  Speaker 1: be the last book we do for the Wheel of Time.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: We may or may not do the prequel. I have
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: not read it. I've moved on, he moved on. I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: have other books, so I still need to read. Yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: but before we can do that, let's before we can
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: do any of those, we got to finish this so
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: period for the last episode. Uh, we really set the stage.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: There was four battles, there was four different battlefronts. Ran
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: had completely united all of the all of the Westland nations,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: including the Sean Schean, because they are now part of that.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: He compelled them to sign it, to sign a treaty
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: called the Dragons. The I keep saying dragons, Priest, I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: don't know why I keep saying that the Dragon's Piece.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: He compelled them to sign the Dragon's Piece, and he
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: even managed to strong arm the shan Chan to do
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the same.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, he sure did compel them.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It's very compelling, Oh, very compelling. And now, in the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: wake of the final battle, it should they survive, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: should the Dragon and Reborn do his job and permanently
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: seal the dark One away, he will have ensured that
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the Westland nations will never go to war with each
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: other again. There. Uh, their borders will be locked in place.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: They will no longer be allowed to change their the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: boundaries surround of their of their lands. The shawn Sean
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: especially will not be permitted to continue their their conquests
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of the rest of the of the remaining nations. Uh.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: They will be allowed to keep any Demaney that they've
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: captured since coming to the Westlands. Uh. That was that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was non negotiable. Yep, of course, because those fuckers. Yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and the Ayyal as part of A as part of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: A as part of a revision to the Dragon's Peace.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: They were included not so much as the nations, but
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: they will be used as the worlds as the Westlands peacekeepers,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: so they will be free to travel between borders, settle disputes,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: make sure that all the nations stay amicable with each other,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and if they start, if war happens, the a Eel
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: will step in and ensure that doesn't go any further.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Beyond that, there are there were several other stipulations, and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: for the most part, all nations have agreed excuse me,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and now they have all banded together to fight the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Dark One and his forces. So the Dark One pretty
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: much set the stage for them. They knew that they
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: needed to hold the Dark One at bay as long
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: as possible while rand does his does his thing at Childgal.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So he himself let a lead an assault on Childgal.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Or rather he or rather he organized it to make
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it seem like he organized the battlefield to make it
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: seem like he is jumping between each battlefront. He sent
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a force to take chile Gull. He sent he placed
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: two different two parts of his army at at the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: borders of Candor and at Tarwin's Gap to hold back
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the Trolic forces while Elaine travels south to Camlin to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: lure out the Trollic forces that have overtaken Camlin. She
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: was successful in doing that, and she what what they
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: did was rather than siege the city itself, they would
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: force the Trolks to come out of the city and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: chase them. And they did and she did that. She
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: did that successfully. Elaine, alongside with Davn Bashir, they led
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Trollic forces on a wild chase throughout and Or,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: eventually turning eastward towards Kyrine, where they made a final stand.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Because as they were as they were fighting this uh
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: they were using a method of attack, an attack and retreat,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: they realized that there was a larger Trollic army that
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: had somehow gotten behind them. So they turned further to Kyrine,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: where they made a stand against the smaller Trollic forces.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: But they and they thought that they would have time
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to regroup before the larger force hits them. Unfortunately they
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: were They had been led into a trap by Bashir. Bashier,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: not not knowing that he was under compulsion, had unwittingly
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: led them into a trap, but thankfully the trap failed
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: due to the arrival of the Ashaman. The as Shaman
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: joined finally joined the battle. They were being held up
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: by Tayim or the Mahael as he's now called, back
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: at the Black Tower and Uh, but after Tayam was
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: driven out by a allied force of Logan and Uh
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and another shaman named Andrel, who is the weakest of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the Uh Shaman, but he has he has his own
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: unique talent of being able to open gateways of any size.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They both they were able to drive Tayim and his
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: dark friends and dread lords out of the Black Tower
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and finally joined the battle. So Logane arrived first at
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Kyne and together they were able to drive off the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: larger army from the south and eventually they retreated to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the field of Marilor. Uh Igwaine was holding Agwaine and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the Ice that I were holding the Candor the Candor border.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, due to Gareth Brynn himself also being a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: being compelled by Hesselam or Grendel, he was also misleading them,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: giving out UH somewhat misleading UH tactics and strategies and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: their forces got outmaneuvered and they were overwhelmed by the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: arrival of the fight of the last nation that has
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: yet to be introduced into the series, the Sharons. The
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Sharans inhabit a land far to the east on the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: other side of the Ayle Waste. They have their own
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: group of channelers called the Ayad. The Ayad, alongside with
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the Sharon foot soldiers, they launched an all out attack
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: on the Isidai camp, breaking their lines, forcing them to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: retreat further back. They were eventually joined by the Shan Shan,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: but it was there that they realized that Gareth, that
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Gareth brain was under compulsion and Matt being uh being
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: given haven't been given okay from the top, So the Sharons, Yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: which is the last nation to be introduced into this
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: uh that we have yet to see in the entire series.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: We've seen the Sean Sean, We've seen the a Eel,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and then of course the nations of the borderland. At
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: one point, all the every nation in the in the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Westlands have been introduced, even in the borderlands. But now
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the final nation, Shara, out maneuvered and overwhelmed the isid
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and their forces, forcing them to retreat. They broke their
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: lines of candor and they were forced to make a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: retreat back to the field of Maryllor. Uh. It was
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: there that they were joined by the other fort, by
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the other armies, and while they were doing their best
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: told the hold the line again, they were forced to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: retreat even further back into Marylor, even with the shawn
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Schan's help. Uh. They eventually Uh Matt, who was who
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: is now holding a high position of command within the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Seaun Sean due to his relationship to Fort Tuona, he
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: was getting he knows is immediately the unsound battle tactics
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that Gareth Bryn had been giving the Isidai, and he
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: sends a message to Agwayne letting her know that that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Brynn is a traitor and is most likely a dark friend.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: But they figured out that he was under compulsion, so
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he is taken off of command but not arrested. Ah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Of course, there was a moment when the Shan Shan
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and the Isidai forces met where Atgwayne and Tuan had
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a bit of a like a bit of a a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: dick measuring contest for lack of a better word. But
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: now that these there are two forces have set up
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: at the field of Marrillre. The other two forces that
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the other forces that were retreating UH that have been
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: forced to retreat Elaine's forces and her and forces of
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and Or and Kyrine joined them land after arresting Lord Agemayer,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the other Great Captain of UH, the other Great Captain
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: for the exact same reason. They are now all making
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a final stand at Marilord Yeah and in the interim,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Lord Idol, who was the final Captain of the final
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Great Captain. He himself had been taken off the board
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: because at child Goal, because he too was also being
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: compelled by Hasslam, but he was able to resist it
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to it for the most part. Perrin, who had been
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: fighting the Slayer in the dream world, had had noticed
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that Hessalam had been in the interim between his fights
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of the fights between him and the Slayer, he noticed
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that Hessalam had visited several places in the dream world,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: places that were where, roughly speaking, the other armies were,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and he noticed that she was that she was entering
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a part of the dream world where she can touch
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the dreams of people directly, and he realized that she
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: was placing compulsions on the five Great captains mm hmm,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: so he did. He was able to reach out to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Elias since Elias also has dream walking abilities, he was
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: able to reach out to Elias through there through his
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: dreams and tell him to try to go to Chilegall
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and make sure that Iterol is not UH is not
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: in command. So Elias along with the wolves that have
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: appeared at chile Goal as well, because all like if
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the wolves themselves all over the Westlands have like thousands
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: of wolves have traveled north to Chilegal. They made it
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: through the blight and have also joined the fight against
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Follox UH and Elias went with them as well. Elias
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: led a group of UH of wolves and captured Iterault
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and kept him out of the fight for just a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: short time period. But in the interim, UH the everyone
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: had to really just fight for themselves. What's his name
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: ruled He's one of the chiefs of the one of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the chiefs of the ay Eel had to take command
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: as well as the other Aeluh. The wind Finders are
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: continuing to are continuing their fight with the Literal Sky
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: because the Dark One is he is trying to use
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the weather to wipe out their forces, but the wind
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Finders armed with the weather bowl have been fighting the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Storm's back. So now they have to fight without their
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: great captain, which they are confident they can do. Kat
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Swayne Malidrin herself is there and then they have their whole.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: They have a strong force of wise ones and a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: few other i Sid Eye, and now even the y
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Shaman are starting to appear. Uh so since they since
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Itterall was removed, the Trollic forces were able to force
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: their way through the mouth of the Valley and Child Gull,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and the fight itself is starting to take is now
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: in the entire valley. The going back to marylor Oh wit,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry before we go back to marylor Rand has
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: complete has begun his fight with the Dark One. At first,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: he as soon as he entered as soon as he
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: entered the mouth of Child Gull, his wound, the unhealable
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: wound on his side has completely broken open and he's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: been steadily bleeding out. But he's holding out as long
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: as he can. He got he engaged in a one
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: on one sword fight with Mordan, and at one point
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the two of them got he pushed, the two of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: them got pushed to the towards this wall. Of darkness.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: That was the Dark One, who has already been able
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to somewhat enter the pattern, and as soon as they come
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: in contact with his darkness, Rand's mind is immediately assaulted
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: by the Dark One himself and the two of them
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: begin to have a mental shoving match. Now, so I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: want to just make a quick note. Before Ran entered
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: child goal, they heard the voice. They heard, Ah, they
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: heard a strange voice, and this voice basically gave Rand
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: all the encouragement he needed to fight to finish this fight.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: The words they heard was from this disembodied voice was
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it is time let let the task be undertaken. And Moraine,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: who was with him alongside Ninive, surmised that that was
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the voice of the Creator himself.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Now that the two are having this mental shoving match,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the while they're fighting, and while he was fighting Morgan,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: time was time. This close to the Dark One has
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: become so distorted that while this his little mental shoving
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: match with the Dark One may only last, and this
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: whole fight between him and the Dark One lasts maybe
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: about three hours, but out in the real world months
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: have gone by, say about three to four months have
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: gone by. Yeah, so when he entered child Goal. This
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: was very near the beginning of the Battle of the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: of the War of the final battle itself. But now
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: his forces have been for his allies have been forced
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to retreat and make a final stand, and the great
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: captains have been taken off the off the playing field,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and it's very likely that his forces are going to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: lose and the foot for for the rest of this book,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the focus is now going to be on the field
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of Marillor, where the final or the true final battle
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: has begun. This is the last this is the last stand.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: The isid Eye, the Borderlanders, the Shan Shan, the i Yield,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the Ashaman, and the all the forces of the War
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: of the Westlands have have banded together to fight hundreds
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of thousands of trolics. There's over like I think there
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: was almost two hundred thousand trollics that attack them, that
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: assaulted them at first. The way the way the field
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of Marylor I explained it a little bit. Field of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Marylor is divided by two rivers, like one river branches
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: off into two sections, so it's kind of like a
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: weird t shape. On one side, they have their uh
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: they have their camps. On the southern side of the rivers.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Then on the western on the northwestern side of the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: two rivers, there's like this raised hill it's flat. Where
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it's flat on the top, they call it the Heights.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And farther north to it, there's a bunch of ruins,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and then on the eastern side there's more ruins, and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: then there's just also another field. Elaine's forces are the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: ones that mainly hold that side of the field, while
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the isid Eye and the Shan Shan primarily focus on
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the northwestern side because that's where the brunt of the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Trolock forces and the Sharons now for now both of
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: their forces have joined up are both are concentrating their attack.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Elaine had set up her dragons on the heights themselves
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: because they had the greater advantage. Her forces held it
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: for some time before without warning, a large line of light,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a massive line of lights split the air just above
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the just above the heights, and it expands into a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: massive gateway. And walking through the gateway isn't the Sharon
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: forces like the last time, but it was just one
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: man demon Dred Demondred comes walking through that massive gateway
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: like a baller in his right hand. He's carrying the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: most powerful sa Angrial next to the Chden call called Skarnin.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Sicarnin looks like a golden looks like a golden scepter,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and it's adorned with what looks like a chalice. Skarnin
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: is believed to be more powerful than Rand's sword Calendor,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and alongside Sicarnin's power, Demon Dread is linked together with
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: seventy two with seventy two channelers, meaning this is the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: maximum the max that a that a circle can be
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a circle a link. Circle like this has not been
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: seen since the age of Legends. So with the iod
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and with both male and female Iods supporting him and
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: even some dread Lords, he walks onto the heights. He
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: travels right onto the heights by himself, and he brutally
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: attacks all of the of the forces holding it what
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: he massacres them the the Isidai that were on the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the Isidai and the Ashaman that were on the heights.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: They were able to save several of the dragons Uh,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: but most of them get destroyed. So unfortunately they lost
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: one of their greatest the the forces of the Light
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: lost one of their greatest weapons, and now they've also
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: lost the height advantage too. They've lost the high ground,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: so Demondred immediately moves his Sharen forces onto the heights.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: He orders his Iyad to begin raining fired down on
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the other for on the other forces, and the Taloks
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: also joined them on the heights. Basically, while the Troloks
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: are overrunning the northwestern side of the heights, the south
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the southeastern side of the heights are mostly held by
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the Isidai, the shan Shan, and some of and some
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of the Borderlanders. Excuse me, the This fight is probably
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: one of the most brutal fights because Demondred himself is
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: raining down. He's raining down so much damage. He's shooting
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: bailfire like he He's just drawing a line of bellfire
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: through the enemy through the forces of the Light. The
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: sean Shan and the isid I are doing their best
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to hold back the Ayad, but it seems like the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Iod have both surprisingly have both the combined forces of
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the isid I and the Demane outmatched. For the most part,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the two forces are able to hold each other at bay.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: But the thing is is that the isid I don't
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: use bail fire, but the dread Lords and the Iod
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: have no such quarry. They have no they are not
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: held up by that, so they're raining bail fire down
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: on the forces of the Light. Trolluks are at one.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: The Troluks have also have allso have been numerously outmaneuvering
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the forces of the Light. So at this point it's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: no longer there are no There are no great captains
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: holding the line UH giving out orders or battle or
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: coming up with strategies the since they've all been removed
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: due to their compulsions, it's now been left to Matt Coffin.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: So Matt Coffin for his UH. For what it's worth,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Matt Coffin Coffin has proven himself to be an excellent
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: battle strategist. Hell, the the other great captains take note
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of this, and and even the Shaun Shan's own captains
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: are all like these are These are some outrageous maneuvers,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: but well done. So the battle becomes more less, It's less,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the battle becomes more than just clashing of like multiple forces.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: It's a game. It's been it's been turned into a game.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: With Demon Dread giving out orders and maneuvering his forces
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: on one end, and with Matt having convinced both Fortuona
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and Elaine and Igwaine to give him command of their forces.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: They he is now fighting basically a game of outmaneuvering
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Demon Dread. The thing is is that Demon Dread is
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: considered the father of warfare. Back in the age of Legends,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Demon Dread was the one who rediscovered the art of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: war because before the collapse, warfare had been extinct. It
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: had been long forgotten for centuries, if not thousands of years.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: But Demon Dread during the collapse, rediscovered it. He put
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: he pieced together the art of warfare, troop maneuvers, strategies,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: all everything to do with warfare. He rediscovered it and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: he mastered it. The only person that was said to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: have been even better at warfare than Demon Dread was
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the Dragon himself. So now Demon Dread believe on Demon
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Dred's side. He notices that the forces of the Lights
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: have been out maneuvering him as well. For every maneuver
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he has, they come up with a clever counter counter maneuver,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and Demondred is like, hmm, I wonder who's been out
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: maneuvering me? Like he thinks that he believes that the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: person out maneuvering him is the dragon Reborn himself, and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: throughout the battle he's continuously shouting, calling out the dragon,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: saying to face him directly, but he never does because
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: he's not there. Throughout the battle, they take heavy losses.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: At one point, Demon Dred's forces also assault the shan
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Shansk encampment. They the ay Ood traveled directly into the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: center of the camp and start massacring the reserves before
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the Demane are able to fight them off. It's during
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that it was during this meeting that it was before
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: this encounter that Matt was coming up with new strategies.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Men herself was sent to deliver order to deliver messages
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: from Elaine, and she notices with Men's viewings. She notices
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: that several of the shan Chan have like viewings on them,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: like images above them, and she mentions it to Matt
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and this catches Fortuona's attention and she immediately recognizes that
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Men is what the shan Shan call call a doom seer.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: So I've mentioned before how touon herself or now, Fortuona
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: has a big thing for omens. She's often looking at
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: looking out for signs and omens and things like that. Well,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: as it turns out, this comes from the fact that
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the shan Chan have had several doom doom seers in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: their culture's history. So doom seers can see can see
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the future through omens, so they see images and viewings
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and and oftentimes doom seers are used by the by
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the Imperial family to as as their truthsayers, so they
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: speak so the truth sayers and the shaun Chan nobility
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: they can spa basically speak their minds whenever they want
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: to the to the Empress themselves or even and to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: her royal family, and not worry about taking not worrying
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: about suffering any kind of like repercussions because you know
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: how like royalty like royals are, you speak out, speak
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the wrong thing to them, and they'll like cut off
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: your head for insulting them. Well, truth sayers are are
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: exam from that. Their very purpose is to call out
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the royal family for any time they make a stupid
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: they make a stupid decision. So immediately Fortuana seizes men
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and makes her her new truthsayer, as well as announces
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: her as the doom Seer, and the shaun Jean immediately
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: began to like they're basically almost worship men, and while
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Min is not entirely happy with this, she kind of
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: she kind of rolls with it. And in this meeting,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: while they're meeting h with each other and Matt's trying
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to come up with new strategies. Unfortunately, the IYAD attack,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and uh, they end up killing a lot of the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: They end up killing a lot of the Sean Sean
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Suan who had been escorting who had been escorting men.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: She tries to go. She tries to step in to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: help save Matt and the Empress. Unfortunately, Suan is killed
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: in the crossfire. Ladies. So, Devin, you good, I have
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: none a new song? All right?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Sorry, continue, don't give me that look.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am good, Okay, okay, okay, I'm just like
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: noticing your lack of reaction to the fact that Suon died.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: There we go. That was the reaction I was looking for.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: So dead like dead dead.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: As in deceased, like don't quote me on this fellaws,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: but I think this one is deceased. Unfortunately, So when
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the when the IAD attacked the Sean Shawn encampment, Suon
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: tried to step in to save not only men but
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Matt and the Empress. Unfortunately she she is killed in
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the crossfire, and by extension, Gareth Brynne dies as well.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Whenever a warder, whenever a isid Eye dies, the warder
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: that they were bonded to, he doesn't die necessarily, just
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: croaks like like, oh no, my isid I is dead. No, uh,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: there's still but they felt her. They'll feel their eyes
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: toize death and this drives them insane and cause it
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: causes them to to become very aggressive, lose all form
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: of self restraint, and uh become very reckless. In fact,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the battlefield, where Gareth brnn
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: was still he was still in the fight, he was
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: just no longer giving orders. He was in He was
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: riding along some alongside some of Elaine's forces when he
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: suddenly just loses it and charges into the into the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: line of Trollix where he is where he is butchered
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: almost immediately. So Suan Sanche, the former Amberline Queen Emmeerlind queen. Well,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: when you think about it, the Amberline seat is a queen,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: but the former Amberlin seat is now dead.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: That's some bullshit, yep.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: The thing is is that while the thing is that
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Fortune doesn't exactly take this attack lightly, and she begins
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to question her alliance with the others, and Matt tells
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: her decide. Matt realizes that the only reason why the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Iyad attacked them like this is because they knew that
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: they were vulnerable. There no somehow, the somehow the enemy
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: is getting information from from inside.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: There's a trader effect.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, spoiler alert. That trader is Mogedion. Yeah, Mogedian's.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Mogedion had infiltrated and disguised herself as an attendant inside
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the Shaun Shan's camp and she's all but she disguised
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: herself cleverly as one of the uh as one of
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the attendants in the Empress's tent. So while Matt is
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: giving out orders, the Empress is just sitting there watching
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: him like mmm, yes, that's my yes, good toy. Like
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: she's just watching him because like, see, he's he is
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: now officially the royal consort of the Empress, so he
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: has a very high position and it's one of the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: very few people that can actually address the Empress directly,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: so she keeps us she keeps a sharp eye on
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: him and the thing is is that Matt, without telling
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: her directly that there's a trader, he kind of like
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: he tells her. He basically kind of mouths off to her,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and she she gets the hint there's a trader. So
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: she orders her forces to withdraw, leaving the ice at
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Eye and the other and the other forces to fend
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: for themselves. But this was only temporary. Matt stays behind
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and continues to give orders. Eventually, Uh. Eventually they're able
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to root out, root out m'geei and from their from
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: their encampment men who decided to stay with the Shan
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: shan Uh. She's trying to convince them to go back
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and rejoin the fight because they've at this point, they've
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: completely withdrawn, and while she's in middle convincing them, she
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: realizes that, wait a second, the reason why they pulled
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: out is because they because Matt believed there's a trader.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: What if this trader is a channeler and she knows
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: with men her foresight allows her to see. She's able
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: to tell if somebody is a channeler because while she
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't always see viewing around them, she always sees these
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: strange little motes of light surrounding them so aside from
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: looking at the demane, she looks at some of the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: attendants that are in the tent with Fortuana, and she
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: notices one of them, a rather unassuming attendant, has like
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: a bunch of motes of light surrounding her, and she
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: realizes this must be the spy, because the Shan Shan
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: would never allow a channeler to be among them. While
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: she so, while the Empress is giving out her proclamations
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: that they will they'll just simply retreat back to their
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: territory and make their stand, and there men makes a
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: show of calling out the Empress, to calling her at
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: full telling her like you were wrong, et cetera, et cetera.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: And while everyone's so engrossed with her little, her little
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: like just just her little roast, like her little show
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: of the roast of the Empress of the Sean Sean,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: she immediately whips out a knife and throws it at
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the attendant. But before the knife hits the attendant, it
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: freezes mid air, and everyone in the attends like like gasp.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: The guess and Mogedian, who had disguised herself, looked annoyed,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and she's like, ah fuck, And she immediately opens a
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: gateway and escapes before the Demonic can catch her. Like
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: peace I Bitch is like peace out, and men and
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the and the Empress revealed that they knew there was
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: a spy amongst them and then need to weed that
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: spy out before they could rejoin the fight. Fortuna immediately
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: orders that therefore the shaun Chans who rejoin the fight.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: In the interim, the other the other leaders. The other
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: leaders were trying to figure out a way to break
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the Trolleic and Sharn forces. They know the only the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: best option is to go for Demon Dread, But Demon
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Dred has has surrounded himself with an with an army
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: of like hundreds of his of his Sharn foot soldiers
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and ayad. And while they're debating, While the leaders are
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: debating the best course of action to take to to
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: take them off the field, Igwainne's warder and Elaine's brother,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Gawin Tracan, comes up with his own plan. So when
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: he when Gwen and Igwayine had escaped from the from
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the camp when the when the Sharons had attacked, Gowen
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: had scouted ahead to find the best way to escape,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: but when he did, he had put on one of
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the one of the tarangriol rings that he had taken
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: from the from the shan Shan assassins. They were called
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: uh I believe they're called death knives or and it's onportant.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: The shan Chan had their uh uh the shan Shan
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: there's they have special assassins that use tarangreol that are
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: in the form of rings. These rings, when they put
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: them on, makes them. It gives them the ability to
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: hide in the shadow, so they are almost completely unseen.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: And even if they're not in like complete darkness, you
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: can't really focus on them directly m hm, you can't
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: really focus on them directly. So there makes them very fierce,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: fearsome assassins. So the problem is is that Gowen found
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: out from he found found out from Ilwin that those
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: tarangrial are deadly. When you wear them, that's it you have.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: You will it will slowly drain your life force and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: you will die. So when Gowen first put he put
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: one on in the Escape from the Old I said
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: eye camp. And now his health has been slowly declining
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and he's he started using the rings several times. He's
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: used the rings several times throughout the battle, and his
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: health is slowly starting to deterior deteriorate. But and while
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Igwayne has noticed, she's been too focused on leading the
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: leading her forces to actually really like express any concerns
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: over Gowan. Though she had, she did tell herself she
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: may need to pull him from the battle and send
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: him UH and send him to the hospital, to the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: wartime hospital back in uh Maim is he getting is
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: he too distracting? Gowan is now he knows that he's
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: about to die, so he decides that if he's going
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to die, he's going he's gonna might as well try
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: a shot at taking out Demon Dread. So putting on
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: the UH, putting on the death the death knife rings,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: he immediately becomes shadowed UH. He immediately becomes UH concealed,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and he manages to sneak his way behind enemy lines
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: and get close to Demondred. While Demon Dread has been
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: giving out orders, UH Logan himself has also given out
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: orders to kill any to his own forces, to kill
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: any male channelers, So any UH shaman that are not
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: associated with his a shaman needs to be killed immediately,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: and UH several of his own forces have actually managed
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: to infiltrate the Sharn line. Behind Sharn lines, Androl and
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Pravara had disguised themselves had disguised themselves as enemy dread
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Lords while they were searching for tay In because the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: main their main goal is to find Masrm tay And and
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: take him off the board. Uh. But because of their disguises,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: they get brought before Demondred, who gives them orders to
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: find uh to go support Tayaim who is on the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: other side of the battlefield. So they're like, okay, cool cool,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: mister Demon Dred sir or And just after, right after
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: they leave, Gowen manages to sneak close uh, manages to
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: sneak close to Demondred. Demon Dreds back was turned. Gowen,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: being completely shrouded, was able to slip past all of
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: his uh all of Demon Dred's forces, and he manages
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: to tackle Demon Dread to the ground uh because Demondred
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: was sitting on his horse. But he manages to tackle
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: him and get him off the ground. But Demondred somehow
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: sensed him coming, not entirely sure how he wasn't not
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really say how he sendsed him, but Demondred
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: rounds on him before he gets tackled to the ground
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the two he quickly uh. He quickly collects himself and
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the two engaged in a brutal fight. Gowen, who is
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: who is by his own right a blades master, realizes
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: he is completely outmatched by Demondred. Demondred doesn't even use
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the power to fight him, he just fights him using
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: just his own sword, and Demondred quickly proves to be
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: an insane duellist. He's pairing, he's countering every move, almost
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: like it's lazy, and until eventually Demondred gets the better
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: of him and stabs Gowen. Okay, so Gwen, using the
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: blood the Troangrieil rings to conceal himself, sneaks behind enemy
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: lines and manages to get close to Demondred, but Demondred
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: notices notice him approaching, but Gwen was able to tackle
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: him off of this fort and the two of them
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: immediately begin their fight. Now, Gwen thinks that he had
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the advantage because he still concealed using the rings. But
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: for some reason mm hmm, Lucas just texted me. He
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: said the tracking from EPs said that his is gonna
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: appear today. Okay, whatever we gotta I gotta like close
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: this up. We got like an hour before I have
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: to go. Uh. So Gallen and Demon Dread immediately fight
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: begin uh spark. They begin their fight with their swords. Now,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Gallon is a sort is a blaze master in his
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: own right, but he immediately realizes that he is completely
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: outmatched by Demon Dread. Demon Dread is a master swordsman.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: He's easily somehow, even with uh the advantage of being unseen,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Demondre is able to counter and perry all of his attacks.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Like Gallen was not able to land a like land
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: a single hit, but he takes several wounds before Demon
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Dread slips in and stabs Gowan. This is a fatal
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: This was a fatal wound. Gwen was barely able to
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: escape since he was still concealed by the rings. He
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: was able to escape. He is later found by his
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: older brother Galad. Galad was given a copy of Matt's
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Fox said Tronreoal and he was given orders to kill
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: as many male Channelers as possible, but he ends up
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: finding his brother on the battlefield. Gwen, in his final
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: moments of life, tells Galad the truth about his heritage.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: As it turns out Gallad is Randall Thor's older brother,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: because both Galat and Rants shared the same mother, Ti Grain,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and while and Ti Grain had then to getting stories,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: she had left and Or and travel to the Aiel Waste,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: where she joins the spear Maidens, and she would later
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: return to the Westlands during the Ayel War, and then
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: she lived but where she would die at the base
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: of the Dragon Mount, giving birth to Ran. So Galad
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: now knows that he has that rand is his half brother,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: but that's the last thing that Gowan tells him, and
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: unfortunately Gwen dies. Galad, completely heartbroken over his brother's loss,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: charges through the enemy lines and challenge of Demon Dread
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: to a fight, and the two of them do you
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: go into a fight now? Demondred at first tries to
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: just like was like, I'm not, I'm not. I already
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: fought one. I don't I'm not going to fight another
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: and tries to kill Demon Demadrid tries to kill Galed
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: with his power, but since Galad had a copy of
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: the Fox and Medallion, his power does not touch him
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: and he's forced to fight yet again lose his sword,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: and now Galad proves to be just as skilled if
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: not slightly more skilled than his younger brother as a
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: sword fighter, but even Galid realizes quickly that Demon Dread
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: far out matches him m hm. And while their fight
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: was slightly was slightly lengthier, he unfortunately does he unfortunately
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: loses the fight as well. Demon Dread stabs and chops
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: off Galat's hand. Though Galad survives, he manages to make
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: a quick retreat and he is later brought to the
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: field hospital in Mai and he's now permanently out of
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the fight. Ah Igwayne unfortunately feel the death of her warder. Now,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I said I survive. I said I easily survived the
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: deaths of their warders, though it is heartbreaking and it
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: does oftentimes leave them crippled for a short period of time.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Mainly when an isidye loses their warder, they have a
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: hard time embracing the source, like they'll find that they
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: can't hold onto the source as easily as they used to. Now,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: of course, let's go the way after a few months
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: of rest and mourning. But in Igwaine's case, she doesn't
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: have that luxury. She's in the middle of the battlefield
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: when she senses Gallon's death and she immediately collapses. She's
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: taken back to the to the camp where she's taken
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: out of action. She later wakes up, and while she
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: is still heartbroken over her husband and warders death, she
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: she composes herself surprisingly like what with difficulty, but yet
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: surprisingly she they will to hold herself together. The person
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: that was that had carried her and stayed with her
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: back at camp was Leo Win, the former Sean Shawn
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: captain m HM, and Leo Win tells her that her
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: uh like tells her that she will fall, that she
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: will serve her and she will like she Leowin had
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: already given her given her word that she will serve
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the Isidy in any capacity, and Agwayne asked her how
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: like and what capacity would that be? How far are
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: you willing to go to serve the isid I and
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Leo Went takes a knee and she says, I'll do
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: whatever it takes, and Igwayne is like, cool, you're minute
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: water and immediately bonds Leo Winn as her warder and Igwayne,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: still armed with far As so Angreal, immediately rejoins the battle. Later,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Lan Lane, who has been leading his cavalry against the
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Sharines for some time learned that both Gallon and Gwen
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: had been taken down by Demon Dread and real like.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: At this point, Land is like, all right, we're not
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: good enough. That's enough. He immediately rides through enemy lines
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: and confronts Demon Dread directly. Land himself confronts Demon Dread directly,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: and let me tell you something, Land scared Demon Dread
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: actually did. He actually like took caught Demon Dread off guard.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Now Demondred has his own sense of honor. Before Land
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: confronts Demon Dread, Demon Dread had to withdraw shortly from
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: the battle UH. He had been using Sikarnin extensively as
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: well as the power of the Ayad. And the thing
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: about Sikarnan is that Sikarnin does not was not built
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: with a buffer. So Onrell and onreall as part of
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the UH. In order to make an effective one, they
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: need a special buffer. The buffers prevent the channeler from
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: drawing too much power from the Angrell and killing themselves
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: or burning themselves out. But in the Age of Legends,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm sorry, there's something in my eye. In
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the Age of Legends, eh, okay, I'm just gonna have
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: to ignore it. I'm sorry, God damn it. In the
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Age of Legends, especially during the collapse leading up to
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: the War of Power, the Ancient ICE's Eye began mass
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: producing Ariel and Aungril by the mother load, and unfortunately,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: especially with the Sangreal, they weren't They rush ordered these
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: things and they didn't properly build them with buffers. So
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: many of the sangreal that survived the Age of Legends
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: don't have buffers, making them extremely dangerous to use. Coalandor
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a buffer. The Children Call didn't have a buffer,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: and Sikarnin and Voris Sangreal also do not have buffers,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: meaning there is a there is an inherent risk of
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: using them. So if you draw too much power from them,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: you could either kill yourself or you could or you
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: could burn yourself out, which will completely cut you off
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: from the power, which in most people's opinion, that is
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: a fate worse than death.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: So, so Sikaranen, aside from not having a buffer, also
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: is also very taxing on the user. So Demon Dred
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: had to take a break and uh I had to
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: unfortunately had to force himself to take a break and
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: recuperate for some time and in the In the interim,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: he was approached by Tayan and he gave or Mahano
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: and Demondred was like, Hmmm, for the time being, I'm
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: gonna have to I'm gonna have to sit, sit things
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: out and just give orders for the sidelines. But here
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: he gets he gives times Carnin and he tells and
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: he tells Tim, well time, uh use bail fire as
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: much as possible, take this while you're at it, and
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: reek havoc. So Tayim joins the battle. For the most part,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: the Channelers have been fighting like a to a two
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: way battle, with the isid Eye and the Demane on
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: one side and the dread Lords and the Iad on
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the other. Taim goes to join them and begins raining
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: bailfire on their forces, and in the meantime, Demondred gets
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: assaulted by Land. Now Land did now this time? Demon
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Dread warns Land that I've already killed two of her
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: so called blades. Master might as well give up now,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: but Demon but Land doesn't just ignores him, ride straight
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: up to him, and they launches into attack into a
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: furious attack against Demon Dred. The two of them battle
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: back and forth, and Demon Dread is shot to find
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: that he's being pushed back, that Land is over here,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: matching him blow for blow and is even countering him
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: just as effectively as Demon Dread is countering Land. And
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: demon and Demondred is like who are you? And Lan
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: is just like I'm your death and the two of
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: them their fight does come to a quick end. Demon
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Dred does manage to stand uh deal a somewhat fatal
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: blow to Land. But Land but that was part of
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Land's strategy. He knew he couldn't just beat Demon Dread
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: in a fair fight, so he allowed himself to. He
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: allowed Demon Dred to pull to get in into his
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: guard and stab him. He maneuvered himself so he'll be
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: stabbed just at the right angle and then but before,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: But then Demon Dread realized, oh he made a mistake,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: because Land immediately drives his sword into Demon Dread, killing him.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: And oh yep, the Sharans as a result pull back
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: because they've lost their leader. Mm hmm, and Land is
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: he does manage to retreat. He survived. Thank god. I
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: would have been mad if Land, if all people, I
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: would have been mad if Land died. He's too much
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: of a boss. Like like no, like no.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: Don't take it from us, goal was one thing. Gallen
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: was another. Don't you take my boy, don't you take
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: the land from us?
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: I wish he's granted land survives, he's healed, and he's
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: able to rejoin the fight. On the other side of battlefield,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: there is a fearsome battle going on between the Channelers.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: The landscape itself is being torn apart with the dread
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Lords and Sharon's raining fire and bail fire down on
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: the forces of the Light and then you have the
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Demane and the isaid I furiously fighting them back. It's
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: a it's a literal uphill battle. Thegwayne rejoins the fight,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: and she is a fierce She is fierce. She is
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: slaughtering dread Lords and iod left and right, and she
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: has Leo Win with her. And Leo Win is a
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: fearsome fighter too, just as effective as Gawan was, if
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: not slightly bettered. Yeah, and at one point, uh Igwayne
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: notices that there's an even more power. There's a very
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: powerful dread Lord on the other on the other side,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: raining down bail fire left and right, and he's decimating
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: the Isidi and Demane. When she looks up. She sees
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: it's another than magic tyen wielding his own wielding the
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: carnon and channeling. It doesn't say, it doesn't exactly say
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: who was stronger in this fight, but in this fight
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: she but for what it's worth, she was able to
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: effectively fight. He immediately starts fighting him, encountering him. So
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: this fight now it comes down to two of the
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: strongest channelers on both sides, with a GWayne on with
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: the ambulan the literal ambulance seat fighting the new Forsake
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: in Mahael like. I can just see the the Mortal
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Kombat like.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that sounds lit And the thing is is
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: that Tim is mainly using bailfire.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: He's not using any other ways but bail fire, and
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Agwayne decides that she's going to use a new trick,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: that she's going to start using a new trick that
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: she came up with, so kind of we're gonna rewind
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: a bit. So before the best before the battle began
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: at marilor Igwayne had started noticing, as well as many
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: of the forces of the Light had started noticing that
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: these strange cracks began to appear in the earth around them.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: These cracks aren't like normal cracks in the ground. They
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: look like just pure shadows like breaks in the path.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: They were described as little as actual breaks in the pattern,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: like fractures in the pattern. Now, these cracks would appear
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: and they would last for like a minute or two
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: before fading into what looks like normal cracks in the ground.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: But if you look into one that freshly appears, it's
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: just pure darkness. All you see is pure darkness. And
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: when GWayne. When Agwayne first sees it, she examines one
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: of the cracks more directly, and realizing that there is
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: something she can do about it, she weaves together all
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: five of the powers and she actually manages to seal
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: one of the cracks and the crack. So she seals
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: the crack, the darkness disappear, disappears, and in its place
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: is like a strange growth of crystals. Now she believes
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: she discovered a new weave, and she later realizes that
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: this weave is the direct counter of bailfire, because up
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: until this point there is no counter for bailfire. Bailfire
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: is completely unblockable, unless, of course, you have a large
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: slab of of quendiar. Because quendyar is the only material
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: that is unaffected by by bellfire. But unfortunately, there is
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: no quendiar that is large enough that can block a
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: beam of bailfire. So yet, but.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Yet, she found a weave.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: She found a weave that, while it doesn't block bailfire,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: it directly counters it, so it basically neutralizes it. So
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: bailfire the way it works is that it actually burns
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: your threat from the pattern. So when it strikes you,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: while in that moment you may have disappeared in a
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: mode of light, you may have gotten disintegrated in that moment,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: the exact moment that you actually died actually happens in
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: the past. And depending on how strong the channeler was,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: most average chandlers bail fire you, uh if they shoot
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: bailfire at you, and most they can only burn you out,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: burn you out of the pattern going back a few days.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: But someone as powerful as Taye who's using a who's
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: using sakurnin, you could burn you out days if not
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: uh like weeks if not months from from the pattern.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: So and typically when this happens, everything you've done within
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: that timeframe is undone. Yeah, it changes literally it literally
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: changes the the effect you've had on time. So everything
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: you've directly and interacted with, every significant event or or
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: like action you've taken, is completely undone. So time will
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: literally change and shift around. And in the past bailfire,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: overuse of bailfire has caused the pattern to nearly break.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: So but Iguaine's new Agwayne's new weave, which she calls
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: the flame of Tarbaalaan, does the exact opposite mm hm.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: So rather than burning you out of the burning your
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: thread from the pattern, it fills in the gaps. Which
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: so just like bailfire, it's a stream, it's a beam
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: of light, but everything it's but everything it touches. Rather
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: than burning it from existence, it either transmutes it into
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: this crystalline substance or causes these crystals, these strange crystals
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: that are nearly indestructible, to appear. So the first time
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: she so when time directs bailfire directly at her, she
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: uses her new weave. And when the two when their
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: two beams collides bailfire, the bailfire immediately winks out and
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: has no effect on them, and Tanine is like completely
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: shocked and it's like, what the fuck just did that
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: just happen? But he was behooved, but Tanim was not
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: about to let uh was not about to let that
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: stop him, so he immediately shoots bailfire at her again,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: this time having a better handle of her new weave,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: she weaves it again and shoots the flame of Tarblawn
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: at him. Their two beams connect again, and it's a
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: bit of a there's a bit of a shoving match
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: between their beams, but Eva but herst overwhelms his and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: her wheat so her weave strikes Tiny completely turning him
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: into crystal. And the thing is at this point Igwayne.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: She had been operating on pure emotion and to turn
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: and just grit and pure pure emotion, and she realizes
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: that she over her. She overdid it with that last weave.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: So Tyine is dead, but so is she. She realized
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: that she's drawn too much power from from varas ungreoll
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: and excuse me from varasa ungreall, and she knows that
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: she releases the power she at worst she will either
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: die or she will be burned out, left completely powerless
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: and unable to touch the source ever again. So instead
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: of accepting her fate her fate, she turns to Leowyn,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: who had who had stood by her the entire time,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: tells her this is the end. I release you from
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: from your valves, and Leowin was like, what, No, Like,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: you can't just do that, but Agwaine doesn't give her
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: a choice. She immediately opens up a gateway, pushes leo
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Win through and undoes her water bond from leo Win,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: And before Leowin could get up and rush back through
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: the gateway, agwainne closes it. And then she turns back
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: to the to the encroaching forces of Iad and dread Lords,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: and with the power completely infused within her, she releases
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: it all. She releases all that power, weaving it into
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: another burst of the flame of Tarvalon, which I've taken
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: to calling at parthfire. Honestly, it makes I like calling
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: it partfire because flame of Tarvlon. That's a bit of
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: a mouthful, but yeah, Anyway, he releases another blast of
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: of Tarvalon's flame and her force, like her own forces,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: the Demanay and the ice I, they had managed to
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: retreat from the battle, but the Eyd and the dread
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Lords didn't have that, didn't quite get that chance, and
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: they are immediately enveloped by her. Her released weave. She
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: releases a massive blast. It appears in a pi pillar
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: of light, turns everything around her into crystal. And all
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: that's left is just a massive pillar of crystal.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Like half of the heights that they that they had
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: been fighting on got turned into crystal. Uh. Most of
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: the Iyod and the dread Lords were were killed by
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: this blast. And all that's left is this pillar of crystal,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: and the and the heights begin to collapse. Now I
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: do want to RELI I just I was gonna I
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: was gonna get back to Logan because Logane was gonna
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: show up too. Before Land had taken out Demon Dread,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Logane had also tried to fight him. Uh. And the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: thing is, Logane in terms of power is as powerful
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: as Demon Dread in terms of base power. But Demondred
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: had having Siicarnin and Uh earlier he had he still
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: had Scarnin, and he still was linked to the other Iyad.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: He easily wipes the floor with Logan and Logan is
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: barely able to escape. Now, Logan decides to instead focus
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: his efforts on finding Tayin and taking him down. But
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: after Iguaine's sacrifice, Uh, she was able to kill him,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: and he realizes he had realized that Tayen had Scarnin,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: so he goes so. He later go approaches the place
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: where uh Tyine had died. He sees the pillar of
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: crystal and notices that while Igwaine herself is not seen
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: inside the crystal, they can see Varasangril inside of it
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: and they He approaches the the popsicle that is now
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: u that was once Tyan and sees that Sikarnin is
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: trapped inside the crystal as well, and Logaan tries to
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: get the tries to get it to take its power
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: for himself and to turn the tide because now the
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: trolks are being routed are are slowly being routed the
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: the the Iyad have been mostly wiped out by Igwayne
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: and the Sharons are now in full retreat. Damn, so
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: he tries to take the take it for himself, but
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: he realizes the only way he can get to it
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: is if he uses bailfire. But before he could take it,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: he gets word from his allies that the trolks are
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: attacking a are attacking some ruins nearby where several refugees
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: and wounded have been taken. So and so faced with
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: this conundrum, Tan decides to abandon his search for Uh,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: decides to abandon his efforts to take siicarn In for
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: himself and immediately takes as a shaman and goes to
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: help the refugees. And there and he does it, and
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: he is able to rescue the refugees. Now, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: this is where the battle is slowly coming to an end.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: After Demon Dread's death at the hand of land Molgeian
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: returned and tried to take tries to take command of
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: the Sharons. She does this by disguising herself as Demon Dread,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: but the Sharans are a little bit skeptical because they
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: many of them had witnessed Demon Dread's death. And while
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: she's trying she's in the middle of trying to convince them,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: her efforts are thwarted when a gateway opens up behind him,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: and when she turns around, like what like what the deuce?
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: M Yeah, like like huh. On the other side of
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: the gateway, she notices is a cave like a cavern
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: of some kind, and inside the cavern are a bunch
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: of dragons. So the so the dragons that Elaine had
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: cast had rescued. There was only about two or three
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: left that survived. She Matt had come up with a
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: clever uh, he had come up with a clever strategy.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: They hid. They hid the dragons in some caves that
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: are directly underneath the heights, and they using the Ashaman
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: and the and the kin, they would have opened gateways
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: random points on the battlefield and start firing off the
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: cannons into directly into enemy lines. So they would open
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: up the gate fire off some open fire, close gateways,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: reopen them at another position, fire again. So this has
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: been happening all over the battlefield. But as soon as Dread, Yeah,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: so as soon as Demon Dread and Tayim had been
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: taken out, they immediately started opening gateways into the Sharons
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: battle lines. And Mulgamion turns around just in time to
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: see them open up open fire on the sharp and
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: is completely routing them. Damn forcing and Mogeian survives, but
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: she is she escapes as she does because she's a
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: coward of course. So the Sharans and the trolks have
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: been routed, but there's still thousands of them, and now
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: at this point it is just clean up. But the
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: thing is that they're still at risk of being overrun
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: by the Trolks, by the Trolok and Sharons. Now earlier
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: in the last up, later in the last episode, I
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: mentioned that Fayel and Olver had had managed to have
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: gotten themselves behind enemy lines by mistake. Now the thing
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: is the two of them were still carrying the Horn
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: of the Leer and they were desperately trying to get
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: it to Matt because right now Matt is the only
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: person that can use it, since he was the last
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: person to use the horn. Unfortunately, so Fayl herself tries
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: to lead the trolic forces away from Olver, and Olver
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: had tried to get the Horn of the Lyer to Matt,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: but he gets cornered, and he gets cornered by the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Trolocks and he is forced to hide in a crevice
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: in the heights itself, and the Tralocks are desperately trying
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: to get to him, and Over in desperation, blows the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: Horn of the Leer, hoping that the sound from the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: horn will at least draw the draw the force of
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: the light to him. Now the thing is that the
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: golden peel that is released from the Horn of the
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Leer is heard by the entire battlefield and the force
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: of the light. No, it's coming from behind enemy lines.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: And they are immediately filled with dread because they're like,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: oh shit, the enemy has blowing the horn of the leer. Yeah.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: And the thing is that the enemy blows the horn
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: of a leer. That means that either Matt is dead.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: And that also means that the that the spirits of
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the of the heroes because it summons this. So what
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: the horn of the layer does that it summons the
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: spirits of history's greatest heroes. Right, these heroes are actually
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: spirits that have that are like cornerstones. They play a
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: key role in the pattern itself, and the wheel of
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: time often weaves will continuously weave their spirits back into
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: the pattern repeatedly, so they're constantly being reincarnated. These guys,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: their spirits. When they're reincarnated, they they have a major
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: role within the pattern. And when they hear this, they think,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: oh shit, the enemy has the horn of the leer.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: But that's not the case. The spirits of this, of this,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: the spirits of the heroes do reappear, but they're not
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: fighting for the But they're not fighting for the Trolics
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: or the dark. They're fighting for the Light, and Oliver
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: is the Herald. So, as it turns out, when Matt so,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: Matt technically died when he made his original deal with
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: the ale Fin. So this was back in Rudy and
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: book four when after he made his deal, he foolishly
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: forgot to tell his he foolishly forgot to negotiate for
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: uh away out of the Eelfin's realm. So they gave
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: him what he asked for, but they hung him as
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: a result from the from the Tree of Life, and
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: he had technically died before Wren had saved him and
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: resuscitated him, so he was no law So this entire time,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: he was no longer bound to the Horn of the League,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: so that meant anybody could blow the horn, and when
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: overblown blew it. He was able to summon the Heroes
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: of the Dead, and together their forces were able to
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: overrun the Trolks. Now, just to rewind a bit, just
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: before now, just before the horn was blown, Elaine's forces
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: were slowly being overrun and at one point they get
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: attacked by several Dark friends that they didn't before, but
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Elaine was able to fight them off. But in the process. Uh, well,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Elaine wasn't was having a hard time fighting
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: them off. Her forces get completely routed, So what remains
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: of the Andorans get completely routed and scattered, and her
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: order Burgit was killed. So when Burgette spirit reappears, she's
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: now in her full urgent silver arrow, the hero, the archer,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: She's in full her full attire. She immediately rushes back
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: to Ain to Elaine and saves her and together they
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: together they managed to rally the other and Dooran men
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: to her. And it's funny because Elaine she gets this
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: idea to grab a sword and start fighting with her
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: with her sword. And the thing is she's she's so
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: she's riding on her she's on horseback. She's riding up
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: and down the trollic ranks like hacking and slashing, and
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: bridget later like asked her, why did you do that?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: That was so reckless? Like well, she the well, once
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: I needed the end door, I need the other and
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: Doorans and Kyrine Kyriene and to be that their queen
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: is fighting on their behalf and so I can expire them.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: She and bridges like bird just like, were you sure
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: that was gonna are you really sure that was gonna work?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: And Eline was like, well, it was either they'd either
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: see me and immediately become filled with the spirit the
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: countryman spirits seeing their queen fighting with them, or they
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: would see that I would that I clearly don't know
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: how to use his sword, and immediately come to my defense.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: Either way, they would have seen her with a sword
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: and immediately think, oh, ship, the queen has a sword.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Quick help her, help her. She's gonna die like somebody.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Somebody saw her. She hadn't know what she's doing. So
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: the ands and the Kyrine is under her under her command,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: immediately rally and they pushed back alongside the the heroes
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: of the Horn of Valier Matt uh He Matt immediately
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: goes to where he heard the Horn of Valiers sounding
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: from and finds over the two. He manages to get
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: over safety and he starts giving the two of them
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: start giving commands over of course, giving uh letting Matt
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: take command of the of the heroes of the Leier
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: m hm and the battle is all but one. So
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: the battle is all but one that now we're gonna
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: slowly come bring This battle is slowly coming to an end.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Matt begins reorganizing his forces and saying, they got one
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: last assault to fight, and that is at Child Goal
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: because they're probably because back at child Goal they're not
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: Things are not looking pretty for them.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: But before we go back to Child Goal, Logan who
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: who had been given charge of the seals, mm hmm,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: he had. He had just rescued the rest of the refugees,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: many of us whom were too often the tinkers. They
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: had joined the battle. They had joined the battle in
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: the fighting capacity, but rather in a capacity to find
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: survivors on the battlefield and take them back to get healed. Uh.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: He had just rescued them. The people were He realized
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: that he had learned of men's viewing of him, that
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: he would one day be He would attain uh, he
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: would attain some form of glory. And he realizes that
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: that glory wasn't from obtaining massive amounts of power like
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: he was trying to do, but rather by turning people's
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: opinion of male channelers. Because the asham he led the
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: a shaman to rescue these people, these refugees, they all
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: looked to them like heroes. And he realized this was
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: the glory that he was meant to find. And in
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: the distance he sees a bright light. Now this light
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't coming from the pillar that of Agueen's death that happened,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: that had already happened, but this was coming far to
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: the north, brilliant pillar of light. And he realizes is
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: that he realizes it was at that moment that he
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: needed to break the seals. So he does. Reaching into
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: his pocket, he pulls out each the last three seals
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: and one by one breaks them. And now we're going
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: to go back to the battle of Chiogoal. Now this
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: battle is not as lengthy as the other one, as
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: the other one without Root that's rolled Yaiyel captains and
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: other and the other of the dragon Sworn had to
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: basically fend for themselves. And they were slowly being pushed
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: back to the mouth of Chilegal. They're being completely overrun
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: by trollicks, the child forces mm hmm. And they were
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: also being overrun by dark hounds or shadow hounds. These
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: shadow hounds are a form of shadow spawn that are
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: almost completely unkillable. They were created from the from the
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: spirits of wolves and turned into these dark, grotesque creatures.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Even if you were to chopped one's head off, it'll
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: immediately liquefy and reform itself into the full body. So
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: the only the easiest way to kill one is with
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: either with fire or with bailfire. You have to completely
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: destroy its body in order to kill it. And the
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Iel forces were being overrun. They're facing trollocks, they're facing Dracar,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: they're facing the Shadow, the Dark Hounds, and they're also
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: facing their own people. As I mentioned before, the Dark Uh.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: The Dark Forces had been capturing male ideal channelers every
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: time they were sent into the Blight because culture traditionally,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: the Iel will send their own forces, their their own
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: people into the blight. If they discovered that they have
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: the ability to channel, so rather than just genceling them
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: or killing them, they would the men would be allowed
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: to travel to the Blight where they can just fight
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: to They could just fight with honor to the death
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: using their power. But what had what the Dark had
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: been doing. They had been capturing these men and turning
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: them into dread boards. So the and the thing is
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: is that these dread boards would began having children of
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: their own, so their descendants became known as the Nest.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Sayin the nest Sayin were like basically a bastardization of
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: the Ael. They wore blood, they they wore crimson catosaurs uh,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: and they wore red veils instead of black, and instead
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: of veiling themselves when they're about to kill or while
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: they're in the fight, in the middle of a fight,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: they keep a veil on at all times, but only
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: unveil themselves, revealing sharp filed teeth. And they would only
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: reveal their their teeth their faces when they're about to
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: kill somebody. And most of these guys could channel, and
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: they were killed. They were deadly killers. So the wise
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: ones in the ay Eel and even some and even
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: some of the eyes to Ie that traveled there, we're
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: having a hard time fighting the Sayin and the thread Lords.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: And at one point they start realizing that their own
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: people are turning against them, and that's because Hesselam had
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: joined the fight as well. So the fight comes down.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: The fight against Hesselam had come down to several of
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: the Wise women, including pat Swain and Olivia. Olivia was
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: the is the Sho was the former Demani and she
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: is currently the most powerful female channeler on their side.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: She's even stronger than nineve like. In terms of power scale,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: Olivia was as powerful as uh Land, Fear and Samouraged,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: who were the strongest female forsaken. Now the thing is
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: is that had Slam she immediately started. She immediately started
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: placing other channelers under her compulsion and compelled them to
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: join her in a link. So with the with these
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: channelers under her control and linked together, she was top.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: She was bouncing all around the battlefield, compelling uh the
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: forces of the Light to fight each other, as well
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: as braining down fire and bail fire on the remaining forces.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: So she was spreading chaos left and right, and at
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: one point uh So Avienda, kat Swain, some of the
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: other wise ones and Olivia have been trying to pin
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: down and fight Hesslon, but she being linked together with
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: her with the other talents under compulsion, she was proving
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: to be too powerful for them, so Alvianda decides to
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: try to sneak up on her. At one point, Though
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: she does, she doesn't counter what she thought was one
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: of the insane who attimes her and she manages to
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: kill him, but she later realized But she later realizes
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: that the man she just killed was actually Ruald. Her
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: own plan chief Roll was under Hesslam's compulsion, so there
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: was nothing she could do for him, so she immediately
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: she tries to sneak up on Hesselon and the two
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: of them do fight momentarily, but unfortunately Hesselon unfortunately, their
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: fight results in an explosion that results in Avianda being crippled.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Her feet do get severely injured to the point where
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: it practically almost got They practically have blown off and
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Alvianda tries to open the gateway to escape, but Hesseelon
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: corners her and is and decides, like, you know what,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gona place you under compulsion too, gets you to kill,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: get you to cause them have it. But before Hesselm
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: can do that, like Hesseelm starts forming the compulsion weave,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Avianda decides to take a page out of her her
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: first sister's book, and she begins to peel apart the
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: weave of the gateway she just opened now when now, normally,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: whenever a channeler decides to turn off a weave to like,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: they just simply release the weave and it fades right now. If, however,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: if you systematically pull a weave apart, this can be
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: very deadly because this will either cause the weave to
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: either backfire or explode, and Elaine had done this several
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: books back, in the wake of the in the wake
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: of the Bowl of the Winds event. This was in
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: What Book Said No. Book eight, the beginning of book
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: eight and UH in order to escape the Sean Shan
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: and make sure that Sean Sean don't discover the weave
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: of traveling, Elaine had had peeled apart the leave that
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: created the gateway and it exploded violently. So Avianda decides,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna do the exact same thing,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: and she does. She pulls apart the weave and it explodes.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Now the explosion wasn't as big as Elaine's, but it
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: did just the It did just the job. It knocks
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: her and Hesselom off their feet and on their asses.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: And when Avienda turns to look at Hesselon, Hesselon, as
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: it turns out, has been placed under her own compulsion.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: So when she was forming a weave and the compulsion
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: weave and was gonna set throw it on Avienda UH,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: the explosion caused the UH the weave, her own compulsion weave,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: to backfire back into her own face and she ends
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: up getting put under her own compulsion. So now Heslam
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: is uh compelled to do anything that Avienda wants. Of course,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: so Avienda tells her to like immediately stop compelling the others,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: which she she obeys, and she notices. Avianda notices that
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: there's a strange mist appearing around the valley and this
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: mist is killing people. So, as it turns out, Padden
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Fane has appeared on the battlefield, and pad and Fane
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: excuse me, padd and Fane, with now having a more
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: mature form of the power of Shadarlo Goth or Mashadar,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: as the mis entity is called, has begun sumthing this
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: distensive entsity and it's killing the people left and right,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: both the forces of the Light and the trollet forces
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: mh and he has been slowly making his way to
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: the mouth of Chio Gold because he wants to try
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: to kill Rand. And before he gets there, Matt appears
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: because Matt in the interim Matt had led his forces
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: had decided to let lead reinforcements to Chio Goal and
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: Matt appears from the sky. He flew in through He
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: went through a gateway, but flew in on one of
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: the Seawan Shan's racket raking. He confront He confronts Mashadar directly,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: and the thing is he manages to disarm the Sharlo
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Goth knife from patent Thane and he manages to kill
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: pattent thing and destroy the knife permanently. This causes and
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: the thing is when he does this, he actually grabs
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: he uses Mashar's own knife to kill it, and this
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: causes the mist entity to disappear. And the myths had
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: been also transforming the corpses of dead products into slaves,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: so he had like like zombie. He had a zombie
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: horde with him as well. They immediately die. Ah Olver
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: was with him and and Oliver uses the Horn of
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: the Layer to summon the spirits of the dead heroes.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: But it does more than just uh summons their spirits
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: as well, it also summons the spirits of wolves. These
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: wolves are much bigger and much stronger than typical wolves
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: in them and with the with these spirits, with these
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: spirit wolves on their side, the spirit wolves immediately attack
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: the dark Hounds and it turn and as it turns out,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: the spirit wolves were able to also kill the shadow
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: Hounds like they're able to easily kill it and hurt
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: the shadow Hounds, I guess because since they're of a
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: similar nature, they're able to actually hurt and do more
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: harm to the to the shadow Hounds. Yeah, and for
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: the most part that and for the most part the
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: battle is almost won. Now we come to the final stretch.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: While everything has been happening, Rand has been engaging in
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: a strange mental fight against the Dark One. The Dark
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: One what he would do is what he's been trying
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: to do is break Rand's spirit in order to compel
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: him to do in order to take control of him
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: and also to finally break free of his prison and
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: destroy the pattern. Mm hmm. But Rand has a stronger
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: will and he's able to keep the Dark One at bay.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: And the Dark One what the Dark One had been
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: doing is he'd been bringing pulling Ran into these strange
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: illusions visions of different worlds, and he shows him, He
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: shows him like two different visions. He showed two of
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: the more prominent visions that the Dark One shows him
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: was the first one was what the Dark One shows him,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: a vision of the world that he plans on creating.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: But this world, this vision is based off of how
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: people believe what people believe the Dark One was going
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: to do, what he was going to how he was
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: going to remake the world. And what Rand saw was
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: a world where, yeah, everything is in darkness, the world
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: is dead or dying. There's blight. The blight has consumed
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: the entire world. And then, like his own friends had
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: been turned into dread Lord's ninive, especially.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 5: The Source had been completely like corrupted, like now where
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 5: before the corruption was just like a thin layer of
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 5: oil over the team, over the over the Source.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Now it's like just this just it's no longer a
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: thin layer. It's just like this thick, corruptive layer completely
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: enshrouding the Source. And Rand is horrified, but immediately counters
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: the Dark One with a vision of his own. Because
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: the because the two of them are now connected to
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: the pattern directly, he's able to reshape the pattern to
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: show him a possibility, to show they're showing each other
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: possible worlds, and Rand shows him that this is the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: world he wants to build, and it's a world where
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: the Dark One is gone, like where he's dead. Like
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Rand wants to kill the Dark One, but Rand realizes
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: that his own the world he plans on remake on
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: making is in itself dangerous because without the as it
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: turns out, without the Dark One, there will be no
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: such thing as free will. So like the world that
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: he that he envisioned without the Dark One is completely docile.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: There's no war, no violence. But the people there are
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: some for some reason, are very odd, like the concept
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: of violence and warfare are defending themselves is just completely foreign,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: and it seems like it just seems like there is
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: no such like free will has been completely removed. And
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: the Dark One, and the Dark One like laughs at him,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: encounters with another vision of his own, saying like you
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: cannot this, saying like this, like this is the real
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: world that I plan on making. The first one was
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: just was just the world that your that your kind
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: fears that I will make. But this is more of
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna make. And in the world that the
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: Dark One shows, and it's a world where basically morality
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: has been completely flipped. So morally speaking, you would write,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: you would want to do the right thing and not
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: choose violence. But in the dark On the world the
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: Dark One wants to make, it's the exact opposite. You
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: want to choose violence, so it looks normal like it mean,
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: there's life, there's prosperity, but people choose violence. Where they
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: would choose the things that is the exact opposite of
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: they choose the exact opposite of morality. So while it
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't look too much different, while it doesn't look too
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: much different from the world the way it is now,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: the main difference is that compassion, mercy, all things that
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: are good are now seen as evil, immoral. So it's
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: been a completely it's a moral morally flipped subject. So
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: Rand he's starting to lose faith, He's starting to lose
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: hope because of because they both are using the pattern
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: to show like to try to like break each other's will.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: But RND is realizing that he needs to approach this differently.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: The world he envisions without the Dark One will essentially
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: the world of free will. Without the dark One, without
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: there being the immoral choice the bad choices, there will
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: be no free will, and that of itself is evil. Yeah,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: So Rand manages to pull himself out of the Dark Ones,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: h out of the Dark One's visions. He pulls himself out,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: and he really and he re engages his fight with Morden,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: but Mordan manages to disarm him and take Kalandor for himself.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: Morodan thinking like haha, victory is mine, he realizes that
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: Kalandor is somehow a is also a hungreill that allows
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: him to channel the true power, which has never been
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: seen before. So somehow Kalandor was designed to be allowed
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: to also be a hungreill for the true power, and
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: Mordan immediately tries to starts using it to channel more
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: power from the dark One. But it's a trap. It
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: was a carefully laid trap by Rand. Rand realized that
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: the main weakness of Coalandor was that while using it,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: somebody can initiate a link with him and take over
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: and take control of his power. So that was a
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: huge that was a major flaw and like the only
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: workaround through it was that in order to properly use Coalandor,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: the person wheelding Colandor needs to be included with a
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: within a link of two other channelers, mainly two other
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: female channelers, with one of the female channelers leading the link.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: But this link can be initiated against his will. So
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: when as soon as Morden immediately starts channeling through Coalandor,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: Ran shouts now Moraine and Ninive, who at this point
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: have been sitting by and watching they they create a
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: link with each other and immediately seize control of Morgan's
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: power through Colandor, and after seizing its power, they immediately
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: link with Rand, giving giving him control of the link.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Rans now realizing that he's faced with a choice. He
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: can either kill the Dark One right now and reseal
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: the Boar completely, or he could just simply seal away
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: the Dark One again, permanently and forever, and he chooses, Thankfully,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: he chooses the latter. He used so he realized the
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: mistake that that Luce Daron had made. Louise Darron had
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: had placed the seal the original seals on the Dark
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: One's prison without help, well, first of all without help
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: from the female half of the Source, and without some
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: kind of buffer between him and the Dark One, because
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: as soon as he initiated the seal, the Dark One
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: was able to pour his darkness through, threw loose Thearin,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: and corrupted the Source, which led to three thousand years
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: of madness where male channelers will go mad from touching
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: the Source. But now Rand has both the male and
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: female halfs the Source and the true power on his side.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: So with the True Power acting as a buffer, he
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: weaves not just the four, not just the five powers
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: of fire, earth, water, air, and spirit. But as it
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: turns out, the pattern has more threads of power, but
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: we're just able. But the heat, they were typically only
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: able to touch five of them. But with the but
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: with colendor and all that, and at this like nexus
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: of the pattern, he was able to seize every conceivable
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: thread of power there was out there, wove it together
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: and then using the and using the True Power as
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: a buffer, he he doesn't just reseal the bore, sealing
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: away the dark One, the boar that allowed the dark
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: ones to come through, but he remakes the pattern completely,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: makes it anew so there's no seals, there's no quendiar
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: seals that could be broken. In three thousand years, the
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: pattern itself has been completely has been completely repaired, and
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: the Dark One is permanently sealed away for good, or
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: least until the least until the wheel of time durns
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: one full sweep and history repeats itself. Yeah, that's not
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: gonna happen for millions of years, hopefully, Uh yeah, hopefully.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, the amount of power that
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: Rand was using UH does pause him to die die
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: o his power, his body having been weakened by the
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: wounds that never heals. He's UH. He is rendered unconscious
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: and is slowly and he is unfortunately dying. No matter
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: what Nine tries, She's unable to save him. His life
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: force is slowly slipping away. But they also noticed that
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Morgan is some It's still alive, but has been rendered catatonic.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: So they take him and they take his They take
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: him and they take his UH, and they take Rand's
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: body back out into the valley and they see that
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: as a direct result of the dark one Bee sealed away.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: Every shadow creature died, the Blight vanished from the surrounding
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: forests outside of child Goal frolics everywhere, just drop dead,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: drag par drop dead, the shadow hounds dead. And all
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: that was left were the dread Lords and the what
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: any remaining dread Lords or shadow or dark friends. They
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: were the only ones that were left. And the final
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: battle is over, and the final battle is over. The
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: forces of the Light have won. Now, there were some
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: other battles that had gone on during this After Peron
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: recovered somewhat from his injuries, he discovered that he can
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: now physically enter the dream world, and he immediately goes
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: back into the dream world and confronts the Slayer one
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: more time, this time utilizing his full power, and he
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: successfully manages to kill the Slayer, so he protects so
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: he finishes his fight in the shadow realm. He rescues Gaul,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: who had been in the who had been in the
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: dream world the entire time because when Perrin had got injured,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: he was forced to retreat back to the real world,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: which had unlocked his ability to enter the dream world physically,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: and Gaul was unfortunately still at the mouth of style
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: Gul in the dream world, but for him, not much
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: time had passed. He had been he had been carefully
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: defending it from any like any outside forces, but he
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: was able to return them both back to the real world.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: Parent immediately goes back to the field of Marillre to
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: try to find fail He does find her. She was
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: severely injured, but she was alive, and he weeps with
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: He weeps with roy at finding her just no, I
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: will say, just. After he defeats Slayer, Sindane does appear
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: again because Sindane had been appearing to him and trying
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: to manipulate him the entire time that he'd been in
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: the dream world, but he does. At first, he doesn't
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: listen to her, he doesn't really give her much thought.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: But after killing Slayers, she reappears and she places him
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: under a compulsion, and she was going to use him
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: to one kill Rand and two sees control while she
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: was gonna have him kill Rand while she seizes control
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: of the true power for Morden using Klandor basically, she
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: was basically going to try to take control of the
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: of that circle and use it to take control of
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: the Dark One's power permanently, making putting herself over him.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: But the thing is is that she underestimated parents will
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: and even though she had put him under compulsion, he
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: manages to shake it off and when her back was turned,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: he snaps her neck. Yep, so she did. Back at
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: the field of Marillre the Ayad, the Sharans had retreated
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: back to Shara through the using the Iyads Hut, using
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: the Iyads gateway and leaving Mogedi in sitting there just
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: like great she could sense. She sensed it immediately when
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: the Dark One had uh had been resealed, and of
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: course she saw the aftermath for a brief moment after
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Demondred had been killed. She had been given full access
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: to the true power, and she was gonna she was
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: gonna use it. But she got caught off, but she
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: got out maneuvered, And now the Dark One has been
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: has been fully sealed away, and she knows all the
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: only power she has is what power she had from
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: the source, from just her normal power. But she thought, well, okay,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: well might as well make make the best use of it.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: And she was now that the Dark One is gone,
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: she's she's a pretty woman. No one's no one to
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: control her, no one to boss her around. She was
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: gonna try to start uh, she was gonna like she
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: was planning on rallying the dark all the all the
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: Dark friends under her control and try to take over
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: the world seeming handedly. But before she can get any
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: further from behind her, she hears a clink and a snap,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: and she feels a piece of metal placed around her
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: neck and she turns around and she sees a soul down. Yeah,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: so the sole doown was like, we may not be
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: able to collar the Marath demoname uh from the ice
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: of the Isidie, but you don't look like an Isidye
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: you're over here skulking about, hiding behind like like you're
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: up to no good. You're free game. Damn. So she
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: got got got, she got got got. So as of
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: now there are only two forsaken left, Heslam and mogedi In.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: But Hesselam I believe she ends up getting executed because
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: they're not just gonna leave her a lot, and Mogedian
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: is now a demane of the Shaan Sean again. This
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: is in the first time she got collared, though this
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: time it's going to be even less pleasant.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: That's like in the after that of the battle, The
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: forces of Light gather at child Goal, which has surprisingly
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: turned into a lush paradise. Grass has been They had
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: been desolate and barren before, but now life has returned
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: almost seemingly, like seemingly just out of nowhere. Trees are growing,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: grass and plants are quickly overtaking the bodies of the
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: dead trolls and unfortunately, the aid I announced mainly Elaine, Elaine,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: men and Avienda. They gather around around Rand's body and
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: they later announced that he had passed. Yeah, and not
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: long later that night, a funeral Pyres built brand and
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: before the free People's the forces of light, the ice
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: ad Eye, and all the other allies. His body is premated.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: Now people knew that Rand had taken Aveanda, Elaine and
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: men as his consorts, but for some reason, they a
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: lot many of them realize that none of them are
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: showing any kind of real remote remorse. They're they're not crying,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: they don't look like very concerned. They quickly organize his funeral,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: and then from there they go their separate ways. But
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the funal, while everyone's distracted by
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: the funeral, back in Rand's tent where where his body
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: had been kept, Morgan's body gets up and after the
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: man that was once moreed in looks himself in the
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: mirror and realizing that while this body had pretty much
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: the same proportions as his old one, it's not much changed.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: Other than like physical appearance and his hair color, he's
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: pretty much the same man. The man sees that there
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: have been some clothes and some pouches of money left
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: for him. He immediately dresses, takes up his sword, and
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: goes outside and finds that his horse had been ready
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: for him. He gets on his horse and he starts
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: to ride out of the valley, heading south, and before
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: he leaves, he looks back towards the funeral and he
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: sees that his three lovers were all staring back towards him,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: and Randall Thor, now his spirit, now inhabiting the body
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: that once belonged to Morden, leaves child gull. He no
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: longer has access to the True Power or the One Power,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: but even his diverendabilities have disappeared, but he notices he
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: still is able to do a few tricks. He pulls
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: out his pipe, fills it with some good two rivers
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: to back Flick, snaps his finger and lights it, and
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Ran all four goes to start his new life. So
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: what had happened was is that Rand's and Mordan had
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: this strange connection with each other. They could they were
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: able to sense each other, and through and through this connection,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: Ran was able to access the True Power from Morden.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: But upon the Dark Ones defeat, Morodin was cut off
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: from the True Power, and basically being cut off from
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: the True power power is even worse than being cut
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: off in the One Power, and he immediately goes pretty
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: much dies, but their spirits end up switching places. So
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: just before Rand's body died, his spirit used through the
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: connection with Morden, switches over to Mordan's body while spirit
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: then Morden died, yep, Mordan's spirit It's transferred into Rand's body.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: But since Rand's body was already dying, it was more
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: than who died. And Rand looks back and he still
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: has access to loose Aaron's memories. He looks back and
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: he thinks, well, Helen got you finally got the end
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: you desert you've always loonged for. And he leaves, and
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, that is the end of the Wheel
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: of Time series. Wow, we will not, aside from the
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: companion and the prequel that was released not long after
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: this one, we will not see another entry to the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: Wheel of Time, which I was a little bit sad. Yeah,
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: I was a little bit sad because you know, honestly,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: I was kind of hoping, like, why don't we explore
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: the conflict between the a Eel and the Shawn Kahn,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: you know, why don't we explore that, like or they
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: could eat you know, we could. I was hoped. There
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: was so much that I was hoping for. But since
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: Robert Jordan unfortunately passed away before he could finish the series.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: It was up to Brandon Sanderson to complete the series
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: for him, and he did just that. He did spectacular
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: job at ending this series. Yeah, and I gotta I
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you this, this book was actually giving me
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: like things, act like, it was making me like nothing.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: I was getting a lot of dread because I was
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: just like, Oh my god, they're all gonna lose. They're
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: gonna lose. Oh my god, people are dying, going is dead.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: Suan's dead, like Fayel is fucking dead. Or I thought
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: she was dead because it seemed it hinted that she died. Uh.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: Davren Bashir unfortunately dies and I believe uh. And then
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: Gareth Brynn died. I believe the the chin errand Captain
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: Lord Algemeyer died.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: The only one that it seems like the only great
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: captain that survived was Rhodell Itold. But yeah, thank you
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: guys so much for uh for sticking with us for
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: this entire series. It was a long one. It was
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: a long one, and I think in the future, if
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: we do review a series this long, we're gonna break
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: it up. So because yeah, because I mean we kind
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: of did that with this because by the time we
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: got to what was a book seven, we got to
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: book seven, and then we had to stop because I
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: had not read the last seven books. But now that
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: we have, we were we were able to finish this book. Now,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: I will say I did not go into full detail.
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: There's still there's a lot in this book that happened
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: that I did not talk to talk about. I honestly
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: almost forgot about parn because his fight was so like
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: it felt more of like a side like a little
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: bit of a side story, because he was fighting in
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: the dream world and it really didn't have much of
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: an effect on the greater battle at hand. There was
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: so much more that happened, Like Matt actually in the
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the fight at the field of Marilred,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: he had actually sent messengers to this one village he
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: had gone through not long not long before the battle,
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: where the people at Sundown would lose their mind and
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: immediately start killing each other, but then in the morning
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: they would come back to life. He had what he
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: what he had done. He since he had recruited them
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: for this fight, and right at Sundown and the last,
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: the last night, you know, Matt summons. He had recruited
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: those villagers from that uh that was cursed to go
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: wild every night and kill each other and anything that moves.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: And then at the in the morning, if they any
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: one who died would disappear and reappear alive. So he
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: did that, and when the sun when the sun set
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: on the final night of the battle, he uh he
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: had eyes to eye open up gateways to the village,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: and all these people, deranged people come pouring out, and
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: they immediately start hacking into the trolks and dark friends,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: and this threw them off. And while some of his
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: allies questioned Matt's like reasoning, like why would you send
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: a bunch of village villagers to your deaths? Matt's like, what, No,
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: don't don't worry. They'll don't worry. They'll be fine. They're
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: they're gonna they come back. They'll come back. And they do,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: and they do, and they fucking do. Now. Like the
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: the thing is that there's no epilogue, there's no Ah
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: like tune in next time. This is the this is
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: the end. Uh Matt and Matt and Tuan actually uh
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: uh uh they actually go their separate ways here, with
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: Tuan returning to Abu Dhar to of course UH to
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: resecure her position there, and then she plans on later
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: returning to Shan Shan to AH to reunite her empire
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: back there, though I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen,
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: Like the Shan Shan Empire is broken, it's completely broken,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: or and if she does somehow manage to to reunite it,
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a hard It's a long, hard battle,
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: and I doubt she's gonna be able. She's definitely not
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: going to be able to hold both the entire continent
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: of Shawn Sean and try to retake the wetlands, not
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: in her lifetime. But it would have liked to see
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: more of this world, like new stories, because I felt
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: like this story was going to go on for a
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: lot longer m hm than just fourteen books. Yeah, Like
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that I'm pretty sure the final battle
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: itself would have taken would have been a lot, it
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: would have taken up more than just this one book.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: Like technically it started in book it started in book twelve.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: It technically started in book twelve, and it was slowly
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: building up in book thirteen, and then it finally like
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: came to head in book fourteen. But I'm sure it
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: would have lasted a lot longer, like there would have
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: been far more engagements, Like it wouldn't have just it was,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't have gone as quickly as it did, because
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: if overall the time frame of this battle was probably
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: about three months actually, no, like more like five five
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: six months, because like the first few months was like
• 1:53:46
