About usEdit

Welcome to A Wheel of Time Wiki, the free, unofficial repository of The Wheel of Time material that anyone can edit.

In this New Tongue version, started on October 17th, 2005, we are currently working on 5,532 articles.

We aspire to be a definitive unofficial source of plot summaries, character information, FAQs, glossary of terms, theories, and perhaps even fan fiction, parodies, etc.

At this early stage, how near or far we come to reaching this goal is partly up to you! So if you've read the books, please feel free to jump in and start contributing. You should also sign up for our email discussion list.

Spread the word of Robert Jordan's bestselling series by buying the first book, The Eye of the World for a friend or family member that hasn't read the series.
