I'm sure my "fan cred" is pretty feeble compare to most of you. Ten years ago I began reading The Wheel of Time but I stopped somewhere during Crossroads of Twilight. (Please don't ask why: I no longer remember.) But now I have a full set of the wonderful audiobooks and I'm letting them read the books to me. This way, I'm getting through about two books a week, and right now I'm starting Crossroads of Twilight again.

And once again I'm a bit in awe of the detailed world that Robert Jordan created. The breadth of cultures and the depth of the detail is impressive.

Beyond saying that, I don't have much to say to introduce myself.

In Chapter 5 of Crossroads of Twilight, Perrin says that Sebban Balwer has explained the Broken Crown to him. But if so, that explanation took place outside of the books. I don't remember that particular conversation anywhere.
