The Fourth Ta'veren - The Wheel of Time Book 1 The Eye of the World Chapters 45-49 Review

We review Chapters 45-49 in Book One of The Wheel of Time - The Eye of the World! The heroes barely escape the Ways and Machin Shin, then make their way to Fal Dara. At Far Dara they rest and prepare to enter the dreaded Blight and to find the Green Man and The Eye of the World! We discuss the Ways and Machin Shin and how the taint of saidin has corrupted the Ways. We speculate on what Machin Shin is and where it came from. We talk about Lan Mandragoran and how the Borderlanders revere him and why they keep asking him if the Golden Crane will fly again? We discuss The Blight and how it came to be. Also the Green Man and who he is and how he was created in the Age of Legends by the Aes Sedai and how the Green Men, the Nym, worked side by side with the Ogier. We discuss Padan Fain and how he has been following the group since they left the Two Rivers! This guy just won't give up!
