The story follows Moiraine, an Aes Sedai who can channel the One Power, and her companions as they journey to find and protect the Dragon Reborn. They must find a way to return the Dark One to his prison while multiple factions try to stop them. It’s full of magic and combat and all the things one hopes to see in a high fantasy adventure series.

What precisely are you implying? Is being "gay" now a bad thing? Spell out your thoughts.

Question Are the parallels between cultures conscious?
Robert Jordan Well, the parallels are conscious, but I've taken, I've tried to take come care that there's no exact duplication. There are bits from this culture and this historical period, and this sort of other culture and other historical period, fitted together to make this culture or that culture. You cannot look at the Sea Folk for instance and say, "Oh yes, ah well, that's from India. That is the culture of Japan, or India, or China, or England, or whatever." Because there is no single culture in that way. The Aiel for example have bits of Zulu, and bits of Apache, and bits of Cheyenne Indians, and bits of Bedouin and bits of Japanese cultures, and also some things that I simply thought would be neat. ... So I could fit them into the culture.
Question Which cultures are in the Seanchan?
Robert Jordan The Seanchan also are the melting of things that have come from many different human cultures to make their culture. There have been many rigid stratified, rigidly hierarchical cultures. It's a very human thing. The concept of being able to climb above your station is a relatively new one in human culture. You were born where you were born for a reason, and that is the place you will stay, that has been the norm for human culture, for most of history.
I mean, even the groups...the Whitecloaks are the people who know the truth. Not just truth, they know Truth, they know Veritas, they know Truth with a capital T, they're the Taliban, the Ku Klux Klan, they're the people who know the truth and you must believe their truth or they will kill you. but they're not the Taliban, they're not the Teutonic Knights, they're not the Ku Klux Klan. They are simply that concept.

Seanchan are Imperial Xian hierarchy except RJ knows shit about China apart from jade and concubines so he used imperial nippon's caste system instead, with a history of eastern Alexandrian empire that eventually gave birth to Constantinople and the Byzantine empire.
Jaxon Stewart
Jonathon from Nebraska Mr. Jordan...I play a one of the best telnet games based on your books (cshadow.net port 4000). It runs as close to you books as we can get. My question is this...I play a Seanchan character and have for some time. What was your basis when creating the Seanchan race and the structure of their society? I enjoy the race completely and love the structure of its hierarchy and was just curious as to what they are created from in your mind...? Thank you!! Robert Jordan Imperial China. Japan during the Shogunites, with strong dollups from the Persian Empire and from the Ottoman.
Stop shitting on RJ when you don't know shit yourself.

RJ a shit, word of god a shit, alexandrian empire led to the persian empire, and i got 3/4 right just from knowing my history, applying it deductively from what is presented instead of being a rigid fanboi who sucks off everything in a literal manner

Please don't call me names. I just looked through his interview archives and he seems extremely well-informed about history.
Elijah Hill
Best grill for waifu purposes, or best girl who gave you a "...wow." moment?
For the first one... you know thinking back on it all the girls were self-righteous, weren't they? Hard to say. I like the aiel though generally, so probably one of them.
Best character though? Probably Verin. Wrapped in mystery until the end, beautifully done.
Austin Wilson
He couldn't even own up Artur Paendrag Hawkwing is named after the English Arthur yet has the backstory of Alexander conquering the entire western known world. That's his idea of deconstructing mythical characters, autistically mix-and-matching names and stories and calling them original? What is a strong dollup lol? con-going, smelly sensitive obeselord
Hunter Carter

Why are you suddenly playing dumb now and expect anyone to believe you can't recognize a conjunction, this part of the redditor losing at the internet playbook taught in the interview archives? No wonder you suck the dick of this series.

Robert Jordan and Martin are both shit stains in literature. Actually, most genre fiction is where literature goes to die. These long "epics" are the epitome of why genre fiction sucks dick. Dune barely gets away with it and Tolkien made it "okay" to turn some shit story into 2k pages. Go read a book that fucking matters, you faggots.

these threads are making me want to re-read the series but I remember how much of a chore it got after book 6, I was pretty much skim reading to get to mat or rand chapters

Books are dead user. We will never have a Hamsun, Flaubert or Tolstoy ever again.
