WoT Spoilers

Mat wanders around the Tower grounds, trying to assess whether or not he can escape the grip of the Aes Sedai. He runs into Lanfear again, this time she's masquerading as Else Grinwell, but she's not interested in talking. Eventually, he comes upon the warder training grounds, and challenges Gawyn and Galad to a bet on a sparring match. Mat, of course, thumps both of them, at the same time. Everyone likes seeing those two humbled, especially by a farmer with a quarter staff. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

Our friend Aradia joins us once again to discuss the aftermath of Egwene's test. Egwene has passed, and emerges from the third ring as everyone does, screaming, crying, and cursing. All is not right outside the rings, though. Suian is shouting orders at her Aes Sedai, who are all in as much of a panic as we ever see them. The dream Ter'angreal Verin gave her affected the function of the testing Ter'angreal, causing a 'resonance' that almost destroyed Egwene and the Ter'angreal both. Alanna describes it as getting so hot it felt as if it might either explode or melt it's way through the floor. Egwene has narrowly escaped death as she has and will again.

Friend of the pod, Aradia joins us for this chapter to discuss Egwene's testing. As Egwene leaves Verin's rooms, she's quickly intercepted by Sheriam. It's her time to take the Accpeted test, because Elayne just finished hers. Keep in mind the last handful of chapters all happen back to back. The girls have suffered an assassination attempt from Graymen, beatings from Sheriam, worked a long shift scrubbing pots and shoveling coal, still have not slept, and then are required to pass a test that very well may kill them. Elayne and Egwene get no sympathy, however. We talk about the realities inside the rings, where and what they are, how they're created, and how and the reasons some women never make it back to the true world.

'Talent' is a collective name for special innate abilities of both people who can, and some who can not channel. For instance, listening to the wind, compulsion, and healing are all Talents that only a channeler can use. On the other hand, there are also Sniffers, Wolfbrothers, and Dreamwalkers – none of whom need the One Power to use their Talents.

Egwene has been summoned to Verin's rooms in the Tower.  The Aes Sedai gives Egwene information on the 13 Black sisters who have fled the Tower, and a dream Ter'angreal.  Verin withholds critical information from Egwene, and we know that all the information Egwene receives has been pre-approved by the Black Ajah but, the Ter'angreal gift was not.  No one knows it exists, except Verin, and now Egwene.  We talk about Verin's dual nature, and how she helps the hunters when and where she can while staying within her Black Ajah operating guidelines.    WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

This is where TDR hits it's stride, and we're excited! Lanfear walks into Mat's room. He's stark naked, taken totally off guard, and under her spell. She's come of course to give her glory pitch to a nervous and naked farm-boy. We also know that Lanfear has been active in the tower recently. Her intent is difficult to guess, but we assume she's using the Black Ajah, or interfering with the plans of Mesaana or Be'lal. Lanfear seems to think that Mat will be the easiest of the three for her to manipulate, though, in reality Mat doesn't seem anymore easily swayed than his friends. Lanfear somehow senses Suian and Leane approaching the room and quickly disappears a moment before they enter. While talking to Suian, Mat confirms that Tam and Abel had been to the tower looking for Emonds Fielders. Unsurprisingly, they give Mat as little information as possible, making Mat suspicious of the Aes Sedai's intentions. JWoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

Mat wakes up in the Tower, not knowing exactly how he got there. He's been healed, and although there are holes left in his memory, we see him recollect a full page of memories from the Trolloc Wars – Aemon's Last stand, the battle that marked the death of ancient Manetheren, but saved a tiny remnant of it's people, Mat's own ancestors. We talk about the Old Blood connection, how some of Mat's memories are his own from his current life, his own from past lives, and the memories he gains from other people's past lives later. We talk about Mat's distinct ability to think strategically, even now, and how his way of thinking was influenced by his father. Mat left the Two Rivers as a simple farm boy. He wakes up here, from his near death experience, as something else, something greater. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

WHAT, exactly, does the sniff sound sound like, and what does it mean? Tell us what you think! Sheriam leads Egwene and Nynaeve deep underneath the White Tower, where even Aes Sedai rarely go. Ten women have gathered to separate Mat from the Ruby Hilted Dagger, remove the infectious touch of Shadar Logoth from his body, and the threat it poses to the world, not to mention save the young man's life. This is the first time we see Vora's Sa'angreal, and such a powerful circle of female channelers. We spend some time on the mechanics of circles, and how they work. Mat screams in the Old Tongue; he writhes, screams some more, and in the end almost dies. Siuan and her chosen group however, are successful, if barely.

Elaida walks into the room without announcement, to interrogate the young women about recent events. She's met Rand, and wants to know more. This is the beginning of her suspicions of Siuan. Elaida embraces the source, to menace the girls. We talk about her intent, and the way the young women perceived that act. Luckily, Sheriam walks in shortly afterward to bring the young women to Mat's healing. Sheriam – who just 'found' a Grayman in her bed. Don't worry, Seth, Patrick, and the Chosen in Discord put our heads together and talk about that. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.

Nynaeve doesn't appreciate the meddling curiosity Gawyn and Galad, and they're swiftly ejected from her room in the Tower. We discuss Egwene's switch in love interests in this chapter – a hot topic in our Discord Server. Siuan's plan is to make Nynaeve and Egwene her hounds to hunt the Black Ajah, and she knows that by default, they will let Elayne in on their plans. This is where it happens. Nynaeve suspects the Amyrlin is considering not healing Mat. We talk about Siuan's motivations, and the reasons she might not. Of course, she does decide to heal him. We believe it's for the sake of building a bond with her new hounds.  WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.
