I am reading the complete series for the third time.

And I have been looking for maps such as the ones that you have created.

Please know this: these maps are completely mind-blowing and rank, for me, as one of the most valuable WOT resources that I have yet to run across.

Simply fantastic.

You work is to be lauded.

Hi, I was wondering if you would be willing to post your map with no story markings? I am planning a Wheel of Time D&D campaign using the Wizards of the Coast WoT books. I would like to print your map out across a few sheets of paper so the players (who are unfamiliar with WoT) can look at the world they can explore. But i’d like to use a map that doesn’t have a particular book’s related markings on it. Your map is by far the nicest and most clear i’ve been able to find. I don’t know if you even want people using your map in this way but if you are cool with it and would like to post a “clean” map I would be eternally grateful.

OMG! Thanks so much for doing this! I thought about doing something like this for my own yucks, but it seemed like a really big project. Now I see that it IS a really big project, and I am SO glad you did it for me!! Thank you!!!!

Great job with this project. I’ve really enjoyed it.
One correction: Slayer isn’t swallowed by the nightmare. He and Perrin both come out of it, then Perrin leaves him when he exits back to his body in the waking world.
Looking forward to the last one.

Oh, you know what, though – that feeling he gets when confronting the Whitecloaks in Baerlon is probably not touching the source but the after effects from the Bella incident. It does say he feels like he is getting sick; a cold or so. So, maybe the Bella deal really was the first time. The earlier could have just been soreness from the events combined with adrenaline. I’ll stop thinking out loud now. B&A!

I’m enjoying the map while listening to the audiobook years after reading the book. It’s fun to see what you missed the first time through, and I realized that Rand actually touches the source (I believe) a few times early on. One is definitely when he will Bella to “RUN!” and Moraine later comments that she is indeed in need of the least healing. In Baerlon, when he first confronts the Whitecloaks after Mat’s prank, it also describes his feeling really silly and having tingling arms and tons of energy, etc. That sounds like a touch to me possibly. There is one other time before that where it mentions him feeling his bones aching and tingling, blood on fire, etc., and that happens before Baerlon and possibly before Bella – iirc, it’s during the Winter’s Night events. Of course, the first time reading/listening, you don’t realize it. I could be wrong, but it seems like early seeds of touching the source there and each time, it gets stronger until he realizes it. (Of course, he may have inadvertently done so before whenever he uses the flame & the void trick, especially during the archery events.) Thoughts?

If i knew how to do it, i would have. I would have also liked a Google maps style map. Just don’t know how.

Have you thought about making an animated version? It would be pretty cool to be able to look back and watch the event unfold.
Maybe something like have the pathing move bit by bit with a small amount of interrupting in the corner labeling the current book name.
