70. Oh The Bowl of Winds. (W.O.T. Book 7: A Crown of Swords) · The Book-Watchers

• 0:05
  Lean on its Okay, whatever gets you're asked to time or guide in alive,
• 0:28
  We're gonna do it. But what makes what convinces Ran to accept her
• 0:33
  as as one of his counselors as his advisor. Min When she first sees
• 0:40
  Kat Swayine, she sees that Katz Wwayne is actually going to is actually probably
• 0:46
  the only eyes that I he can truly trust. And she tells him that,
• 0:51
  and she also tells him that Kat Swayne is going to teach him something.
• 0:54
  She doesn't know what, but she she is going to teach him something
• 0:58
  that will help him in the end. Mm hmm. And uh so,
• 1:06
  yeah, not much is going to be done with Kat sway in this book,
• 1:11
  unfortunately. I just thought, I just want to gush over her for
• 1:14
  a bit because she's a badass bitch, right Chia Baddy, Like she straight
• 1:21
  up bitch slat brand because the I said eye and they there are several weaves
• 1:29
  that they consider forbidden. Weaves of compulsion are forbidden, and also bailfire is
• 1:37
  a forbidden weave because bailfire is very dangerous. In fact, during the War
• 1:41
  of Power three thousand years ago, so many channelers are throwing bellfire around it
• 1:45
  nearly broke the pattern. And because bailfire isn't just a stream of light,
• 1:53
  isn't just a beam of light that burns you or disintegrates you, It literally
• 1:57
  burns your thread from the pattern. Damn. So you are erased from existence
• 2:02
  like and then like depending on how powerful, yeah, depending on how powerful
• 2:06
  the channeler is, you're erased back in time. So like you may it
• 2:10
  may look like you were killed, like in this moment with bellfire, but
• 2:14
  bellfire punched through the timeline and erased you maybe like a couple hours or a
• 2:19
  few days or even a few years. So everything that you've done is gone.
• 2:24
  You're gone. You've been because bailfire. Bellfire said, now you've been
• 2:28
  gone for three days, and anything you've done in those three days is undone
• 2:35
  Jesus. So imagine all these channelers in the war in the War of power,
• 2:39
  just throwing bellfire left and right. All that that's causing like fluctuations in
• 2:46
  the pattern, and it's disrupting time. Damn, near broke the pattern.
• 2:50
  So there was in this book there was a moment where Katswain and Wren are
• 2:55
  in danger and Wren uses bellfire to ward off a dark creature and it works.
• 3:02
  But then Kat Swayin just walks right up to Rant and just slaps the
• 3:07
  fuck out of him, and she tells him straight up, never use bailfire
• 3:10
  again. Dangerous. I'm just like, I'm just like, all right,
• 3:23
  sis. Kat Swayin is the before Elaine Igwainne and ninety it came along.
• 3:30
  She was the most powerful channeler in the White Tower. There was very there
• 3:37
  were very the the Ice that I had not seen a channeler of her strength
• 3:40
  in in like centuries. She is a little over three hundred years, which
• 3:47
  is a rarity for the Ice that I because they they don't live the Ice
• 3:53
  that I don't live that much long past the age of three hundred. So
• 3:59
  she's she's currently the oldest Isid eye. And you'll notice in these pictures she
• 4:05
  has a golden headdress on her bud, like especially the one where she's walking
• 4:10
  to that room with Rand and all the shaman. Yeah, so do you
• 4:14
  see that, You see that headdress with the little stars and crescent moons on
• 4:16
  it. That is called that is called a paralysmet. So a paralys net
• 4:25
  is a device that holds multiple different angriell and trangriol and they work together to
• 4:32
  basically create like a defensive net for you h. So one of these little
• 4:39
  ornaments is an angrill, which allows which increases her abilities, like her channeling
• 4:44
  abilities in like much greater heights, so it almost doubles her power. One
• 4:48
  of them, I think it's that little star right there. It uh protects
• 4:55
  her from being directly channeled at so if another channeler tries to like throw one
• 5:00
  of their weaves at her to hurt her, the weave will just vanish before
• 5:03
  it even touches her. So it creates like a shield that protects her from
• 5:06
  other channelers. And there's another one that looks like a little sparrow, and
• 5:13
  the beak of the sparrow will turn like the little charm. If she holds
• 5:15
  it up, it'll turn in point in the direction of somebody that's actively channeling,
• 5:21
  so she would use She actually used that to help her track down male
• 5:26
  channelers and to turn if like there's if there are anybody channeling nearby that she
• 5:30
  can't sense, right. And there's a few others so she has. One
• 5:35
  of them is a well which allows her to store like a small portion of
• 5:42
  the power, so that way in case if she's ever shielded, or if
• 5:45
  she's in like a steading or anywhere where the power is being blocked, she
• 5:47
  could just draw from the well to defend herself if she needs to. But
• 5:55
  overall, she's a bad ass. In book nine, when Ran like,
• 6:00
  she finally like it takes her two books to finally agree to be part of
• 6:04
  Rand's to be Rand's advisor, because when she first meets Ran, he kind
• 6:09
  of leaves a bad pressure with her. She's like, hm, nah,
• 6:14
  like nah, until you learn some respect, I'm not gonna help you.
• 6:19
  And finally he manages to convince her to help him, and she's like,
• 6:25
  all right, well, what are we doing now that you've done like your
• 6:28
  other foolishness here? What are we doing now? He says? And he
• 6:31
  told her I'm gonna kill I'm going to cleanse the taint on the source,
• 6:38
  and she's all like, oh, and how are you gonna do that?
• 6:41
  Come again? And he tells her, I just want this is not I'm
• 6:45
  not gonna talk about this in the books, so I don't bother putting this
• 6:46
  in this episode, but because this is from book nine, Rand pulls out
• 6:50
  the two access keys for the children call, and he tells her I'm gonna
• 6:55
  use these because she see the tropy call is not really well known. They
• 7:00
  know of the existence of these massive statues, but and the fact that they're
• 7:04
  so angry all but no one really knows how to use them because you can't
• 7:09
  use them without the access key. So he pulls out the male and female
• 7:13
  access keys and he tells her, I'm going to link with UH. He's
• 7:16
  gonna link with Ninive, and the two of them are gonna use the tod
• 7:19
  and call to UH cleanse the to cleanse the source. UH. So he
• 7:26
  too, He portals, he travel, He opens a gateway and they travel
• 7:30
  UH to this UH. They travel to this mountain ridge just outside of Logoth,
• 7:38
  you know that dead city where that entity Mashadar lives. So he takes
• 7:44
  them to UH to this ridge just outside of the city, and Key and
• 7:50
  UH Ninive linked together, and Ninive gives control of the link over to RAND
• 7:57
  and they're both pulling from the access keys. And the thing is is that
• 8:01
  the amount of power that they're drawing from the source using those access keys is
• 8:05
  so much that channelers from hundreds of miles away can sense what they're doing.
• 8:09
  Wow, And this basically creates a beacon for the Forsaken because the Forsaken became
• 8:15
  aware that Rand had gotten hold of the TODN calls access keys, so they
• 8:20
  were waiting for him to use them. So once they sense him using them,
• 8:24
  all but one of all but two of the Forsaken come running. Ishamel
• 8:31
  was reincarnated. He actually pops up in this book is Shamel's reincarnation is called
• 8:37
  Mordan now which means death. And Semarage the other female Forsaken that's as strong
• 8:46
  as land Fear. Yeah, real quick comment about those two. Landfair is
• 8:52
  a narcissistic sociopath. Semarage is a sadistic psychopath. That's so she's Yeah,
• 9:01
  Samarage is a bloodthirsty bitch, but she didn't she doesn't come running when the
• 9:05
  showing call uh is activated. So Mogetian Uh, Demondred but he's the last
• 9:13
  He's the last male chandler that hasn't been killed yet. Uh and reincarnated Grendall
• 9:20
  Sedane. So land Fair gets reincarnated as a woman named Si Dane's sitting or
• 9:28
  Sindane. It's land Feir reincarnated. Uh. See those two Grendel Demodrad.
• 9:37
  We'll get in sit Dane, Austin Gar. Austin Gar is the reincarnation of
• 9:41
  Agon or the guy that got the Forsaken that was killed in book one,
• 9:46
  and aram Gar, the forsaking that the who was is the reincarnation. Well,
• 9:52
  she is the reincarnation of Bothamel and I think that's all of them because
• 9:58
  Robin and some of l were never reincarnated. Well I don't think well,
• 10:01
  some OFO hasn't been reincarnated yet. Masana doesn't show up because she is currently
• 10:09
  in the White Tower and she can't really leave because if she just dips,
• 10:13
  then peep the I said, I will notice a damn. I think that's
• 10:20
  everybody, is okay? Still one Massana, Samarage, Morgan, Who am
• 10:31
  I missing? Robin never gets reincarnated. Oh that's right, Ballal has never
• 10:46
  been reincarnated. You know what, That's not important. So anyway, half
• 10:56
  of the remaining Forsaken come running and Kat swayin. This is where I thought
• 11:05
  she was such a badass bitch because she immediately took charge. So while Rand
• 11:09
  and nine were focusing on cleansing the corruption from Sidon, she organizes their group
• 11:16
  of channelers that they had with them. So there was like there were three
• 11:22
  a shaman with them and about half a dozen other I said I that were
• 11:33
  either sworn to Ran Or. They followed kat Swayin's they follow kats Wayne's lead.
• 11:39
  Rand loans Kalandor to one of the ashamen, and Katswayne had revealed to
• 11:45
  Ran that Klandor is actually unstable because it was made in such a it was
• 11:52
  made at the end of the Age of Legends, and they had made it
• 11:56
  in such a rush that they didn't really take precautions. They didn't really test
• 12:00
  it and make sure that it was safe to use, so it's currently unstable.
• 12:05
  And she warns him that if he continues to use it as is,
• 12:07
  it may end up backfiring. And so she tells him that the way that
• 12:13
  they can use Colendor's power properly is if he links himself to two isid I
• 12:20
  with one of the eyes that I leading the link, and they can and
• 12:24
  from there that link will allow them to safely control the flow of Calander's power.
• 12:31
  So that's what they do. She has two of her isid I link
• 12:35
  with one of these shamen who uh who's who uses Colandor. She herself creates
• 12:41
  a link with several other of her with a couple other of her isid I,
• 12:46
  and the remaining isid I link with the other two shaman and she has
• 12:52
  them set out all around the camp. And uh, there's another channeler that's
• 12:58
  traveling with the group, a woman named Olivia, and Olivia was a former
• 13:07
  demane from the Shan Shan Rand actually will free Olivia in this book, well
• 13:13
  actually no, not in this book, the next book. But Olivia is
• 13:18
  as powerful as Landfair and Semurag, so she's the strongest channeler that they have
• 13:24
  at their disposal. So when all of these channelers, so when all the
• 13:30
  Forsaken come running, Katswyn is using her Tarangreal that the little sprout Tarangreal and
• 13:37
  it'll whenever the Forsaken starts channeling nearby, it turns and points in their direction,
• 13:43
  and in Katswayn directs all the other channelers there's one over there, there's
• 13:48
  one over there, there's one over there. And their groups begin assaulting the
• 13:54
  Forsaken, and they actually managed to hold back the Forsaken. Right Sindane shows
• 14:01
  up and she and she ends up getting confronted by Olivia, and she tries
• 14:07
  to attack Olivia, but Olivia was given some toarangrioal that protect her from the
• 14:11
  from channelers, so none of U Sindane's attacks affect her. But then Sindane
• 14:16
  starts counterattacking, and sid, I'm sorry, Olivia starts counterattacking. Syndane's uh
• 14:26
  starts Uh, I can't talk her now. So after Sindane attacks Olivia,
• 14:31
  Olivia, having been protected by her tangriol starts attacking her back, and Sydane
• 14:37
  is shocked because she realizes that Olivia is was as strong as she was in
• 14:43
  her previous life. But the thing is, Sindane, when she was reincarnated,
• 14:48
  she ended up losing a lot of her power, so she's she's a
• 14:50
  lot weaker than she was in her past life, but she's still considerably She's
• 14:56
  still a very strong uh channeler. But so now she has to fight a
• 15:01
  channeler that's even stronger than her. And uh, let's see Demandrade when he
• 15:09
  when he shows up, he's immediately attacked by by the channelers and he couldn't
• 15:15
  get any closer. Uh Grendall couldn't get very couldn't get close either. And
• 15:22
  the thing is is that arang Gar, she snuck up on one of the
• 15:28
  linked groups and the shaman that was with that that was with that linked group's
• 15:35
  shocked to see that arong Gar is channeling sid In, not Sidear as a
• 15:39
  woman should be right, but thing is. They managed to fight aron Gar
• 15:45
  off, but unfortunately uh the young, a shaman that was with them,
• 15:50
  gets killed. But as they're fighting, uh Rn and ninive the the way
• 15:58
  that they cleanse the tint the tank from Sidon was Rand believed that the best
• 16:03
  the way that they can remove the taint from Sidon is by using Sidar to
• 16:07
  create a funnel, like like a tunnel leading from side sid like one end
• 16:14
  opens up into Sidon and the other end opens up into Shadharla Goth. Because
• 16:18
  Rand theorized that the darkness and evil, despite it being a polar opposite of
• 16:26
  the darkness and evil that is corrupting side In, it'll still be they are
• 16:30
  still similar, They're still coming from the same place, so it'll be drawn
• 16:34
  to each other. So Uh using Sidar, he creates this tunnel which he
• 16:41
  when he Uh uses Sidear. When he weaves Sidar into the tunnel, he
• 16:45
  realizes that Sidear is taking the shape of like something like a flower, and
• 16:51
  he starts funneling Sidon through the through the tunnel and with it, the tank
• 16:56
  begins flowing into it too, and and at first it's like a trickle,
• 17:03
  but then as more of the darkness on side and begins to flow through it,
• 17:07
  it's more and more of it is being drawn out of sight in and
• 17:11
  into Shadarlo Goth. So while the fighting's going on over here, this massive
• 17:17
  black orb begins to form over the dead city. Oh Jesus, all right,
• 17:22
  yeah, we're talking like that scene from Acura at the end when Akira
• 17:30
  destroys the whole city and it's just this big old black orb that begins to
• 17:36
  form. Mogedi In sees the black orb and she like, she does what
• 17:40
  she usually does, and she just sits facts and she just sat back and
• 17:42
  hide because she didn't want to get, uh, she didn't want to uh
• 17:48
  get involved directly with the fighting. And she can see like, yeah,
• 17:52
  this is big ass black orb, like no features to it whatsoever. But
• 17:56
  inside it she could see flickers of some like something like dark hitch black flames,
• 18:02
  so like like something that's even darker than the black sphere is like flickering,
• 18:07
  and she thinks that that must be mashadar Uh fighting back against this darkness
• 18:12
  that suddenly appeared over its over its domain. And then just when I reached
• 18:19
  critical mass, the orb vanishes. And you know how like when a when
• 18:26
  a nuke it goes off, it creates a vacuum effect because like all this
• 18:30
  air got displaced outward and then once yep, so that's what happens, and
• 18:37
  all that's left of Shadahlogoth is a crater three miles in diameter. And uh,
• 18:45
  one of the a shaman that was with her team begins, Ah,
• 18:52
  what's his name? What is his name? Hold on, let me look
• 18:57
  at his name, because this is important. This guy's this shaman is he's
• 19:02
  like an older guy. He's kind of like Ninive. He's very skilled in
• 19:06
  healing and Ninive who figured out how to heal create healing weaves using all five
• 19:14
  threads. This guy does the same thing, but excited, and he begins
• 19:21
  administering first aid to the rest of the group. And as he's channeling,
• 19:25
  he keeps he keeps saying to himself, it's clean, it's clean. So
• 19:30
  they were successful. They finally cleansed the source. And I'm like, oh,
• 19:37
  that's when that book ended. But anyway, we're supposed to be talking
• 19:40
  about book seven. I just wanted to gush because that scene was so great.
• 19:42
  I was like, oh, oh, yes, I've been waiting nine
• 19:47
  books for this. Oh shit, we're on book ten. Uh huh,
• 19:53
  you have four more books to go. Yeah. So, and it's they're
• 20:03
  hinting at it, like Tom or Guiden is getting closer. They're hinting at
• 20:08
  it. Things are going to start escalating from here. That means I gotta
• 20:12
  start getting notes ready for the books I've read so far. You still got
• 20:18
  like you still got I got I got time. I got time. But
• 20:22
  I need to because I have like three or four books I want to talk
• 20:25
  about before spoiler learned for all you listening where I talk about this book,
• 20:33
  it's backwards on well video, but you know whatever. Yeah, but no,
• 20:40
  let's let's go ahead and get started. All right, Hi, Hello,
• 20:45

  this point. Today, we are doing book seven of the Wheel of Time,
• 26:47
  the Crown of Thorns, and I'm already on book ten. Like right
• 26:52
  at the time of this reporting, I am still reading book ten. I
• 26:56
  just started book ten, and I'm taking my time with it because you know,
• 27:00
  you know, you got like I was like really grinding, Yeah,
• 27:04
  you really got to say at the moment, because I was really grinding to
• 27:07
  get to book nine because there was something that was gonna happen in book nine,
• 27:11
  and it happened. And now I'm just like my life is fulfilled,
• 27:19
  all is right, and anyway, point of the point is that I've been
• 27:29
  reading like these books non stop and now like I want book ten, and
• 27:36
  I realized, I like, after book ten, I only have four more
• 27:38
  books left to read. That's true, And I just know that post that
• 27:45
  I'm going to get hit with that that that little, that little depression that
• 27:51
  most book readers get after they finish a really like a really awesome book series
• 27:56
  that's consumed their life for days, weeks, months, years, and it's
• 28:03
  like suddenly you're like, I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life.
• 28:07
  It's over, it's done. And in Robert Jordan's case, this there's
• 28:11
  nothing ever gonna happen with this series ever again, because yeah he did.
• 28:18
  May he rest in peace. But thank god for Brandon Sanderson who came in
• 28:23
  and finished the book series for him. Thank God that rant that thank God
• 28:30
  that Robert Jordan had taken so much, had written so much notes that Brandon
• 28:36
  Sanderson was able to seamlessly finish the series out any without any issues. Thank
• 28:44
  god. Yeah, so book seven today, book seven, we were halfway
• 28:52
  through the series now, so a lot happens in this in this book,
• 28:59
  and I will I will say there are several things that are gonna happen in
• 29:06
  this book. Several new characters are going to be introduced, so it'll be
• 29:08
  important later on the series. Rand is dealing with the aftermath of his little
• 29:15
  kidnapping by the isid I from the White Tower. He's now even more mistrustful
• 29:22
  of the isid I. He currently has about like almost forty isidy pretty held
• 29:33
  prisoner. Uh. These are the Isidye that were involved in this kidnapping,
• 29:37
  and he has an extra like a dozen who have that he forced to swear
• 29:42
  fieldy to him. Because those that extra group of isid I are from the
• 29:48
  rebels from Salidar of course, so they he forced them to swear fealty to
• 29:55
  him because he ain't going to tolerate their bullshit anymore period. He has to
• 30:00
  work to undo some of the damage that the ice thatid I have caused in
• 30:04
  Kyrine because they were manipulating several noble houses behind his back, and they made
• 30:14
  promises that like, once we get Brand out of here, y'all can come
• 30:18
  in and take the reins right, and so Rand has to come in and
• 30:22
  say I'm still here, motherfuckers, you're doing shit, and he has to
• 30:27
  bring that. He has to pass judgment on several of them, one bitching
• 30:33
  in particular, because the iaid I promised this one lady, noble lady.
• 30:41
  Her name is Coolivier, and Colivier was promised by the Acid that she can
• 30:47
  take the sun throne of Kyrine and be the new queen. But and so
• 30:52
  like pretty much right when rand Got was kidnapped, she immediately came in and
• 30:56
  it was all like, all right, I'm the queen now, and she
• 30:59
  started organized, seeing her coronation everything, and then ran walks in and it's
• 31:03
  just like you thought the crown from her, Yeah, like you thought,
• 31:11
  and took the crown from her and ordered her to be executed, or rather
• 31:18
  he the law, by his own law, he had to. She was
• 31:23
  supposed to be executed for her crimes. But the thing is RN has a
• 31:26
  thing against killing women, which I'm like, bro, I'm like so disappointed
• 31:33
  in him because he doesn't want to put women in danger and he doesn't want
• 31:37
  to like past judgment on them like that, like he doesn't want to be
• 31:41
  responsible for their deaths. And I'm like, Okay, first of all,
• 31:45
  first of all, this bitch conspired against you and was complacent in your kidnapping
• 31:53
  and by your own laws, that is ground for execution. So she was
• 31:59
  to be hanged, but Rand ended up taking like. He ended up taking
• 32:05
  pity on her and instead stripped her of her title and her lance and was
• 32:10
  going to condemn her to a life of servitude rather than allow her to keep
• 32:15
  me keep her nobility and trigger warning, she ends up taking her own life
• 32:21
  because she'd rather be dead than lose all of her titles and everything. Yeah,
• 32:27
  so that happens. And one of the new characters being introduced in this
• 32:35
  book is another iid Eye who's not affiliated really with the two factions and with
• 32:39
  the Order as a whole. She kind of just does this woman does her
• 32:44
  own thing, and her name is Kat Swayin Malidrin. Kat Swayin is a
• 32:52
  badass bitch like she's Yeah, I will say, she's no different than any
• 32:58
  other iceid eye, Like she's not afraid to manipulate people to get her way
• 33:04
  and uh like, but she's very transparent like she's she's very transparent about her
• 33:10
  intentions. She wants to make sure that Wren makes it to Tomar Guiden alive
• 33:17
  because he's gonna die in the very end, as the prophecies have foretold,
• 33:22
  but she wants to make sure he makes it to Tomarra Guiden so that way
• 33:25
  when he dies, he dies at the right moment. But in her mind,
• 33:30
  Katsoni Elidrin believes she's the only person that can handle Ran and who's the
• 33:37
  only one responsible enough to make to advise him because everyone else, all the
• 33:40
  other eyesid Eye, as she figures out when she shows up, they are
• 33:45
  not responsible. They're actually very They're actually they've bungled everything and could have caused
• 33:50
  irreparable damage, right, especially when she finds out that they that the White
• 33:54
  Tower had tried to kidnap him and take him to the tower. She was
• 33:58
  especially pissed off because well she's over here, like are you fucking stupido?
• 34:04
  Like are you? Are you? Because the thing about Katswayne Malidrin is that
• 34:07
  she is the oldest living isid I in the White Tower, and before Iguainne,
• 34:13
  Elaine and Ninive showed up, she was the strongest channeler in the White
• 34:16
  Tower as well, and she's also the I just said she's the oldest to
• 34:22
  night. Yeah, yeah, I just said that. So her being the
• 34:27
  oldest in the White Tower. Is significant is because the average lifespan of a
• 34:30
  channeler is anywhere between six to one thousand years six hundred years to one thousand
• 34:37
  years, depending on how powerful you are in the in the one power,
• 34:42
  it actually determines how long you'll live. Even the weakest channeler can live to
• 34:46
  an upwards of six hundred years. But isid I for some reason don't live
• 34:51
  past the age of three hundred and Wow. I won't spoil too much for
• 34:58
  you guys, because the the reason for this is explained in later books.
• 35:01
  I will say that the reason why they don't live past three hundred is actually
• 35:05
  because of the three oaks. Well, just I'll leave it there and I'll
• 35:10
  leave it at that. Besides her, beside, Rand and his team and
• 35:19
  his group Ninive and Elaine are in Abu Dhar. They arrived and joined the
• 35:24
  group of Salidar rebels in the city and they're now searching for a storage like
• 35:34
  a cachet of tarangreoal. The reason why they're looking for these toroangreol is because
• 35:38
  they discovered that there's one turangreal in that cachet called a weather bowl or the
• 35:45
  bowl of winds, and this Tarangreal has the power to control and regulate the
• 35:50
  weather. And the reason why they need this bowl is because the Dark One
• 35:53
  has used his power to lock the seasons in place. Now, even though
• 36:00
  it is already well within the winter months, it is still hot as balls,
• 36:06
  like middle summer hot as balls, all right, which is unnatural,
• 36:12
  and because of this, it's disrupting the weather's This hot weather is now disrupting
• 36:17
  crop growths and trade and everything because if they're not able to if they're not
• 36:25
  able to grow their crops and properly store them for the winter, there won't
• 36:31
  be any more crops to grow because it's also been locked. The season has
• 36:35
  been locked in a never ending drought as well, so there hasn't been rained
• 36:38
  for months. It's dry, it's hot. They need to do something,
• 36:44
  and they need to do something soon or else they're gonna people are gonna start
• 36:47
  starving and it's gonna cause even more problems. So their group deals with their
• 36:53
  own problems, and we're also going to see the return of the Seawan Shahan.
• 37:06
  Is that those guys again, Yeah, those guys against So we're gonna
• 37:12
  also see these our girls deal with some of their own challenges because at the
• 37:16
  height of book six, when when Egwayne was raised to the striped stole of
• 37:24
  the ambulance seat, she made a proclamation to raise four girls from the accepted
• 37:30
  rank to the full to the Shawl. So she made four girls into full
• 37:36
  Isidi, and Elaine and and Ninive were raised to the to the Shawl.
• 37:42
  So Ninive is now a member of the Yellow Asia and Elaine is of the
• 37:47
  Green Agia. The thing is, though, because of how unorthodox their promotion
• 37:53
  was, they had to deal with a lot of senior Isidi who still view
• 38:00
  them as like nothing more than accepted, like they're still students or novices in
• 38:05
  training. So they have to deal with that, and they also have to
• 38:07
  deal with a new group of channelers that actually been hiding themselves in Abu Dhar.
• 38:15
  They call themselves the Kin and the Kin are basically our group of basically
• 38:22
  Isidi washouts and runaways. So some girls in middle of their training, they
• 38:28
  will either try to run away or maybe when they're moving from accept from novice
• 38:32
  to accept it, they don't complete the ceremony of going through the archway toanngrial.
• 38:39
  They decide to just say nah, I'm good and then they just dip
• 38:45
  and they're put out of the White Tower permanently. The thing is the kin
• 38:49
  is used by the isid I to track down any runaways. So if a
• 38:53
  novice tries to run away the KNT, the isid I make use of the
• 38:59
  kid to track him down, though the kid don't know that the isid I
• 39:02
  know of their existence. But it's just something that ends up getting that ends
• 39:08
  up getting outed throughout this book. So let's go ahead and get started.
• 39:14
  So it's really like the perspective of this book is going to be from just
• 39:17
  really going back and forth between the group in Abu Dhar and RAN's group and
• 39:23
  sometimes there Yeah, there's like other side stories concerning like the Shadow ay eel
• 39:30
  Uh and the White Tower. I'm not really gonna talk about them much because
• 39:35
  it's really like they don't have any direct influence over the story. It's just
• 39:38
  more of like they're plotting. Like In fact, at the beginning of the
• 39:44
  book, Elida still thinks that Ran as well on his way to the White
• 39:47
  Tower with her with her group of Isidie. She has yet to find out
• 39:52
  that her group that group had failed and Ran escaped. So when she does
• 39:57
  find out she's actually she actually really pissed off because Alida is slowly becoming more
• 40:01
  and more unhinged. All Right, she seems to think that her position as
• 40:07
  the Ambulance Seat seems to mean that she's not she's royalty, when I mean,
• 40:13
  yeah, the Ambulance Seat is an authority that is even higher than the
• 40:16
  authorities of the different kingdoms, like and Or tier Kyne and Abu Dhar.
• 40:24
  So like the Ambulance Seat when they when she says, when she says,
• 40:30
  jumps the kings and queens from these lands, they jump. But the thing
• 40:34
  is is that the Ambulance Seat and the White Tower, they're not They're not
• 40:37
  supposed to be royalty. They're not supposed to be caught up in those kinds
• 40:42
  of those kinds of politics. They're supposed to be above it. Yeah.
• 40:47
  But she she's really she's going down a dark path and she's herself is not
• 40:53
  of the Black Asia, but her new keeper of the Chronicles, uh,
• 41:00
  a woman from the White from the White Aza named al Viren, is actually
• 41:07
  the supreme leader of the Black Asa. Mm hmm so. And we'll see
• 41:13
  throughout the story that alvi Aren is manipulating Alida, and she even has dealings
• 41:19
  with Massana, who's current uh the one of the Forsaken. Massana who's currently
• 41:23
  hiding as a member of the White Tower. So she's in the White Tower.
• 41:28
  She's disguised herself as one of the sisters. Yeah, even now book
• 41:32
  ten, I don't even know who she is. All I know is like
• 41:36
  I don't know who she's disguised herself as. All I know is Massana is
• 41:39
  in the Tower. And she even teaches alvi Aren how to travel because she
• 41:46
  needs Alviren to uh to for she needs Alviren to further more further more of
• 41:54
  her plans. We also see several other of the Forsaken in this novel.
• 42:00
  Ran actually does confront the forsaken Samael. He's one of the last two male
• 42:06
  Forsakens that yet to be killed by I Ran. We also see Mogeddion again
• 42:14
  Ogeddy and she has not She has just been having a really really bad time.
• 42:19
  This is it is, Oh, poor girl. I feel sorry for
• 42:22
  her. She wasn't such a bitch, damn because because she was freed in
• 42:30
  the last book from Agwayne's control uh the another one of the Forsaken, a
• 42:38
  woman named araan Gar, freed her and mysteriously arang Gar can channel Sidon didn't
• 42:47
  explain why, but in this one it actually does reveal. Later on,
• 42:52
  it does reveal who aroan Gar and another and another new chosen name Austin Gar
• 42:59
  reveals who they are actually are. We also see the introduction of a woman
• 43:02
  named Sindane who was another who is another another nude chosen. And we also
• 43:08
  see the introduction of a mysterious figure by the name who calls himself Morden,
• 43:14
  and Moradin in the old tongue means death. So when Molgedion was free,
• 43:20
  she was immediately summoned to Shadar, to child gull and from and when she
• 43:29
  gets there, the dark One punishes her and she's tortured by this strange mutated
• 43:37
  mirar drawl. He's bigger and he's more intelligent than your average mirror than your
• 43:40
  average miar drawl. And this dude brutally to tortures her and puts her under
• 43:49
  a special kind of compulsion where her I think it has I think it's like
• 43:53
  her spirit or her her mind is placed in a little file. And this
• 44:01
  file is being this little file is being held by Mordan, and while he
• 44:08
  has it, he has full control over her. So Morden tells her that
• 44:15
  he has a new job for her and she's going to and he needs her
• 44:20
  to go to Abu Dhar to search for a cachet of tourangreoal so they know
• 44:24
  so dark friends know about the tarangrioal you know Abu Dhar. So now she
• 44:30
  has to contend with Ninive and Elaine, who are currently searching for it as
• 44:35
  well. And while there, Mogedian does try to while she's more focused on
• 44:43
  finding the tarangreal, she realizes Ninive is in the city and she has a
• 44:45
  very She has a real hate boner for Ninive, especially because Ninive has humiliated
• 44:52
  her twice damn, which is more than anyone else has ever done. She
• 45:00
  has a particular hate boner for Ninive and even tries to kill her at one
• 45:02
  point, but she fails. And also, seeing as this is the halfway
• 45:10
  mark for the series, Ninive finally breaks her breaks through her mental block keeping
• 45:17
  her from channeling at will and from this point forward she will actually be able
• 45:23
  to channel at Willow took seven books and her almost dying before she actually breaks
• 45:32
  that fucking block. Oh what can you do? Uh? We also see
• 45:38
  Lan again. So after book five, Land ended up disappearing after Maureene's death,
• 45:45
  and he's appeared in the rebel camp and Agwayinne actually sends him to Abu
• 45:51
  Dhar to protects Ninive and Elaine. And yes, Lan is in love with
• 45:57
  Ninive because there there's been some there spend like a little romantic tension between the
• 46:01
  two of them, but since Moraine was his since Lan was Moraine's warder,
• 46:08
  that was always something that was that was something that uh like that put a
• 46:14
  wedge between the two of them, as well as the fact that Lanne didn't
• 46:16
  really want to make any promises to my Neive because he he's always known that
• 46:22
  his life is going to be a life of death and he didn't want to
• 46:27
  leave her. He didn't want to marry her and then like die pretty much
• 46:30
  the next day, leave her a widow at a young age. But so
• 46:35
  Lane will reappear and he will join them in Abu Dar because Igwayne will.
• 46:39
  After Gwaine finds out that he's in the camp, she sends him to Abudar
• 46:44
  to help the girls. So from here, I want to start off with
• 46:52
  We're gonna talk. We're gonna speak with from Ram's perspective, at least for
• 46:55
  the first like up to a certain point, then we'll go to the girls,
• 46:59
  and then back and forth. Yeah. So, immediately after being rescued
• 47:06
  by his by his a shaman and the rest of his allied forces, Rand
• 47:13
  travels back to Kyrine. He now has a little over. He has a
• 47:16
  little under thirty forty isida as his prisoners. Three of them he had stilled
• 47:22
  when he was when he had escaped. He when he gets back to Kyrine,
• 47:28
  he immediately hands him over to the Iel wise ones who and the wise
• 47:31
  ones immediately put them to work and keep them and keep them at and keep
• 47:37
  them under lock and key. The thirteen isid I that that came from the
• 47:45
  rebels and Saladar. He had forced them to bend the knee and swear oh
• 47:51
  with a fealty to him. So while they still have more or less they
• 47:54
  retain more or less their autonomy from the wise ones. Ran still gives them
• 47:59
  the side like yeah, I don't trust you, bitch is uh. Now
• 48:04
  Ren has a full guard of shaman, which, if you remember from the
• 48:09
  last book, he had created his own order of male channelers called the Ashaman,
• 48:15
  and he left their training in Uh. He left the charge of training
• 48:17
  them in the hands of Masrum Tayim, who was a false dragon that he
• 48:24
  was mentioned early on in like book three. He was like he was the
• 48:30
  false He was the false dragon that appeared after Logan. But then after Rand
• 48:36
  offered amnesty for all male channelers, including former false dragons, h marm Tam
• 48:45
  came to Kitlin and submitted to Rand, and Ran immediately put him in charge
• 48:50
  of training his new group of a shaman. And now the shaman have officially
• 48:55
  proved themselves, proved their worth in battle, and Rand realizes that Taim did
• 49:02
  too good of a job of training them, because these guys are murder machines
• 49:07
  things they The Battle of Dumais Well is remembered infamously has gone down, and
• 49:15
  it has gone down in infamy because of because of the ashaman. So he
• 49:21
  has a group of them protecting him, and as soon as he returns to
• 49:24
  Kyrine, he really he immediately realizes that several of the noble houses had moved
• 49:30
  against him, almost as if they were they had expected him to be gone
• 49:34
  permanently, and the way they were acting was like like, oh, well,
• 49:38
  Ram's not coming back. He's gone. Uh. So he goes into
• 49:43
  the u into the royal Palace and he finds most of the noble houses gathered
• 49:49
  and before a woman named Kolovie and Coolivier had been made. So what happened
• 49:55
  was Kolovie had been approached by the isaid that kidnapped Ran and told her of
• 50:02
  basically made her aware that they're planning on taking Ran out of the city and
• 50:07
  taking him to the White Tower. And they had they had come to an
• 50:13
  agreement with her that she would take the sun throne and be the new Queen
• 50:16
  of Kyrine. So they made her promises, she made her plans, and
• 50:21
  as soon as Rand was out, she she made her move and she claimed
• 50:23
  and she made her claim for the sun throne, but didn't last. She
• 50:28
  didn't get a chance to She didn't get a chance to cement her claims to
• 50:32
  the throne because Ran came back. He immediately took the crown from her head,
• 50:37
  and after questioning her, he got he got her to spill the beans
• 50:42
  that the Ice that I had promised her that she would take, that she
• 50:45
  would get the sun throne while they took him out of the city. And
• 50:51
  because she revealed her basically her role in Rand's kidnapping. He condemns her.
• 50:59
  Now there are several there are several noble houses that do side with Rand in
• 51:02
  Kyrine. One man, a guy named Dubrayin he's actually a noble from Tyr
• 51:12
  tells Rand that by your laws, by your loss, she must be executed
• 51:15
  for treason. But the thing is, I'm really disappointed about I'm really disappointed
• 51:21
  in Rand for this because Rand has a very strong aversion to putting women in
• 51:27
  danger and even condemning them to death. So he didn't. He really hated
• 51:31
  the idea of executing this woman. So he decides to take mercy on her,
• 51:37
  and instead of condemning her to death, he condemns her to exile and
• 51:44
  strips her of all of her all of her titles. So she's no longer
• 51:50
  she no longer holds her seat in her noble house, she's no longer a
• 51:52
  noble She all her lands, her property are going to be seized from her,
• 51:58
  and she's going to be exiled to some out of the way manner as
• 52:01
  to work to work out the rest of her life as a farm hand.
• 52:06
  And Coloire didn't like that. I mean, she was she was She even
• 52:10
  begs him like I'd rather be beheaded, like please just kill me. I
• 52:15
  don't, I don't want to. I won't like be I won't be like
• 52:19
  condemned to live in my life as a as a filipy peasant. But he
• 52:22
  makes his decision final and she's escorted out, and she and Wren kind of
• 52:29
  like makes a threat to the rest of the nobles, like I'm gonna I'm
• 52:32
  gonna keep my I'm gonna turn my back and forget any of the faces in
• 52:37
  this room. But when I turn around and I see anyone left, there
• 52:44
  will there will be retribution. And basically that causes a stampede of all these
• 52:49
  nobles rushing out of this throne room like all right, I don't want to
• 52:51
  be here. He's basically saying he'll forgive any wrongdoings, like any plots against
• 52:57
  him, so long as these guys get the fuck out of his sight.
• 53:01
  So Wren has to spend the next few days cleaning up the mess that the
• 53:07
  eyes that I had made for him, and it's during this time that his
• 53:09
  relationship with men begins to grow more. Those two come very close, and
• 53:16
  Wren is also starting to Wren is dealing with his feelings of concerning men Elaine
• 53:25
  and Avienda, because there are three women in his life that he now has
• 53:30
  very strong feelings for. He loves all three of them, but he feels
• 53:34
  guilty because he's gone from one girl to the next, and that's not how
• 53:38
  he was raised. But you know, shit happens, It's true. And
• 53:45
  while he's well, Ran is picking up the pieces his he begins to direct
• 53:55
  his horses from Tyr and Kyrine to begin forming up the line against the UH
• 54:01
  against the borders of Ilian. Now he's been doing this since book UH.
• 54:07
  He started doing this in the last book, but now he's really concentrating more
• 54:09
  of his forces on Ilian because he knows without a doubt that the forsaken Samuel
• 54:16
  is currently in Ilien and is currently controlling the pylords of Ilian. So he
• 54:24
  is beginning to cement his plans to Uh to lead an assault against Ilian to
• 54:30
  take down some Iel and now that he has as a shaman, the shaman
• 54:35
  will be able to play a crucial role in fight in the fight against Samiel.
• 54:42
  But while he's making his plans, uh Rand is approached by another Isidie
• 54:52
  small group of Isodi being led by one cat Swain Melidrin. So, of
• 54:57
  course, like I said earlier, Katswain is the oldest living Isidai in the
• 55:00
  White Tower, and she before and before Elaine, Iwaine and Ninive showed up.
• 55:08
  She was also the strongest channeler in the White Tower. Uh. She
• 55:14
  has a very long she has a very long history of helping to capture in
• 55:17
  gentle male channelers, and among the other Isidye she's considered a legend. It
• 55:23
  was really funny because when the other isid I and Kyrine who are working with
• 55:28
  rand Uh, when they see kat swayin, they're all shocked and they're like,
• 55:31
  I thought you were dead. And at one point they like so many
• 55:37
  of them, had said that to her. Cats Wwayne says, all right,
• 55:38
  the next one that says that they thought I was dead, I'm going
• 55:42
  to spank them. Oh my. When an Isaida says they're gonna spank you,
• 55:47
  they don't mean it in a fun way. Who they mean it,
• 55:52
  and they mean it in the most humiliating and detrimental way possible. She's going
• 55:58
  to She's going to break you, mint, she is going to break you
• 56:00
  mentally. You insaults her like that again. So the thing is is that
• 56:07
  so Katswayne had approached Ran with the intention of joining him, and she wants
• 56:13
  to insert herself as his advisor. But Rand's being very on edge from the
• 56:20
  incident with the White Towers I said, I. He doesn't trust her and
• 56:24
  pretty much banishes her from his throne room. But Min later tells him that's
• 56:30
  when she saw kat Swain. She immediately realized she saw an image appear around
• 56:37
  kat Swain, and she knew that kat Swain would actually prove to be trustworthy
• 56:43
  and will help and actually help Rand. And she tells Rand that kat Swayne
• 56:50
  is going to teach you something important, but I don't know what it is.
• 56:53
  So Rand begins to come around to the idea of kat Swain, but
• 56:59
  he's still not entirely sure what like if he can trust her and and also
• 57:05
  he's not even sure like what exactly is she going to teach him? Mm
• 57:08
  hmm to laugh and cry yeah, like Kats Katswayne herself says that several times
• 57:21
  in this book. In the next few books, she like she doesn't say
• 57:24
  this to Ran, but she says this while while she's talking with other her
• 57:30
  allies, especially about her plans for help with Rand, because in kats Wayne's
• 57:37
  mind, she thinks she's the only one who can handle Rand, who can
• 57:42
  trust it to handle Ran, and is the only one who has the necessary
• 57:45
  qualifications to help him reach time or guide in alive. And she even mentions
• 57:52
  that she's going to teach him how to laugh and cry again, because this
• 57:55
  is an allegory to the fact that pretty much since Ran up the role of
• 58:00
  like fully took up the role of being the dragon reborn, he believes that
• 58:05
  he has to be harder, like he himself needs to be harder and firmer
• 58:09
  as a person. And well, you know what happens when you basically shut
• 58:15
  yourself out from like all those basic emotions and try and make yourself into like
• 58:21
  a stic, more stoic person. It doesn't work out all right, and
• 58:27
  often causes you to be reckless. That's correct. So he she has yet
• 58:34
  to show him to teach him this, even now in book ten, But
• 58:37
  for now he doesn't have much to do with kat Swain. She actually after
• 58:43
  she leaves him, she she gathers the eyesid I that have swore sworn their
• 58:47
  oaths to him and the ones that are not under the complete, under complete
• 58:52
  lock and key by the wise ones, and she interrogates them all and asks
• 58:55
  them like, Okay, what the fuck have you guys been doing? Who
• 59:00
  I show up here? And he's like completely mistrustful, has no respect for
• 59:05
  Isidie and base all but all but banishes me from the city. What exactly
• 59:10
  have you been doing? And they tell her, Well, they tell the
• 59:15
  whole story, and by the end of it, Cat's Wings like, I
• 59:16
  swear to God and they let you and they let you idiots be Isidi.
• 59:23
  I gotta say, I love like she's I love Catswinging. She's my favorite.
• 59:28
  He's your favorite, all right, She's my favorite. Yeah, She's
• 59:30
  definitely my favorite. Like she has no fucks given and she's not afraid to
• 59:37
  She's not afraid to take the bull by the horns. So, as rand
• 59:43
  is cleaning up the mess, he decides that he wants to also try to
• 59:46
  quell a rebellion that has also formed against him and Kyrine. So this rebellion
• 59:52
  had been around for a while, pretty much since he took Kyne. It's
• 59:58
  being led by one of the high seats of House of Demodred and another house
• 1:00:06
  and another rebel leader from Tyr. So he decides to approach these rebels in
• 1:00:12
  secret, and he speaks with them. He meets a woman, he meets
• 1:00:15
  the high seat of the House, Demodred, who's actually either the distant cousin
• 1:00:21
  or the niece of Moraine. Her name is Caroline Demodrad, and Reren is
• 1:00:27
  shocked. Ren is shocked to see how remarkably similar she is to Morain.
• 1:00:31
  I mean they're related, so there's no no surprise there. Yeah, she
• 1:00:37
  actually immediately really recognizes Rn, but her allies don't recognize him right away.
• 1:00:43
  And Caroline she while she herself believes that Ren has no right to the sun
• 1:00:47
  throne and no rights beholding Kyrine, she realizes that she's smart enough to realize
• 1:00:52
  that there's no point in pissing him off or exposing him to the rest of
• 1:00:54
  the rebels, because one of the rebel leaders is a guy who has a
• 1:00:59
  real hate owner for Rand, and she knows they could get ugly if this
• 1:01:02
  guy figures out that he like, figures out who he really is. So
• 1:01:12
  Rand, hold on, let me see what was his name? You know,
• 1:01:19
  it's not important. I'm not I'm not about to spend ten minutes looking
• 1:01:22
  for his stand name. So anyway, during the while he's among the rebels
• 1:01:29
  that he had gone to their camp, to their camp in the hills outside
• 1:01:32
  of Kyrine. He's talking among them, trying to get to know him better
• 1:01:37
  and try to see maybe he could find some way, like some form of
• 1:01:40
  common ground with them so that way he could just bring them under control through
• 1:01:46
  a peaceful negotiation rather than having to kill them all. While he's there,
• 1:01:52
  he realizes that the dark friend Padden Fane is there and he's taken, and
• 1:01:57
  Paden Fane has taken himself to being the advisor to Okay, you know what,
• 1:02:01
  fuck it that dude's name is important? Is important? God damn it,
• 1:02:13
  because that's the thing. Though he's not really he's not that important because
• 1:02:16
  he only shows up like twice. Yeah, like first time when he's introduced,
• 1:02:22
  the second time when he's dead two looks later. Spoiler alert, Uh
• 1:02:31
  oh, okay, so his name is so this guy's name is Ryasin.
• 1:02:37
  So for some reason, Tam has a real hate boner for Rant. And
• 1:02:45
  when Wren meets the guy, the guy notices that Wren has his sword with
• 1:02:51
  him and notices that it has a heron marked late the heron marks on it,
• 1:02:54
  and he actually challenges Ran to a friendly to a friendly duel because the
• 1:03:00
  guy is also a blade master, and the two of them begin like have
• 1:03:04
  their friendly duel, but it's interrupted when Padden Fane himself begins using his new
• 1:03:08
  dark powers because padd and Faine now has possession of the knife from Shadow Shadarla
• 1:03:17
  Goth. You guys remember this knife was taken from Shadarla Goth by Matt Coffin
• 1:03:23
  and it was later stolen by padd and Faine. So padd and Faine has
• 1:03:30
  now been corrupted by the evil of Shadarla Goth uh so, and because of
• 1:03:35
  this, he's also beginning to display his own strange abilities, so like he's
• 1:03:42
  able to cause random incidents like bubbles of evil. In this case, he
• 1:03:47
  summons a smaller version of Mashadar, the mistlike entity from Shardarla Goth, and
• 1:03:53
  while Randon uh Forum are having their little duel, the entire rebel camp becomes
• 1:04:02
  enveloped in this mist and the myst begins taking on the shape of these entities
• 1:04:09
  and they start killing everybody while they were in the camp. I should also
• 1:04:14
  mention Rand notices that there's two groups of Isidai there one group is being led
• 1:04:19
  by kat Swain and the other is other Iidai from the White Tower, Red
• 1:04:26
  Sisters from the White Tower from their White Tower. Doesn't really say what happened
• 1:04:30
  to those sisters, either they got out of the fighting or whether they got
• 1:04:33
  out of the fighting or not, or if they got killed by Mashadar.
• 1:04:38
  But in the confusion, ah Kat Swayin comes to Rand with her with the
• 1:04:43
  with the group of isa she's with, and they help Brand and men get
• 1:04:47
  out of there. They also take Caroline Damadrid with them. Is that her
• 1:04:56
  name? Is it Caroline or Carleen or something? Caroline Damadrid. Yeah,
• 1:05:05
  that's right. There we go, Yeah, that's right, So Caroline Damadrid.
• 1:05:13
  With Katswayne's health, they escort Rand Min, Caroline Damadrid and a few
• 1:05:17
  other nobles out of the mist. The myst attacks him a couple of times,
• 1:05:23
  and Rand at one point uses baillfire to kill one of the mist entities.
• 1:05:29
  But when he does this, kats Wwayne marches right up to him and
• 1:05:31
  bitch slaps him and she she tells him very sternly, don't ever use bellfire
• 1:05:39
  again. And the reason for that is because in the White Tower Bellfire is
• 1:05:43
  one of the few weaves that is considered forbidden because bailfire is very dangerous and
• 1:05:48
  as a result of its overuse in the War of Power, bailfire nearly broke
• 1:05:55
  the pattern, which is bad. No way, that's no Lena, Lena.
• 1:06:03
  But he just Rand actually takes this in stride because Peta. Up to
• 1:06:09
  this point he had several conversations with kat Swain and Kad Swayne had basically read
• 1:06:15
  him to Philip at one point and asked and asked him, are you hearing
• 1:06:19
  voices yet? And this kind of struck a chord with Rand because because at
• 1:06:25
  this point, Ran has been hearing the voice of Luce Tharren, his previous
• 1:06:29
  life, and he's been having flashes of that man's memories. But up until
• 1:06:34
  this point he thought this was a result of the madness overtaking him. But
• 1:06:42
  he comes to realize that this is that he's actually hearing the voice of his
• 1:06:46
  previous life. Lose there and tell him on granted, Louise Darren is that
• 1:06:51
  shit crazy, but he knows now that he's actually remembering his past life all
• 1:07:00
  right, and it's not just a result of the madness. But still they
• 1:07:04
  managed to escape from the mist. But just before they get out of the
• 1:07:08
  get out of it, padd and Fane attacks Rand and actually manages to wound
• 1:07:16
  him using the dagger from Chenarl Lagaf. Think about it. The thing is
• 1:07:20
  is that injuries inflicted with the blade are fatal because the darkness kills you.
• 1:07:29
  It causes like some kind of like it's darkness causes you to basically melt.
• 1:07:36
  So when Rand got injured, the where padd and Fane slashed him was actually
• 1:07:43
  he managed to he slashed him over his other his other wounds, because Ran
• 1:07:48
  has a wound in his in his side that he got from a shamel when
• 1:07:55
  he fought him in Fallen. Yeah, and it's a it's a wound that
• 1:07:58
  never heals because it was inflicted using the dark One's power, So it won't
• 1:08:04
  it won't ever fully heal. The eyes that I have like used their healing
• 1:08:09
  abilities on it and they've got it to where it won't bleed, but it
• 1:08:12
  won't fully heal. And oftentimes when he's like exerting himself, it'll break open
• 1:08:16
  and start bleeding again. But now there's another little slat, there's another gash
• 1:08:21
  over it created by the the Shadada. Look goth Dagger and Rad nearly dies,
• 1:08:29
  kats Wayne and the other eyes that I managed to take him back to
• 1:08:32
  Kyrine in time, and it's there that they h that Ktswayne gets one of
• 1:08:39
  her, one of the sisters from her group, to heal him. This
• 1:08:43
  Yellow sister, she's very talented in healing, but she states that she can't
• 1:08:46
  heal this woman this new wound fully because it's of a it's of the similar
• 1:08:54
  it's of a different evil entirely from the wound that he already has, but
• 1:08:58
  it's the same, but it's comes from the same place, so she couldn't
• 1:09:01
  fully heal it. And now everyone's standing around Rand's like he like expects,
• 1:09:05
  like he's about to die. Uh, that is until his a shaman arrived,
• 1:09:12
  because when they find out that that Rand was injured, his a shaman
• 1:09:15
  come up to uh come up to save the day again. Real quick.
• 1:09:23
  I need to look up the name of this one a shaman because he's actually
• 1:09:26
  very important. But I know it is a name, but I forgot it.
• 1:09:30
  Dahmer Flynn is a is a is actually an older a shaman. He's
• 1:09:38
  actually when he joined the shaman, he was actually well into his middle years,
• 1:09:43
  Uh and Dahmer Flynn. What's so special about him is that he's actually
• 1:09:46
  very talented with healing. In fact, he's unsurpassed by any other by any
• 1:09:54
  other male channeler, and the only other people that have been able to match
• 1:09:57
  his healing abilities were uh It's nineveh because just like Ninive, he knows how
• 1:10:02
  to use all five threads heal. Because usually most eyes that I only know
• 1:10:09
  how to use weaving of water, air, and spirit, which creates a
• 1:10:15
  healing weave that's basically like in d D terms, it's like greater restoration.
• 1:10:18
  It's just a cure all. It'll heal everything. But with his kind of
• 1:10:23
  healing, he knows how to focus on heal, focus the power to just
• 1:10:29
  heal specific parts of the body instead of healing the entire thing as a whole,
• 1:10:32
  which takes up a lot of power, which takes up a lot of
• 1:10:34
  power from both the healer and the person being healed. So when his when
• 1:10:42
  the shaman show up, when the istaman find out that Ren was injured and
• 1:10:45
  has been brought back to the to the palace, Uh Dahmer Flynn shows up
• 1:10:48
  and he immediately goes to Rand's side and inspects the wound, and while he's
• 1:10:54
  inspecting it, he makes the same uh. He comes to the same conclusion
• 1:10:58
  as some let's see, sorry, I really got a yep, it was
• 1:11:08
  her so uh. Kats Wayne's own healer, Submitsu had tried to had managed
• 1:11:19
  to stabilize Ran, but she wasn't able to do anything further. And she's
• 1:11:23
  a very talented healer, but she only knows the standard healing of the eyes
• 1:11:28
  that I know. Uh. Then Dahmer Flynn shows up and he inspects it
• 1:11:31
  and sees the same thing as she does, but he begins using his own
• 1:11:35
  healing and the way he starts weaving his wee uh, the way he starts
• 1:11:43
  his weaving, he actually starts moving his hands and fingers together like he's actually
• 1:11:47
  like weaving the threads of power with his bare hands. And when he finishes
• 1:11:53
  the healing, Submitsu inspects it and she shocked to see that both the wound
• 1:11:59
  from bat and Fine and the wound from that he got from Balzaman had not
• 1:12:04
  only gotten smaller, but she realized that they were whatever evil that's infected that
• 1:12:11
  both wounds they've been sealed, and Domer Flynn says that I couldn't do much
• 1:12:16
  more. What I was able to do was contain the to contain the evil,
• 1:12:23
  keeping it from and keeping it from being much of a threat to Rent,
• 1:12:29
  so it won't bother Rant as much as it usually does. Yeah,
• 1:12:32
  and at that moment, Submitsu basically she she marches up to domer Flynn and
• 1:12:41
  she's like, I want you to try to show me how you did that.
• 1:12:43
  I don't care what I happened. I don't care. I don't care
• 1:12:46
  that you're a man and I'm a woman. I want you to tell me
• 1:12:48
  how exactly you did that, all right, and I'll give you anything,
• 1:12:51
  all right, money, power, a child, I'll do anything. This
• 1:12:57
  woman basically threw herself out. I was like, damn, okay, chill.
• 1:13:01
  I mean, skills are useful. Yeah, but in the case of
• 1:13:08
  channelers, men can't really teach women anything because by the very nature of Sidin
• 1:13:13
  and Cidar, that's very the way they heal is very different. So he
• 1:13:16
  could explain to her how he does it, but she would have to figure
• 1:13:18
  out how to replicate it on her own. Yeah. Yeah, anyway,
• 1:13:25
  so we're gonna take a We're gonna take a break from rand uh he's fine,
• 1:13:30
  he's fine, don't r about uh. And we're gonna go ahead and
• 1:13:33
  take a step over to Abudar to our girls. Girls are gullies. Yeah.
• 1:13:42
  So the thing is, the beginning of the search for the toront Grail
• 1:13:45
  isn't exactly going the way the girls want it. They arrived in solid they
• 1:13:48
  arrived in Ebudar, and they joined the Isidi that are currently in Ebudar trying
• 1:13:55
  to make a deal there. The the rebels Isidie from Saladar are trying to
• 1:14:00
  convince the Queen of Abudar to support their cause right establish good relations with them,
• 1:14:08
  so that way, if the rebels do in fact win this confrontation and
• 1:14:13
  seize control of the White Tower, things will be working favorable what would be
• 1:14:16
  favorable for the Queen of for the Queen of Abu Dar. But there's also
• 1:14:20
  a delegation from the White Tower there and they're trying to pretty much do the
• 1:14:24
  same thing, right, but rather they're trying to maintain they're already like the
• 1:14:29
  established relations between them and the White Tower. So the thing is, though
• 1:14:34
  when they arrive, they of course tell the other rebels of Igwainne's decision,
• 1:14:40
  like they need to find the tarangrail that are hidden somewhere in the city.
• 1:14:44
  And also that Nine and Elaine are full pledged sisters. Now they haven't yet
• 1:14:48
  taken the tests or have been given their actual shawls, but by Igwayne's command,
• 1:14:57
  they are full sisters. But the thing is is that these their fellow
• 1:15:02
  rebel sisters don't exactly agree with that, like don't exactly fully acknowledge that,
• 1:15:06
  and still try to treat both Elaying and It and Ninive as nothing more than
• 1:15:14
  novices or accept it. And they they order them about, they put curfews
• 1:15:19
  on them, keep them and basically make things life hard for them, Like
• 1:15:24
  those two were sent to Abudar to find the Torondrial, but the sisters are
• 1:15:28
  already there are like, no, we'll handle this. You stay in the
• 1:15:30
  tower and you stay out of our way. And the thing is that the
• 1:15:32
  girls don't take kindly to that, so they instead said, all right,
• 1:15:35
  fine, We're just gonna do things on our own. So they keep they
• 1:15:39
  routinely sneak out of the palace. Matt and a small group of his band
• 1:15:45
  of the Red Hand came with them to Abu Dhara to keep him safe.
• 1:15:48
  But the thing is is that the girls don't really want that want him to
• 1:15:51
  interfere with their work. So and also they don't want the they don't want
• 1:15:57
  the other eyes to eye to try to stop them. So using what they've
• 1:16:01
  learned from Ah from Ogedion, they began to create. Every time they would
• 1:16:10
  sneak out of the palace, they would just disguise themselves using the power and
• 1:16:14
  create like an illusion of another person over themselves, right, and then they'd
• 1:16:20
  invert the weaves, so no channel so none of the other channelers would sense
• 1:16:24
  what they're doing. Yeah, So they would sneak out and they would go
• 1:16:28
  to the uh they would go to this small to this other district of Abu
• 1:16:33
  Dhar. So, like there's two different districts in Abu Dhar. So let's
• 1:16:39
  see, there is the main city itself for the royal palace is and then
• 1:16:44
  there's the Rahad which is like uh. So, the way Abudar is set
• 1:16:47
  up, it's set up in like a kind of like a bay where this
• 1:16:56
  large river flows into the ocean, and so like the main part of the
• 1:17:00
  city is on one side of the bay and the Rahat is on the other
• 1:17:04
  side of it. And the only way you can get to the rahat Is
• 1:17:06
  through a ferry, and they know for a fact that the wronger all they're
• 1:17:13
  looking for is somewhere in the ra Hot. So the girls would go out
• 1:17:17
  daily under disguise and explore the city and explore the ra Hot but they're not
• 1:17:21
  making much headway because the thing is Abudar is very strange. They have very
• 1:17:29
  strange customs. So like it, it's very routine for locals to challenge each
• 1:17:35
  other to duels to the death. In fact, like Abudara men's Ebudara men
• 1:17:43
  can will routinely challenge each other because for like the smallest things like if you
• 1:17:47
  succeed in if you survive a duel, all right, like depending on how
• 1:17:51
  many duels and man survive, that makes them more favorable in terms of like
• 1:17:57
  oh job placement or uh impressing a woman to marry him, like like women
• 1:18:02
  will be all, well, it'll show up, be like I'm not going
• 1:18:04
  to marry a man with less than with less than ten duels under his banner.
• 1:18:10
  Oh. So it's very much like that. And women instead of having
• 1:18:15
  like engagement rings or wedding rings, they have wedding knives that they wear on
• 1:18:20
  a chain around their neck, and like on the hilt of the of their
• 1:18:26
  little wedding of their marriage knife will have like pearls and rubies on it,
• 1:18:30
  and depending on like the color or the shape of the gems, it determines
• 1:18:36
  like, okay, how many kids they have, how and how many of
• 1:18:40
  them have died an adult, and how many of them have survived. So
• 1:18:47
  very content they're very contentious a lot, and even just doing something as small
• 1:18:51
  as like asking questions about the area, like where can we find like this
• 1:18:56
  place or this you could you may end up getting challenged to a duel because
• 1:19:00
  like people don't like it when you ask these kind of questions. But eventually
• 1:19:04
  the girls actually come across these strange women throughout the city call they're called wise
• 1:19:13
  women, and they realize that these women can channel, but they're very weak
• 1:19:18
  in the power, so not something that the White Tower would take notice would
• 1:19:24
  take notice of them. So while they're exploring to the city, one of
• 1:19:30
  these women approaches her, approaches Elaine. And the thing is is that this
• 1:19:39
  woman that approaches Elaine believes that Elaine is actually a runaway from the Tower,
• 1:19:44
  and even though Elaine tells her, no, I am a full sister of
• 1:19:48
  the White Tower. The one absolutely refuses to believe her and begins telling her
• 1:19:54
  that Lake tells her that listen, I don't care like you could tell yourself
• 1:19:57
  how you want. You're no, you're not You're not a full sister.
• 1:20:00
  Uh, you better come with me. We have there's this there's a group
• 1:20:04
  of women that help runaways like you find hiding and shelter. So you better
• 1:20:10
  come with me, or else I'm going to report you to the system,
• 1:20:12
  to the real sisters, and they'll just drag your ass back to the tower.
• 1:20:15
  And uh. Elene is frustrated, but Ninive tells her, wait,
• 1:20:19
  wait, wait, hold up, this might actually work in our favor.
• 1:20:23
  So they follow the woman and they take her to they take that woman takes
• 1:20:27
  them to a to a house filled with these wise women. And these wise
• 1:20:31
  women are like the current leaders, the elders of the of a group of
• 1:20:35
  women of wise women. They call themselves the Kin, and the kin question
• 1:20:43
  the girls. But the thing is is that, like the girls tell them,
• 1:20:45
  listen, we are actually full sisters of the eyesid Eye, and we're
• 1:20:49
  here looking for a trong real somewhere in the ray hat and we could use
• 1:20:53
  your help. But just like the other woman. These the elders refuse to
• 1:20:58
  believe that Ninive and Elaine our full sisters, and it gets to the point
• 1:21:01
  where they get so frustrated with them that the elders say, all right,
• 1:21:04
  that's it, We're turning you into the White Tower. So they put the
• 1:21:08
  girls out and they say you better get out of if you want to avoid
• 1:21:13
  going getting shipped off to the White Tower, you best get out of town
• 1:21:15
  quickly, because we're gonna tell the We're gonna report you to the UH,
• 1:21:18
  to the Isidai in the palace, and we're also gonna UH put the word
• 1:21:24
  out for every inn in the city saying that there's two girls posing as well
• 1:21:28
  as isaid I. But you might as well get out of here quick.
• 1:21:31
  And at this point, like Ninia herself is frustrated because she like, she
• 1:21:35
  thought like she had something, like she had a good lead, but only
• 1:21:40
  to like for its, but only got the door slammed in her face.
• 1:21:43
  And Elaine is pits. She's understandably too, because she like by the authority
• 1:21:53
  of the ambulance seat, she is now a sister, a full fledged sister.
• 1:21:58
  She is not an accepted she is not novice and she's had enough at
• 1:22:02
  this point, she's had enough of everyone, assuming she's still a novice,
• 1:22:09
  right, so when she and her she and Ninive go back to the palace.
• 1:22:12
  By that point, the other rebel sisters got word from the Kin that
• 1:22:18
  they are about the about the girls. And the thing is, of course,
• 1:22:25
  the sisters know that the that Elaine and Ninive are full sisters, but
• 1:22:29
  they still act like their novices, treat them like their novices, and uh,
• 1:22:35
  they start scolding the two girls, saying, like, you're not leaving
• 1:22:39
  the palace anymore, all right, we'll handle the whole the search for the
• 1:22:44
  for the Toronto Rey all And this is where Elaine herself gets so pissed off
• 1:22:48
  that she embraces the source and she basically like puts her foot down in front
• 1:22:54
  of them, and the girl and the other sisters try to scold her,
• 1:22:57
  like who told you to embrace the power? Release it now, like you
• 1:23:00
  know, wagging their finger at her, but she turns on them and she
• 1:23:02
  says no, and she and she like basically she just points to them.
• 1:23:09
  It's just like sit the by the authority of Igwayne Almira, the Amberline seat,
• 1:23:20
  the woman that you chose to lead you in the rebel, in our
• 1:23:26
  rebel forces, I have been made a full sister of the I said Eye.
• 1:23:31
  I'm not an accepted anymore. I am a member of the Green Aja,
• 1:23:34
  and I am sick and tired of you treating me like I'm not because
• 1:23:39
  if you don't, because if you're not acknowledging me as one of your sisters,
• 1:23:44
  you're basically you're basically going against the very decision of the ambulin herself.
• 1:23:51
  Do you not accept the the ambuln and respect her decisions? And the other
• 1:23:57
  sisters are like looking at each other like, oh shit, she's right.
• 1:24:02
  And because of that, and because of that, the other sisters basically roll
• 1:24:08
  like roll on their belt, like expose their bellies to her, and You're
• 1:24:11
  like, all right, we'll behave. And the thing is is like part
• 1:24:15
  of the Isidized hierarchy. They often defer to the judgment of the strongest channeler
• 1:24:24
  in the room. Mm hmm. So while it's not an official power how
• 1:24:28
  like structure of power, it is something that is part of their culture.
• 1:24:33
  And since Elaine is the strongest channeler in the White Tower next to Igwayne and
• 1:24:39
  Ninive, every single one of those isid Eyes had like had no choice.
• 1:24:44
  Like they all immediately submitted to her, and she tells them, all,
• 1:24:46
  right, here's what we're gonna do, and she leads them back to the
• 1:24:54
  house where the Kin was, and with the all the sisters following her,
• 1:24:59
  they confront the l of the Kin. Because at this point, the I
• 1:25:02
  said, I reveal that the White Tower has been completely aware of the Kin
• 1:25:06
  this entire time because the Kin they keep themselves hidden from the White Tower because
• 1:25:12
  they help runaways and wash outs from the White Tower. Yeah, most especially
• 1:25:17
  the runaways because some girls they run away from the Tower, and the White
• 1:25:21
  Tower they have a reputation of always finding you. So we Kin try to
• 1:25:27
  help these girls to keep them from to protect them and keep them from being
• 1:25:30
  taken back to the White Tower, because if they don't want to go back,
• 1:25:32
  then by all means they don't, they shouldn't have to be forced to
• 1:25:35
  go back. But the White Tower does not allow novices to run to just
• 1:25:41
  run away because you know, they're still they're channelers that are still untrained and
• 1:25:45
  not responsible enough to use the power. Yeah, so if they allowed them
• 1:25:49
  to run free, then then at that point, whatever damage they cause,
• 1:25:54
  it's that the White Tower is going to be held responsible for it. But
• 1:25:59
  the thing is, what the kN didn't know was that the White Tower was
• 1:26:00
  aware of their existence the entire time, and they would actually use the can
• 1:26:08
  to track where runaways are being taken so like because like they know that there's
• 1:26:13
  agents of the Kin hiding in Tarbalan. So when a girl tries to run
• 1:26:16
  away, a novice tries to run away, they're immediately taken in by the
• 1:26:19
  can and shipped off to Abu Dhar. So like the isaid I are like,
• 1:26:25
  all right, we know where they're going, so they'll send a sister
• 1:26:27
  there, or they'll let whatever sister whoever is already in the tower, like
• 1:26:30
  in Budar, know that, hey there's a novice coming your way, come
• 1:26:34
  get her. You better get her. And there'd be a sister waiting for
• 1:26:39
  the novice, and the sisters like all right, you're back to the tower
• 1:26:41
  with you. So the Kin didn't know that the iaid I already knew of
• 1:26:46
  their existence. But Elaine is like, all right, well we're we need
• 1:26:49
  this, We need this bowl of wins. They know where it is.
• 1:26:53
  We know for a fact they know where it is, and they're gonna take
• 1:26:56
  us to it. So they go back and with all of the iceid I
• 1:27:01
  backing her up, they convinced the kin that yes, Elaine is a sister
• 1:27:08
  of the eyesid Eye. In fact, she's the one in charge of this
• 1:27:10
  whole operation. Yeah, and the kid are all like they're practically shitting themselves
• 1:27:15
  because now they're surrounded by full fledged sisters, and they agree to help them,
• 1:27:20
  and they reveal that, yes, we do know where this cachet of
• 1:27:24
  barangerial is hidden. We'll take you to it. And yes, the bowl
• 1:27:31
  you're describing is it's definitely there. And the thing is is that Elaine,
• 1:27:39
  while she's among the kin, she notices something odd about them. A lot
• 1:27:44
  of the kin they don't have the same ageless face as the iceid I do.
• 1:27:48
  Like all I said, I, when they reach a certain age they
• 1:27:51
  get they take on what is called an agelessless, an agelessness. So even
• 1:27:57
  though like their hair turns all white with age, their face remains unlined and
• 1:28:01
  unchanged. But she's looking at these women and many of them look like they're
• 1:28:06
  in their middle years, like they're middle aged, prose feet, wrinkles all
• 1:28:12
  that. So she decides to ask the leader of the of the elders,
• 1:28:16
  how old are you? And the lady says, I'm four hundred years old,
• 1:28:24
  and the other I said, I are shocked by this because I said,
• 1:28:30
  I don't live past the age of three hundred. Yeah. Hell,
• 1:28:33
  one of the sisters was so shocked she fainted. So I thought that was
• 1:28:40
  like, oh, I'm four hundred years old, bitch, the fuck you're
• 1:28:47
  older than the oldest I said I in the tower. The fuck muffoonery,
• 1:28:53
  buffoonery of at all. Yeah. Anyway, so we're gonna go back to
• 1:28:57
  Ran in a bit, but I just want to leave off on this.
• 1:29:00
  So while Elaine was handling the kin, she sends ninive to make contact with
• 1:29:09
  UH the Meir. Because all over the place, all along coastlines, river
• 1:29:15
  cities, everything, there's been the mir have been appearing because they have been
• 1:29:19
  looking for Rand because they believe Rand is their own profec Prophecis Messiah called the
• 1:29:28
  Cora more and seeing that there's one there, they realized they could use the
• 1:29:31
  Amir's help. Because Elaine knows from personal experience at the mir are expert we
• 1:29:40
  UH weather workers, so they know how so they have very advanced weaves that
• 1:29:46
  allow them to control the weather, and since they have they're about to get
• 1:29:50
  their hands on tarangre all that can control the weather. Want what better uh
• 1:29:55
  way to use it than with the help of weather workers themselves, So she
• 1:30:00
  sends Ninive to the Athon mirr Uh with a to ask for their help.
• 1:30:08
  Because when they get the ball and when they're and when they're going to use
• 1:30:11
  it, they're going to use a full circle of sisters linked together, so
• 1:30:15
  thirteen so about thirteen channelers link together. They're all going to work. They're
• 1:30:20
  going to pull their power into the bowl to break the dark ones hold over
• 1:30:25
  the seasons. And the thing is is that the Athon mirr are notorious bargainers,
• 1:30:31
  right, They're like, all right, we'll help you, but you
• 1:30:32
  gotta make it worth our while. And Ninive and Elaine being very inexperienced with
• 1:30:39
  negotiating and bargaining, they end up getting backed into a bargain that's very unfavorable
• 1:30:45
  for the Isi Eye. So in exchange for their help, the isida I
• 1:30:48
  have to turn over the Bowl of winds after they fix the weather. And
• 1:30:55
  also the isid I must agree to share their secrets with the athanmir So the
• 1:31:03
  isid I will have to choose like twenty of their sisters to send to the
• 1:31:10
  island to the Ethon Mirran Islands to train the wind Finders, like as if
• 1:31:15
  they were full sisters, so like train them in everything concerning concerning the power,
• 1:31:19
  from linking to worder bonds, pretty much anything anything that a wind Finder
• 1:31:26
  wants to know that the Isidi has to teach them. And also as part
• 1:31:30
  of the bargain, the Athon Mirror are free to come and go from the
• 1:31:33
  White Tower as they please, learn whatever they want from them, and then
• 1:31:36
  they can book it. Right, they don't have to be not they don't
• 1:31:40
  have to join the White Tower as novices. They don't have to join the
• 1:31:43
  White Tower like in any capacity. They can remain independent, which on one
• 1:31:47
  head, I can see why they would want that, because the wind Finders
• 1:31:50
  have always been afraid of being discovered by the Isidi, because then if they
• 1:31:56
  were, then the Isid I may try to, like you know, not
• 1:32:00
  kill them. But uh well no, no, no, no, they
• 1:32:03
  the they wouldn't do that. They the White Tower, they want they would
• 1:32:08
  want to they would try to recruit them, bring them under the White bring
• 1:32:13
  them under the White Tower's control. Because hell, there's currently a wind Finder
• 1:32:17
  in the than mir who's stronger than Ninive. So Naive I was doing research.
• 1:32:25
  She's like score like, I'm a score from one to ten, one
• 1:32:31
  being the strongest you can be with the power as a woman. Ninive Is
• 1:32:35
  is a third level Mogeian is on the is four and this other this wind
• 1:32:45
  finder is a two, with Landfair, Olivia and Samarage being number one.
• 1:32:54
  So it's crazy. But the thing is is that they're desperate. Even a
• 1:33:00
  lane have no choice but to agree to their bargain, and so the win
• 1:33:03
  finder. So the Thandmer agree to loan them a small group of their wind
• 1:33:08
  finders to link with them so they can use the bolt, so they could
• 1:33:11
  use the weather bowlt. We're gonna go ahead and pause right here, and
• 1:33:16
  we're gonna take a step back over to RAN's real quick, because it's not
• 1:33:20
  done. Their story isn't done in this book yet, but we're gonna come
• 1:33:25
  back to them. So back to Iran. So Ran had been unconscious for
• 1:33:31
  several days. In that time, he recovers and he finally wakes up,
• 1:33:38
  and he finds himself surrounded by Katswayne Men and a few other advisors. Men
• 1:33:43
  is arguing with Katswayn because Katswayn wants to try to wake him up, try
• 1:33:46
  to like force him to wake up, and Men's like, no, you
• 1:33:49
  can't do that, like he needs to heal. But he wakes up anyway,
• 1:33:53
  and he's like, oh, this is awkward because the thing is is
• 1:33:58
  that when they put him in bed and they were treating him, they stripped
• 1:34:02
  him of all his clothes. So he's basically just naked under the sheets,
• 1:34:08
  and he's like, with someone of mind, getting many of my clothes please,
• 1:34:11
  I'm surrounded by a bunch of women. Yeah, and uh kats Wayne
• 1:34:19
  like like Min and Katswayne kind of scold him, like we're not your servants,
• 1:34:23
  and he's like all right, then tucks off his sheets, gets up
• 1:34:27
  buckets naked in front of all these women, like Min is like she's enjoyed
• 1:34:30
  the show, but Katswyn's like, I hardly know you, but I've already
• 1:34:34
  seen your hairless ass more times than I care to see it. So he
• 1:34:41
  gets dressed and he asks them, so, what's been going on, what's
• 1:34:43
  good? What's popping? They tell him, well, like his advisors tell
• 1:34:46
  him, well, your forces are now completely in place he had before Wren
• 1:34:53
  had gone to see the rebels. He had actually sent a small team of
• 1:34:58
  seaman to join the to join his forces and to begin assaulting the UH the
• 1:35:03
  Ilien outposts along the border along the border of Tyran Ilien. UH. So
• 1:35:09
  they start doing that and they actually make really great progress. But his shaman
• 1:35:13
  reports to him that they encountered another male channeler, this one way more powerful
• 1:35:18
  than they were. And Rad's like, yep, that's someone else. So
• 1:35:21
  it looks like he's joined the fight. And they tell him like, he's
• 1:35:25
  still currently uh. He's still currently holding UH, holding our forces back.
• 1:35:31
  So Rand's like, all right, we don't have much, we don't have
• 1:35:33
  any time to waste. So he gathers he gathers the shaman with him,
• 1:35:39
  and they traveled and he travels with them to Camelin and there he meets Davorn
• 1:35:45
  Uh. He meets Davren Bashir, the Saldi, the sld in general and
• 1:35:53
  his forces who decided to join Ran. In book six, Uh that year
• 1:36:00
  had been grown had been recruiting and growing more of his UH more of Rand's
• 1:36:03
  troops in Caitlin and under, and Rand had already given him had told him
• 1:36:10
  to be ready for Uh to go on the assault. And when Rand shows
• 1:36:14
  up, his soldiers are all ready. Uh his cavalry, Beshier's cavalry and
• 1:36:19
  horsemen are ready, and Rain's like, all right, let's go. He
• 1:36:23
  opens a portal and Bashier leads his forces through the through the gateway and they
• 1:36:30
  immediately come out into the city of Ilien itself and so Uh Bashier's forces immediately
• 1:36:36
  assault the city. Rand goes through and Uh with his small group of shaman.
• 1:36:44
  He tells him to set to set themselves up in different places around the
• 1:36:47
  city and using weaves he showed them to the use. Uh they all set
• 1:36:50
  themselves up and lay a trap. Because what Ran was doing he was deliberately
• 1:36:56
  drawing Samiel away from the city and distracting him with the main bulk of his
• 1:37:00
  forces along the border of Tier in order to in order for a Rand to
• 1:37:04
  slip in unnoticed and set up a trap for Uh. For semil So while
• 1:37:12
  him and his so and Rand knew that once he arrives in the city,
• 1:37:15
  whatever traps and whatever safeguards some of else put him place around the city,
• 1:37:21
  they would probably go off and they would definitely alert Semiel to his presence,
• 1:37:26
  which happens, and some of El shows up and immediately assaults him and his
• 1:37:30
  shaman and they all fight back against him. U Smil. The thing about
• 1:37:34
  Somethel though, he's very crafty. He knows how to get himself out of
• 1:37:38
  a sticky situation. So he actually manages to lure Rand into a trap of
• 1:37:45
  his own. And the way he does that is that he lures Rand through
• 1:37:48
  a gateway into Shardala Goth. So Samil leads him into Shardlogoth and there the
• 1:37:57
  two of them begin fighting, but it's more of like a game of cat
• 1:38:00
  and mouse. Someone Els not confronting Rand directly. He's more just like hiding
• 1:38:05
  and throwing fireballs, and at one point he uses a weave fire and earth
• 1:38:12
  to create these like they kind of look like bolts of lightning, but they're
• 1:38:17
  bright red and whenever the strand the tendrils touch you, they burn you and
• 1:38:23
  they'll cut through it. They pretty much cut through anything, and Rand being
• 1:38:27
  a very powerful channeler himself, he's able to instantly reverse engineer the weave,
• 1:38:33
  like learns how to use the weave and starts using it himself. So it's
• 1:38:39
  funny every time Rand fights one of the male forsaken, he learns something new
• 1:38:43
  from them, Like he learned how to create gateways from Esmodian his fight front
• 1:38:47
  with Asmodian. He learned how to open portals into the dream world from a
• 1:38:53
  Shawmel, And he didn't really learn much from Rovin. I think with Robin
• 1:38:59
  he figured out how to actually travel because the gateway part from Asmodi, and
• 1:39:02
  he only learned how to skin but not actually travel. Yeah, just there's
• 1:39:08
  a difference. But anyway, so the two of them are fighting, and
• 1:39:15
  the thing is, though it's already getting late, and whenever night falls,
• 1:39:20
  Mashadar begins to appear in the city. So Mashadar filose of you don't don't
• 1:39:27
  remember, is a mislike entity that possesses the city of Shadarla Goth and anything
• 1:39:33
  any living thing that's caught in the city at night without any kind of protection.
• 1:39:38
  H Mashadar will instantly will immediately come right at you and kill you.
• 1:39:45
  And staying too long and shout out of the Goth can actually corrupt you to
• 1:39:48
  it's evil. So it's very being in that city for any kind of extended
• 1:39:54
  period is bad for your health. I want to take a step back because
• 1:40:00
  I forgot to wait. No, no, I didn't forget. Uh.
• 1:40:04
  So Ran had actually been to Our look Off earlier in this book. Yeah,
• 1:40:11
  the reason why he was there was because Ran also came up with a
• 1:40:14
  plan. Uh decided that it was. Ran had decided that one of the
• 1:40:21
  best things to counter the Dark One and his forces is to locate all of
• 1:40:27
  the way gates all across the west Lands and seal them because he By this
• 1:40:31
  point, everyone knows that the Dark One is using the way gates to send
• 1:40:36
  his trilot forces throughout the West Lends because there are times where the Tarlots will
• 1:40:41
  just appear out of nowhere, right in areas that they have no presence in
• 1:40:45
  and attack Rand and his friends, and Ran realized it and everyone already knew,
• 1:40:53
  and he got confirmation from Parent that they were using the way gates.
• 1:40:57
  So Rand decided to go to should Our Love himself because there is a waygate
• 1:41:00
  in Shadar Logoth. He had gone there earlier in the book and he had
• 1:41:05
  sealed it. Unfortunately, like he while he was there, one of the
• 1:41:11
  members of his Spear Maiden guard got lost in the city and he had to
• 1:41:15
  leave her behind, so he thought she was dead. I say, I'm
• 1:41:17
  bringing this up now, because in the middle of his fight, he ends
• 1:41:20
  up running into that very spear maiden. Somehow she had managed to survive,
• 1:41:25
  but she had been driven mad by her long exposure to the city itself.
• 1:41:31
  But she runs off deeper into the city and he loses track of her.
• 1:41:35
  So Ran continues to search for someone Ol in the city real quick. On
• 1:41:41
  the subject of the way gates. After the shaar Logoth incident, Ran approaches
• 1:41:45
  the Ogir Loyal and asks him to go throughout the to travel throughout the throughout
• 1:41:55
  the lands and find all the waygates, as many waygates as he can find
• 1:42:00
  and seal them permanently. So of course, start with camelin Kyrine, tear
• 1:42:08
  all the waygates he can find. He sends one of his a shaman with
• 1:42:12
  Loyal to so that way they can travel to places a lot quicker. So
• 1:42:16
  that is what Loyol is doing. We're not gonna see Loyal again until the
• 1:42:19
  book. Hen oh I thought I mentioned that because it will he will pop
• 1:42:27
  up again. But in the middle of the fight, Ran finds himself in
• 1:42:32
  a in a large building and someone al had placed traps all over the city
• 1:42:42
  and he walked into one. Ran barely manages to avoid the trap, but
• 1:42:45
  it causes the ground beneath him to collapse, and before he falls in,
• 1:42:48
  Rand is rescued by a mysterious figure, a young man who's described as having
• 1:42:57
  like who's very pale with dark eyes and dark hair. Ran doesn't recognize the
• 1:43:00
  guy, but the guy tells him Like tells Ran rather ominously, like,
• 1:43:04
  you're it's not your time to die yet and uh. While while the guy
• 1:43:12
  is helping Rand up, Mashadar appears and begins coming into the room and reacting.
• 1:43:18
  Ran shoots a beam of bailfire at the mist. But as he's shooting
• 1:43:25
  the beam of belfire, he notices that the young man, that this mysterious
• 1:43:29
  man is also using bailfire. But he's very confused because he can't sense the
• 1:43:36
  man using the power. He can't sense the weaves or the power being used,
• 1:43:44
  which is weird because a man using the one power, Ran should have
• 1:43:49
  been able to see the weaves and sense him using the power, but he
• 1:43:53
  doesn't. He just sees the man lift his hand up and a beam of
• 1:43:56
  bailfire just shoots out. Yeah. At one point, there are two beams
• 1:44:01
  cross each other, and Ran experience like they connect with each other, and
• 1:44:05
  Ran experiences this strange sensation like of like images and emote and like emotions.
• 1:44:13
  And the other man is like confused too because he experienced the same thing,
• 1:44:16
  but he immediate but he immediately said uh, says all right, well see
• 1:44:23
  ya and dips. And it leaves Rand even more confused because how come he
• 1:44:30
  was. He's confused, like, how is that guy using bailfire but he's
• 1:44:33
  not using I didn't sense the power. But either way, Rand decides to
• 1:44:39
  like set that, leave to worry about that later and continue his search for
• 1:44:43
  some I L in the city, and he eventually does find some somemil near
• 1:44:47
  the way gate that near the waygate that I mentioned earlier, and Rand actually
• 1:44:55
  got managed to sneak up on some L. But before he could some L,
• 1:45:00
  they both hear somebody screaming, and when Rn looks down towards the way
• 1:45:03
  gate, he sees the spear maiden that had been left behind, and she
• 1:45:10
  unfortunately got caught by Mashadar. The mist had grabbed one of her, one
• 1:45:14
  of her legs, and it was about to kill her, and Ran,
• 1:45:16
  remembering knowing how horrible it is to be killed by Mashadar. He instead uses
• 1:45:25
  a beam of bailfire to kill her himself. Just put her out of her
• 1:45:28
  misery, yeah, damn. But the thing is is that this distracted Ran.
• 1:45:34
  So when he looked away, this had distracted both Rn and someone else.
• 1:45:39
  So when he looked away and took him and killed his spear maiden to
• 1:45:44
  keep her from like because there was no way he could save her from Mashadar
• 1:45:46
  in time, so he figured he'd put her out of her misery before it
• 1:45:50
  could kill her. The thing is, though, Mashadar had been sneaking up
• 1:45:56
  on Semil, so when Semio got distracted, it came up on him and
• 1:46:00
  it killed him. Damn. So I was like when that happened, I
• 1:46:05
  was like, ah, well, that's disappointing, right, what way to
• 1:46:12
  go? Man? But either way, the battle is won and Ran decides
• 1:46:18
  to uh head back to Ilian. It's there an alien that he meets.
• 1:46:25
  He meets up with Bashier again and Bashier informs him that they've secured the city
• 1:46:30
  and the other councilors of the U and the other members of the High Council
• 1:46:34
  of Ilian. Those counselors present themselves to Ran, and they actually thank Ran
• 1:46:41
  because they knew that there was something off about Samuel, who was using a
• 1:46:45
  going under a different name. And they said that their actual king had disappeared
• 1:46:54
  a few days before, and Samiel had been taking the reins of things.
• 1:46:59
  Ran reveals that that man is most likely dead, that their king is most
• 1:47:01
  slightly dead, and now somebody else also dead, and the counselors are relieved,
• 1:47:08
  and they and they thank Ran for helping them and for his help.
• 1:47:13
  They the High Counselor presents Rand with the laurel Crown of Ilion, and he
• 1:47:20
  says, well, bye, right, you've taken Ilien. So you've taken
• 1:47:25
  Ilien by right, this crown is yours. You're not if you so wish.
• 1:47:30
  You are now king of Ilion. And Ran looks at the crown and
• 1:47:34
  he notices that woven within the law the laurel shaped wreath are like little blades
• 1:47:40
  like swords. And Rand instead decides to rename the laurel crown to the crown
• 1:47:47
  of Swords, and he takes the crown, places it on his head,
• 1:47:50
  and he is now King of Ilian. Damn, yep, he've been busy
• 1:47:57
  and m hm, he ain't busy, so now. So now Ilian is
• 1:48:00
  under his control. Rand now has control of five different nations, the Aeel
• 1:48:06
  Tear, Kyrine, came and Or and Ilian God Damn. Yep. So
• 1:48:15
  that's pretty much where the story ends with Rands. We're gonna go back to
• 1:48:17
  our girls back in Ebudar because things are about to get spicy for them as
• 1:48:23
  well. Yeah, not spicy, spie, not that kind of spicy,
• 1:48:27
  but crazy gray gray. So after securing their bargain with the Athan mir,
• 1:48:36
  Elaine and Ninive are led to the ray Hat by the Kin and it's there
• 1:48:43
  they lead him to the storeroom where the trong Gril are being held, but
• 1:48:47
  when they reach it, they are confronted by Dark Friends being led by two
• 1:48:51
  sisters of the of the Black Aza. These sisters are some of the remaining
• 1:48:56
  sisters from the thirteen that had that Elaine and Ninif had originally been sent been
• 1:49:01
  sent to capture and track down. Yeah, so they're they're confronted by those
• 1:49:06
  two sisters. Elaine had gone upstairs to the storeroom itself with several of the
• 1:49:12
  Kin. While they're up there, they're confronted by several Dark Friend thugs,
• 1:49:17
  including one mysterious man who when Elaine tries to restrain him with the power,
• 1:49:27
  the power that her threads and we've vanished before they could touch him, so
• 1:49:31
  she couldn't affect him with the power. He knocks her out and Matt,
• 1:49:35
  who had gone along with them, he rushed upstairs to try to help her
• 1:49:40
  and confronts this man. And when he confronts him, the man begins to
• 1:49:45
  like avoid his attacks with his spear, like because Matt has his a Shandai
• 1:49:50
  spear, not a maginata, but it's like it's kind of like similar to
• 1:49:56
  that Japanese spear where it's like, you know, it's a paul arm but
• 1:50:00
  with a curve blade at the top. I'm sure if it's either way.
• 1:50:08
  He attacks this mysterious man with his spear, but every time he tries to
• 1:50:13
  let an attack, the man seems to like fold and flow around his attacks
• 1:50:16
  like water like we're talking like, mister fantastic, kind of stretching and and
• 1:50:21
  weaving and tucking and weaving. And the man, actually, this thug,
• 1:50:27
  this creature pins Matt down and desperation man Matt grabbed his fox head pennant,
• 1:50:35
  which, if you remember, is a tarangoreoal that protects him from the weave
• 1:50:40
  itself as well, and he strikes the men with the with his pendant,
• 1:50:45
  and when the pennant touches the man's skin, it begins to melt and flow
• 1:50:48
  like liquid, and this actually hurts the creature, and the creature jumps away
• 1:50:55
  from him, and rather than attack him further, it decides to just on
• 1:51:00
  away when and when it runs away, it runs into a room. When
• 1:51:03
  Matt fallows it into the room, it's gone so UH. After that,
• 1:51:11
  Matt assesses the damage. Several of the kinswomen were killed by the creature.
• 1:51:15
  Elaine is okay. She tells him what happened, how the creature wasn't affected
• 1:51:19
  by her weaves. He goes back down to check on Ninive. Ninive had
• 1:51:25
  managed to Uh with with the rest of Matt's guard, managed to ward off
• 1:51:30
  the two sisters, the two I sid Eye. In fact, they actually
• 1:51:34
  managed to capture them, so the two Black Sisters, the two Black As
• 1:51:41
  Sisters, and Uh warred off the rest of his forces. UH Now when
• 1:51:45
  the thugs that when the Dark Prints had attacked, they had managed to get
• 1:51:47
  into the storeroom and steal several boxes of Truangreal. But when Elaine goes back,
• 1:51:53
  goes into the room and inspects it. She finds that the weather bowl
• 1:51:56
  is still there, so thankfully at wasn't stolen. With the rest of the
• 1:52:01
  with the surviving band, they take all of the the boxes in the storeroom
• 1:52:08
  and immediately go back to the palace. There they finalize their about their deal
• 1:52:13
  with the FM Mirror and they make their plans to leave the city. Matt
• 1:52:19
  begins to make his own plans leave like he said like, he stays behind
• 1:52:24
  to help uh like get the rest of his band out and they're gonna meet.
• 1:52:29
  He was planning on meeting the sisters later because what they were gonna do
• 1:52:34
  they were gonna head to a spot that the Kin knew would be safe and
• 1:52:39
  isolated where they can use the bull without being disturbed. And then once they
• 1:52:43
  were done, they were gonna come back to the city and gather the rest
• 1:52:46
  of their team and go back to Saladar. But just as soon as the
• 1:52:56
  as Elaine ninive the rest of their eyes their Isidi, the Kin and the
• 1:53:00
  FM Mirror. As soon as they leave the city, they Elaine creates a
• 1:53:05
  gateway and they travel to spot outside of the city. All right, so
• 1:53:12
  the just as the girls travel out of the city with their the group of
• 1:53:16
  air and kinswomen in Isidai. The Math begins gathering his men who are currently
• 1:53:23
  scattered around the city, and that is when the shan Shan invade, so
• 1:53:30
  they immediately create a blockade in the bay of the city. They are forces
• 1:53:35
  uh based in the landing forces to assault the city itself, and the Demane
• 1:53:42
  began wreaking havoc on the Udaran forces and matt Is is trapped under a collapsed
• 1:53:51
  building and it's at this point this is where the book ends. It's such
• 1:53:59
  a cliff hanger. I'm like, no, not yeah, because I didn't
• 1:54:06
  mentioned this before. But throughout this book there were hints that the Challenge we're
• 1:54:11
  about to attack, and it was kind of like that, Like it was
• 1:54:14
  kind of nerve wracking. You're like, oh, my god, are they
• 1:54:15
  gonna attack? Are they gonna attack? And then like this whole event happens
• 1:54:19
  where they're where the girls are attacked by dark friends and you're just like,
• 1:54:25
  oh, like completely distracted by that thing. And then like they leave to
• 1:54:29
  go deal to go use the weather bowl, right, and then oh look,
• 1:54:32
  and then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Damn. And but
• 1:54:38
  but instead of the Fire Nation, it's it's the Shan Shane and then Jehan.
• 1:54:45
  Like it sounds like you're saying strong Shong Sean Sean, like your roommate
• 1:54:58
  Sean Sean, Sean John Shawn, Sean Chawn. Yeah, I'm saying Sean.
• 1:55:06
  Okay, it's because I switched to my phone because you're like, I
• 1:55:11
  don't know, you sound weird. Now you sound weird. You are weird,
• 1:55:16
  pot kettle. So anyway, this is where the book ends. I
• 1:55:23
  was when I read this part. Uh, I just remember something. Let's
• 1:55:30
  let's take a step back, and so the book ends, but like I
• 1:55:34
  want to mention a few things that happened. So when Ninive went to go
• 1:55:40
  uh meet up with the Mirror to organize their bargain and solidify everything, he's
• 1:55:45
  actually attacked by She's attacked from from Afar by Mogeddion. So Mgeddion realized she
• 1:55:51
  noticed Ninive heading to the docs so she could take a ferry to this athon
• 1:55:58
  Mirror ship. And when she sees her, uh, Mulgettian finds a place
• 1:56:02
  like a high position and she looks for the boat that's that I Needa is
• 1:56:08
  on and when she sees it. She suits a blast of bail fire at
• 1:56:14
  it, cutting the boat in half, and i Need nearly drowns because the
• 1:56:18
  boat begins speaking sinking and she can't get out of She can't get out,
• 1:56:24
  so she's trying really hard to embrace the source to get out of it,
• 1:56:28
  but she still has to deal with her mental block, and eventually she actually
• 1:56:33
  gets completely trapped under water and she nearly drowns. But it's at that moment
• 1:56:40
  where she's almost like she's almost gonna die, where she's finally able to let
• 1:56:44
  go of everything and embrace the thors because the thing about skidar, the way
• 1:56:51
  you embrace sidar is that you don't reach out for it and grab it and
• 1:56:55
  control it. You open yourself to it and you surrender to it and you
• 1:57:00
  guide it from there. So open surrender God. And it's at that moment
• 1:57:08
  where she nearly dies, where she's finally able to surrender and it breaks her
• 1:57:12
  mental block. Announced you can channel at will, and she was able to
• 1:57:16
  she was able to break herself out of the sinking boat, but she's still
• 1:57:21
  she was dragged far underwater, and she still almost drowns. But at that
• 1:57:26
  point Lenin had shown up. He finally arrived in the city and he and
• 1:57:31
  he saw where Nineve was going, and he was trying to follow her,
• 1:57:34
  but he saw he sees Smogedion's attack and he immediately tries to save her,
• 1:57:40
  and he jumps in the water and he does manage to grab her and pull
• 1:57:43
  her up, and Ninive ends up. Like when she sees Lan and realizes
• 1:57:49
  that he's there, She's so happy and overjoyed that she immediately is like,
• 1:57:54
  all right, I'm not letting I'm not letting your ass go. We're getting
• 1:57:58
  married right here, right now, and she drags so she drags him to
• 1:58:02
  the AFN mirror and ship and she's like, all right, we're here to
• 1:58:05
  I'm here to complete uh finished making the bargain with y'all. But hey,
• 1:58:11
  do you guys do marriages, Like, do you officiate marriages? I need
• 1:58:15
  you to. I need you to wet us right now. I'm marrying this
• 1:58:17
  bitch, right I'm marrying this pool right now, we're doing this. So
• 1:58:20
  n Need immediately marries Lan right on the spot, and Lance kind of like
• 1:58:27
  he's a very stoic man, but I think she gave him whiplash with how
• 1:58:30
  fast she he put a ring on him. Yeah, and uh so,
• 1:58:38
  yeah, there's that, and then everything else happens, and uh, that's
• 1:58:45
  where the book is pretty much over. The book ends with Sean Shaan invading
• 1:58:48
  Edu Dhar, and sadly we won't get to see them use the weather bowl
• 1:58:54
  until the next book. But don't worry. Happens right off the bat and
• 1:58:59
  we actually we actually get to see what happens with the Sean Shan. Sadly,
• 1:59:03
  we won't figure out what happened to Matt until book nine. So for
• 1:59:09
  all book eight you're kind of wondering, like you see alive, because it
• 1:59:12
  ended with him like last time we see him, a building collapses on him
• 1:59:15
  and that's it. Lights out. We don't know if he's dead, if
• 1:59:19
  we're gonna if he's like a prisoner of the Shan Shan. What happens uh
• 1:59:27
  huh, But we'll find out. We'll find out more about him in book
• 1:59:31
  nine. And but till then, we still got book eight to do,
• 1:59:35
  which we will be doing next week. And uh. Book eight is called
• 1:59:41
  the Path of Daggers, and a lot happens in book eighth. We see
• 1:59:50
  rand Uh, it's more, it's less, it's less uh, conflicts like
• 1:59:58
  actual like fight and conflicts, and it's more of like gets more into like
• 2:00:03
  the alliances and people's it gets into the like the more in depth in like
• 2:00:13
  terms of people's allegiances to ran Elaine finally goes to Camlin to assume her her
• 2:00:19
  place as the Queen of King, as the Queen of Andor, but she
• 2:00:25
  also has to face her own little political campaign because it's not like, oh,
• 2:00:30
  so she's a princess of and Or and the daughter heir, but she
• 2:00:34
  still has to get the support of the other noble houses of Camlin if she's
• 2:00:42
  going to assume the throne. So it's kind of like an election. It's
• 2:00:45
  like an election run, except she has to garner support from the other nobles.
• 2:00:50
  Of course she can take the throne, and that's gonna be hard for
• 2:00:54
  her to do because her mom kind of fucked things up for her, but
• 2:00:59
  it wasn't really her mom's fault, it was Robin manipulating her. So still
• 2:01:03
  it causes more problems. Rn has to deal with portrayal and also like loyalty
• 2:01:12
  and his loyalties and allegiances and things like that. So we're gonna see more.
• 2:01:16
  We're gonna see more of that in Book eight, which we will be
• 2:01:20
  talking about next week. M hm hm hm. So until then, thank
• 2:01:27
  y'all for listening and or watching, and catch'all next time. Until then,
• 2:01:33
  peace bye,
