Wheel of Time FAQs and Resources

If you haven't already read the FAQs (lists of Frequently Asked Questions), you should start with them.

The Wheel of Time FAQ represents the best of more than 6 years of fans' discussion about the books. If you've never read it, do so now! It greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the series when I read it.

The rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan group FAQ contains basic guidelines and suggestions for participating in newsgroup discussion. Take a look at it before you post.

Tor Books now has an official Wheel of Time page. There you can find information about all the books and a list of Robert Jordan's upcoming signings.

Other Archive Sites on the Web

Many Robert Jordan fans have built their own archives of information about the Wheel of Time series. Let's start with two good indexes:

Yahoo's Robert Jordan list has links to several dozen pages. It's slow to receive updates, though. Many pages haven't yet appeared on it, and many that are listed disappeared months or years ago.
Pam Korda has compiled an Index of Wheel of Time resources on the Web. This is a great place to go to find information related to WoT. Her index is more extensive than mine (the one you are reading) and is organized by subject. It is both more complete and more timely than Yahoo's list.

Search for "Robert Jordan" or "Wheel of Time" on your favorite search engine and you'd find hundreds of matches. Visit those pages, though, and you'd find most of them fairly content-free. Here's an annotated list of pages with good information, pages that are worth visiting again and again:

The Waygate is the official Wheel of Time archive, maintained by Helmut Geyer. Although it hasn't been updated in a long time it contains a number of interesting things including various bits of humor, summaries of information we've gleaned from the books (eg, how the Old Tongue works, what military forces are in the field), reader surveys of what we think will happen next, fan writing contests, and more.
Aaron Bergman's Yet Another Robert Jordan Fandom Page has an Old Tongue dictionary, interpretations of prophecies, "tidbits" about characters (eg, Verin, Moiraine, Osan'gar and Aran'gar, Taim and Demandred), and transcripts from on-line chats with Robert Jordan.
Karl-Johan Norén's Fandom Page has plot summaries of all the books, an analysis of Norse mythologies in Wheel of Time, and an analysis of the split in the White Tower.
Emma Pease has a list of characters in the Wheel of Time. From that page you can also find a timeline of events in the series and a list of places.
Kate Touhey is making an index of character information from the series. It looks pretty useful for answering those questions such as, "Where have we seen this person before?"
John Novak's Jordan page hosts his gallery of Wheel of Time fan art, the rasfwrj newsgroup FAQ, and the results of his last newsgroup survey.
James Yu's Tex'Aran'Rhiod page has information about the Texas Darkfriends, including an application to their society, their guidebook, descriptions of their gatherings, and pictures.
Bryon Wassermon's page, The Black Tower, has several theses and compendiums.
