  Speaker 1: They on it.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Options because.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And in the middle of this meeting, Suwan arrives with
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: news that the Black Asia has attacks because while they
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: were in while they were meeting, they set a trap
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to lure to lure out the Black Asa and Massana
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and Agwayne readies herself to fight and she asks Uh
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and she asks Amos and Barr to join them because
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: because the Wise Ones as there were several Wise Ones
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: who are very skilled UH, who are very skilled dream
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: walkers there and they readily agree to join them against
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: fighting the Dark, the Dark the Black Asia. So this
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is where this is the part of the story where
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Paren and his in his fight against Slayer takes them
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to Tarva Lan and when they show up, they their
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: fight takes them into the White Tower itself and they
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: do run across Agwayne in her group as they're fighting
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the Black Aja in the dream world. Her group has
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: managed has already managed to kill several Dark several of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the Dark Friends. They realized that the dreams they noticed
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that the dream Spike was preventing them from traveling or
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: like escaping from the dream world, which angers Masana, Parent
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and Igwayne cross path. And while while you have like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a short like a brief reunion. Uh they're immediately attacked
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: by one of the Black Sisters and she shot. She
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: fires a beam of bailfire at them, but Parent, having
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: been training excessively on how to use his powers, he
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: uses his knowledge of the dream world to simply unweave
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the bailfire, making it vanished before it could touch them like.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Agwayne is shocked because she's like, wait, how did you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: do that? Like belfire is unblockable, but they but they
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: don't have much time to talk about it. She has
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to go back and continue her fight against the Black Ajia,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: while Paren has to continue his fight with the Slayer.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Now back in the real world, Gowan returns does return
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to the White Tower, and he rushes to Agwayne's room
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because he realized because after learning more about the Blood Knives,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: he knows that they're a serious threat and they need
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to be stopped. He rushes into her room only to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: find that the Blood Knives are about to assassinate her.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: He does catch about three of them and engages them
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in a very fierce and like nearly life ending fight.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: The Blood Knives are skilled and masterful swordsman Gallon himself,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: being a blaze master, is able to fight them fend
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: them off, but he is seriously injured. He does manage
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to kill all all three of the Blood Knives, but
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: after he after he defeats them, he does collapse and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: pass out from his injuries. Back in the back in
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the dream world, Agwayne is desperately fighting the Black Asia
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and at one point one of the initiates of the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: White Tower, a girl named Nicola, who has been causing
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of trouble for Agwayne recently because she Nicola
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: herself is she is gifted in the power, and she
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: has several other talents. But the thing is, she's that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: kind of girl who thinks that she's more advanced, that
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: she should be considered more advanced and given more special treatment,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And even though everyone else tells her, no, you're not ready,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: she often rushes headlong into into different things and she
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: gets herself into more trouble. Particularly in this case, she
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: managed to She manages to get a hold of a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: dream on grill of one of the dreams to Angriel
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and tries to join the fight against the Black Aja,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but she is killed in the process, which I was like, ooh, girl,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you mm hmm. It's a shame, but oh, well, what
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: can you do? She did? She did? Roby uh. In
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the middle of the fight, Agwayne notices one woman who
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: she believes to be Massana, and she chases her into
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a room. And in this room she summons a spear
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and throws it at her. But the woman she and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: as the woman she ends up killing, is actually one
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the Black Sisters in disguise, while the real Massana
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: sneaks up on a GWayne and fastens an a dam
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: around her neck. Now, at first, yeah, at first a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: GWayne is Initially she's terrified, but then she remembers that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in the dream world, things are what she makes things
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: are going to be what she makes them to be.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So because since she's in control, she wills the Adam
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to become inert and unlock. So the ADAM just pops
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: off its off her neck and she ends up having
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a bit of a stare down with Massana. Massanas threatening her,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Agwayne is just remaining her composure and she's like, you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: got nothing on me. In this world. I'm more powerful
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: than you. And the thing is Massana. She's not a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: natural dream walker like Agwayine is, so she doesn't actually
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: know much about how to use the dream world to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: her advantage. But she doesn't understand enough that she knows
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that she can enforce that while in the dream world,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: she can enforce her will on the world around her
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and on others too, And she tries to do that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with Agwayne, to try to break at Gwayne's will, But
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: agwayinne Declare tells her that she's not just agwayinne Alvir,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: but she's the Ambulance Seat, and she is the White
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Tower itself. So Agwaine basically pulls on the power of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the White Tower, because the White Tower has significance. It's ancient.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's been around for three thousand years, all right. It's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: been a pillar of light and stability for through many
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: different battles, the Trollic wars, the expansion of archer hot
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Wings Empire, and Hell even now against the Sean Shan.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So with basically this pillar of I guess, this pillar
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of ancient power you could call it, she enforces her
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: own will against Massana and they have a bit of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a like mental like they have this like battle of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: wills against each other. And the thing is is that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: since Agwayine is calling upon the power of a much
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: greater force, this causes something to snap in Massana, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Massanna drops to the ground, unconscious, eyes vacant. She's still alive,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but her will has been completely broken. Agwayne goes and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: finds Nineve and the other wise Ones, everyone having survived
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the Black Eye. Remains of the Black Aja have fled,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and they've defeated the and they've basically defeated one of
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the last of the one of the last Forsaken. Later on,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: after searching the tower in the real world, they do
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: find Massana's body. She had disguised herself as one of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the sisters of the Brown Aja, so Massana still technically alive,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: but she's brain dead now. The Wise Ones tell her
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that when they've seen something similar happen where the where
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a person's will was broken by the dream world and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: as a result, they'll never be able to function like
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a normal person again. It's permanent, so they don't have
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to worry about Massona ever coming back like returning to herself. Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: When Agwayne awakens, however, she finds Gowan passed out next
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to her bed, surrounded by the bodies of the Blood Knives.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: She realizes that he's dying, so she tries so she
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: uses her own rudimentary healing on him. Agwayne doesn't really
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: have the much ability or talent with healing, so she's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: only able to do so much for him. But she
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: finds that the only but she realizes the only way
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to save him is to bond him, to bond him
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: as her ward so she does so. She does so,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: bonding him as her warrior, her warder, and of course
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: submitting to him like I'm in love with you. Yeah,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like it, but but it's all good. Gallant Lee Gallons
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: survives and they do later on get end up marrying
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: each other, and he and he does the suit yeah
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and he uh, and he assumes her his roles as
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: her warder. He he recovers from his He does recover
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: his from his wound wounds, and he does make a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: promise to obey A GWayne in everything if she lets
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: him protect her. And of course they arrange for their weddings.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: He they do arrange for a private wedding. Uh. He
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: does pocket the blood knives tarangreoal rings mm hmm, so
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he does keep him for later taking note of that.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: People hint, hint, we are nearing the end of her story.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Agwayne and uh A GWayne at From this point, Agwayne
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: gathers uh her people. The she gathers the isid I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: who will be uh we're strong enough to fight in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the up coming bat and the final battle. She has
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Scareth gather their forces and after opening a series of gateways,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: they travel to the field of marri Lore and when
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: she arrives there, she learns to who else. She learns
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: who else has arrived. They see that Elaine has arrived,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and they're also shocked to see that more gaze is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: there too, because at this point they haven't they haven't
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: learned yet that more Gasee is still alive, though she
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: had her suspicions though she although Agwayne had heard reports
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of it. And from here this is where Igwaine's story
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: ends in book thirteen, at the field of Marrillor, waiting
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: for the Dragon Reborn to make his proclamation. I saved
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Matt's story for last because his story has a bit
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: more of an impact in this because he's now going
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to He's going to be undertaking one final bat. He's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: going to be undertaking one final mission. Uh. He he
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: felt he made good on his promise. He got a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Lodra to Camlin and they were able to meet with
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the Lane to uh discuss developing her weapons what she
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: calls dragons, which are literally freaking cannons. There's a freaking
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: there's a proper name. Yeah, there's a proper name for these,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: for those old candid those old cannons. I know there's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a proper name for them, but I'm just referring them
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to I'm just referring to them as cannons. Uh, you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: old fashioned where you stick a bait, you stick gun powder. Uh,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: like you stick gunpowder another like uh fuck what they
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: call it, like a quickening agent and then uh the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: ball itself like the iron the steel ball itself, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: then they light and then they light au they ignite
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a little flint and boom. But before I get to Matt,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: there is a couple there is like a couple other
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: people that I want to a couple other stories I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: want to close out real quick. So several times throughout
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the story, let me there are several other characters besides
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Elaine and Matt. Oh, I've almost forgot about Elaine. Well,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: her story is going to go hand in hand with Matt,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: so we'll talk about her at the same time we
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: do also see a bit of a story from the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: perspective of one of the a shaman in the Black Tower,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a man named andrewl. Andrew himself is considered one of
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the He's considered the weakest channeler in the Black Tower,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: mainly because he himself is not able to channel at
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: a large amount of power. He is able to channel
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: enough to qualify to be in a shaman, but as
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of but so so and so far, he is not
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: strong enough to be considered a to be made into
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a full of shaman. But Androl has to be is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: dealing with other issues within the Black Tower, mainly the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: clear division between Mazrum Taim and his own little chosen
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: circle of a Shaman. This little circle of his a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: shaman are men that he are a group of men
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that he himself selects to be a full of shaman.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And these men that Angel has begun noticing are very
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: aggressive and real scum of the earth type people like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he knows that there's something wrong, something's going on. Uh.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: The reasons and the reason why Angrel has mentioned is
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: because he does he will have a Andrew will have
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a bigger role to play in the coming book. In
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the coming story, he uh. Despite the fact that Angrel
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is considered the weakest a shaman in the Black Tower,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Andrel has a special talent, so channelers can many so
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: depending on the chandeler, some channelers have unique talents. These
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: talents allow them to do extra feats with the power,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: or they have or they just have like a separate
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: ability that's not technically a part of the power, but
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it's a little something that gives them edge. Like for example,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: in the White Tower, many of the Isidi are born
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: with are born with the power of foresight, so they
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: can they can have four tellings, like they can predict
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the future kind of more of that, like and more
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of that like you're gonna die in seven days kind
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: of prediction.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Oh shit.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, well maybe not so much as like, oh, you're
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: gonna die in seven days. But they have like prophetic
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: like tellings or they go into a trance and then
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: they like speak like a like in riddles of what's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to come. And then another case is certain talents give
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: them the ability to to achieve uh, to achieve certain
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: feats with power. Like Ninive has a talent of healing,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: so she's especially skilled and adept at healing. Igwayne has
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a talent with earth with earth weaves, which means so
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: she's able to uh, she's able to more easily use
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: weaves of earth much better than other women, even men.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: In some cases, Elaine has a talent for making tarangreol,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: which is why she's a She was able to replicate
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and reverse engineer other tarangriol. Now she's still grown now,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of course her talent is still she's still developing her talent,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: but for her, creating new tarangreole is very easy. And
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in Andral's case, Androl has a talent for creating gateway.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So the weaves for traveling, they do require a certain
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: level of power, like you have to be able to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: at least at minimum channel a certain amount like I
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: don't know what tier it is, but you have to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: be of average, like a certain above average strength in
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: order to properly channel. That's good in order to properly travel.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I can't talk to him, like there's so much shit
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: going on. But Angrel his talent allows him to allows
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: him to open gateways with just his minimal amount of power,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: he can easily open gateways of various sizes, even great
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: like massive sizes. And in some cases like his talent
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: with traveling. It makes him better at traveling than even
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: channelers of like RAN's power. Like Ran, he can open
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: pretty big gateways. But Arel with his minimal amount of
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: his minimal strength and power, he's able to open up
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: gateways that are bad, that are as big as Rands
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: or even bigger. So he's very it's a very useful
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: ability for him.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Now, Andrel was raised to the rank of dedicated by
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Logan because Logan, unlike Tayim, recognized Androl's ability talent, and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: knew that his talent as his talent is more than
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: enough to make him worthy of being a dedicated, which
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: is like the second rank in the in the shaman.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Now he's dealing like I said, he's dealing with his uh,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: with his division within the Black Tower. You know, there
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: are the men that Tayim determines worthy enough of being
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in his inner circle to be full shaman. But these
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: men are often the scum of the earth. And in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: some cases there were good men. There were good men
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: that were raised to be a full shaman. But he
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: noticed that these once good men, like good level headed men,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: suddenly have a totally total personality change. It's like they
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: did a complete flip. Yeah, all right, Like they go
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: from being good, helpful people to suddenly being aggressive and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: hateful people when they become full of shamp when time
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: makes him into a full of shaman. And because and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: because of this, Andrew along with some other men, including
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: some along with some of the other dedicated including some
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: from the two Rivers from Rand's home country, they look.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: They decide to look into what's going on in the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: within the Black Tower and they try to find evidence
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to give to Logain that time is up to no good.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Now at this point, they haven't seen Logain in a while,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and they're worried because they know Logain was supposed to return,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: so they have no no idea where he is outside. Uh.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: They do notice that, uh that outside Uh. They do
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: notice that not outside the Black Tower, but roaming the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: tower grounds are a trio of sade red sisters. In fact,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: these sisters were the ones from uh were the very sisters,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: mainly a woman, mainly two women named Javindra and Pavara.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: These were the blacks. These were the not sorry, not
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the black black Sisters, but these were the Red Sisters
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that had come together and agreed that in order to
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: control the ashaman and prevent them from go from going
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: on a rampage, the Red the Red Aja needs to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: change their roles as the men catchers and rather the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: men wranglers and become more of men wrangulars, because since
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: there's more, there's now the men. They gotta they gotta
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: change their roles from being the ones that capture male
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: channelers and gentle them and to being the ones to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: wrangle them and keep them in check. So they they
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: did go, They did reach the Black Tower, and they
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: did uh Kym did give them permission to bond a shaman,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: but he's refusing to allow them to bond to full
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a shaman. He's only allowing them to bond to dedicated
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and dedicated her soldiers. So it's soldiers are like the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: initiates or novices, dedicated are the like the accepted. And
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: then of course there's a shaman who are the full
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: are fully trained. And the thing is the Red Sisters
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: are insisting that they bond to a full, a fully
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: trained a shaman, but time refuses while they so, while
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: they were staying while staying in the Black Tower, Pavara
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: notices that one of the uh that the other sister
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that they came to this tower with woman named Tarna.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: She notices that her demeanor and her beliefs have changed
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: at once. At one point, Tarna agreed with Uh. She
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: once agreed with Pavara about taming the Uh, the a shaman.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: But now she notices that, for one thing, Karna's eyes
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: look different. They look cold and unnatural, almost like they're
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: dead and now and and she's also agreeing with Tayim.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Pavara decides that maybe they should try leaving the Black
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Tower and regrouping to reevaluate their situation, But when she
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: tries to weave a gateway to leave, she notices that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: it fails, like something is preventing her from leaving a gateway.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna see much more of Androl or Pavara
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the story. That was their little
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: this little segue was meant to be, was meant to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: introduce these to introduce Androl and also reintroduce Pavara, because
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have a bigger role in the next book. Yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and they're also and those two will be influential in
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: stopping the not only stopping Tayme, but also making sure
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that the Black Tower does join the battle on the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: right side. Basically, they're gonna help liberate the Black Tower
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: from the Dark one, uh from the from the dark. Yeah,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: all right, well so we're almost so we're done with them.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: We're really quick. I'm gonna go over u Avienda's story
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and then we'll finally close out with matt Oh Brady.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Let's get a call when no.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know what, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: fucking eyeball it. I'm not gonna, like really just read
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: off the notes because there's a lot so Avienda she did.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: When she travels back to the Ideal Way, she doesn't
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: use a gateway to go straight to Ruidian. Wanting to
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: follow in her uh follow her people's tradition. She she
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: travels to her home sept which isn't that far from
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Wi Ruidian. But as soon as she gets there, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: after she ensures that she has all the all supplies
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: she needs, she begins traveling by foot to Rudian and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: along the way. Of course, she is doing this in isolation.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: She doesn't counter a strange woman. She doesn't know who
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: this woman is. They talk for a bit, they share ideas,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: but as soon as Avianda turns her back and then
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: looks back towards the woman. She finds that this woman
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is gone, of course, but the woman did bring up
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: questions that have Avianda uh does bring up some good
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: points about that has Avianda questioning her role among the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: ay Eel as well as their future, the a Eel's future,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: because she already knows that their future is not going
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to be in the Ael Waste anymore. The Aeel are
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: probably going to end up staying in the Westlands. Now
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: she wants to know. She wants to try to figure
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: out a way to ensure her people's future, but she's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: still unsure of things and hopes that when she once
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: she completes her tests at Ruidian, she'll be able. She'll
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: have much a much better idea of what to do
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: from there. So she does eventually reach Ruidian, and in
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Ruidian she encounters the She comes across the glass columns
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the arch the glass archways. Now, this archway is an
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: advanced trangreal that allows an individual who walks through them
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to experience the ancestral memory, the memories of their ancestors. Basically,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: it unlocks their ancestral memory. So typically so in Rand's case.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: For the men's case, whenever they walk through the columns,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: they see everything from their patrol line, from their father's line,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: so from their father, their father's father, their father, grandfather,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: great grandfather, and so on. And when Ran experienced it,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: he saw all the he saw the memories of his ancestors,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: going all the way back to the age of legends.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: And Avienda's case, she sees the same thing, but from
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: her mattreline mm hmm. And her when she does come
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: out of the glass columns, Avienda is somewhat disappointed because
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: now that now she already knew that the column what
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the columns were going to do. Traditionally that no one
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: has told what the columns are going to show you
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: that you're just told walk through the columns, and if
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you make it out at the other end, then you've pass.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: If you've made it out at the other end with
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: your sanity or alive, then you're then you've passed. But
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: once she finds when she comes out of the glass columns,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: she's somewhat disappointed because now that she knows, well, she's
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: already known, uh, she already knew what to expect, and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: she saw all of the memories of her people going
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: back to the age of Legends. And the thing is, though,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: what troubles her is not the past, but the future
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: of the aeel M, and looking that having come out
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the of the glass archways,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: she looks back to them and she tries, she tries
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: reading them. She tries using her talent to read tarangriel
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and what they can do, and finds that this Tourangreal
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: is so advanced and so complex that she can't fully
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: read what it's intended to do. But she does realize
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: that she does notice that there's nothing in there's nothing
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: about the archway that would prevent her from going back
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: through it, except in reverse. So she walks through it
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: going one way right, and she came out the other end. Yeah,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: And typically you're told you're only supposed to go through
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you're only able to go through once. And the thing is,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: most people who've gone through it are like, yep, one
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and done. I'm out, Yeah, don't really want to go
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: through that again. But in Avienda's case, she feels something.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: She feels like she has to. She just has to
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: go through through it one more time, and this time
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: she starts walking back through it the way she came through.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Rather than like go through the same entrance, she just
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: turns around and just walk back and retraces her steps.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And as soon as she does that, she begins experiencing
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: new memories. But these memories are not of her ancestors.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: These are memories of her descendants. Let me tell you something.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: The memories that she sees were in for lack of
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a better term, horrifying because the first memory sees she
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: sees is of an ideal girl. At first, she doesn't
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: understand who this girl is, but she knows that they're
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: in the waist and this girl is like a it's
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: like a street urchin she except she's she's surviving in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the waste. And for some reason, this girl has been
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: following this caravan of people who at first, I Aanda
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Avann does recognize who these people are. They're wearing gear
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and equipment that if you think about it, looked like
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: modern day like modern day clothes and uh like and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: like peblon armor. They had guns. Yeah, And unfortunately, this
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: little girl gets shot by one of them and they
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: call her an iel rat and so Alevanda experiences her death.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: The next one, she the next memory she experienced. The
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: next few memories she experiences are all in the I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: are all in the waist and they're off people. She's uh.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: These memories show her how her people basically get systematically
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: wiped out by the Sean Shaan. The Sean Sean ends
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: up invading the Iel Waste, and from the memories she
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: sees they're not using demane. They do use demane, but
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: at some point they start using uh guns and with
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: guns like you know, for like it got ranging from
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: like old style must gets to like modern day assault weapons.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: She starts seeing how they systematically wipe out her people.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: But the thing is is that the memories are going
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: back and reverse, so she's seeing it from the furthest future,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: coming back closer to her present. What the final memory.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: The last two memories she sees are of two of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: her descendants, Like now she realizes these are her descendants.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: One of the second to the last memory she sees
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: is one of her granddaughter, like one of her great
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: one of her granddaughters or great granddaughters. And this woman
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and this woman is it has been fighting in a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: war against the Sean Shan and they're losing. They're back
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: in the Westlands, and the Aeel have been fighting a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: war against the Sean Sean because the Ael have already
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: declared to Rand and to many others that they're going
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to go to war against the Sean Sean because the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Sean Sean have captured and collared several of their wise ones,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a large number of their wise ones, and they're not
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: going to stand for that. So Ael have declared the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Shawn Sean to be their greatest enemy. And the thing
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: is is that Avianda realizes learns that the Westlands have
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: been had been I don't want to say coerced, but
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: they had been pushed into signing an agreement, including the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Sean Sean. UH. They had all been pressed into signing
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: an agreement by the Dragon Reborn UH. This agreement became
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: known as the Dragon's Peace. The Dragon's pre Piece basically
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: locked everyone's territory as they are. The borders will no
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: longer change what the Whatever territory they own in control
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: is now theirs permanently. They can no longer, they can
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: no longer go to war with each other, they can
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: no longer infringe on each other's borders. It's meant to
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: be a peace, like it's supposed to be it was
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: supposed to. The agreement was supposed to ensure that not
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: only the Westlands day peaceful and continue and keep an
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: open line of trade and any kind of disagreements the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: like if two nations have a disagreement, the other nations
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: can step in and bring them to the table in
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: order to have a more peaceful discussion rather than just
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: send armies at each other. And this agreement did include
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the shan Shan. The shan Shan were allowed to keep
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the territories that they have conquered. That includes a Medisha.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry no abudor is the is the capital city Altara,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: as well as terrebah M. But the thing is is
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that out of all the people in the west Lands,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the only people that was not included with the with
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the Dragon's Peace or the Aeel. So the Ael basically
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do. They were in the Westlands and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: they decided to stay in the Westlands. But now they're
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: fighting a losing battle against the Sean Shan. Of course,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the Aeel initiated the war with the shan Shan, but
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the shan Shan being that having their own their own
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: superior forces, they're smarter and they learn and they have
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: superior battle tactics as well as the Demani on their side.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: The a Eel are starting to lose, and in her
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: granddaughter's memories, Avienda sees that her granddaughter tried beseeching Uh,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the granddaughter of Elaine, who is now the Queen of Camlin.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: The thing is though, that the future queen tells the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: a Eel her her granddaughter that she can't do anything
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: because of the Dragon's peace. If Camelin were if and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: or were to declare war like show support to the
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: a Eel, that would break the Dragon's peace, and the
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Shan Shan would then have open would would now be
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: able to go uh have free reign to invade the
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: other nations. So by doing nothing, it ensures that the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: dragon piece stays and stays in place. And then the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: final memory that Avianda sees was actually the memories of
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: one of her daughters. She sees that one of that
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: she learns from this memory that she is going to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: have quadruplets in the future. Yep, and they're all Rand's kids.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Of course they aren't.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: God damn rn like okay man like in those kids
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: he really is rans Uh. She realizes from this memory
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: that all of her children are channeling, will be channelers,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and for some reason, each one of them are born
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: with the connection to the power. In fact, like as
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: soon as they come, as soon as they were born,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: they all were born fully embracing the power.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: And typically a channeler only embraces the power when they're
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: about to use it. But for some reason, her children
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: all continuously embrace the power. They don't know why, but
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: she doesn't know why, but I guess that marks them,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that marks them as great as Rand's kids. Her she
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: learns that her kids, all four of her kids, have
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: uh positions of of reverence and among her people like
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: they're highly respected and look to for advice and for guidance,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: being the Cara Corn's children. The thing is, though her
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: children are all all four of her children are are
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: fighting with their people against the Sean Sean and even then,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: in the even now, even though they've only been fighting
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: for the Shawn Sean for a few years, they're already
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: realizing that they're starting to lose. And when that memory ends,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Avianda comes out at the other end, and she realizes
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: that she needs to stop Rand whatever he's going to do.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Like this dragon, this dragon piece. She either needs to
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: stop it or she needs to make sure that the
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Eye Eel are a part of it. Yeah, because because
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: if they're not included with the within the Dragon's piece,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the I Eel will be completely wiped out and they'll
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: have the same dreary future that she just saw. That
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: she just saw for all of her children. Yeah, I
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: gotta say when I that scene was that was a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: hard That was a hard scene seeing like just seeing
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the memories of your children and your and your descendants
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and seeing how horrible it is and how desolate that
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: future is going to be. It's pretty tough.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: So after after completing her journey through the through the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Glass the Glass archway, she immediately opens a gateway and
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: travels back to where she knows ran will be, which
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: will be the field of Mariller And that's where Avienda's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: story ends. We're gonna, I'm gonna, We're gonna now we're
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: now going to finish up with with Matt and Elaine story.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: So those two are gonna be their story is more
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: is more or less interconnected than before, uh than the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: other stories. So I'll be talking about them both. Uh,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I'll talking about I'll be talking about them both and
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: UH like going back and forth between the two of them.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Matt is now in Kaitlin.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: UH.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: So he finally, finally, after months of traveling and UH trying,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: having tried to escape Abu Dhar, He's found his journey
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: has finally come to an end. Varren had lived up
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: to her end of the deal and UH used a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: gateway to help him try and his people travel from
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: UH travel the rest of the way instantaneously, and now
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Matt is UH. Matt decided to UH. He agreed to
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: keep to keep a hold on UH the Varren's letter,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: but he absolutely refuses to open it because he doesn't
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: want anything to do with the isid Eye. And honestly, though,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: like by the end of his story in this book,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I want to just strangle Matt so bad, because there
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: was something very important in that letter that he should
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: have read about from the beginning. He should have he
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: should have just agreed to open and read the damn
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: letter because if he had, he would have been able
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: to stop something really bad from happening. But he did
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: it because he's a stubborn asshole. And but we'll get
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to that now that he's in Camlin. He's been uh,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: he's been killing time. He's been killing time in the
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: city by visiting taverns. He did, uh, he did send
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a letter into the city, uh, into the He did
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: send a letter to Elaine asking for a formal meeting,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: but she has not She has not responded yet. That's
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: mainly because one of her primary uh, her butler. Basically
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: he's basically her uh like her accountant, her head bureaucrat.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: He he screens all of her letters and when he
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: found Matt's letter, he thought it was just he thought
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: it was just like another idiot claiming to be a
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: close friend of the queen's and immediately threw it away.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: So she didn't realize he was in town or anything
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: like that. So that's why she hasn't gotten back to him.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: But while killing time waiting for a meeting with Elaine,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Matt learns that the Golum is in Caitlin, and it's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: been and has already murdered several people trying to get
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to him. Matt realizes that they're going to need to
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to deal with the Golum before
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: it does more harm or before it kills him. So
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Matt gets his people together and comes up with a plan.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: He learns from Tom Marylyn that they finally discovered figured
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: out where the Tower of Genjai is. But after meeting
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: with Tom, he returns to his tent out outside the
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: city in their camp and realizes Uh. He quickly he
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: immediately smells blood near his near his tent uh and
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: the golum attacks him Muh the goal. Matt fights the Golam,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: trying to use keep the golum at bay with his
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: eshandari spear as well as the Foxhead medallion because right
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: now the Foxhead medallion is the only thing that can
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: hurt the golum. Uh. The golum ends up killing Matt
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: serving men as well as two of the Red Arms
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: one of the ice at Eye. Teslin helps fight off
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: by throwing furniture at it. Because the thing about the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: golum is that golums cannot be touched with the power,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: so anytime a channeler throws a weave at it, the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: weave just disappears without touching it. So instead you have
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: to use the more indirect route by like throwing shit
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: at it, or like hitting it with stuff that is
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: not the power. Uh charged with the power mm hmm uh.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: The Goal ends up killing two more Red arms before
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: it before it escapes, Matt tells both Tom and Uh
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the vagabond Knowl, that they need to hunt and kill
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the Goal and before they leave for the Tower of Genji,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: and he also needs to talk to Elaine about a
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: loser's dragons. With Elaine, she is yet she's not yet
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: aware that Matt's in the city. Lately, she's learned she's
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: been allowing Mercenary bands to stay near Camlin. As Toomer
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: guid In approaches, she has given a letter from one
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: of their leaders. She had been meeting with several of
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: the Mercenary leaders and one of them had given a
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: given her a letter from Matt. The thing is that
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the letter was funny. When Matt wrote it, he was
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: pretty pissed off because she hadn't responded to his other letters.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: So it's familiar, profane. It's familiar. It's profane, and there's
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of swearing in it and men and mentions
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the need for bell founders, and Elaine immediately calls to
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: have him brought to her, and she she softly chides
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: her her head bureaucrat for not giving her the letters
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: from Matt sooner, but but understands why he hadn't had
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: why he had thrown her away because Matt's not typically
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: the kind of guy that would associate that would be
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: associated with the Lane, but he is.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: AH.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Before they meet with Elaine, the three I said I
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: that were traveling with Matt up until this point decide
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: to leave for Tarvalan. UH. They decided to take and
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: with them uh the thief catcher Julian, his new wife Sarah, UH,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the former Sean shawn Egeenan as well as Bail Doman
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: decide to travel with them with Elaine UH several of
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: her UH several of the kin of the King uh
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the former runaways of the White Tower to tell her
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: of their wishes to go to Tarbalan to prevent to
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: present their case to the Tower about providing a home
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: for retiring isid eye because what Igwayne and Elaine had
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: had all been thinking of doing was that should an
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Isidye decided to retire in their old age, they are
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: free to use the oath rod to break their UH.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: They would be given the ability to use the oath
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: rods to break their oaths, so basically rescind their oaths,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: and when that is done, they would their lifespan would
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: be returned to them and they would no longer be
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: bound by the three oaths. So and the Kin would
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: provide them with a nice little retirement because right now
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: most of the Kin don't really want to return to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: the White Tower. A good number of them do, but
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: in some cases, in a lot of cases, the Kin
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: are not powerful enough to be considered full isid Eye.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: They won't be able to complete the training to become
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: an accepted or even to complete the training to be
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: an Isidie. So the Kin want to maintain their independence.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: For the most part, want to maintain their independence from
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: the isid Eye, but they still want to work with
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: the isid Eye be a part of them. They just
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: don't want to be cast aside like they have in
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the past, or in other cases live in fears and
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: say it, and in some cases they ran away from
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: the Tower. Elaine comes to an agreement with the Kins,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: saying that they they are free to do so, but
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: rather than go to Tarba Lawn and try to create
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: a home, a retirement home for the for the for
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: a retirement home for the Isiday, they do it in Camelin,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: they stay, They stay in and Or and do it
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: in Camelin. Matt and Tom finally reunite with Elaine and
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: her and her warder, Bridget Uh. Elaine is happy to
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: see Tom. Matt is surprised to see that she's pregnant
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: with RAN's twins, but decides that but quickly tells her
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: that the needs supplies to build Elogis dragons. Uh at
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: first Elaine. So when Elaine learns of what these dragons
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: can do and what they're what their designs, what the
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: designs entail, and what they can do, she immediately she
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: immediately jumps on that bandwagon. She's like, oh, cannon second,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: blow shit up and they don't need the power. Yes,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I want it all. I want them, and she tells them,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I'll agree to I'll agree. I will agree to give
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: you all the supplies you need to build the dragons
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: on one condition. The dragons are to be an exclusive
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: weapon that only can that only and Or can use,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: meaning that Elodra would have to sell her designs only
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: to only to Kaitlin and they would be the property. Well,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I can I can see why because the thing. I
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: can see why because the thing is is for right now,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: since the on Sean are still a big threat and
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: some of the other nations are also pretty contentious. If
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Elusis dragons get out, especially if the Sean Sean get it,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: they would be even an even greater threat. Because the
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: shaun Chan are smart bastards, they'll not only quickly learn
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: how to make them, but they'll also quickly learn how
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: to improve them. So and at first Matt refuses to
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: do that, but they do come to an agreement in
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: which the Andoran Commission, which includes that and Or, will
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: commission the ban of the Red Hand to like they'll
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: commission them to operate the the Dragons as well as
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: serve as well serve as an independent force. And as
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: part of the deal, Elaine wants to borrow Matt's Foxhead
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Medallion for three days in an attempt to copy it
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: because she wants to learn. She wants to learn how
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: to create more of them, and to an extent, she
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: does figure out how to make more of them, But
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the thing is is that she's not She hasn't gotten
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: it right just yet. Like her her copies do protect
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: you from the power, keep the power from touching you,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: but they also prevent you from channeling, so if you're
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: a channeler and you're wearing one, it basically prevents you
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: from channeling, so they're not yet quite ready, but the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Thing is Elaine decides to test them, and also she
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: does have several dark friends, including a Black Sister and
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: her Dungeon, and she decides that she wants to try
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: to interrogate them. So she does this by trying to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: by pretending to be one of the Forsaken and the
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Thing and the Black Sister does tell her, does reveal
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to her of a plan to invade and Or, but
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: in the middle of this interrogation. It's at this moment
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and other members of the Black Aja had infiltrated Camlin
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: in order to release in order to either execute or
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: release the other sisters. In most cases, it was to
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: execute them. Usually the usually Dark Friends don't let others
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: of their of their kind stay captured. They usually choose
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: to just execute them prevent them from revealing more secrets.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Elaine is able to defend herself from the Black Asa
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: but and thanks to having Matt's medallion on her, she's
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: able to She is for the most part protected, but
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: she does get bull rushed by a dark friend named Meller.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Meller was a was once a captain in her in
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: her Guard, but he had been chased off because it
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: was found that he was a dark friend. But he
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: attacks her, ends up breaking her shoulder and tries and
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: stabs her, and he tries to steal the medallions from her.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: He does he wants to torture. He like he's a
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: sadistic fox, so he wants he wants to torture Elaine
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: for a bit, and he gets one of the other
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Black Asa to heal her, and just as she was
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: healing her, Elaine Uh pulls out the copy of the
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: medallion she made and like tosses it at the other
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: black at the Black Asia, and the Black Aja catches
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: it and her power immediately winks out because of the
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: flaws in the in the copy and since there, since
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: her power gets shut off, Elaine is able to channel
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: again and she uses it to Uh and Elaine uses
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: it to fight them off. Now they did almost steal
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Matt's Foxhead medallion, but she manages to get it back
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: before Meller escapes. After he escapes, Matt and Burgett arrives
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and they do manage to pull her out. Elaine is
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: much great is very grateful for the fact that she
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: has that she had Matt's medallion on him. She does
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: give it back to him, and they do discuss the
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: golm and they do come up with a plan UH
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: this one. This plan does involve the the use of
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: borrowing several of the kin, especially the ones powerful enough
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: to create gateways. So what they end up doing is
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: UH Matt goes out into the city, makes himself pretty
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: obvious to try to lure out the UH UH to
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: try to lure out the UH the golum Yeah. And
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: while they're and while they're preparing for that, Elaine, while
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: they're preparing for his plan to confront the goal, Elaine
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: has UH begun providing the UH the supplies needed to
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: create the dragons, and a Loodra produces UH the first design,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the first prototype design, and gives A and she herself
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: gives an oath to Elaine to build them only for
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: and Or, And later on they do perform a test
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: in front of the They do perform a test and
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: the working dragon that they have set up fires several
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: shots from the top walls of the city and from
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: a mile away they can see the dummies. They set
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: up just just completely get obliterated by the cannon shot
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: by the cannon ball, and Elaine is really Elaine is
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: really impressed and immediately orders that every bell founder in
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the city commit themselves to helping a Lodra create more
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: of these dragons so they can have as many as
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: they Her goal is to make as many of these
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: dragons as possible before the end of the month when
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: which is when she needs to meet up with the
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: other monarchs at the field of Marrillre. Going back to Matt,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Matt goes from tavern to tavern, making himself an obvious
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: like very obvious, and in order to lure out the
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: golum Ah, he keeps his Foxhead medallion attached to the
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: blade of his Ashindari so that way he can easily
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: hit the Golam with it. The golum finally appears and
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: uh Matt ends up chasing it into a burning into
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: a burning building building that he had set up for
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: this purse for the purpose of this trap. Uh mac
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Matt does attack it. He actually carried two of the
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: three copies of the medallions with him and they do
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: also hurt it, just like the real medallion does. And
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: uh he manages to force the Golam through a gateway
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: created by the kinswoman. And uh, this gateway was uh
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: was not a was not a traveling gateway, but a
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: skimming gateway. So skimming is an alternative form of traveling. Uh.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It's meant to be a way to bypass the traveling requirements.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: So in order to be able to travel instantly from
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: point A to B, you need to know the place
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: you're leaving from as well as the place you're going to.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: So like you have to be very familiar with the
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: area that you're opening the gateway from. But skimming doesn't
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: have that requirement, but it does take some time because
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: when you open the gateway for skimming, it opens into
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: a black void. But within that void, you could it's
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: kind it's kind of like telearandriode where it responds to
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: your will. So when you open the gateway with your will,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: you create a platform, and this platform basically carries you
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: through the void to your destination. So, with the gateway
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: open into the skimming void, he pushes the goal out
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: into the void where it basically gets lost into oblivion.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: So as soon as the gate as soon as the
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: gateway closes and the king and Uh. As soon as
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: the kinswoman leaves the Uh like leaves the gateway and
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: closes it, the goal is gone, lost into oblivion. So
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: that's how So that's how they deal with the golum Uh. Afterwards,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Mattuh he does complete his end of the bargain with Uh.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: He does fulfill his end of the bargain with Varren.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: He still refused to open that damn letter and honestly,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to if I like, if I were there,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: I would just smack the ship out of him for
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: being such a dumb ass.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: It is later that in the last episode I did
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: talk about how Paren and Uh, Paren and Uh if
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I'll go to Camlin and speak with Elaine as mainly
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: to appease her for basically forming a rebellion in the
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: two into the Two Rivers, and that's when Elaine is
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: reunited with more Gas and Gallad. From there their story
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: pretty much ends. Uh. Elaine's story pretty much ends. The
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: next time we do see her, she is traveling to
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: She does travel to the field of Marrillor to meet Uh.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: She does eventually travel to the field of Marylor to
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: meet with the other monarchs and also to hear wait, wait,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I forgot about this part. Uh,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna rewind that future Devin cut that part out.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Elaine does have a few loose ends to tie up
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: several of the the Andoran nobles who vide for her
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: for her position on the throne. She ends up stripping
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: them of their titles in the states and basically exiling them.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: She later meets with several important Kyrine Kyrie in including
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: a man named bertanmy and Lorstrom, and offers them both
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: lands within and or now the nobles that she stripped
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: the titles from and basically exiled them, She does make
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: them an offer that she could provide them with lands
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: in Kyrine if the two countries were to unify. Because
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: the thing about Elaine is that she is of She
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: is also of Kyrine descent because her father was a
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Kyne and a nobleman, particularly a man who is who
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: was next in line to be who is next in
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: line to be the king of Kyrine, and right now
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Kyne is currently without a monarch, so Elaine decides that
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: now is the best time to make a bid for
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the Kyrine for the sun throne of Kyrine. So now
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Elaine is going to become the Queen of Kyrine. Matt
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: is temper. Matt decides to leave. Finally decides to leave
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: after his time with his time. The time period has passed.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: He was asked to wait thirty days before going off.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: In his quest if he hadn't opened the letter, that's fine,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Varren just said, if you don't open the letter, just
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: please promise to stay in Camelin for at least thirty days,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: and after the thirtieth day you're free to do whatever
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: you want. So thirty days are up. Matt gets his
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: stuff together. He decides to take both nol And and
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Tom Marilyn with him to the to the Tower of Genji.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: They do, and Matt ends up tracking down Parrien and
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: warns Parrian of assassins that are after them. After sharing
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: some spending some time together Uh, Matt tells Parent of
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: his need that he of going to the Tower of Genji,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: and Parent offers to go with them, but Matt says
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: but Matt says he only needs a gateway from one
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: of the as Shaman because since Uh, where Matt meets
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Paren is that he actually meets them just outside of
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: white Bridge, which is not far from where the tower is.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: He just needs the shaman to get them closer a
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: lot fist a lot faster, so they make their way
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: to the Tower of Genji. Elaine declares of her intentions
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: to take the thro to take the sun thrown, and
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: she and her honor guard travel to Uh to Kyrine.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: They enter the Son, they enter the sun the sun
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: throw room, accompanied by the two Kirene and noblemen that
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: had traveled to Camlin. They offer their support, and many
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: of the other Kirene and nobles do offer their own support,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: and one of the eyes to Eye that Ran had
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: left behind in in Kyrine to make sure that the
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: city continues running in his stead, declares that Rand seize
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: the throne to Elaine. The thing is, though the Kyne
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: is still even with Ran and control, they still have
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: the very strong practice of the game of houses, so
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: it's very political. It's basically it's the Game of Thrones
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: before the Game of Thrones, and Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Robert Jordan wrote about the Game of Thrones before George R. R.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Martin wrote about the Game of Thrones we covered this
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: in one of the earlier episodes. I talked about this.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah you did, Yeah, I think, yes, yes.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Because the wheel of time, especially like the first couple
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: of books that came out, particularly the ones mentioning the
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Kyrine's Game of Houses, those were published years before George R. R.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Martin published his Game of Thrones books. So before you
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: start saying, oh, this dude copyrighted Game of Thrones, it's
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: the other way around.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Yeah, I remember you talking about that.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: It's the other way around anyway. So the thing is,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: before Elaine can even think about sitting her petite ass
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: on the sun throne, Burgett inspects it and finds a
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: poisoned needle sticking out of it, meaning that there are
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: some people who oppose her her ascension to the throne.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: But she takes it in a stride, takes the throne anyway,
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: and announces that the forces of both and Or and
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Kyrine will march together to the field of mary Lord
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: to meet Rand. And next time we see here is
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: her arriving in Marriyllre with her forces alongside her mother,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: more Geese and or other allies. Uh. And that's pretty
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: much what that's gonna be the uh that's gonna be
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: it for a Laine's story, We're gonna go ahead and
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: close out with Matt. With Matt. Matt has finally reached
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: the Tower of Genji, which looks like a massive metal
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: uh metal tower sticking out of the wilderness. Uh. The
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: thing is the only thing that they know about the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: tower is that the Game of Snakes and Foxes is
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: the only thing they have to go off go off
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: of like it's the game. The game explains the actual
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: rules involved in dealing with the both of both of
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: the Finn, the il fin species, the snake the snake
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: like eel fin and this and the fox like Alfin. Honestly,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to properly pronounce their names because
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: they're both spelled almost exactly the same, except eel Fin
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: the snake are they're spelled e A l fi n n,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: while the fox ones are spelled a E l fi
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: n n M. So it's basically you pronounce it the
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: same way, it's just spelled differently. They're both they both
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: exist in the same alternate reality and they know that.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: So they know that in order to enter the tower
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: they need to draw a symbol on the side of
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the tower, which represents how at the beginning of every
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: game of Snakes and Foxes you have to draw like
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: an upside down triangle with I think a line through
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: it or something. And so Noel draws the symbol on
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: the side of the tower and he finds that when
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: he does, an opening appears on the inside of the triangle. Now,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: the first one he drew was small, so they realize, okay,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: they need to draw one big enough for the men
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: to enter. So they do that, and they enter into
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: the tower and they find that they're in a strange,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: twisted series of corridors and uh conjoined rooms and things
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: like that. There's mist coming from the ceiling and pulling
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: into on the floor. They do encounter one of the
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: fin But the thing about the thing is is that
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: the Finn the the fox fin they do I'm just
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: gonna call them foxes. Yeah, they do encounter one of
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: the foxes, like Rauth the bat, and it almost killed
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: it does it tries to make a bargain with them,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: but because that's what the foxes do, they make bargains.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: But using the other rules that they learned, mainly is
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: that music causes them to enter like a translate state
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: and fall asleep. They start Tom starts playing his music
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: and it falls asleep right in front of him, and
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: they and they start navigating through this twisted labyrinth of
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: a tower. The thing is is that they have no
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: real way to navigate the tower. But Matt, being very
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: lucky as part of his taverer in nature, he just
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: decides he's just going to follow his instinct. He's gonna
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: just he'll take random corridors, He'll follow different He'll go
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: into different rooms, go through other corridors, and eventually their
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: party does enter into a large meeting room. While they
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: were making their way through it, they do find a
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: large cavernous room and in the center of it is
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: this twisted, melted looking archway, and they realized that this
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: was the This was the archway that had been destroyed
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: in Kyrine in the when Morain confronted Landfeir. So they know, well, okay,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: we can't get out through there's destroyed. But they continue
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: on and eventually come to the primary meeting room where
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Matt originally met the Fox met the Foxes and made
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: his deals. He had He did ask for three different
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: things with Uh, he'd asked for. Let's see, so he
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: asked for a way to be free of the one
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: power for good, and he had gotten the fox Head medallion.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: He had asked for a way to fill in the
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: gaps of his memory, which they did, but they ended
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: up just giving him the memories of the of like
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: ancient captains, strategists, generals, uh, the greatest tacticians of history.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: And then the last thing he asked for was a
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: way out of this uh of the Finn of the
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Fox's realm, and they gave him that, but he didn't
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: but he didn't name a price. So what they did
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: was they ended up hanging him from the tree, from
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the tree of life back in Rudian and they'd give
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: him and they did also gave him the Ashendari spear.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Once once they reach this new meat the meeting room,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: they do see that Moraine is there. She's enshrouded by
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: the same myst that's covering the that covers the floors,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: and seems like she's just sleeping. They reach her and
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: they do manage to wake her and get uh. They
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: do manage to wake her and they see that she's
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: holding a strange ivory ring it almost looks like a
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: person bent back on themselves and holding their feet, like
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: their arms are like stretched back out behind them and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: sore their legs, and like they're they're holding their own ankles.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: The figures holding its ankles, but it's like twisted backwards
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: in a ring shape. And when he asked what it is,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: he hears what he hears the foxes speak. They tell
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: them it is an angre all, the most powerful are
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: all ever created. In fact, it's so powerful that it's
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: almost considered a onre all. And that's when about a
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: dozen of the of the foxes appear. They they advance
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: on Matt and his group, and they look like they're
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: about to uh. They look like they're about to attack,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: but Matt manages to defend them off because their we
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: they as part of the game of snakes and Foxes,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: is that there's a chance. They figured out that there's
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: a series of rules when dealing with foxes, like iron
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: hurts them, music puts them into a trance, and so on.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: So they have iron weapons with them and they hold
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: them off for the time being, and they convince them
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: to make a deal with them. So Matt carefully makes
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: a deal with them to allow to allow them to
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: leave from the tower, say fleet, and that the foxes
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: will not attack them, they will allow them to take
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Moraine with them, and they will not be and they'll
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: and they'll be given a straight path to their exit
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: because whenever they were taking the whenever they were navigating
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: the labyrinth of the tower, they realized that the paths
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: would shift and change, so it never stayed. So no
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: no quarters to ever stayed the same. Yeah, and the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: eel fin agreed. The foxes have agreed to all to
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: all of his agreed to all of his demands for
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: price of half the light in the world. And Matt
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: knewould figured out uh he had been told that he
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: would give up He had been told by the snakes
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: a long time ago that he would give up half
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: the light of the world to save it.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: And he figured out he figured out that it's not
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: literally giving up half the light of the world. He
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: has to give up his eye, one of his eyes.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: So he agrees, and the eel the foxes come and
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: they pluck out his eye, one of his eyes. And
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: the thing is is that the foxes relish in pain,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: the sadistic fox and as soon as they pluck out
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: his eye. The fin the foxes are sadistic focks. As
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: soon as they pluck out his eyes, they relish in
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: his pain, and I believe it's part of the price.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: They do take some of his memories, but not all
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: of them, just like memories of specific like painful parts
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: of his life. And so they do take that and
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: fulfilling their end of the bargain, they create a pathway
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: directly to the exit and Matt and his Matt Noll
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: and Tom who's now carrying Moraine. Uh. This still somewhat
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: unconscious Moraine. Uh. They make their way through down the path. Yeah,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: and about halfway to their exit, they notice that they're
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: now being approached by other figures, the snakes. Oh, the
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: snakes are all armed with weapons. There they look like
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: they're pissed and they're look like they're ready to attack.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: Now Matt gets pissed himself, and he said hey. He
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: starts calling out to the fox says, hey, we had
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: a deal. You guys, wouldn't you guys wouldn't leave us alone.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: But then he realizes his mistake when he made the
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: deal that the foxes that they would that the when
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: he made the deal that they would have a straight
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: path to leave and uh, and they'd be allowed to leave,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: ah like unharmed. He didn't exactly Uh, he didn't exactly
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: word his price correctly, like his conditions correctly, because he
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: only worded it as the foxes would leave them alone.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: He didn't say anything about the snakes. Now, if you guys, remember,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: the snakes are the ones that Matt did also meet
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: in this stone archway through Tier. Now, the snakes, unlike
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: the Foxes, don't demand a price for what for their services.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: They give you three questions that you are free to ask,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: but there are conditions of the questions that you have
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: to be careful of. You can't ask questions about the
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: dark because there will be consequences. And you can't ask
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: frivolous questions. Yeah, they have to be questions of import
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: and questions that don't pertain to the dark.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, Matt forgot to include them in
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: the conditions of his deal. So now, even though the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: foxes won't attack them, the snakes will.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: So the snakes attack and while they defend themselves, they
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: get forced through a different corridor. And well, since the
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: labyrinth changes, they quickly lose their way through their path
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: through the tower and now they're being chased by the snakes.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: M and.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Desperate, Matt decides, Okay, let's try to escape using the
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: the sandstone doorway leading into tears. It's better than nothing,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: and using his tavern luck, they do manage to navigate
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: to the to the chamber where the snakes gateway was located.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: But when they reach it, they find that that gateway
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: is completely destroyed, so they're still trapped within the tower.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: Oh damn.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: Realizing that they're that they're gonna be quickly overrun, Noel
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: decides to hold off the the the snakes while Matt
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: and Tom with Moraine continue to run and continue to
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: try to get away. Uh. He encourages Matt to like
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: to keep going and that Matt will definitely find their
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: way out, and while they try to like they tried
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: to tell him, don't go, he tells them it's okay,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: just tell uh, just tell the world that Jane Farrestrider died,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: died doing what he does best, right and so Gene.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: So it turns out this this vagabond that they've been
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: traveling with since Abu Dhar was actually a world renowned
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: traveler named Jane Farrestrider. Stories of his of his travels
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: uh from from the Blight to the Ayeel Waste, even
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: to the foreign land of Shara, has been known far
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: and all across the Westlands, and they've been traveling with
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: him the entire time. So he holds off the eel Fin,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: and yes, he does indeed die, but Matt and Tom
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: managed to escape, and Matt decides that he's just going
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: to rely on his luck to find the right exit,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: and they do. They reached out. They do eventually come
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: to the to the chamber that they entered through, but
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: now they need to figure out a way to escape,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: and Matt is trying to is racking his mind like
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Okay, how did I get out?
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Like how can we get out? There has to be
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: a way out. And then he realizes something when he
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: when he made his three wishes with them, originally he
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: asked for protection from the power, way to fill in
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: the gaps and his memories, and a way out of
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: the eel Fin's realm. And the thing is he while
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: they gave it to him, he didn't really understand why
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: they gave him. He didn't he never fully understood why
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: they gave the ashindari, but then he looks at it
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: and he realizes, wait a second, this is my way out,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: and using his spear, he stabs it into the wall
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: and draws the symbol, and when he does that, light
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: appears from the wall from where he cuts into it,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: and when he cuts through, he sees that their way out.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: The three of them managed to get out of the
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: tower and they escape. They make camp not far from
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: the tower, and eventually Morain does come, does come regain consciousness,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: and she thinks she thanks Matt for rescuing, for coming
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: to the rescue, and she's also great. She's also glad
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: to see that Tom is also there. And the thing is,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: it's so it's kind of this part kind of like
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: caught me off guard because up to book five, which
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: is when the which is the last time we see Morain,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: there really isn't any indication or hint that Moraine and
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Tom had a relationship. But as it turns out, the
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: two of them did, and they did have feelings for
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: each other, and kind of like it's kind of turns
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: into one of those moments like we're at the end
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: of the world, do you want to get married kind
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: of deal.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: I see, I see what they did there. Yeah.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So Tom agrees to marry her and he's like,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: only if you make me your warder, your new warder,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I was like, okay, that's sweet. The
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: thing is, though, Moraine reveals that while she was given this,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: she reveals that she's now weak in the one power
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: after being drained by the eel Fin. And she also
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: reveals that they also killed Landfeir, which is why when
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Landfeir was resurrected as Sindane, Sedane is much weaker than Landfair.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: She's still incredibly powerful and one of the strongest of
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: the Forsaken, it's just that now she's not at her
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: peak level anymore. The thing is is that. But the
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: thing is that since Moraine was uh, since they kept
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Moraine alive so they can slowly feed off of her power,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: of her power, she was weakened to the point where
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: she can barely channel a trickle. And it's much like
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: the city. She's basically left in a similar situation as
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: what happened to Sewan after Swan. After Swan's power was
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: restored to her, she only regained about less than a
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: third of her original power. Yeah, and apparently Morain is
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: much weaker now as even weaker, but she reveals that
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: the ivory bracelet on grille that she has is so
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: powerful that it not only basically it not only lets
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: her channel at her full strength, but it lets her
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: channel or channel and it even even greater than that. So
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: there's there's the positive side to it. She's now much weaker,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: but since she has that agre all she can channel
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: it even greater power. She can channel even more energy now,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of a win. It's kind of a
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: lost one, a win loss kind of deal. She lost
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: her power, but she could still but she now was
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: able to get it back anyway. Uh. She tells them
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: that they need that now. They need to reach She
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: needs to get to Ran. She has to be there.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: She needs to be there with Ran when he clo
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: when he faces the Dark One, and ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: that is where our story ends with there with our
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: heroes h heading leaving from the Tower of Genji to
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: travel the field of Marriyllor. By this point, nations from
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: all over the Westlands and even beyond are beginning to gather.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: All the Borderlanders have gathered like a good number of them.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: The monarchs of the Borderlanders have gathered at the field
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: of Marylor with Ransh the New The people from that
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: arid Doman have also gathered. Elaine has brought and Or
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: and k and Kyrine with her. People of Tyr and
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: Ilian are there, and eventually the shaan Sean too will
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: arrive at the at the field of mary Lore to
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: participate in a the meeting with the Dragon Reborn, but
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: they won't be brought to the table until the next book.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: And there will be and there is even even a
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: few more, even monarchs from even from the smaller countries
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: like held In and Marandi will appear to join the battle.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: And this is where the book ends. But before we
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: close out our episode, this episode, there's one last thing
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: that there's one last thing that will close out the story.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Well two things actually. In the Blood up in the Blight,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: a merchant caravan led emerging Caravan is fleeing from a
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: large army of Trollacs. They're trying to escape further. They've
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: been these people refugees have been trying to escape from
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: the Blight from the Borderlands due to the now and
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: invading trollocks. But as they're trying to escape, they encounter
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: a group of Ayeel. But these Aeel are not dressed
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: like standard Aeel. Rather than dressed rather than dressed in
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: these men rather than dressed in the typical earth tones
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: of the a Eel and uh, they're dressed in all
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: red and they have a red veil covering their face.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: And just before the ael uh the Ayel attack, these
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: Iel do attack the menu the caravan and just before
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: they kill the merchants, they pulled down their uh their
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: veils and revealing point Uh. They pull down their red
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: veils revealing teeth file to points and they end up
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: killing the men using the one power I Eel channelers.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: These are Aeel channelers. Uh. They have a proper they
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: have a proper name. Uh. I believe they're called the
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: nassaying these men were the were I yield were Iel
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: channelers and anil culture. Whenever a man discovers they can channel.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Rather than being killed by their or gentle, they are
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: sent to the blight to fight because it's a It's
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: considered it an honor for them to do this, rather
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: than just be executed outright and go in dishonor they
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: are given the opportunity to use their power to go
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: fight the dark one h Well, the thing is over
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: the generations. Every time the Iel send one of their
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: male channelers into the blight, rather than being killed, they're
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: captured and turned and turned to the dark. Using a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: process of thirteen mirror drawl and thirteen uh female channelers,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: the Black Asia would channel power through the mirror draw
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: into the into the male channeler, turning them into a dreadlord.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: The process basically is like a morality switch. Rather than
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: fighting for honor and justice that switches. They're given a
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: onet eighty and now they fight for the dark and evil.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Before the story ends, we do see Lands an army
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: of about now twelve thousand men that he had gathered
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: from all across the borderlands. They have now reached Tarwin's
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: Gap and land proclaiming his rightful title as Lord of
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: the Seven Towers of Malkire. They charge for to face
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty thousand shadow spawn and oo
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: and and lastly, we're gonna go. Remember that letter I
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: told you guys, I've been mentioning about that Varren had
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: left for Matt, that he stubbornly refused to open. Yeah.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: Well over the boy that basically that was adopted by
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: the by Matt and his band, found the letter and
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: Matt's things that he left behind and opens it.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: He then runs to Matt's first lieutenant, tell Means and
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: gives it to him and tell me and tell me
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: and reads it. In the letter, Varren describes an attack
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: that will happen at a certain time, and that the
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: way that the attack is going to happen is that
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: Trolot forces are going to invade Camlin. And the way
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: that they're going to invade is they are going to
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: use the waygate that's literally that's sitting in the dead
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: center of the city as an in the inside the
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: city's walls. And even though Elaine has it has it underguard,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: the amount of Trollocks that will come that will be
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: pouring through will not only be more than than her
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: guards would be able to handle, They're also going to
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: be bolstered not only by mir Drol and other shadow creatures,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: but dreadlords as well, including the Black Asia. Oh my god,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: and the thing is Talmaans looks at the date of
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: when the attack was supposed to occur. It's today's date.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Of course it is, because of course, because of course
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: it is. Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: And the thing is is that Varren says that the
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: waygate needs to be destroyed, but it's too late. Matt
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: stubbornly refused to open that fucking letter. And now when
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: talmanes after reading the letter, Talmans looks over to the
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: city and sees that it's already on fire. Oh my god,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I was pissed. I was like, Matt,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: you fucking dumbass.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: Couldn't open a goddamn letter.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Were like, you know, you could have read the letter
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: and just said, nope, nope, I'm not gonna do it.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: Whatever issue wants me to do, I'm not gonna do it.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, I could have personally though, I would
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: have done that if somebody said, like, here, I'm gonna
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: give you this letter and as a last wish to me,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: like as my final wish to you, like as a
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: favorite to me, would you please do it? And if
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: I read the letter and see it's something that goes
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: against my morals, or like just I just don't want
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: to do it, I'll just throw the letter away, all right,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: I'll under no obligation to do it. Neither was Matt.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: But like he refused to open the damn letter because
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: it was from an isad eye, like I mean, and
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: also because the thing is is that he has a
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: bit of a he does have his own form of
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: like moral compass, and like he always he will always
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: fulfill his word. If he makes a promise he'll do,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: he'll follow through with it. So in his mind he
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: did not want to open the letter.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: See.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: The request and like feel compelled to follow through with it. Yeah,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: so he just decided not to open the letter at all. Well,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: because of that, Trlock's managed to break through the waygate
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: in Camelin and invade Camlin.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: That's what the story ends, folks.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: I kind of drew it out there, but let me,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it just pied that that part
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: really got me. I was like, oh my god, Matt,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: you idiots.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's idiots, man.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: Now, Thankfully, when this happens, Elaine is not in Camelin.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: She's at she is at Mary Laura with the other monarchs,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: but so is most of her army. Yeah, though in
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: a in hindsight, it's a blessing that her army wasn't
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: there because they would have probably been slaughtered by uh.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: They probably would have been slaughtered due to the fact
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: that this attack came so suddenly and swiftly that it
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have it wouldn't have turned out well for her
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: or her peeps. And so that is where we're gonna
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: end this uh end this episode. It's a little it
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: was pretty It was a little long, but this is
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: the this is the Wheel of Time, and these episodes
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: are going to be long. Let me tell you, guys,
• 1:27:38

• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be reviewing the final book in this series,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: The Wheel of Time, Book fourteen, A Memory.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: Of Light, and I'll probably be a two partern.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: Most likely it will. It's going to be. It's a
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: long It was a long book. There was a lot
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: of going on, and let me tell you something, it
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: had me on the edge of my seat. People that
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: we knew, the characters that we knew and love are
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: going to die, People that the stakes are going to
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: be high. For the most part, it may seem like
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: are our heroes are going to lose, but in the
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: end they will prevail. So how is that a spoiler,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: How I haven't. I didn't say how they how they prevail?
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: No, but they could. You could, they could easily. You
