NEWS!

New address to the Swedish darkfriends mailing list!

What else can I offer...

The East of the Sun

Some texts from the East of the Sun, a Swedish fantasy convention that Jordan participated in back in 1995. Includes interviews and a summary of the early draft for the ACoS prologue.

Some articles...

• Norse connections in The Wheel of Time [45k].
• The death of Asmodean. My case for who did it and some news from TPoD.
• An analysis of the White Tower Conflict.
• A rather metaphysical article about the tripod of Rand, Mat and Perrin and their roles in the Pattern.
• A tentative listing over the One Power strength of various channelers, by me and Dave Rothgery.
• Assorted theories of mine. Theories that I like, but are too small to warrant their own pages.
• The trivia searcher's dream: all the PoV characters in TWoT, by Steven Cooper. Now updated for TPoD!

...and some less serious stuff

• A prophecy on what will happen in A Crown of Swords, told in (sorta) High Chant. Awarded Best Skald in the Crown of Plots contest, but then it didn't have much in the way of competition.
• My entry to the Bela Plot Contest, awarded to the Second Place in the Sir Emmpiess Memorial class.
• Lingonberry Bones, my entry to the Path of Plots contest, awarded to the Second Place in the Most Novel category.
• The arkane.fan.breasts.lara-beaton FAQ. Not at this site, but it's written by me.
• The Wheel of Time-themed Opera buttonset, created by Bryan Ecker and me.

Since all my WWW pages exist in a state of constant evolution, all comments and ideas are welcome.
