Summary of The Eye of the World Too busy to read the whole thing? Then check this out! With respect to Book-A-Minute, this is a bit more detailed. (And less condescending.) Rand: I'm a young lad from a quaint little village. Tam: Yes, you are. Emond's Fielders: Rumors of strange things afoot. Wolves howling. Winds blowing. Trouble a-brewin.' Train comin.' Egwene: Rand al'Thor! What do you think you're doing? Rand: Aw, shucks, hi, Egwene. Moiraine: I am mysterious. You will know all you need to know. The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. Thom: I'm an old juggler with a big white mustache. Trollocs: Oook! Aaak! Errrrr! Moiraine: Come with me, you three. Lan: Don't even know how to fight Shadowspawn. Dumb sheepherders. Rand, Mat, and Perrin: We'll come with you. Egwene: Me too! Weeee! Rand: It might me dangerous. Egwene: Rand al'Thor! You can't tell me what to do! Rand: Maybe you could tell me what this is all about. Moiraine: You will know what you need to know. The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. Rand: Thanks. Egwene: This is scary! Rand al'Thor! You got me into this! Rand: Gee whiz, Egwene. Moiraine: Dreams can be dangerous. Have you all had any scary dreams? Mat: I don't know if we can trust Aes Sedai. Let's keep it a secret. Rand and Perrin: Good idea. Nynaeve: You are dragging them into some Aes Sedai plot! Moiraine: Maybe I should have left them to die in Emond's Field. Nynaeve: We would have been happy that way! Moiraine: DO NOT go out into Shadar Logoth, or touch anything! Mat: Let's go out into Shadar Logoth and touch things! Rand and Perrin: Good idea. Moiraine: That was dangerous. Lan: Don't even know how to fight Mordeth. Dumb farmboys. Egwene: Rand al' Thor! You are a woolhead! Rand: Holy moly, Egwene. Mat: I'm sweaty and pale and grabbing my dagger. Rand: Sounds good. Thom: I once had nephew Owyn, who died because of Aes Sedai. Now I must go fight a Myrddraal. See you in Book 2. Mat: I'm still sweaty and pale and grabbing my dagger. Rand: That's fine. I'll play my flute for our supper. Lan: Nice tracking. Nynaeve: I'm secretly blushing. Perrin: I'm talking to Wolves. Egwene: I'm dancing with beautiful Aram. Lan: We must rescue Perrin and Egwene from the Whitecloaks. You must hold my hand. To help the rescue. Nynaeve: Yes, I must hold your hand. To help the rescue. I hope there aren't spots of color blossoming on my cheeks. Master Bunt: Legend has it that Tigraine disappeared after the old queen died. Soon after that Luc disappeared into the Blight, and Taringail died, leaving young Morgase on the throne. Rand: Couldn't you just leave it all in a big family tree inside the cover? Master Gill: Legend has it Old Thom was closer to the queen that was proper. Then he disappeared and when he later returned, Queen Morgase was mad, so he fled the city, a step ahead of the headsman's axe. Rand: Couldn't you just leave it in a big exposition section inside the cover? Mat: I'm even sweatier and paler, and more crazy. Rand: Good work. Well, I have to go meet the royal family. Elayne: I've got long golden tresses. Rand: Jinkies, Elayne. Morgase: This boy is dangerous. Lord Bryne: Yes, he is. Elaida: Yes, he is. Morgase: Good. Let him go. Gawyn: You look like an Aielman...oh, that's crazy talk. Never mind. Rand: Okay. Everyone: Yayyyy! We're all together! Egwene: You're telling us you talked with the Daughter-Heir! Rand al'Thor! I am making presumptions about you, and therefore must yell at you. Just wait until Elayne, Nynaeve and I do this for the entire series. Rand: Gosh, Egwene... Perrin: We heard a second-hand story about a dying man who said the Dark One means to blind the Eye of the World. Loial: I heard the same story, from an different second-hand source. Moiraine: Therefore, we must go to the Eye of the World! Agelmar: Legend has it that Lan is the last of the Malkieri. You see, two score years ago... Rand: Couldn't you just add this to the big family tree section in the front cover? Agelmar: Use a Post-It. Nynaeve: I have held your hand. I have brought you tea. I cannot shame myself any further! Lan: I am not emotional. My emotions are cold like a winter blizzard. Loving me is like loving a frozen ice sculpture. That is why I have fallen head over heels in love with you, and you with me. Now excuse me while I martyr myself. Rand: Aginor, being the least significant Forsaken until you are reborn, you are now dead. Aginor: See you in book 6. I mean, "Noooo." Rand: You too, Balthamel. Balthamel: Mmmmph. Mat: We found some things. Bloody ashes. Egwene: Matrim Cauthon! You better... Lan: Here's a gag. Readers: Yay! Moiraine: See you in Book 2. -Credit to Isam of the Infogrames WoT forums
