Its popularity is immense; its quality is dazzling. And its world has indeed taken on a fictive reality for its millions of readers. In The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, more than fourscore full-color paintings include stunning maps of the world, portraits of the central characters, landscapes, objects of power, and national flags. The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time introduces elements that will provide glimpses into the past and the future of the Wheel of Time. The reader will learn about the exotic beasts used by the Seanchan, read of the rise and fall of Artur Hawking, and peruse the deeper story of the War of the Shadow. Here is the tale of the founding of the White Tower and the creation of the Ajahs. The inner workings of the closed country, Shara, are revealed, as is the existence of a hitherto unknown continent called The Land of the Madmen. This stunning volume also includes doublepage spreads of the first seven book jackets by Darrell K. Sweet, so that the art can be enjoyed without the type, and all known maps of the world, including maps of the Seanchan Empire, the nations of the Covenant of the Ten Nations, and the nations as they were when Artur Paendrag Tanreall began his rise to legend. Every Robert Jordan fan needs this book.
