and Rahvin is balefired out of the Pattern.

Egwene discovers Tel'aran'rhiod, Mat delivers a letter to a queen, and Perrin meets a falcon.

Rand destroys the Choedan Kal, Cadsuane brings Rand's father to him, and a Seanchen royal takes a new name.

LORD INGTAR OF HOUSE SHINOWA

I'm stumped.

Liminal means a beginning stage or phase.

Sure, you can skip questions all you want. You just won't get any points for them.  

Also, for what it's worth, answering a question wrongly deducts the points value from your total. So unlike certain standardized tests, it doesn't pay to blindly guess.

It's one letter short of LIMINAL

So don't delay. Post in this thread, and see if you can be our next Jeopardy Champion!

I wonder that if RJ had been able to finish the last 3 books, they would have been 15 books.

From the Encyclopaedia:

 

During the Knife of Dreams signing tour Robert Jordan disclosed that this was a trap set by Padan Fain. Rand channeled to escape it. Fain exhibits this ability to create illusions from the recent past again in Far Madding. (Winter's Heart, Chapter 33)

I eat more ice cream.

I'll be on call, working from 6 AM to 6 PM.

Welcome, arcsine. Your struggles with the latter book are a common tale. Nearly everyone felt the same way. At one point, I was worried that Jordan was not going to be able to continue publishing because so many people said they gave up.

Feel free to poke around and ask questions.

Hey, FrozenLake, just FYI. My handle/name here on DM is not Algai. That's my Warder rank. Here you can call me simply JamesBrown, or JB.

Enjoy the first book. I was a bookseller for 20 years, and I'll give you the standard disclaimer that I gave to my customers who were looking for a good fantasy series. The first book, Eye of the World, starts slow. Don't give up until you've read at least 200 pages. I talked to too many people who said they liked fantasy epics but gave up on Eye of the World around chapter three because nothing interesting happened. Just hang in there.

Hello back to you. Feel free to poke around and ask lots of questions.

Have you read any of the Wheel of Time books?

Congratulations, Cross. I'm kicking myself about the method of Trudy Monk's death. I remembered something about a parking garage, but thought she was merely shot in one.

Fun game, James T. Thanks for hosting.
