From a recent Community Post: TL;DR: Part 2 is back on. It's not coming next, but it IS coming. Recently, a video I made on the Wheel of Time lore has started to pop off. I've gotten a lot of comments asking where part 2 is and why it isn't out yet. So, allow me to explain. When I made that video, my channel was still pretty small, probably
thanks. I would propose that you delay release until all parts are ready and then delay the releases so you don't have to worry about material in that timeframe. Then people are happy because they get to see the whole thing, you're happy because your people are happy and subscribing and liking and watching not just one but videos, and you're happy because you did the work at the same time, giving you a gap to work on other stuff.
They are so many incorrect statements in this video......I appreciate you have worked hard on this but really fact checker should have been done before final edit
@@bennyrentschler4212Unless you can give a quote that says that I'm going to say that you're mistaken. The Avendesora in Rhuidean was the last Chora tree to survive the Breaking and I don't remember seeing any mention that the Eye had an "entire grove" of them. Are you sure you're not mistaking the trees being all over the place during the Age of Legends for that?
@@A76noname you are correct and I did remember wrong. He stated that he hadn't rested under one in a long time. I reread that part in Eye of the World.
This is fantastic. I'm in book 8 right now and there is SO much information, history, lore, characters, etc, that honestly it's hard to get a handle on it. This recap/consolidation of the information is very helpful.
Interesting. I think you should look up the following terms 'Archetypal Cosmogonic Chaos', 'Tiamat', 'Jezebel' , 'Kali' , 'Kaliyuga' and understand their place in the human pysche and the motifs they represent. This was done intentionally by Jordan. He understood female nature better than mere mortals. The 2nd age ended because of the betrayal by the female aes sedai in the fateful concord, the men literally sacrificing themselves to die at Shayol Ghul in order for reality itself to be preserved, and they unintentionally sacrificed every Male to come for an entire Age to come in order to save the world, and the women refused to even thank them for it. Their white tower was possessed of darkness at its core, in its very heart sat the black Ajah. The 3rd Age all men felt the fate of that concord via overbearing matriarchical societies. It is no accident that a world of matriarchies was only possible by betrayal, and it was no accident that a world of matriarchies required a Male to save them and put things back into balance. The entire idea of the Wheel of Time is represented in the yin yang. Out of Darkness comes light, out of Light comes Darkness. Balance.
Thank you so much for this detailed explanation of the world. Various references in the books now make sense. Looking forward to your next video, detailing the remaining history.
Great video! Someone may have already mentioned, but Ishamael was the Betrayer of Hope and Sammael was the Destroyer of Hope. Really enjoyed watching this! Thanks! :D
This universe’s mythology is eerily reminiscent of a yogic and Hindu concept called Yugas, especially this idea of a Wheel and a Pattern, to the point I strongly, strongly suspect the author read about this somewhere.
Totally missed the origin of the Ogier. It is somewhat assumed they are alien but there is no real info on where they come from. They speak of returning to the stump, but no non-ogier have an account of what the stump actually is. Could be the remains of a world tree. Making Ogier symbolic of the earth. Or could be a 2nd Era version of Devil's Tower in South Dakota where the ET aliens landed in the movie Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. It could also be a crashed ship of some type. As I said, it is unknown.
Ishamael is the Betrayer of Hope. Sammael is the Destroyer of Hope. :) edit: I am not sure if that was corrected, otherwise great job. Sorry huge Foresaken lover.
I finished the books over covid, was a good read. just sometimes long winded. What I would like is to know what happened after Rand cleaned the source, and "To Un-make the Bore", so that it can be made again when the wheel turns. So, what happened in the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th age?
Some of the Karaethon Cycle was quoted as being written in the 4th Age. This gives the assumption that the few prophecies were originally reports and the fragmented lines somehow made it through the 5th, 6th, 7th, 1st and 2nd Ages. Odd that no other information about the 5-7th Ages also survived.
The Ogier and Stedding also came into our world at some point at the beginning of the 2nd age. Which could explain why the one power doesn't work within the stedding
I remember reading the books years ago. Back in the day the reviews were 3 stars at best. The author kept adding and changing things that people got tired of it. It was like he didn't know how to finish story.
I want to watch this video but I know that I will be spoilered... I am at book 24 (in german there are 37 ) and cann't wait to finish all of them and finally engulf myself in the lore videos on youtube
I’ve always pondered the question of how the first age ended and when, and exactly how many years there were between the first age and the age of legends. Some people seem to think a nuclear war ended the first age, but then how do you explain the portal stones? My guess is that at some point there was some kind of technological apocalypse… maybe a through all that dimension hopping they let in something that ended up destroying them all. Maybe something they did allowed for the one power to become channel-able and that caused the downfall of the first age. As far as the amount of time, I can’t see it being more then 10000 or so years if gleemen still had tales from the first age that survived with only a bit of mythologizing. I’d love to hear some more theories on this.
@@ryanoconnor7508 Yes but what were the circumstances that led from our modern world in the 1st age to the discovery of channeling? My head canon is basically a nuclear war occurred sometime in the 21st century. After the war civilization eventually recovered under a strictly pacifist worldview. This lead to rapid technological developments which included the portal stones and eventually the discovery of channeling.
@@josephfernandez8015or perhaps the destruction of the earths resources and environment. Perhaps why the 2nd age became concerned with getting along with nature and not sustainability.
@@josephfernandez8015But then is the the rest of earths history the same? Is it’s billions of years old ? Perhaps the the “wheel” only started turning once sentient races emerged, ie humans, then Ogier. Till then it was just evolution as normal. Perhaps the creator didn’t actually create the earth, but he ascended to dominion over it and created the pattern and the wheel which then lead to sentient life. Who knows.
The breaking raised oceans, sank mountains. Asmodean comments on the ruins of a stone Port found in the mountains of the Spine between the Aiel Waste and the lands of Cairhien, so its entirely possible that the Aiel Waste was once a seabed. So who knows really 🤔
I always feel as if the First age might have begun around the time of ancient civilizations while maybe the last couple of ages have more so regressed and knowledges of the Wheel, Creator, dark one, the 1 Power, etc were all lost until the 2nd age.
If this is the far future of earth, and the breaking shifted everything around so that maps are no longer correct, I’ve always wondered where things are compared to earlier ages. Like I’ve sort of pictured the Spine is what the Rockies turned into, for example. Which would put Two Rivers where Washington or Oregon is now? I’m probably wrong, there’s nothing to say that the WOT world is set in what used to be N America, but I’ve always wondered about the geography of the WOT world.
I have long thought that the main area of WoT was in whatever remained of western Europe, perhaps due to a world map I've seen that shows the the Seanchan empire was on the left side of the map, and the continent where almost everything happens on the right side of the map, at a location that would be consistent with Europe.
How would the war of power have looked like? What type of battles would have been there? The society was tech advanced, flying cars and what not... But they did not foster the warfare doctrine or engaged in arms race. So was it a thousands of men charging at each other with blades and shields with glass skyscrapers skyline in the distance? Or was it trench, barb wire and artillery barrages across the no mens land? Areal bombardment with saidin guided missiles reigning down on barbarian masses of trollocks (they probably didn't use a sophisticated combined arms tactics)
They definitely had advanced weapons. Likely terrangreal guns, canons, bombs etcbasically, since the whole point those terrangreal is that they can be used by people who can’t channel. Essentially all of their technology were terrangreal by the sounds of it.
@LouisKing995 so the battle would have resembled those of XX and XXI century battlefield? Soldiers didnt engage in melee hand to hand combat, but fired on on each other from magic powered guns? Is that your educated guess, or there are info about it in the canon somewhere?
I always thought that the Dark One is the Creator who invested his light side into creation and knowing what was left was the DO would be the outcome the creator planned to seal himself away at that moment
it’s more interesting if they are dualistic beings rather than one all knowing being imo. Also if the Creator was gone then the source would also be gone, since it comes from him.
@@unholywarrior9007because male channellers are much stronger than female channellers in terms of raw power. They are like walking nuclear arsenals and they literally went bat shit crazy. Thousands of them. Everywhere. 😂
The re-discovery of channeling allowed "our technology" to regress in some ways, and be replaced by other, more nature adjacent technology. We did not forget anything, but just as betamax was replaced by VHS and DVD and Streaming.... the tech of the age of legends was around long enough for the masses to forget the tech that came before. Generations were raised in a world where no previous tech was still used, thus it was lost to time.
@@Meromorphic dang, I nearly looked up my butt! Haha jk, I'll check out the pinned comment. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos and also to respond.
This was such an amazing video,friend. I am very new to the Wheel of Time. I bought the novels (Original used trade paperback and hardcover editions at discount prices 🤩) in 2018 when I was just getting into fantasy fiction in general. I tried reading them initially but was completely lost. I haven't seen the show cause I mistrust adaptations. I read Eye of the World in 2022 and loved it. The world building and the way gender issues are explained is so well done and fits so well without any current year toxic identity politics. I can't wait to read more. This video was amazing and I am now subbed.
the show doesn't follow the book, it is woke for "modern" audiences. in the show the women think the dragon can be a woman... sigh. and that men are evil for using the one power. totally confused with the book. even the aes sedai in the show they used a woman with bad skin, the power is supposed to make their skin like a doll, perfect.
@@MrMichaelBCurtis Yeah, I agree. The Amazon adaptation was woke (i.e. used divisive identity politics and ignored/ruined vital parts of the lore and mischaracterized some of the characters.) That really doesn't surprise me. That's one of teh reasons I mistrust adaptations. Thankfully, the books are still good and that's what I'll stick to.
@@orboakin8074 I like the Dune movie so far. outside the minor change to a woman of one of the characters, i mean what is the point? But the wheel of time series is unwatchable. I might try a third time, it is just so woke about how everything good has to be from women. The book actually does a great balance of reality.
12:40 - Semirhage taking deligt in inflicting pain while healing. Not too dissimilar to Jigsaw in the Saw franchise, where Jigsaw puts people into situations where they must endure Pain in order to survive or they can sit back and accept death. The people under Simirhage's care could accept the extra pain, but survive, or accept death.
Avendesora was a descendent of the Chora cuttings protected by the Aiel and located in Rhuidean in the Aiel Waste. The Green Man was the last of the Nym and protected the Eye of World at a different location in the Borderlands. So not quite perfect. Also Rahvin only thought himself as strong as Lews Therin, but in truth he wasn't quite as a strong. Difficult to tell in the third age because Rand is so young and inexperienced and Rahvin is hundreds of years old, so has more practiced skill.
From a recent Community Post: TL;DR: Part 2 is back on. It's not coming next, but it IS coming.
Recently, a video I made on the Wheel of Time lore has started to pop off. I've gotten a lot of comments asking where part 2 is and why it isn't out yet.
So, allow me to explain.
When I made that video, my channel was still pretty small, probably
You should pin this comment
just subscribed becuase of this video, yes, please do a part 2, this one is really great!
thanks. I would propose that you delay release until all parts are ready and then delay the releases so you don't have to worry about material in that timeframe.

This video was amaaazziinngg! Thanks so much for making it. It's clear alot if work went into it. Excited for part two! Thank you!
A slight correction: the Avendesora was in Rhuidean and not guarded by the Green Man, who was instead guarding the Eye of the World.
True and Lan and Rand sit below it, before its destruction and feel that inner peace
They are so many incorrect statements in this video......I appreciate you have worked hard on this but really fact checker should have been done before final edit

Only 2782 named characters and 4.4 million words across 15 books. Should be easy to keep track of. (shyeah right!)
just to set the tone, Demandred was also born a day after Lews Therin.
He was also an inch shorter 😢

Very cool video. It’s hard for me to keep up with all the characters sometimes.

Did you ever do a Part 2 to this? I couldn't find one on your channel.
Nice explaination of different perspectives
Didn't Lanfear work with another, male, Aes Sedai, when they bore into the Dark One's prison?
