What places would you want to visit we never got to see?
Shara for sure and more of Seanchan
Malkier. Also, the version of Emond's Field we see by the end of the Last Battle. I want to see how it has grown. At this point in the story, I would consider it completely different than the village we see in the prologue of LoC.
Outside the towers of snakes and foxes on their side of the doorways
Land of the Madmen. 1st
@@AnotherBrownAjah That's really really good. Really dangerous though!
Nae'Blis. You already know to the answer to your question. It is the section of Tar Valon right near the North Harbor. Unfortunately most men Randland cannot find it and most women think it is a myth as no one they have been with has taken them to the North Harbor.
This comment had me in tears, genuinely hilarious.
Wait… There’s a NORTH harbor?
And it's where you'll find Erotica Sedai! 😛
A Harbor Master seems to be needed.
I would have loved to seen Rand traveling with The Sea Folk as the Coramoor to distant lands beyond the oceans. Similar in scope to what we saw when he travelled with the Aiel as the Car'a'carn.
Perrin visits Deven Ride in The Shadow Rising Ch 53, via the wolf dream. I just happened to be reading that when you posted the video. His visit includes descriptions of the village and surroundings.
Could never stop thinking about the Dead Sea, the section of ocean NW of Randland. Touches the Blight and the arctic presumably. Always imagine Pirates of Dark Water being set there ;)
I come back to this channel every few months and EVERY SINGLE TIME I ask myself "why tf aren't you watching this everyday???". I freaking love this content.
"Canada. That's the Blight!"
- Nae'blis, 2022
Wow, he said it
Rereading Memory of Light currently, it is mentioned in the Slayer > Moridin meeting early on that this is the ONLY village in the waste. Or I may have misread it. Also I'm sure there are Shadowspawn hangouts like old, maybe even pre-breaking ruins, and sadly we won't ever know :).
Shara always kinda bugged me. Felt like they came out of no where without hardly any set up at all. So I would love to get more in Shara.
Reminds me of the army of the dead in lord of the rings
@@DarthCaedus7 it's not really like that in the books.
read River of Souls
I think there is a short story out there somewhere about damandred doing is own little karatheon cycle in shara
On a re-read we get so much of Shara and it's obvious Demandred is in there in LOC. Like every book has multiple random references to Shara and that there's things going on there, it goes overboard in Knife of Dreams with Noel talking about the Ayads and stuff too
Places like The Great Blight and Shara could have had chapters taking place there from the perspective of characters like the Forsaken. I’d have loved to know what the culture of Shara is like. We know a lot about Seanchan because of the many characters that are from there that are important to the story even if we don’t spend much time there. Shara didn’t get this treatment because we didn’t have as many characters from there in the main story. I understand even a series as long as WoT can’t go everywhere, but it’s fun to speculate.
*_The Dragon's Teeth_* (the Shadow Coast).
When I first open the book and looked at the map - *The Dragon's Teeth* - immediately grabbed my attention, and I wondered what adventures would happen here during the series. With a landmark so eerily looking and named, surely something was bound to happen there.
Alas not. Apparently Jordan just threw it in there to spice up his map and nothing more.
I do think we would have gotten to explore a lot more of these places in the planned outrigger novels (Mat and Tuon in Seanchan specifically) but for a fair few of the others I do think having these extra places that remain mysterious does add to the overall feel of the story and allows us to still be talking about and theorizing about the world.
I know it's not within your rules, but one of the most interesting parts of S1 of the show was the little clip showing the age of wonders. We really only got hints about what it was like in the books and I'd love to explore that more...
Forget thirst, the pressure you'd get at the bottom of a canyon three miles deep (150-170% of sea level) would push temperatures over 170°F in summer. That would kill you in minutes.
I’d imagine there would be ruins under the ocean. The OP certainly seems like it could sustain underwater travel somewhat, so it seems like there could have been a ruins expedition for some artifacts!
SPLR 13A | We do briefly see the Towers of Midnight and other parts of Seanchan at the start of Ch. 1 of the book by that name.
I've always been curious about the Land of Madmen. I want to know what happened after Saidin has been healed. How are things going to be different there now that all the male channelers aren't doomed to madness and death.
My husband's comment when Nae'blis says he wants to visit Devan Ride "Cause everywhere else is full of danger!"
Always wanted to see what was going on in the land of madmen
Getting to see more of Seanchan would have been great. The Seanchan are the biggest Boogeyman in the books until the Last Battle but you see practically nothing of their country, just a few passing mentions.
I can’t believe we saw little to nothing of Seanchan. With how significant it is, as well as how much of Seanchan’s affairs we hear about, many of which as they happen, I’m surprised we didn’t see more chapters scattered across the books that take place there.
All the best to Brian
G'day Naebs from the Land of the Mad Men, I reckon Rand might just come down for a visit early in the 4th Age.
An area you could have added is the NW area(south of the Blight) of the Westlands. The Banikhan Mountains and along the Worlds End Coast.
Dude the message on your white-board is friggin' hilarious. I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the video or the message XD
This is a great list. Would love to have seen more of the Seanchan Empire and Shara as well.
I imagine the Island of the Madmen as a place with a few men who control a certain amount of territory. They just kill each other off all the time and the big battles are the reason for the seismic activity.
Of course there are no brothels in Randland, in every nation, if you try to visit a "house of leisure," you get a spanking.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the video, Nae’blis.
The Great Rift runs so very close to the coast, it would be possible in the 4th Age to open it out into the ocean, thereby dropping the sea level by quite a bit.
Very good and thoughtful idea!
I completely agree with what you said about the blight! I would also have loved to see more of it.
Also wanted to say that this channel is so underrated! Should get so much more attention!
The ride is missing in the movie. Lan went from the coast to Fal Dara on horse back. Most people have forgotten that part of the story
In my Wheel of Time Fourth Age Ttrpg/fanfic-ish setting, the Shadow Coast was given to the Band of the Red Hand who formed a new Balasun as part of the delicate balance the Band had to do between the various loyalties it held that pulled it in every direction. SPOILERS...
Mat allowed the settlers who came from all over either following family that joined the Band or sought new lives to form Balasun into a Republic as long as it didn't interfere with the Band's affairs and supported it, a Republic that exists in a shady spot since the Seanchan expected him to turn it into habitable land for the Empire in Exile, yet they are hesitant to acknowledge it as a vassal since Republicanism is a rising ideological enemy that is heavily associated with the Westlands and they don't want to violate Tuon's permission to allow Mat to have full control however he decided or invade what has become one of the most fortified nations in the world, let allow spark rebellion or a Coup by the Blood by acknowledging Republicanism as legitimate. The whole ordeal is massive; The Band still has major contracts with Dragon Peace nations, it's has been tied to the Caralain Confederation, the largest Republican Movement since Oliver grew up to be a revolutionary and turns out to be Silverbow's partner reborn, the work heavily with the Empire of the Sun except if requested to fight Seanchan or the To' Riven Republic and its allies after the whole make Perrin an actual lord thing fell apart for obvious reasons and a few unexpected ones.
I love content like this exploring places that don't get book time
Yay! New episode.
While I would love to know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING, I am reminded that this very fact is part of what makes such a world great. Let there be mystery so we may dream with wonder. Like our own world, no one can ever know every part and the exotic places we will never see fill us with longing and a lust for exploration. So it is with the WoT.
I always wanted to see Seleisin, the place who's name is used proverbially several times ("A half-blind goat in Seleisin has more brains than to walk into a trap!" "A redbird in Seleisin knows as well as I" etc.) but isn't even on the map so we don't actually know where it is.
From memory those are places from Birgitte's memories and the place likely no longer exists. Same for all the kindgoms she and mat only remember.
@@Yawgrimas Nope, those quotes are Min and Moraine.
@@michaelpecoraro486 no idea on that then. Which book are the in? They obviously didn't stand out
@@Yawgrimas The half-half blind goat one is Min in Winter's Heart, the redbird is Moiraine in Fires of Heaven, and I'm sure there's one or two others in the books somewhere.
@@michaelpecoraro486 According to WOT Wiki its in Andor and there are 5 references including Elayne said "there may be a Crofter in Seleisin who doesn't know the Tower split. but that would be all".
I suspect its a remote village somewhere in Western Andor, well away from the beaten track. Min may have heard of it in Baerlon, Elayne may know of it as part of her education and Morraine's searching would have seen her study just about every village in the Westlands at some time.
One of your best videos. Are there any good fan fictions covering any of these?
I would have loved to see the Ogier home world. Wherever that other destination is/was/will be, it is either terrifying or beautiful, or both. I imagine it would be similar to D&D's Feywild. The AS of the AoL would travel "off-world" as well; whether that is literally to another planet of "just" another dimension, I would have loved to see that.
I am just disappointed we didnt spend more time in North Harbor. For such a hard place to find and locate, I really wish we had spent more time exploring all its crevices.
Randland is the prudest place ever? Methinks someone forgot the part when Elayne was checking out the different angreal they found in Ebou Dar ;-)
Seanchan as a whole is the one I'm most curious to see, other locations would be The Sea folk islands, cliffs of the dawn, Mayen, the drowned lands, Haddon mirk and the Termool...
Nine Horse Hitch was RJs joke for a brothel.
"We never see any of Seandar or Seanchan other than Aviendha and Rand taking a short trip there to go bang in an igloo." Dont think I'll stop immaturely grinning at that one for some days. 😂😂😂
The Trollocs just eat each other i would assume. Just make sure the headcount in enough for your army and food.
I’d like to backpack the Mountains of Mist.
The Land of Madmen is a Mad Max riff. It's Mad Max Australia with chanellers instead of cars and guns.
Only one answer for me.. Shara. But I would’ve loved to see the seachan capitol as well
Thank you. Love this kind of content instead of anything to do with the series on Amazon. Very interesting.
Seanchan and Shara are the two places we never got to see that we should have visited in the books :/
BTW Nae'Blis, you are tied for first place for my WoT news and content, with Rebecca over at Reading the Pattern. To me, Daniel Green is fun but a little too chaotic, Matt at Dusty Wheel is just ... kind of boring (I find he plays it "too cool"), and Jon at WotUp is just _such_ a blowhard. I love your production and editing, your energy, your whiteboard, your humor, and pretty much everything about your show. You have that rare combo of unapologetic enthusiasm and just being _real._ Keep it up man!
I'd still like to see North Harbour.....
Deven ride , the new Maldives of Randland.
When do we get to see the jumara and carnivorous trees? I want more monsters!
As an enthusiast of ocean life and the many mysteries of the deep I would have liked to see more ocean and underwater scenes.. maybe some lost Atlantis like ruined city from the breaking on the bottom of one of the seas containing a cache of power made relics or angreals for example. The power could be used to create an air bubble or some such device to explore. I can imagine some really exciting underwater encounters between the mains and the forsaken. There's so much focus on the dry land we forget there's as much to discover under the water. Nae'Blis touched upon this with Lake Somal unexplored.. there clearly is something interesting occurring with a fresh body of water the size of a great lake void of settlement. Of the locations mentioned Somal has me curious as to why!
Definitely Land of the Madmen, I'm just fascinated how the major powers, The Two Towers, Shara, Seanchan, Sea Folk would try to recruit channelers there, especially male channelers now that Saidin is cleansed so their madness won't get worst and better yet many more channelers can be born since it was a problem The White Tower was facing in recruiting new sisters since they were effectively purging the channeling gene from the Westlands by hunting male channelers. Also I kind of envision the island as being the place where the most powerful channelers are, where the strong male channelers were only hunted when they went so mad they threatened another breaking of the world and the other channelers (male and female) just teamed up on them.
If you want a fantasy great rift description, try the Godwars trilogy
I'm surprised the dark one's taint didn't make the list.
Hey buddy. You can use my world map for anything you want. I have a hi res version I’ll send any content creators for their videos. As for locations I would have loved to see the Sen T’Jore, a wasteland area of Seanchan due west of where the sex igloo was built - it’s the home of “trapworms’ which supposedly jump out of holes in the ground to attack people
I think “the town” was in the blight? Where the red-masked aiel and wolf slayer are from?
The great rift sounds more like Valles Marineris (2500mi long, 4mi deep).
Is WoT set on Mars? :-)
The Great Rift? Only by Raken~
Didn't Rand *briefly* pop into Shara? He got a piece of some sort of rod and kept it around to remind himself of just how much is out there that he doesn't know anything about? It's been decades since I read the books, so it's really hard to remember.
That was the Seanchan, not Shara.
I was sad Matt never went to seanchan land
"Natural features" is a bit of a misnomer for probably most anything post Breaking, though after several thousand years that's just quibbling.
The Great Blight looks like a lego design built by a 5 year old.
Seafolk islands?
I wonder why the Shadow never harnessed the Land of Madmen for male channelers.
I wanted to see Sharra
Mat is going to cleanse the Tower of Ravens by extinguishing slavery through policy reforms. Future Seanchan Hero Mat rolling the dice. Poor Seanchan!! They don't realise they are in the hands of a Tave'ren flow. Creator has Fun with Mat 😉😅
Nae’blis, you got hair for bells, you just gotta get a little creative..
And definitely no desire to see Seanchan
No desire to see Shara
in the last 2 videos i have watched you have mentioned 4-5 times how you do not think slavery is a good thing. I do not think this is necessary at all. You can like things in fantasy without having to qualify them based on things in reality. We are all adults, its ok.
It’s sarcasm Oliver 😂
@@NaeBlis well i am pleased to hear that. But perhaps it is too subtle a version, I am a Brit and even i did not detect it 😀
There's always somebody that can take offence to something like that.... What you want to go to a land with slavery? You're a despicable human, bet you wish you could own people... Or something along those lines
Why in the hell are you showing footage of that abomination of a show that wears a skin suit of WoT in your videos?
