Trolloc Wars - Wheel of Time Lore DOCUMENTARY 

This is so damn good!

The Trolloc Wars are definitely one of my favorite pieces of lore from the series, I wish we learned even more about them in the books.

So freaking good. Robert Jordan built such an amazing world with awesome history.

This is better than the Amazon wheel of time series! please continue the amazing lore!

It's a bout time the wheel of time series got the love it deserved

Top-notch animation! 😁 Especially the military movements! (big surprise /s) Lots of stuff in this video I didn't know (I haven't read the whole Companion). Some thoughts: 1:50 and 18:21 'Aiel' is both single and plural and a loan word from the Old Tongue. 'Aiels' is not a word. 2:10 That no one was able to unite humanity in this time frame does not mean no one wanted to. 2:40 Not a correction, but an elaboration: note that the term 'ajah' dates from the Age of Legends and IIRC the concept of Ajahs as they exist in the Third Age predates the White Tower - both the organization and the physical structure. A correction, not elaboration: Ajahs do not have different tasks, but different focuses. Blues will track down channeling men even though the Reds primarily do so. Greys will Heal despite that being a Yellow focus, etc. 'Task' implies a duty imposed on them from above, but I don't think there's any evidence of that. They're more the pursuit of the shared interests of the Ajah members (which over time gives rise to Ajah rules and traditions, etc.). 4:40 Worth mentioning that another key characteristic of some early Third Age construction is the use of the Power in the construction process (e.g. the White Tower itself). 9:20 Referring to Shadowspawn armies as "force/army/etc of Blight" is unconventional if not incorrect. You could say "army of *the* Blight", but "army of the Shadow" would be more typical. 12:10 Is "left" on the map North? If not, then the geography is off. 14:12 I may be wrong, but I always understood the Shadowspawn army to have crossed the Tarendrelle under fire. That is, it was a contested crossing mid-battle, not a crossing elsewhere that later led to engagement near the bridge remains. 16:44 "A Shai'tan" makes no sense. Shai'tan is the name of the Dark One, not a category of creature or a particular role or something like that. 18:06 (captions) 'Myrddraal' has two Ds and two As, not two Rs. This one can and imho should be fixed. Tai'shar Wizards and Warriors!

I love that you're doing this, and the Kings & Generals narration style is great here as well. One point of feedback: I have the utmost respect for Devin, who is doing an excellent job as always, but give the man some help! He can't be expected to read the entire series, but help him get the feel across with some information! Minor accuracies (like misnaming Manetheren's capital) or guesswork don't matter that much, but giving Devin some pointers is easy and a vast improvement. Things like saying "THE One Power" instead of "One Power", or pronouncing the word Aiel correctly would be a simple and effective upgrade to your series. Wheel of Time is notoriously difficult with pronunciation, but some names are widely accepted, and you guys have at least one person who has read the series and can help with the general lingo. As for the rest, if you don't have time to go through the script with Devin (fair enough), there are pronunciation guides. Even if they get things wrong as well, at least give it a shot and add the respective entries to important names in the script. Despite the rant, I love that you guys are doing this. See you in the next one ;)

Oh boi!!!! Already lookin better than the amazon series!!! Can't wait for the next one... :) Awesome production as always!

I cant wait to watch the last Battle under MAT in this

Looking forward to the video about Arthur Hawkwing

Great episode! I'm looking forward to Hawkwing, the consolidations, and the succeeding war of the hundred years. 😄

Thanks for this! I love the Wheel of Time.

Dreadlords couldn't channel true power. That was honor reserved for the very top level chosen. Even the 13 couldn't always use it, if the dark one didn't feel them worthy at the time

I love seeing the Wheel of Time books getting more attention!

Wizards and warriors ❤️🔥. Love and appreciate your hard work to make these videos. We always know it takes a lot of time and hard work to make these videos. Love and appreciation from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🤝🇺🇸

Imagine hating so much the Evil, at the point of creating more Evil... This is Shadar Logoth.

This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest stories ever told by humankind. Seriously top ten alongside such works as Tolkien's Legenedarium, A Journey to the West, Illiad and Odyssey. Shakespeare wishes he was Robert Jordan. Sanderson's Cosmere, especially the Stormlight Archive, is reaching the same heights but I won't fully judge it until it is over.

This was awesome! I read the books years ago, as they were originally published. Must confess that much of the world's ancient history went beyond me. This video, and the last one, really open Jordan's world in a new way. I am enthused to read them again. Thank you!

This should be a good series.

Fascinating stuff! I've never read the book but have been watching the show on Amazon so this is pretty interesting.

Trolloce and the Ogier are spot on .well done you

I can't begin to express how many times better this is than that Amazon bullcrap.

These video's have been more intertaning. Then the show of Amazon, four episodes in, and not really has happened. Great Video.

I would love to see you guys cover the Chronicles of Amber, by Roger Zelazny.

I really like this channel.

The best video I have watched so far covering the wheel of time 🥺✊

So Ishmael spent 40 years to undo 1000 years of human progress. Well played Forsaken One, well played👏🏽👏🏽And that was just _the one_ General...

Fascinating time in the history of the world of the Wheel of Time. It's a shame we didn't get more of it in the books, but understandable

I have been asking for this since the first vid on this channel. Tyvm

more WOT please! I'm hoping that horrid amazon show may bring people to want to learn about these great books :). My favorite fantasy series in this lifetime.

oh my god you are doing wheel of time :D

Please do a Henry V survives series after you're done with the mongol one

Amazon: the lore was optional

Would be awesome if you could do a history of the “Forgotten Realms” ! Elminster saga or R.A Salvador’s “ Drizzt Do urden “

Excellent video as always. This channel is so great

Whens the next installment of the Alternate History Series coming out?

Love the WOT history vids… I’ve been a book fan for years! Keep up the good content sir. You scratch my itch better than the show lol

I'd say phrasing it "channeling one power" is a bit wrong, it'd be "channeling THE one power". also Aiel is pronounced Eye-eel not Eye-el.

Delaying aid to the most powerful of the 10 kingdoms out of jealousy is utterly shameful. Bit it does show some people, even powerful people, can make terrible decisions. (This was brilliant lore building on my opinion)

Love this! Well done

Really enjoying this series. Thanks

mountains of doom gee how creative

Hmm that map looks pretty familiar I wonder if Robert Jordan had any particular inspirations

Great job guys

Should have put this video out before Amazon made their show. Maybe they’d understand the importance of respecting the lore

Thank you for your first Age and this video

Pls continue Mongol Timeline

Thanks!

Epic video, thank you 👍🙂!!!

Can you do a lore on all of the Amarlyn seats and their greatest feats?

Wow. Thanks for this video. What I've always wondered is what happened to the other continents? The books are supposedly placed on our Earth. Well, we have 7 continents. During the breaking, lands rose and fell. Are we to assume the 6 other continents fell and no longer exist?

drop the next Gondolin video.

0:56 there’s something oddly familiar about this map

Great video . I believe in the books it’s referred to as “THE One Power” not just “One Power”

Yes finally!

So, basically, humans won this war by pure luck, and in spite of themselves. Right?

When is the next alternative history video coming out?

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that Mabriam was never the Amyrlin Seat, she was the Queen of Aramaelle. Aside from that, great video!

You have t o do the Malazan Empire, that one has battles aplenty

Wheels of time could be a good Total War game if they have a decent unit roster :P sort of like Warhammer

"...to channel One Power..."? Clearly, no one at Wizards and Warriors have read a single Wheel of Time book.

what is the origin of Machin Shin?

Tbh I prefer is y'all did hour full lores like previous middle earth ones

Having no choice, she resorted to democracy. Omg! That is so terrible!

Can you guys do some Dungeons and Dragons Lore and also some Warhammer 40k Lore.

Love this

Mabriam en Shereed was not the Amyrlin Seat but Queen of Aramaelle, as well as being an Aes Sedai and ta'veren. She used diplomacy and negotiations to forge the Compact of the Ten Nations and is regarded as the paragon of the Grey Ajah, the Ajah devoted to diplomacy, negotiation and law. No doubt she had the support of the White Tower in her efforts, but she there is no indication that she did so because she 'could not conquer all of the 10 nations.'

When the "side of light" starts getting comfortable in its place as an objective good, they become scarier than any demon king because they have the possibility to know better.

Hopefully we can get a video on Artur Hawkings exploits. Edit: Five minutes later I see the next video is about Hawking.haha

👍👍

You should listen to the audiobook to learn how to say the names. It's kinda weird hearing them pronounced funny. Kinda ruins the video for people who have listened to how Michael Kramer and Kate Reading say them. It's Aye-eel and Moun-etheren.

Poor Aemon, he did so amazing! Condamning a whole population cuz of jealousy, omfg!!!

love it

Eldrene couldve destroyed all of the shadowspawn army if she just ran in to the front lines

The map kinda looks like North Africa

Really weird how names and places are pronounced here. Also, the voice sounds quite robotic. AI?

It's mind boggling that a RU-vid channel can be more accurate to the story and more entertaining than a billion dollar corporation spending 10 million dollars an episode!!! Amazon you played yourself.

Weep for Manetheran

👍🏾

Aiel - Eye-eel

This is riveting stuff, I'm discovering this IP and i can't it's so good and yet the show based upon this work is so boring.

Holy shit

This was better than the show.

4:23 what in the ai art

Bruh

HODL!!!

Like to lore. HATE the map. No logical or Rational thought went into making them mountains.

204

The treachery of women is never to be under estimated. 😈

It just seems miserable. Like no matter how many times Humanity over comes something, they still slide more and more into decay. Which is ridiculous considering the level off technological innovation they had in the First Age. No matter how big a collapse may have been, when you have endless lightbulbs and instant teleportation and magic it should be a matter of decades before everything is fixed back to where it was.

Man good content but holy shit with those pronunciations

regular reminder that the Red Ajah is garbage

Enjoyed the books. Not so much the show.

Ai Sedai was so useless! Due to their stupidity and politicking

Northern westlands should be arid surrounded by mountains and Sharaa should be greener due to the winds patterns. Most humankind has died, theres plenty of free space>Servants of the powerful wizards goes to hellish dessert for no reason. You face an army of minotaurs with no bows. You usually combat them though guerrilla tactics. How do u face them. Horse archers, who are fast and away from their melee weapons? Nah, better spearmen that they can smash easily. The motto that nothing joins more than a common enemy strangely doesnt applies in Aridhol. You face an army who menaces to wipe the continent. Nah, better enable the best army opposing them to die because you envy their queen. Yes, we can deduce how things went in Aiel wastes, trollocs died of thirst. The lore of this franchise is so nonsensical. A critic say this series proof that bad fantasy sells well as long as u plagiarise Tolkien.

Gaaaaaahhh!!! You're mispronounciation of many of the names are killing me!

Man.....nice story but this dude was not imaginative in his naming conventions lol.

The 2nd season is even better than the 1st was

Just never mention the (abomination of a) show and I'll live every one of these videos, the show better be showing a different universe that's not the main universe from the books.... still a bad show but might redeem it some...

Lol im sorry but WoT seems incredibly mid. The map is bland as hell and the naming conventions are uninspired to say the least. I dont really understand why people are interested in this.
