Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Wheel of Time gets graphically novelized

Pulling this thread back from the depths since I am reading the series again from the start and am up to book 6. (lord of chaos).

I'm looking for a good reference to look up characters, like the Wheel of Time database. However, I don't want to get spoliers, so when I look something up I want to be able to have it not provide anything not known by the end of book X. That way I can get a refresher on who a character is without finding out something that happens with that character 3 books from now.

Does anyone know of such a resource?

I have spreadsheets on each book with data on the forsaken up to the end of the book. PM me your address and I can send them to you. It's not all the characters, but at least it's some.

Ken will also send you a chart diagramming the secret handshake. . .









Um, sorry Ken, I couldn't resist.

Thanks to the final book actually having turned into a Trilogy and the generosity of a certain board member, I just may finish my re-read before the final book is published. I just started Towers of Midnight. Almost guaranteed a win unless I lose my eyes to a rogue seagull. You may laugh but I recently had muscle shells dropped on my head for the second time in as many years. They are out to get me I tell you!

The birds really do have it out for you, Andrew!


I will wait until the last book gets published before I start rereading the series again. Probably end up buying newer copies since the ones I own are nice and yellowed now, I bet.

Ya,
My lawn is always a veritable graveyard of creatures from the sea. Clam shells, crab shells, lobster shells, small flounders and other fish, whole or remains. One morning we even found a dead eel. The fish and the eels were likely the local Osprey's catch. It's amazing what they come up with after a spectacular dive bomb into the water.

As an animal lover, I will admit that eels repulse me. I don't mind snakes but these eels are like slimy, dark, oily snakes with an ominous looking fin like tail. I spent a childhood swimming at a beach where when you got out so deep there was nothing but eel grass and if you stepped on an eel, they tended to instinctively wrap around your leg and sometimes, although rarely, take a bite before fleeing off in panic.

The old timers around here eat them. I've tried to eat them as a form of revenge but the meat remains very oily and very fishy in a non-pleasant way. I can't stand them.

Sorry, did I derail this topic enough yet?

I'll add in another WoT mention just out of guilt. Towers of Midnight is the first novel I'm reading on my Kindle. A lot of my previous WoT books were hardcover so I am really enjoying not wrestling with the size and weight of these 800 to 1000 page epics.

That's a good point about the physical size of the books. Kindling them might not be a bad idea. I still need to start my re-read of the series. I should try to time it so that I'm done reading what's out when the new book hits, since I don't want to inadvertently hear what happens in the end before I've had a chance to read it.

Eels? Do you have a hovercraft?

Thanks Ken, I have your spreadsheets. I'm basically looking for that with all of the characters listed. A large undertaking, but I figured there could be a fan site out there that did it already. For example, on the first page of chapter 28 in book 6 the following names are mentioned:

Herid Fel, Idrien, Meilan, Maringil, and Colavaere. I think I know who at least some of them are, but hesitate to look them up online for finding spoilers. None of them are in the glossary in the back, so that doesn't help.

OK, so I looked them up to verify. I had the last 3 right, didn't know the first two. I found the WOT Wiki . It looks like I can read just the first sentence about a character to find out who they are without seeing spoilers.
