Even having devoured every bit of WoT content repeatedly over the course of the last 25+ years this was a fascinating and very enjoyable watch, thank you for giving us some lore!
Thank for this video. It was amazing. A truly fascinating era of RJ's world building. Hawkwing's defeat in the Waste is RJ's Third Age version of Napoleon's loss in his attack on Russia. Substitute a dessert for a snow covered land in the middle of winter.
Total agree with Andrew. I've read these books countless times but I've never pieced this story together anything like this well. Excellent work yes please do more @Nae'Blis!
Great video! I can’t imagine the level of research you had to put into this. Love the choice of background music as well. Small comment: your vocals are soft compared to the background track (and is softer than other RUclips videos, so the adverts blast your ears). Next time maybe boost them or check with earphones before uploading.
Using some (or more) dynamic compression can make a big difference too, so you don't end up boosting the loudest transients of your voice too much but can instead bring up the lows to nicely sit above the bg music. Not sure what software you use but I'm sure there's a compressor built in. Try a slowish attack and fast release, 2:1 or 4:1 ratio and go for as much gain reduction as you can with it still sounding natural. Then you can bring the result up in volume much more evenly than before. Sorry if you already know this but if not hope it helps!
I like to think Artur Hawking as a "succesful failure" everything he did in his life turned out to be borderline meaningless. The only thing he really did was defeating the False Dragon, not a minor thing, mind you. But after that and WITH Ishamael influence. Artur Hawking pretty much failed at everything.... I think it is a great show of how destructive Ishamael could be and how strong Rand truly was at resisting and beating him. Being Ta'veren was certainly NOT an inmunity against the Forsaken. Artur Hawkin, while a great man was a failure in almost everything he tried to do. Not because of him, but he certainly failed.
I love the news updates Woww, does this take me back to when I first found your channel. I believe it was the Shara vids back then? It's been a hot min I absolutely love these style of videos Thank you and everyone on your team
Very interesting video. I think I secretly don’t like the aes sadai, because it makes me happy knowing what happened to them during Hawkwing’s rule. But that being said I hate the Seanchan so I probably shouldn’t like Hawkwing. 😂
I do not like the AS. I do not understand why some people choose to name themselves "..." Sedai on Twitter or other social media. Same goes for Wise Ones...
Very interesting video. I am currently re-reading the book series, Book 10 now. I'm on the third re-reading and it's quite weird thinking that I've not watched the TV show yet because.. I'm just not interested.
The show isn't bad, necessarily. It's just very different. It's literally like watching the same story in a mirror world. Most of the same people, but everything is a little different.
If I remember right, he wasn't properly locked in with the Dark One. Remember how the very first book starts out, with Ish taunting Lews Therin *after* the Dark One was locked up? He got pulled into the prison for centuries at a time, but he would occasionally get out for a few decades to wreak havoc.
@@ZlothZloth exactly, he probably was phasing in and out of the pattern of reality for those 3000 thousand years, which would explain how he became crazy and also how he came to view himself as the dark one's champion aka the shadow's dragon
I don’t know. I think I still like your older lesser quality lore videos. Compared to your more recent higher quality videos. At least that’s what RUclips’s algorithm tells me! Ha!
Quiz Rafe Judkins on Artur Hawkwing. Betcha he fails miserably and then shrugs and says he’s getting a rewrite anyway. Lol. Amazon’s handling of WOT is a DISGRACE!
I like this a HELL of a lot more than I do what Amazon is doing to the story. It's been a decade since I've read the last of the books, these videos remind me of how much better the books were than the bastardization series has been.
Please can you normalize the sound next time? The quiet beats are almost impossible to hear, but if I turn the volume way up, your louder beats are too loud. And what happened to Hawkwing's first wife? I assume she died before he remarried but I didn't hear you say anything about her death.. Oh I see, later you mention that she was poisoned along with his children. Must have missed that the first time. I also missed the part where he had children with his second wife. Am I just missing all of this important info because of the fluctuating volume, or wasn't it included? I'm sorry to say, this is the worst video (as far as production value) I've ever seen on this channel. The topic is interesting, but there's important info missing and the variance in volume is *terrible*! I hope you're doing alright, Naebs.
Once again the amerilan outsteps her bounds and let’s arrogance and poor leadership cast a shadow on the tower. Not really but I get so mad when people in power act like fools ugh. WOT is full of powerful fulls.
4:30 A correct usage of "literally" and "decimated". This is more exciting than it should be :P

Jesus. I never noticed Hawkwing is LITERALLY King Arthur! He even used Pendraeg
The moment I saw pendraeg is was like “King Arthur.” That alone made Hawkwing one of my favorite characters in the series
I picked up on it right away. Outside the name, even the story is Authirian in nature
Thank for this video. It was amazing. A truly fascinating era of RJ's world building.
Hawkwing's defeat in the Waste is RJ's Third Age version of Napoleon's loss in his attack on Russia. Substitute a dessert for a snow covered land in the middle of winter.
Yeah I had fun making this one
Total agree with Andrew. I've read these books countless times but I've never pieced this story together anything like this well. Excellent work yes please do more @Nae'Blis!
I never substitute a dessert. Gimme that cake, ice cream, pie, etc.
with that whiteboard message the map of tar'valon becomes particularly suggestive lol.
Hurrraaaaaayyyyyyy, you finally made the Hawkwing history! Thank you, been waiting for this ever since you last mentioned it ❤

I love this video, but the audio makes it difficult to hear you. The music is too loud and your audio is not loud enough.
Most excellent, Sir!!
This was FANTASTIC!!!! I love the depth of this history and it's so complex and nuanced.
You are quite the story teller. I'm impressed with this.

Fascinating story, thanks for collating the lore and presenting it to us.
This was a really good video! It felt like I was listening to the history of a real person.
This was your best video yet, I believe. Solid all around 😁
This was a great one shot of Artur’s life. Really wonderful. Thank you!
Love this content. Keep ‘‘em coming
Thorough and well spoken, nice job!
Great Job Nae’Blis! That was really well done and very thorough! So…. What’s Next? I’ll be anxiously awaiting your next History!
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever made! Great job!
Spectacular work Naeblis!
Love your Lore vídeos. Thank you!
Great Video!! Thank You!!
I love your lore content, you help give clarity to the rich world of WoT
Great job putting all the pieces together.....
Very nice. Can’t wait to get to this part in the books ☺️
Very very good story!
Excellent video! Loved it!
Loved this! Thank you
Loved this! Thanks..
Great break down of the history in WOT world. Would definitely Watch more of them.
This video is Fantastic!! I learned sooooooo much!! Thanks 😁
Well done!
I love the news updates
Woww, does this take me back to when I first found your channel.
I believe it was the Shara vids back then? It's been a hot min
I absolutely love these style of videos
Thank you and everyone on your team
Terrific video. Must have involved a lot of research. Thanks
An amazing video
Great video. So much that I did not know. 🙂
can you do a video on Arthur Cockring next?
Great video
This is fantastic! Would love similar treatment of Shara and Seanchan!
Shara exists! Seanchan is coming soon!
@@NaeBlis leave it to me to not there's already a Shara video! Will search. Thanks!
Seems like he was inspired by Napoleon (as well as king arthur, obviously)
Very interesting video. I think I secretly don’t like the aes sadai, because it makes me happy knowing what happened to them during Hawkwing’s rule. But that being said I hate the Seanchan so I probably shouldn’t like Hawkwing. 😂
I do not like the AS. I do not understand why some people choose to name themselves "..." Sedai on Twitter or other social media. Same goes for Wise Ones...
The audio 😫😖
Could we have some more, please.
Awesome! Way to go. Do you think he was a Dragon Reborn?
Definitely not. Rand had the previous Dragon talking to him in his head, and it wasn't Hawkwing.
Your white board bro!!! 😂 love the messages
Good stuff
8:13 Amyrlin's anger OR; Why the Red Ajah should have as little political power as possible.
Where does all this information come from? Is it in the WOT Companion book?
Very interesting video. I am currently re-reading the book series, Book 10 now. I'm on the third re-reading and it's quite weird thinking that I've not watched the TV show yet because.. I'm just not interested.
The show isn't bad, necessarily. It's just very different. It's literally like watching the same story in a mirror world. Most of the same people, but everything is a little different.
Hawking was Tavaren, makes you wonder about Isha
Sound
I just noticed the message on the white board rofl
Artur fkin Hawkwing
“This ain’t like in Tolkien.”
I only have one ear. Please turn your volume up 10% and turn the music off. Just sayin.
Where did you get the art for the Amerlyn?
why didn't the yellow ajah deal with the black fever?
Is there a reason Ishamael was released at Artur H's time? and what happened to him after that?
If I remember right, he wasn't properly locked in with the Dark One. Remember how the very first book starts out, with Ish taunting Lews Therin *after* the Dark One was locked up? He got pulled into the prison for centuries at a time, but he would occasionally get out for a few decades to wreak havoc.

That white board.... 🤣🤣🤣
I always assumed Artur Hawkwing had to be Ta'veren to accomplish all that he did. Anyone know whether he was or wasn't?
You're great and contribute a lot but the sound is way off
I love your storytelling however , I slow it down and deepen the tone to make you kind of an American in deep geek. Cheers man
I don’t know. I think I still like your older lesser quality lore videos. Compared to your more recent higher quality videos. At least that’s what RUclips’s algorithm tells me! Ha!
Never trust a sorcerer, the aes sedai are evil.
Where’s the next chapter of eye of the world 🤷♂️
I’ll be 100 at this rate 😩😉😂
Please do more of the chapter breakdowns, please
Quiz Rafe Judkins on Artur Hawkwing. Betcha he fails miserably and then shrugs and says he’s getting a rewrite anyway. Lol. Amazon’s handling of WOT is a DISGRACE!
And he'll be rewritten simply as a jab at all us "purists".

Your mic sucked this video. Gotta work on it. Difficult to hear. And yes, I got amazing speakers. Great video though.
