[Wot-l] A question...(a little off topic--hope you don't mind)

[Josh Davis]

My biggest question is how Jain could have traveled as far as he has, and done everything that he has done, and still be alive after the book has had so long to gain fame. It seemed to be nearly a classic when it was spoken of in the first few books, so how could he still be alive? Does that make any sense?
Thanks,
Josh

  I have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of the books, if you'd like to ask me rather than waiting for John to finish.  That goes for anyone, actually...

    John,
    Would you be willing to share you study with us when you are finished? Or are you just trying get facts straight? I have about a million questions about Jain/Noal, but I have no time to go back through all of the books. I am very curious to see what you come up with, and to see if it answers any of my questions. 
    Thanks,
    Josh

      I don't think anyone's relationship with the Encyclopaedia is friendly enough that we could just copy what they have there, if that's what you're getting at.  Though their chapter and character summaries are very detailed in some ways, there is a lot that could be added to them... 

      I would say that, if we're going to be doing character and chapter summaries, that we should cover things that are noticeably absent in their summaries - not that it would be necessary to avoid duplicating what they have.  We just don't want to be redundant.  I would also suggest an external link to their summary at the bottom of each wiki page, but I haven't yet figured out a way to link individual pages within the Encyclopaedia - each internal page has the same url.  Perhaps someone with more general computer knowledge could help with that - and there should be no issue with the Encyclopaedia's copyright by making external links to their pages.

        Okay.  Thank you Terez.  You are right.  It took me about five minutes to find the same information, and it took me that long because I was unfamiliar with the site.

        How friendly is our relationship with that site?

          For future reference, the Encyclopaedia WoT is extremely helpful in finding where things happened.  There are chapter summaries, and there are also character summaries - with a character such as Noal who hasn't done a great deal, it would have been a matter of extreme simplicity to look at his character summary and see where the conversation took place.

            I am doing a personal study of Jain Farstrider, also known as Jain Charin and considered by some to be Noal Charin.  In Knife of Dreams, Mat and Thom finally agree to mount a rescue with some third person to free Moiraine from the Aelfinn. If my memory serves me right, I believe that third person to be Noal Charin, but I would like to confirm that.  Does anyone know what chapter Mat and Thom have that discussion in?
