This "Raw Glossary" expanded through the first seven books; I then turned its care and maintenance over to Maria Simons and the stalwart Alan Romanczuk.This is not an extension, or an update, to the earlier reference called The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. Instead, this is an alphabetized adjunct that will allow the reader to check on characters, locations, herbs, kinship structures, and many other things that appear in the series.To those new to The Wheel of Time, though, we offer the following warning: there are SPOILERS in here! In fact, this volume might be called The Big Book of Spoilers, because there are so many of them.
