Today we join with the entire Wheel of Time community, in remembrance of The Creator, Robert Jordan, on the anniversary of his birth.

The opening words of his bio in our Library, penned by Kariada Kunai, express Jordan’s spirit and impact on our Community so well:

Robert Jordan: author, mentor, friend. To most, he was the mind and pen behind the critically acclaimed fantasy series, The Wheel of Time. To us, he was that and so much more. He was the reason we are here. He brought us all together, and influenced us both in life and beyond. Those of us who had the opportunity to meet him before his passing will always remember his vibrant personality, powerful voice and quizzical smile. To hear him narrate in person, weaving together his stories in full animation, was to see the beloved characters of The Wheel of Time come to life and dance before your eyes.
The Wheel of Time series has come into each of our lives at a different time and place. TarValon.Net gives us common ground, to engage with and learn from people from all walks of life. Thanks to the imagination of The Creator.

He came like the wind, like the wind touched everything, and like the wind was gone.
