She then transports herself and Rand into the city, where Rand confronts and kills Turak and his men. This causes Ishamael to learn of Rand's presence and realize that Lanfear has betrayed him. Ishamael orders Padan Fain to deliver the dagger from Shadar Logoth to Mat, in an attempt to kill Rand. However, Mat refuses to take the dagger and escapes. The Whitecloaks, led by Dain and his father Geofram, attack Falme in an attempt to eradicate the Seanchan. During the chaos, Ingtar, Loial, and Masema escape with the Horn of Valere and join the battle alongside Mat, Perrin, and the Aiel. Ingtar is killed in the process. Egwene manages to break free from her a'dam and kill Renna. Mat is forced to blow the Horn, summoning the Heroes of the Horn and turning the tide of the battle. At the same time, Perrin kills Geofram out of rage due to him killing Hopper. Rand, Egwene, Nynaeve, Perrin, and Mat reunite and are confronted by Ishamael. Ishamael has Rand shielded from the One Power and tricks Mat into wounding Rand. While Egwene and Perrin fight Ishamael, Moiraine frees Rand from the shield, allowing him to slay Ishamael. Rand is then proclaimed the Dragon Reborn before the whole city. After the battle, Moghedien confronts Lanfear and informs her that all the Forsaken have been released.

    E174 It’s the Year of the Dragon! 

    First off - full spoilers! If you’re one of those brave folks who doesn’t give a fig if you’re spoiled, then go right ahead.  All others have been warned.  Inspired by the new year, the year of the dragon, we each picked our favorite Dragon Reborn moment from the book series.  It should come as little surprise that we picked something from points in the books that perfectly balance each other.  This was a super fun way to take a look at what it means to be the Dragon.  What do you think your favorite moment is? Would you be interested in more characters covered this way?  For opportunities to get in early on content or a chance to participate in our weekly live recordings open only to patrons, we have a Patreon account for you to sign up to.  Patreon link below 💗 If you don’t already subscribe to the YouTube channel, you really should.  Amber puts up content on the regular and sometimes her videos take her to worlds outside Randland.   Check out our Patreon page to help fund the show, peruse our awesome Wheel of Time shop, or join the Road to Tar Valon discord server!

    E173 How about a Forsaken focused Age of Legends movie?  We’re for it!   

    Well, it didn’t take long for us to take a little detour from the books to discuss recent news in the WoT world.  There’s been another announcement regarding taking Wheel of Time source material and turning it into a movie.  What will this movie look like? How will we wrap our heads around new actors for Ishamael and Lanfear now that we love the actors in the WoT show? How deep will they go into the darkness that makes up who the Forsaken become? We are curious and excited and invite you to join us as we hypothesize over what this movie is going to look like.

    E172 Gareth Bryne, Boar-horses, and Bad Choices  Fires of Heaven Chapters 11-15   

    We are back in the books!  This is a spoiler free episode if you have read up to Fires of Heaven, through chapter fifteen, which happens to be Amber’s favorite chapter in the entire series.  There’s a heavy load of sarcasm added to that statement and you should listen to find out why.  There’s other stuff that happens that’s definitely on the lighter side, most importantly we are introduced to Valan Luca’s caravan of circus performers.  Are those whippets in sparkly tutus we see? If not, we’d like to.  Just a couple of announcements wrap up this episode.  Traci has big news and a podcast she’s been working on.  Paperback Cabaret can be found on all major podcasting platforms.

    E170 Is it coupling or romance? Both? Wheel of Time Romance Investigated  

    Before you jump in we want you to know, full spoilers for the books and the show.   The Wheel of Time is filled with couples, but how believable are some of these relationships?  Are they all needed? Is there any true “romance” found in the book series?  The tv series has a chance to do things differently, and indeed has shown us endearing moments that build on the romances barely fleshed out in the books as well as places where maybe certain couples aren’t going to make it to the screen.  For opportunities to get in early on content or a chance to participate in our weekly live recordings open only to patrons, we have a Patreon account for you to sign up to.  Patreon link below 💗 If you don’t already subscribe to the YouTube channel, you really should.  Amber puts up content on the regular and sometimes her videos take her to worlds outside Randland.   Check out our Patreon page to help fund the show, peruse our awesome Wheel of Time shop, or join the Road to Tar Valon discord server!
