Tower Sworn Interview
January 15, 2022
(Updated October 15, 2023)
- Why did you choose Brown?
I was drawn to the Brown ajah because it’s relaxed and doesn’t take itself too seriously while staying focused on what really matters. We also have an excellent sense of humour
We are all curious and seek knowledge, which is to say we like to geek out
- Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
The Browns in the books seemed more focused on their thoughts than daydreaming but okay. I used to daydream constantly but I haven't done it in many years. I don't lack the things I used to daydream about anymore. And yeah, I love books, don't we all?
- Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Verin is one of my favourite characters overall so definitely her. With Verin being so awesome it's pretty hard to top her
- How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Over twenty years, since 2001 or so
- How did you first get into the series?
A friend recommended the series to me. By recommend I mean she demanded I read it, lol. I don't do anything I don't want to though so the fact that I did is a great endorsement of the series

Nynaeve

Graendal

I usually say The Shadow Rising as I am a huge Age of Legends nerd, lol. Favourite scene is difficult though, especially as I don’t want to spoil things
- If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?

- How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
I saw someone who had "Volunteering at TarValon.Net" or some such in their Facebook profile and since I was doing a reread I decided to check it out. Even though a friend recommended the series to me and my brother has also read it, I've never had anyone to discuss it with. Sounded fun
- What do you do in "real life"?
My absolute best

I game and listen to books mostly. Also do some papercrafting and dog training. I have started crocheting as well which is a lot of fun so far
