The series draws on numerous elements of both European and Asian mythology, virtually notably the cyclical nature of time found in Buddhism and Hinduism, the metaphysical concepts of balance and duality, and a respect for nature found in Taoism, the Abrahamic concepts of God or Satan and Leo Tolstoy'southward War and Peace (1869).[three]

Setting [edit]

The series is gear up in an unnamed world that, due to the cyclical nature of time as depicted in the series, is simultaneously the distant past and the afar future Globe. The Randlands or the Globe of the Wheel are names adopted by fans to refer to the world where The Cycle of Fourth dimension takes place, and are derived from the name of the central character, besides every bit section of the companion volume The World of Robert Jordan'southward The Wheel of Time.

Premise [edit]

At the dawn of time, a deity known as the Creator forged the universe and the Wheel of Time, which spins the Blueprint of the Ages using the lives of men and women as its threads. The Wheel has seven spokes, each representing an age, and it is rotated by the One Power, which flows from the True Source. The One Power is divided into male and female halves, saidin and saidar, which work in opposition and in unison to drive the Wheel. Humans who can use its power are known every bit channelers; the principal arrangement of such channelers in the books is called the Aes Sedai or "Servants of All" in the Onetime Natural language.

The Creator imprisoned its antithesis, "Shai'tan," the Dark 1, at the moment of cosmos, sealing him away from the Wheel. However, in a time called the Age of Legends, an Aes Sedai experiment inadvertently breached the Night One'south prison house, assuasive his influence to seep back into the earth. He rallied the powerful, the corrupt, and the ambitious to his crusade and these servants began an effort to costless the Dark One fully from his prison, so he might remake time and reality in his own image. In response to this threat, the Bike spun out the Dragon, a channeler of immense power, to be a champion for the Light. In the Age of Legends, the Dragon was a man named Lews Therin Telamon, who somewhen rose to command the Aes Sedai and their allies in the struggle confronting the Dark One's forces. Afterwards a grueling x-twelvemonth war, Lews Therin led his forces to victory in a daring assault on the volcano of Shayol Ghul (the site of the earthly link to the Dark 1'south prison) and was able to seal off the Nighttime I'south prison. However, at the moment of victory, the Dark One was able to taint saidin, driving male person channelers of the One Power insane. Lews Therin killed his friends and family and then, by intentionally overloading himself with the One Ability, killed himself. The other male channelers devastated the globe with the One Ability, unleashing earthquakes and tidal waves that reshaped the world. Eventually, the last male channeler was killed or cut off from the One Power, leaving the human race all but destroyed and merely women able to wield the One Power safely. The Aes Sedai reconstituted and guided humanity out of this dark time. Mankind at present lived under the shadow of a prophecy that the Dark One would break free from his prison and the Dragon would be reborn to fight him once more, and although he is humanity's only hope to succeed confronting the Nighttime One, he would devastate the world a 2d fourth dimension in the process.

Over the next 3 and a one-half yard years, the homo race returns to a level of engineering science roughly comparable to that of the Tardily Middle Ages or Early Modernistic Era, with differences similar a college level of general pedagogy and understanding of hygiene and anatomy, but an almost complete lack of formal science, industrial production, and academic institutions. This tin be traced to the post-apocalyptic nature of the world, where much knowledge has survived, but the structures and institutions that made that noesis possible have non. One major difference is that women bask full equality with men in most societies, and are superior in some. This is put down to the power and influence of the female-just Aes Sedai spilling over into everyday life.

Several major wars have ravaged the main continent since the defeat of the Dark One, such equally the Trolloc Wars when the surviving servants of the Nighttime One tried to destroy civilization once more but were defeated past an alliance of nations led past the Aes Sedai; and the State of war of the Hundred Years, a devastating civil war that followed the fall of a continent-spanning empire ruled by the High male monarch, Artur Hawkwing. These wars have prevented the homo race from regaining the ability and high technology of the Age of Legends and also left humanity divided. Fifty-fifty the prestige of the Aes Sedai has fallen, with their shrinking numbers and the emergence of organizations such as the Children of the Light, a armed forces order who hold that all who dabble with the I Power are servants of the Shadow. The nations of the mod era are able to unite confronting the warrior-clans of the Aiel, who cross into the western kingdoms on a mission of vengeance later they suffer a grievous insult, simply are also divided to work effectively together in other areas.[a]

Plot summary [edit]

The prequel novel, New Bound, takes identify during the Aiel State of war and chronicles the end of the conflict and the discovery past the Aes Sedai that the Prophecies of the Dragon have been fulfilled and the Dragon has been Reborn. Aes Sedai agents are dispatched to endeavour and discover the newborn child earlier servants of the Shadow can do the aforementioned.

The serial proper commences virtually 20 years later in the Two Rivers commune of the kingdom of Andor, a near-forgotten backwater. A young sheep herder named Rand al'Thor (the series protagonist) and his father Tam al'Thor travel to the nearby boondocks of Emond'south Field to deliver cider. Rand, keen to further explore his romance with the mayor's girl, Egwene al'Vere, becomes caught up with an Aes Sedai called Moiraine Damodred, and her Warder, Lan, afterwards his father sustains a serious wound. Rand and his friends, Matrim "Mat" Cauthon and Perrin Aybara discover from Moiraine that servants of the Nighttime One are searching for one particular swain living in the surface area. Unfortunately, Moiraine is unable to determine which of iii men it is: Rand himself, Mat, or Perrin, and so takes all three of them out of the 2 Rivers district along with his romantic interest Egwene (whom Moiraine has adamant tin channel the One Ability and would teach to be Aes Sedai) and the village "Wisdom" (a local healer) Nynaeve al'Meara later a terrible battle with creatures created by The Night Ane. The first novel depicts their flying from various agents of the Shadow and their attempts to escape to the Aes Sedai city of Tar Valon.

From so, the story expands and protagonist Rand, as well as the other characters, are frequently carve up into different groups, pursuing dissimilar missions or agendas aimed at furthering the cause of the Dragon Reborn, sometimes thousands of miles apart. Broadly speaking, the original group of characters from the Two Rivers brand new allies, gain experience, and go figures of some influence and potency. Every bit they struggle to unite the western kingdoms confronting the Dark 1's forces, their job is complicated by rulers of the nations who refuse to give up their authority and by factions such equally the Children of the Light, who do not believe in the prophecies, and the Seanchan, the people of a long-lost colony of Artur Hawkwing'south empire across the western ocean who take returned, believing it is their destiny to conquer the earth. The Aes Sedai too get divided between those who believe the Dragon Reborn should be strictly controlled and those who believe he must lead them into battle as he did in the earlier war. Equally the story expands, new characters representing different factions are introduced; although this expansion of the narrative allows the sheer scale of the growing struggle to be effectively depicted, it has been criticized for slowing the stride of the novels and sometimes reducing the appearances of the original or main cast to extended cameos.

Past the eleventh novel, it has become clear that the Concluding Battle, caused when the Dark I is able to exert its influence straight on the globe once more than, is imminent. The Terminal Battle is depicted in the fourteenth and concluding novel in the series, A Memory of Light.[a]

Short stories [edit]

Jordan wrote ii short stories within the franchise in the late 1990s. The start, The Strike at Shayol Ghul, predates the principal serial by several one thousand years. It was made available on the Cyberspace and was afterward published in The World of Robert Jordan's The Cycle of Time.[25] Jordan as well wrote a brusk story entitled New Spring, for the 1998 Legends album edited by Robert Silverberg. Jordan after expanded this into the stand-alone novel New Spring that was published in January 2004.

During Brandon Sanderson's piece of work on A Memory of Light, 2 sections of the volume were cut and afterward published as short stories in anthologies. The commencement, River of Souls, was published in Unfettered: Tales by Masters of Fantasy (2013).[26] The 2nd, A Burn Within the Means was published in Unfettered Three in 2019. Different "River of Souls", "A Fire Within the Ways" is not considered canon.[27]

Encyclopedic works [edit]

Tor Books published a companion book to the series, entitled The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, in November 1997, which contains much hitherto unrevealed background information about the series including the first maps of the entire world and the Seanchan home continent. Jordan co-authored the book with Teresa Patterson. Jordan ruled the book broadly canonical simply stated that information technology was written from the perspective of an historian within The Wheel of Time universe and was decumbent to errors of bias and guesswork.[28]

On Nov 3, 2015, The Wheel of Time Companion: The People, Places, and History of the Bestselling Serial was released in hardback format, written by Harriet McDougal, Alan Romanczuk, and Maria Simons from Tor Books. Alan Romanczuk and Maria Simons were Robert Hashemite kingdom of jordan's editorial assistants. The book is an encapsulating glossary of the entire series. The authors began compiling material for the book as early equally 2005, and the final volume was released after the series' conclusion.[29] [30]

Origins of The Wheel of Fourth dimension by Michael Livingston is scheduled to be released on November 8, 2022.[31]

Development [edit]

Writing and conception [edit]

In the early 1980s, Robert Hashemite kingdom of jordan wrote several Conan the Barbaric novels for Tor Books, including a novelization of the movie Conan the Destroyer. These proved successful, and in 1984 he proposed an idea for an ballsy fantasy serial of three books to Tom Doherty, the head of Tor Books.[one] Doherty approved the idea; however, knowing that Jordan had a tendency to go long, he put Jordan on contract for half dozen books but in case. Jordan began writing the novel that became The Middle of the World.[one]

The novel proved extremely difficult to write because characters and storylines changed considerably during the writing process. The series was originally centered on an older man who discovered relatively late in life that he was the 'called one' who had to salvage the world. However, Jordan deliberately decided to move closer to the tone and style of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Band and made the characters younger and less experienced.[32] Once this decision had been fabricated, writing proceeded much more easily and Jordan completed the second book, The Great Hunt, at roughly the aforementioned time the first book was published.[33]

The combined hardcover and trade paperback run of the novel sold out of its initial 40,000-strong print run. Sales then doubled with the publication of the 2d novel just eight months later generating more involvement in the first book.[1]

Jordan wrote full-time at breakneck speed for the next several years until he completed the seventh volume, A Crown of Swords, at which point he slowed downwardly, delivering a book every 2 years. Fans objected when he took some fourth dimension off to expand a short story into a prequel novel called New Spring, and so he decided to shelve his plans for boosted prequels in favor of finishing off the last two volumes in the series. He rejected criticisms of the afterwards volumes of the series slowing downward in step in gild to concentrate on minor secondary characters at the expense of the main characters from the opening volumes but acknowledged that his structure for the 10th volume, Crossroads of Twilight (where he showed a major scene from the prior volume, Winter's Heart, from the perspective of the primary characters that were not involved in the scene), had not worked out as he had planned.[ citation needed ] Knife of Dreams, the eleventh volume, had a much more positive reception from critics and fans alike and Hashemite kingdom of jordan announced the twelfth book, which he had previously appear would have the working title A Memory of Light, would conclude the series. Co-ordinate to Forbes, Jordan had intended for information technology to exist the final volume "even if it reaches 2,000 pages."[34]

Hashemite kingdom of jordan's decease, and completion by Sanderson [edit]

Jordan was diagnosed with the final centre disease chief amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy in Dec 2005,[35] and while he intended to cease at least A Memory of Lite even if the "worse comes to worst,"[36] he made preparations in example he was non able to complete the book: "I'm getting out notes, so if the worst actually happens, someone could finish A Memory of Light and have it end the fashion I want it to cease."[34]

With Hashemite kingdom of jordan'south death on September 16, 2007, the conclusion of the series was in question. On December vii, of that twelvemonth the publisher Tor Books appear that fantasy author Brandon Sanderson was to end A Memory of Light.[37] Sanderson, a longtime fan of the series,[38] was called by Jordan's widow Harriet McDougal partly considering she liked Sanderson's novels and partly because of a eulogy he had written for Hashemite kingdom of jordan.[39] [forty]

On March xxx, 2009, Tor Books announced that A Retentiveness of Lite would be split into three volumes, with Brandon Sanderson citing timing and continuity reasons. By his approximate in early 2009, the book would have taken several years to write and would have reached 800,000 words. McDougal doubted that Hashemite kingdom of jordan could have concluded it in a single book.[41] [42] [43] The iii volumes were published from 2009 to 2013, as The Gathering Storm, Towers of Midnight, and A Retentivity of Low-cal, with the last book using Hashemite kingdom of jordan'due south title.[44]

Later A Memory of Low-cal [edit]

Prior to his expiry, Hashemite kingdom of jordan had often discussed adding an additional two prequels and an 'outrigger' sequel trilogy. In a Q&A following the release of A Retention of Light, Sanderson ruled out the completion of these works; Jordan had left very little in the mode of notes for these additional novels – but ii sentences in the case of the sequel trilogy.[45]

Sanderson went on to release two cutting portions of A Retention of Light as short stories. These were released in Unfettered anthologies, part of a charitable endeavour to support authors and artists with medical debt.[46] River of Souls, a approved segment removed from the published book due to pacing, was released in the first volume in 2013. A Fire in the Means, a non-canon alternating sequence of events effectually the climax of the concluding book, was included in the third volume in 2019. A glossary to the serial, The Bike of Time Companion was released in 2015.

Themes and influences [edit]

The Bicycle of Time is a novel from the modern fantasy genre, specifically loftier fantasy. The volume is ready in a globe that is simultaneously the distant past and distant futurity of the real world, as a effect of time being cyclical rather than linear. The opening of the first volume establishes the concept:

The Wheel of Fourth dimension turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Fable fades to myth, and fifty-fifty myth is long forgotten when the Historic period that gave it birth comes once more. In one Age, called the Third Age past some, an Age even so to come, an Age long past, a wind rose...

Hashemite kingdom of jordan best-selling the influence of J. R. R. Tolkien, including deliberately modelling the setting of the first capacity on the Shire in The Lord of the Rings.[47] [48] Concepts drawn from Abrahamic religions include the duality between good and evil and betwixt "Creator" (Light) and Shai'tan, "The Night One" (Shaitan is an Arabic discussion that, in Islamic contexts, is used equally a name for the Devil or Satan). Other influences include Rex Arthur, Norse mythology and Irish gaelic mythology, as well every bit real life history.[49] [fifty]

In add-on, in Jordan also drew influences from Eastern mythology, which was rare for a Western fantasy series.[51] The concept of a cycle of fourth dimension was fatigued from Hinduism[52] Versions of the concept include the Yuga bike in Hinduism and Kalachakra in Buddhism. The series was also influenced by the concepts of reincarnation and residuum, and the symbol of the Aes Sedai resembles the yin and yang.

Fate is an important theme to the serial. The series explores in corking particular the implications of a common fantasy premise, in which an ordinary boy on the verge of adulthood discovers he is fated to lead a major struggle.[53] It also deals with the carve up between fate and free volition. Some major characters are ta'veren, who accept exceptional abilities to influence the grade of history in a tumultuous menstruation, but even they can only get and then far as permitted by "The Pattern" that is being prepare past the Wheel of Time.

The series also featured culling portrayals of the role of gender in social club. The nature of magic in its globe ways that only women can safely use it. This disparity influences the power dynamics at multiple levels of its societies, including familial, communal and political levels; many of its societies are ruled past women.[54]

When asked in a 2013 interview about whether the comics would continue their run, Harriet McDougal replied "Well, somewhen, [we'll] do the whole thing, unless it stops selling in a dreadful way. In other words, I don't really know."[61] The 43 New Spring and Heart of the World comics were later collected together and released as a series of six graphic novels, the final of which was released in February 2015.[62]
