    The Battle For Maradon - A Wheel of Time Memorable Moment
    Book 13: Towers of Midnight
    Chapters 18/24/28/32
    As the Last Battle approached and Tenobia took a large part of the Saldaean army south with the Borderland army, Maradon came under attack from a large Shadowspawn army and was defended by Rodel Ituralde, who was unable to use the city's defenses because the Darkfriend noble Vram Torkumen had claimed that Rodel was an invader and so would get no help from the Saldaeans. The Domani were only able to enter the city when Torkumen was overthrown. Once inside the city, the Shadowspawn attack was increased and rogue male channelers were used to destroy part of the northern wall. The city was eventually saved after Rand al'Thor arrived with Davram Bashere and forced the remaining Trollocs out.
    This program is read by Audie Award-winning narrator Michael Kramer.

      I totally agree. Dumais Wells and the Manor House battles are more like skirmishes in comparison.
      Maradon is a protracted, tactical battle played out over weeks. And what really lends it so much weight is not the fighting, but the loss of life and sacrifice.
      “…I have inspected your men. There are so few left. And they are broken and battered.
      How did you hold this city? What you have done is a miracle.
      I do what needs to be done.
      You must have lost many friends.
      I…yes.”

    A collection of all the matt chapters of him with the band/fights would be dope af. I dunno what time of time your looking for but, you could do one super long one with all the chapters. then do individual videos for the fights. and individual videos for like, moments of him with tuon etc. could pump out a ton of extra/smaller/individual videos from that storyline that people really love. And, like a full on 2 hour long or whatever non-stop matt fest has me very excited.

Unsure of the restrictions on the source material and all I can offer at this time is a hint of shame, hoping for bit of luck, and a toss of proverbial the dice. I'll be listening to any additional content honestly. Much appreciated.

    A suggestion for the next video you could do the scene where Rand meets Tuon and Mat with him singing the song and such. That would be excellent and fairly short, I have enjoyed your videos with the soundtrack in the background. Also another suggestion is Rand on top of dragonmount, that is another top tier scene in the series.
