Ikke drep meg om det er dårlig
Environment:
The environment in The wheel of time can be everything from a huge city, to a beautiful forest as far from humans as possible. In the beginning of the book we are in a small village with an environment not much different from how it is here in Norway. You have the classic trees, grass, flowers and temperature. It’s also a lot of snow there in the winter. The place is named the two rivers, and the village Emond’s field. Around the two rivers there are three other villages. A usual day in the two rivers meant up at dawn, work on the farm to sunset, for then eat and og to bed. They are hardworking and stubborn people. As the story grows, we go further north in the world Jordan made. As we go further the environment changes to the colder. The environment changes constantly as we see small city’s like Baerlon and big city’s like Camelyn. The surroundings can be everything from the dark off a waygate to the happy cheers off an inn. As the surroundings changes the people do to. We meet people with dark minds and people of honour, and light.
There is too much to tell about, so I have picked out some places that I’m gonna tell about.
Baerlon: Baerlon is a small city just above The two rivers. It lays with it’s left side against the mountains of mist. The city is surrounded by a twenty meter high wall of wood. Outside it’s walls it is a lot of farms. This is the first city the main characters from the Two rivers ever sees. It lays in Andor.
Caemlyn: Caemlyn is the capital in Andor, that The two rivers and Baerlon lays in. The queen is named Morgase Trakand. Her daughter is named Elayne Trakand, her son Gawyn Trakand. Her advisor is a Aes Sedai named Elaida, from the red Ajah. Her old lover was Thom Merillin.
Caemlyn is a huge city with many hundred thousands people living in it.
Caemlyn has three sets of walls, and is considered very safe. Her people is a happy people, that loves there queen. The city’s houses is made of red and grey stone.
Fal Dara: Fal Dara is a border city. The border lands lay at the border of the Bligth. The Bligth is where all the shadow spawn lives. They fight a never ending war against the shadow. It’s one of the biggest city’s in the country of Shienar.
The Lord of Fal Dara is named, Lord Agelmar. When inside of the city it’s not allowed to have a hood on or cover your face. If not you will be immediately killed or worse. The reason is simple; if a fade have their hood down you can see their eyeless face. It’s a people that have been learned up to fight the shadow.
The city is built up like a fortress. Its many walls constructed for one thing; Defence. It has a strong army and is able to send out over 70 000 soldiers for war.
Shadar Logoth: The city goes under the name Shadar Logoth, but it’s actually name is Aridhol. It once was the capital of a huge country with the same name.
A man with the name Mordeth came to the city in an age long forgotten. As clever as he was, he made his way all the way to become the kings personal chancellor.
The city soon fall under for something people thought was the shadow. Soon there where no living creature left there. The shadow too thought that the city was under the shadow so they sent army’s there to camp before moving to the battle that was fought against the light. The army never came out, and the spy’s that where sent to investigate it, only found weapons, and a prayer to the dark one to come and save them, written in blood on the walls.
Since then nobody either good or bad has walked the beautiful, but doomed city.
The Bligth: The bligth is where the shadow spawn lives. To travel in the bligth is not an option, as the result off such an act may very well get yourself killed.
The few who travel to the bligth com for only one reason, and that is to dye or fight. As it lays long north, it should be freezing there, but the longer in inn the Blight the warmer it becomes. The landscape is in a twisted evil shape. The trees that are there look twisted, dead and evil. There are very many plants there, but not the usual roses and flowers. As every thing else the plants look twisted. The only sign of life, comes by howls off The dark one’s creatures when they are near or going to attack.
