The Wheel of Time (video game) The Wheel of Time is a first-person shooter-style video game based on Robert Jordan's fantasy series of the same name. It was released in 1999 by Legend Entertainment.[1] Wheel of Time's game play is very similar to a first-person-shooter, but instead of normal weapons the player is given a wide assortment of over 40 ter'angreal - magical artifacts which can cast specific weaves (spells). These artifacts range from offensive weapons, to shield and healing spells, to various more complex spells, such as one which swaps the player's location with the target. The number and variety of spells available allows for combinations of weaves to be used, as well as effective counters to the attacks of other players or AIs. The game's setting in respect to the novels is ambiguous. Elayna follows the assassin and his army of Trollocs to the crumbling city of Shadar Logoth, which is inhabited by unknown creatures of evil.

Upon returning to Tar Valon, Elayna finds the White Tower besieged by Trollocs. The Wheel of Time Re-read: Introductory Post. Hello! Welcome to the introductory post of a new blog series on Tor.com, The Wheel of Time Re-read. This is in preparation for the publication of the next and last book in the series, A Memory of Light, which is scheduled to be published this fall. My name is Leigh Butler, and I’ll be your hostess for the festivities. I’m very excited to be a part of this project, and I hope you will enjoy it as well. This project was inspired in large part by the lovely and talented Kate Nepveu’s current re-read and commentary series on The Lord of the Rings here on this site, and will follow the same basic outline, because why mess with fabulousness?

Owing to time constraints (the impending publication date) and the comparatively ginormous amount of material to be covered (The Wheel of Time is about ten times as long as LOTR), doing one chapter per post simply isn’t feasible, so we’re going to be stepping up the pace a bit. Discussion and participation is the aim, because otherwise what’s the point? The Wheel of Time. "Aiel" redirects here. For the writ, see Ayel.

Start [Wheel of Time: World of Dreams] In an attempt to create from scratch an MMO-RPG game based on the Wheel of Time Universe by Robert Jordan . Right now, this is very fresh and there is not much to look at. This wiki is dedicated to its development, documentation, idea's and so on and will eventually serve as the one source (pun intended) for all things WOT-WOD related Disclaimer Short Description The game is based around a thousand years or so into the '4th Age' of the wheel of time and while I will be remaining faithful to the Wheel of Time universe in as many ways as possible this gives me a means to deviate from the story-line that is already set in stone in order to create something new, fun and unique.

The last book in the WOT series has not been released yet, as such, I do not know how the story will end. If you have not read them, then you really should!
