Chat with Robert Jordan

Author of 'The Wheel of Time'

About Robert Jordan

In the late 1980s, while most fantasy writers were still working in trilogies, Robert Jordan began constructing a single narrative arc spanning fourteen volumes, each over 700 pages, with interwoven timelines, linguistically consistent invented tongues, and a cosmology rooted in Eastern philosophy’s cyclical time. He mapped the Wheel of Time’s Ages not as abstract epochs but as lived realities: the fading of channeling ability across generations, the slow decay of Ogier stedding, the precise historical weight carried by the Horn of Valere’s three known soundings. His notebooks contained genealogies for minor noble houses, agricultural yields per province, and calendars calibrated to the turning of the Great Serpent’s coils. This wasn’t world-building as backdrop, it was archaeology of an imagined past, where every political alliance bore scars from the Breaking, and every character’s moral choice echoed the Pattern’s tension between free will and ta’veren inevitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jordan leave the ending of 'A Memory of Light' unfinished?
Jordan completed extensive notes, partial manuscripts, and audio recordings outlining the final battle, character resolutions, and thematic closure before his death in 2007. His widow Harriet McDougal selected Brandon Sanderson to complete the series based on those materials, not as a ghostwriter, but as a structural interpreter bound by Jordan’s documented intentions, including specific chapter beats and dialogue fragments.
What role did Jordan's military service play in shaping the Two Rivers militia or the Band of the Red Hand?
His U.S. Army service in Vietnam informed his portrayal of trauma, chain-of-command friction, and the psychological toll of prolonged conflict, evident in Perrin’s leadership struggles and the Band’s evolving discipline. Unlike typical fantasy armies, Jordan’s forces trained with realistic logistics: supply lines, fatigue, and command hierarchies that shifted under stress rather than heroic fiat.
How did Jordan develop the One Power’s gender-based dichotomy?
He grounded the male/female halves of the True Source in Taoist yin-yang dynamics, not as moral binaries, but complementary forces with distinct properties: saidin’s linear, forceful nature versus saidar’s fluid, weaving quality. This shaped everything from weave construction to the Forsaken’s corruption patterns, and deliberately avoided equating masculinity with destruction or femininity with nurturing.
Were the prophecies in 'The Karaethon Cycle' written before or after the main plot?
Jordan composed them early, during the first draft of 'The Eye of the World', as foundational scaffolding. Each prophecy was crafted with deliberate ambiguity (e.g. 'the Dragon shall be born again on the slopes of Dragonmount') to allow multiple interpretations, ensuring they could guide, mislead, and evolve alongside the characters’ understanding without violating internal consistency.
