    @hathosisnilvera51606 years ago For those who haven't read the series, keep in mind that a lot of this information is intentionally vague because it happened 3,000 years ago from the start of the first book. Only fragments are known and Robert Jordan was a firm believer in stories and legends changing and becoming more mythological instead of factual over time. The farther one is from the event, either in space or time, the less likely one is to know what actually happened. Hence the references to Mosk and Merk, Lenn and Salya, and the Mercedes emblem being put in a museum (made of some unknown material that is easy to scratch). Meanwhile the current events in the book resemble or modern day myths and legends, for it happened ages ago.
    We are the source of their myths and legends, and they are the source of our myths and legends. Thus the wheel of time turns

    @AngryGoats5556 years ago I remember when it was first revealed that the AOL was actually a technological wonderland. It blew my freaking mind. I was even more shocked to learn that the first age and the legends told of it were people and events of the late 20th century ... 164

    @levikolevy7 years ago I love it when a channel does lore on worlds that I know little about or never even heard of in the first place.
    I'm getting tired of all these elder scrolls and star wars lore channels.

  • @
    @beageler6 years ago Great, but one thing makes it impossible to use it as an intro for new readers: One of the strongest scenes in the series is spoiled. I was shaking with excitement when I read: "You were always so full of thoughts, Elan. Your own logic destroyed you, didn't it?" ... 30

    @vipset876 years ago this is amazing. thank you so much for this. im about to be on the 6th book but i still didnt really quite grasp all of this through reading on my own for some reason. there are some things that flew over my head. this video is so incredibly helpful in giving me a better understanding of the series. i have a few friends that are gettin into fantasy who ask for suggestions and when they ask me what this series is about, its difficult for me to truly explain. im gonna send them all this video even tho it doesnt touch on rand or the other characters but more importantly it doesnt spoil anything and gives the basis for what u should know before jumping into the adventure of the 3rd age ... 6

    @frostwitch72346 years ago The Dark One's counterstroke was not by accident. The one power (not speaking the true source) was meant to be used by both men and women together. Male and female Aes Sedia. The tainting of the male half crippled the Aes Sedai, and created generations of hate, and disbelief. A man who uses the one power is destined to go mad, leading up to the red Ajah's witch hunts against the "false dragons" Here's what I have to say about the red ajah. Liandrin. Enough said. Are all reds Black ajah? Or are they just simply anti-male? Maybe they're just doing what they can to keep the people safe. I beliee the Aes Sedai forgot their purpose. To serve. To quote el'Nynaeve ti al'Meara Mandragoran "I do not have to make sense. I help others because it is what one does" Any wonder she's yellow Ajah? ... 22

    @tessierashpoolmg77766 years ago Wonderful piece of work! How about following up with a bit about the Seanchen or more about the Forsaken as they were in the third age? I just discovered this channel and am anxious to see your bit on Gandalf and Moraine, what a wonderfully imaginative topic! ... 3

  • @
    @davidsandlin96866 years ago Plot twist. The dark one is the creator. He just went insane while trapped and started to destroy what he had created. He was so powerful that he knew he would lose it and created tools (hero’s of the horn, taveran etc) to insure he could not destroy his own creation. When he injected good into the pattern he gave too much and his dark side became dominate. Think about it. ... 8

    @clumsyturtle85444 years ago So why didn't the Saidar help the Saidin to seal the dark one after their plan failed? They could of stopped the Saidin from getting the taint? Or maybe it was a lucky escape not to get tainted as well?
    I'm like 12 chapters from finishing The Eye Of The World so I'm sure I will get answers later on in this 15 book series, I'm looking forward to it.
