The Eye of the World - Prologue | Dragonmount

[@kalaldin9154]

The voice for this clip is Michael Kramer. He along with his wife Kate Reading do the audio versions of all of the Wheel of Time books. The music is not part of the audio books, but a very nice enhancement here.

Such an EPIC introduction that leaves you with so many questions and a desperate desire for answers. Then as you read and reflect on this moments, those answers are oh so satisfying.

[@shadowsaiyan]

Yes! I send this prologue to anyone I'm introducing the WOT series to. If this doesn't get them interested, nothing will. It's amazing.

[@CFkatehudson]

I love this prologue it's such that a man can feel his soul wrenched with great redemptive agony with tears flooding his face.

[@alb0zfinest]

I wish the beginning soundtrack for the prologue wasn't removed. That was genuinely some of the most beautiful and mysterious composition i have ever heard.

[@PerfectCell9]

This prologue is epic beyond epic and it’s the thing that drew me into this series, I read this and was like “ Welp, now I gotta read em all “

[@DarkBishop342]

one of the most epic moments in WoT for me is when Rand strolled into the white tower to talk to his friend Egwene late in the series. I won't say more to spoil anything for readers who haven't got that far.

[@ryanlott1108]

For me it was the moment the taint becomes too much and the madness takes him, and he becomes the dragon reborn in truth. His final breaking point was so heartbreaking and at the same time it was the culmination of all the events and hopes of the preceding books. Such a moment of conflicting emotions. Edit: sorry for the spoils, I tried to keep it vague but that's literally my favorite moment in the whole series

[@DarkBishop342]

@@ryanlott1108 Do you remember which book/chapter you are referring? I would love to revisit that. Thanks.

[@justintremblay3182]

Theyl never be able to give proper credit to the extreme high quality of WoT in any retelling of the story. This is easily one of the best fantasy prologues ever made. I'm on book 9 now but I always listen to this prologue as I start a new book. Such an amazing audio reading, doubly so with the epic background music. Let the prince of the morning sing to the land!

[@7slavok]

I can't believe they cut this in the Amazon series. It's a perfect introduction to the story, setting the mood and the stakes in ways that the Two Rivers folks preparing for a festival never could.

[@MSpotatoes]

This prologue is one of my favorite parts of the whole series. It really sets the tone for everything.

[@GiSoxfan]

You know, I've hated the prologue when I first read it. It was the first fantasy I ever read and I was completely lost. I skipped it on re-reads because I remembered not liking it. Decided to give this clip a listen. I have a new appreciation for it now. The context from having competed the series a few times makes it so epic. Btw, the music in the clip defintly adds something special to it.

[@333PatA333]

Huh, I loved the prologue when I first read it, it's what initially consumed me within the story.

[@GiSoxfan]

@@333PatA333 if WoT wasn't the first fantasy I ever read, I may have loved the prologue. It was just a lot to take in for a first time fantasy reader. I love it now though.

[@Dave3Dman]

Im recommending to non readers of the series who are watching the amazon adaptation to at least listen to this at some point after they have watched a few episodes. Maybe after 3rd episode would be a good spot.

[@carolbriscoe9337]

A powerful reading! Thank you. I could envision the world as you spoke. Since it was announced there will be a series of The Age of Legends, this has to be the ending scenes. Thank you again

I haven't read the books and enjoy the amazon tv series (I wouldnt say its good though). This prologue has more emotion, tension and attention gripping material in it than the whole season and a half of the tv show so far 😂

[@spencervance8484]

You got most of the prologue, all the important parts anyway

[@WheelOfTimeAudioClips]

Yes I agree, I really didn’t like the fact they left this out it would of been epic 🙏

[@JimBob4233]

I think it'll be the opening for the first episode of Series 2. They've built in the context to understand what's going on, and it'll add to Rand's characterisation.

It's pathetic that Aes Sedai didn't try to heal men's madness. All it took was Nynaeve taking a little time out of her vague schedule

[@doomdrake123]

Well, in their defence, the male aes sedai that were already mad were dangerously powerful. Should they have been investigating the taint in the weaker men, as the one that created the eye of the world? Yes.

[@JP-ee2tc]

@@doomdrake123 yes

[@bobmularky7456]

Probably because they were too busy being killed.

[@olorin3815]

Tbh nyneave can also heal severing, burning out or whatever, its not like they didnt try they just didnt know how apparently nyneave is just a natural at healing to the point of deus ex machina

[@olorin3815]

Also even if they could heal their maddness they would simply go mad again eventually from the taint it would require constant healing and idk how well that could hold up, as for investigatint taint thats just stupid they would go mad themselves
