"Kneel to the Lord Dragon, or you will be knelt."
Shivers, every time.
This line better be in the show.
@@abeclark524 I'll be suprised if M'Hael is even in the show after season 1.
@@Pavemnt310 Just because he was the one to say it in the book, doesn't mean someone else can't in the show. You know, like the Dragon himself maybe?
@@Pavemnt310 Season 2 of the show already named-dropped Taim twice. He’s going to be in the show for sure, and he’ll have a major role.
& I like how he stresses the word- "Will". Interesting choice, as someone reading, to choose to put the accent on that word. "Kneel..... Or you WILL be knelt!". Ooh, gives me chills, every time I hear it. The narration is amazing!
When I first read this, back in the late 90s, and Rand burst out of the chest, I leapt out of my chair, spilling my beer, cheering like a game-winning shot had been scored. Absolutely stunning stuff.
I did as well 😂 jumped up like someone scored an overtime goal
i love a drunk vibe reading joyce works on that vibe as well lol :)
@@alexanderlewis1705 my fav book but i am in love with mat
The visual cinematic In my head for this chapter 🤤 Amazon failed us all
I did the same😂
I love how the narrator pronounces aes sedai as Rand. You can feel his anger, distrust and disappointment in these "servants of all", coldly mocking and no more than they deserve.
Probably the greatest battle in fantasy. Modern or otherwise. RJ had such a way of writing battles.
What about The Last Battle?
@@Sheenl8 I'm not sure either, but I made an animated video showing Dumai's wells, just in case. You can watch it here on my channel :)
Until the LAST battle... that single chapter was longer than the entire first Harry Potter book and every bit as epic as it deserved to be.
Agreed. He had the way of writing battles of a man who had experienced them.
Micheal Kramer is a fucking legend.
The best voice actor for Fantasy Series of all time.
He’s unreal
This is probably my favourite single point in the series. Rand's response to the Aes Sedai shapes the future. Hearing Mazrim Taim roar that command to the Asha'man always sends shivers down my spine, it's such a potent moment. Jordan was an absolute master of his craft.
I agree. Although there are two others that rank as high for me. When Perrin led the Two rivers folk in defense against the Trollocs and when Mat was in command of one of the later battles. “A good leader commands from the rear. “ One of the memories of a long forgotten general told mat. “A man could get killed in there. “ That was pure Mat Cauthon.
"Ashaman, kill" is one of my favorite lines/scenes in the series too. Right up there with it, from the same chapter, is "Kneel, or you will be knelt." So powerful, so menacing, especially considering who the words were spoken to. I read it when I was about 14 and man oh man was I hooked. Slog? What slog? I love em all.
Asha man killlllllll
This and when he destroys the Choedan kal my fav parts of the series.
@@707Iz remind me what that part was about again please?
a detail to keep in mind, perrin gets the aiel on his side to wear some red. when rand first encounters aiel he notices it, then when those who don't have red attack him he instantly kills a BUNCH of them. good call perrin.
this was a shadow, the most bitter shadow, of what the reality of war with the one power will be and has been. the most brutal warriors in the world (aiel) are broken to the point of running away as fast as they can, and they still can't get away. this is the first glimpse of what war with the one power is.
There were wars with the One Power before this; the constant battles against Shadowspawn on the borderlands, the Trolloc Wars, the fight against the Seanchen in Book 2, the various sieges of Tar Valon, but this was the most brutal display of it on screen. (the priors were either off screen in the books or more toned down; the Aes Sedai typically used fireballs/lightning and so did the Sul Dam; no one did what the Ashaman did on screen and not to so many masses of people at once)
@@Andhaira prolly happened in the AoL
@@Andhaira Yeah but all of those pale in comparison to events like The War of Power, where even the bad guys had to agree to stop using balefire or else the Pattern would have unravelled and nobody would win. This is before Rand teaches the Asha'man any of the more complex and efficient battle weaves too, Dumais Wells is the first time the raw One Power had been used to kill on such scale on this side of the Aryth ocean in thousands of years
This is where the series got me. I had struggled through the first three books and then started to warm to and truly enjoy books four through seven. The payoff at the conclusion of this book made all the reading thus far more than worth it. After completing the series, my view of all the books changed: my favorite fantasy series hands down.
Opposite for me: I enjoyed the first few, then it all got so tedious.
Dumai’s Well makes Helms Deep look like a parade.
When a group of my friends and I went to meet Jordan at Marcon years and years ago, everyone brought the eye of the world for him to sign. I brought Lord of Chaos for him to sign, in large part because of this scene.
I also met him at a book signing in the Nashville area and got him to sign a trade paperback of "The Eye of the World."
I asked him if he had figured out how many books it was going to take to finish the Wheel of Time series.
His response was that he knew exactly how it was going to end that he had already planned it out, but did not know how many books it would take to get there.
He also told me that he was thinking of what he would write after he finished TWoT. It was not related to TWoT and that it had its own magic system and history. That's what I remember and think of what we missed when he passed away before finishing TWoT. 😭😭
@@markdunlap3703 Wow. I wish we could have seen that next project. I wonder if he left any notes on it.
It’s a travesty what Amazon is doing to the story of WoT. I also wish he was still here to have a say in the production.
@@forsaken7976 Yeah, I CAN NOT stand to watch another minute of the series. Watched a couple episodes thinking I'd give it a try. Few things I had major problems with:
1. Perrin was married and killed his wife (where were the Luhhan's? what purpose did that story arc have?) [I'm not even going into Perrin's lack of "size" to stay with his character descripton]
2. Moiraine (I think it was her) said that the Dragon could be a man or a *woman* (WTF???)
3. Logain sees Nynaeve's weaves when she heals everyone from the damage of his cage exploding, and apparently he now thinks she is the Dragon.
4. Mat's character is portrayed as too much of a dark 'bad boy.' I always saw him as a likable trickster, not a despicable thief/scoundrel.
5. The diversity of the Two Rivers jarred me out of the 'suspension of disbelief'. For a village with centuries of separation from the outside world, there was too much disparity in the appearance of the characters. The point of Rand looking different from everyone else was lost. The village looked more like it would have after Perrin returned and lots of different refugees from all over came there. After all, Jordan spent a great deal of the books commenting that people from different areas had certain physical appearances/traits. There were lots of references that certain people were assumed to be from certain areas from their appearance (and usually their clothing); none moreso than Rand being constantly mistaken for Aiel.
I had to start rereading the series again to clean my palate, but the Taint of the Dark One (i.e Amazon) keeps creeping in and i can't stop seeing the garbage from the show in my mind as read.
@@markdunlap3703 Yep. Check out the YT channels Knights Watch and Books by Bianca for a good breakdown of the desecration of a show.
@@markdunlap3703 rip rj
Only a veteran could write such a visceral battle so well
That is so incredible that it brought a tear to my eye. This is why I love the Wheel of time.
the skill Rand utilizes to unravel the knots is sublime
Outstanding! This is Robert Jordan at his best. The music choices here are excellent and make the scene come alive.
I don't care about the taint on Saidin, I would be an Asha'man in a heartbeat. Light I must already be mad! 😄
Without hesitation. There's a point about reflecting modern day soldiers inflicting themselves with PTSD.
Taint you say 😏
oh yeah, just hope I wouldn't be in the tower during the, ya know, thing that starts happening later :P
@@thewitchking852 seriously! Probably one of the scariest parts of the series
@@Sleepless4Life it is a hint of ooogy-woogy heaven!
Unbelievable! I read this chapter a few days ago, have watched various videos and podcasts about the battle. This was the first I have listed to the book via audio. It was unbelievable!! The best chapter of the series thus far! Fan-Fing-tastic chapter!
I will never forget the first time I read this chapter
This was a masterpiece of a chapter. 2nd only to ituraldes last stand at maradon.
I love how insane Rand is here and fighting with his own mind via Lews Therin. He goes from maniacal giggling to weeping to seething hatred. Perrin can smell how crazy he is. But the Lord Dragon still makes the correct decisions. Stay hidden and shield the channelers. Then when Taim comes through he reveals no sentiments for his people, only using the opportunity to inspire the Asha'man. He makes the Aes Sedai submit to men, resetting gender equality to the Age of Legends.
You just know the Amazon show runners would laugh this scene out of the room.
He finally ended the longhouse lol
I hope the do this scene justice in the upcoming live action series. They best spend the whole budget, drone camera swoop, Hans zimmer track, heck throw in the Avengers and Thanos armies, GET IT DONE!
This comment aged like milk.
@@definitelynotobama6851 You expecting a scene from book 6 in season 1, homie?
@s
I think he meant that the show won’t last long enough to get to this scene.
And if by some crazed miracle (for Amazon) it did make it here...the scene would not play out like this at all.
Rand would fail to get out of the box, Egwene would show up and secretly sneak Rand and min out of the camp without hurting any of the aes sedai.
Then when the Shaido caught sight of her she would channel and kill all the men and make the women forget what they’re doing in the area, allowing her to safely whisk Rand away to safety.
Perrin and his army and such would never have even appeared in the show as Perrin is still in the castle crying about how loial got shanked.
They won't
@@theabhorrentchef7226 you know the sad thing? Your coment is not even a joke
The wolves showing up was so cool, and the ashaman smoking everyone, the battle had me making faces and jumping around at work while listening
Dumai’s Wells AKA The day the Dragon Reborn put those beeches in their place.
Those Beatrice* (spoken quickly in a 1970s cat Williams pimp voice with hair greased mightily)
This channel is a gem, and that is an understatement when compared to modern youtube. Thank you. You haven't uploaded in awhile; I hope you're doing well.
Those last minutes epic
Hearing this makes me want to re read it all again only a couple of pple make a huuuuuge impact on me one of them is mat cauthon hes my favourite
The background music is a great addition!
Stunning channel. In my opinion, the most entertaining channel yet. Brings it all back for me. I have the hardest time imagining book scenes in my head. What they are seeing, proximity ect. But this reading really helps me with that.
Love 💗💗💗 the musical choices!!!
& the music u played when Rand breaks free of the chest, has a cool 28 Days Later sound, & it works.
I wish they'd play theme music in the audiobooks, it adds to the tension & drama, & emotions. The beat had me biting my lip nervous, at the right parts, it was intense!
Great Job! 👍
Thank you for adding in the music. After listening to your videos, it is difficult for me to go back to listening to the audiobooks without the music.
Excellent, thank you for posting this.
Thanks for listening
@@WheelOfTimeAudioClipsi come here and listen every week after the show disappoints me
I can see Michael Fassbender (Magneto), or Tom Hiddleston (Loki) playing Mazrim Taim.
16:30 men and horses turning to screaming torches
When the music stops, & it gets all quiet, right before...
"Ash'aman... Kill!"
Then the intense music comes in, i get chills! The music u chose provokes emotions. I keep rewinding that part, lol. Great job! & was a great choice for the Short u produced.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
"Asha'man. Kill!", & "Kneel.... or you WILL be knelt!"
Best parts of the battle, & Taim is so cool in this!
Taim is one of my favorite characters of the entire series!
OUTSTANDING! Great battle!
Your music choices are perfect here!
Thanks so much for making these. Love them, especially this one. The music brings it to another level
Season 4 or 5 of the Amazon Prime series will have a WILD ending
It'll honestly be season 3 if they keep to 2 books per season.
If they don’t fudge it up
@@Stormcrownn They're doing 2 books a season?
@@pergos1 they’re not. For the first season it’s going to be like 1.5 books. They couldn’t possibly fit book 1 in 4 episodes and then book 2 in 4 episodes as well
@@forsaken7976 Yeah well they did heh.
Can you do the scene where Rand walks into the white tower just to talk to Egwayne
I’ll add it to my long list thanks
Whatever happens, we have got
The Asha'man, and they have not
When they film this battle for the series (assuming the show lasts that long) I hope they get the people who did the Battle of Helm's Deep from The Two Towers or Battle of the Bastards from GoT to do it. Those battles were done right.
Eh Egwene will simply speak the box out of existance, and have rand kneel to her.
Seeing how season two ended, I don’t believe they would adapt this or give us that ending of the Aes Sedai kneeling to him
Love the additional music, not sure if you edited in.
Think he did. There's no music in the audio books.
Yes I edit in the music to add atmosphere to the audio’s, it’s something I always thought was missing from listening to all the audiobooks multiple times over, I can only hope I do them justice by doing this😊🙏
@@WheelOfTimeAudioClips Yes you did, and then some! Thank you for sharing. Something I thought was always missing. But I do understand that everyone perceives sound and music differently, hence audiobooks usually don't have them, just to keep things neutral. But as you've shown if done well can add so much atmosphere to an already brilliant audiobook. I love Kate and Michael's voices in these. Ty again.
@@WheelOfTimeAudioClips The audiobooks are great, especially with Michael Kramer and Kate Redding reading it, but the music makes it come alive. Makes it epic.
You could score films with the choices you have made. To be able to transfer the atmosphere and emotion of a scene is truly an art. You did great justice to these passages.
Thank you for this.
Can you do the scene where Rand chokes Min?
Mine's the cleansing of the source 😍 but this is a very very very close second. So many insanely awesome moments on such a long series, cause I just remembered Perrin forging his hammer, aw shoot🥴, which one is my number one now then? 😅
They will pay! I'm the Lord of Morning!
Brings tears, eh
Final line, such a conclusion
Where did Galina run to? I, too, wanted to punish her for what she did.
Captured by the shaido
Asha'man, Kill! 46:29
My favorite chapter is The Sending- “we come”.
Elaida went too damn far
Is there music like this in the purchased audiobooks? Really sets the mood and I'm thinking of purchasing the audios for a lack of time to specifically reread the series
YOU MUST DO AUDIBLE CLIPS FROM ROSAMUND’s NARRATION!!
The fact that he can Still a female channeler on his own is a testament to his power.
I wish he had severed all of the red aes sedai there but slowly so they could panic in fear.
Take this audiobook portion, and us A.I. animation to create a video to match the words. Do NOT edit or change the audio.
Im a female, & even i hate Aes Sedai, them know-it-all, stuck up b's on their high horse, they don't even like or get along with each other, they cant stand their own kind. And the Red Ajah is super scary and psycho 😮
I have serious doubts that The Wheel of Amazon will give us this depiction of battle. Too "Male" positive.
They’re gonna butcher it for sure
True. The entire theme of the books will be lost.
They will absolutely change this battle. The showrunner said his favorite scene to adapt for season 1 was Tarwin’s gap and look how it turned out.
I really hope the show gets cancelled before they get this far in the series. Can only imagine how they would butcher this epic battle.
They would just keep rand shielded and make perrin useless cut out the asha'man and replace them with rouge aes sedai and have egwane kill the shaido all by herself
