...and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.
Robert Jordan: October 17, 1948 – September 16, 2007
As someone who has been reading his WOT series since 1991, I am saddened by his passing and the end of the world he created. The rumor is that he dictated and outlined the last book before his death but it remains to be seen. Regardless, a Vietnam vet and a great author was taken too early from us yesterday. May he rest in peace.
