The Wheel of Time Collection

Zwischen den Resten von Kalimar's altem DRoSI habe ich folgendes Backup des Wheel of Time-Hintergrundmaterials gefunden, das ich Interessierten unter Euch hier zu Verfügung stellen möchte (Rad der Zeit ist ein klasse Fantasy-Zyklus von Robert Jordan). Die Links mit schwarzen Punkten sind lokale Dateien. Grüße, Dogio.

FAQs and Resources

If you haven't already read the FAQs (lists of Frequently Asked Questions), you should start with them.

The Wheel of Time FAQ represents approximately 3 years of discussion about the books. If you've never read it, do so now! It greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the series when I read it.
The rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan group FAQ contains basic guidelines and suggestions for participating in newsgroup discussion. Take a look at it before you post.

Other Archive Sites on the Web

Many Robert Jordan fans have built their own archives of information about the Wheel of Time series.
Let's start with two good indexes:

Kate Touhey is making an index of character information from the series. It looks pretty useful for answering those questions such as, "Where have we seen this person before?"

John Novak's Jordan page hosts his gallery of Wheel of Time fan art, the rasfwrj newsgroup FAQ, and the results of his last newsgroup survey.
