What places would you want to visit we never got to see?

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.

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.

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 ;)

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 :).

"Canada. That's the Blight!" - Nae'blis, 2022 Wow, he said it

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.

*_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 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...

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.

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.

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.

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’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!

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!"

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.

All the best to Brian

Always wanted to see what was going on in the land of madmen

This is a great list. Would love to have seen more of the Seanchan Empire and Shara as well.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Dude the message on your white-board is friggin' hilarious. I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the video or the message XD

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!

Thank you for the video, Nae’blis.

Of course there are no brothels in Randland, in every nation, if you try to visit a "house of leisure," you get a spanking.

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.

Thank you for this video!

Very good and thoughtful idea!

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 ;-)

One of your best videos. Are there any good fan fictions covering any of these?

Yay! New episode.

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...

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.

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.

"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. 😂😂😂

I love content like this exploring places that don't get book time

Nine Horse Hitch was RJs joke for a brothel.

The Trollocs just eat each other i would assume. Just make sure the headcount in enough for your army and food.

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

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!

Seanchan and Shara are the two places we never got to see that we should have visited in the books :/

I’d like to backpack the Mountains of Mist.

When do we get to see the jumara and carnivorous trees? I want more monsters!

Deven ride , the new Maldives of Randland.

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.

I think “the town” was in the blight? Where the red-masked aiel and wolf slayer are from?

I'd still like to see North Harbour.....

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!

The great rift sounds more like Valles Marineris (2500mi long, 4mi deep). Is WoT set on Mars? :-)

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.

The Great Rift? Only by Raken~

I'm surprised the dark one's taint didn't make the list.

Thank you. Love this kind of content instead of anything to do with the series on Amazon. Very interesting.

If you want a fantasy great rift description, try the Godwars trilogy

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 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.

Seafolk islands?

The Great Blight looks like a lego design built by a 5 year old.

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 😉😅

And definitely no desire to see Seanchan

Nae’blis, you got hair for bells, you just gotta get a little creative..

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.

Why in the hell are you showing footage of that abomination of a show that wears a skin suit of WoT in your videos?
