Possible destinations:
  • Citadel - Library (Above pictures are in a display to the left of the entrance as you enter)
  • Citadel - Archives (Didn't visit this time, but I hope to return with a scanner at some point.)
  • Ogier Street - sadly very short and very devoid of trees
  • White Point Garden - Inspiration for Ogier groves/stedding
  • The Tradd street house - I won't publish the address, but I will say I was able to find it in public records using only the names of well-known WoT figures
Thank you so much for sharing!

Also that last one... :rofl:

Welcome! I’m also in NC, Durham specifically.

The dragon gates are so cool! For this site’s 10th anniversary party, we went to Charleston and were lucky enough to get to tour Jordan’s home and office. Harriet was very generous in allowing us access, and it was so amazing to see his very very extensive library.

I used to live in Durham.

That sounds amazing.

Welcome to Tar Valon.
I love this:
As I look through the valley of Tarwin's Gap

Eye spy the Shadow force and see a horde of saps

And that's just perfect for a Dragon like me

You know, I kill Shadowspawn with much alacrity

At 4:30 in the morning I'm shearing sheep

Papa Tam mends the fences and Bela plows... fool

And I've been shearin' and plowin' so long that

Even Egwene thinks that my mind is full of wool

Perrin's a man of the land, he's into discipline

Got a Faile across his lap and a beard on his chin

And if we finish all of our chores and you finish thine

Then tonight we're gonna party like it's flaming Bel Tine

We been spending most our lives

Living in a shepherd's paradise

I've Flamed the Void once or twice

Living in a shepherd's paradise

It's hard work and sacrifice

Living in a shepherd's paradise

We sell wool at discount price

Living in a shepherd's paradise

A local boy loosed a badger on the Green last week

I just smiled at him 'cause it's mischief that he seeks

I'm not sure I care, and I do wish him well

But I'll be laughing my head off when Wisdom's ringing his bell

Mat hadn't never killed a girl even if she deserved it

The scamp harmin' women? You know that's unheard of!

He bought a cool hat that he'll never misplace

And his rapist loves to say he really looks good in lace... fool

If you come to conquer, you'll be beaten to tears

We haven't even seen a taxman in 200 years

'Cause we ain't Andormen, so please don't try and scare

We're not courageously impaired

There's no Guards, no Friends, no fireworks

Not a single luxury

Unlike Farstrider

It's as pastoral as can be

We been spending most our lives

Living in a shepherd's paradise

We're just plain and simple guys

Living in a shepherd's paradise

There's no time for sin and vice

Living in a shepherd's paradise

We don't fight, but shoot real nice

Living in a shepherd's paradise

Cleanin' up saidin, my half of the Power

With the Choedan Kal, hour after hour

Everybody's fightin', but half of them ain’t tryin'

It's going down to the Logoth, while the Chosen dyin'

They said I had to learn, but was nobody here to teach me

If the birds and fish can't work, how can they reach me?

I guess they can't; I guess they won't

I guess they knelt, that's how they know Asha'man are GOATs, fool

Couldn't spend all our lives

Living in a shepherd's paradise

We're all crazy Manetheren

Living in a shepherd's paradise

It's all chores and Winternight

Living in a shepherd's paradise

But Matrim thinks it bites
Living in a shepherd's paradise

Please feel free to post it in the thread

I've created several parodies myself for The Tower

Converted the Compendium into markdown and JSON files for my own use.

This sounds like me with the big white book when I was younger, ahaha. Welcome!
