![]() Quotes from The Eye of the World![]() And the Shadow fell upon the land, and the world was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was as blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shawdow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon. And it came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died. And men cried out to the Creator, saying, O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised One be born of the mountain, according to the prophecies, as he was in ages past and will be in ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time. |

Moiraine p.135-" Never again did Manethern rise. Its soaring spires and splashing fountains became as a dream that slowly faded from the minds of its people. But they, and their children, and their children's children, held the land that was theirs. They held it when the long centuries had washed the why of it from their memories. They held until, today, there is you. Weep for Manetheren. Weep for what is lost forever." |

Moiraine p.274-"It was called Aridhol. In the days of the Trolloc Wars, it was an ally of Manetheren. Later Aridhol died, and this place was called by another name, Shadar Logoth. It is called Shadar Logoth. Narration p.284-"Suddenly Rand realized what had been nagging at him about the man. The scattered torches in the hallway had given each of them a ring of shadows, just as the torches in the treasure room did. Only...He was so shocked he sait it out loud. 'You don't have a shadow.'" Moiraine p.288/9-"Late in the Trolloc Wars, an army camped within these ruins-Trollocs, Darkfriends, Myrddrall, Dreadlords, thousands in all. When they did not come out, scouts were sent inside the walls. The scouts found weapons, bits of armor, and blood splattered everywhere. And messages scratched on walls in the Trolloc tonuge, calling on the Dark One to save them in their last hour. Men who came later found no trace of the blood or the messages. They had been scoured away. Halfmen and Trollocs remember still. That is what keeps them outside this place." Moiraine p.290-"How the armies of Manetheren came to avenge Caar and found the gates of Aridhol torn down, no living theing inside the walls, but something worse than death. No enemy had come to Ardhol but Aridhol. Suspicion and hate had given birth to something that fed on that which created it, something locked in the bedrock on which the city stood. Mashador waits still, hungering. Men spoke of Aridhol no more. They named it Shadar Logoth, The Place Where the Shadow Waits." |

He could not say in what direction. At first he thought it was his imagination, but with time he became sure. It'll be good to feel the wind again, even if it's cold. Suddenly he blinked.

The Pattern is forming a Web, Lord Agelmar, but the final shape of the Web is not yet set. It may yet entangle the world, or unravel and set The Wheel to a new weaving. At this point even small things can change the shape of the Web. At this point I am wary of small things out of the ordinary." |
