I mostly agree with your list , not sure how 'man'-made the Tower of Ghenji is though. I would have put Hawkwings statue, even 1000 years after it was torn down the size of it is amazing. Theres also that memorial (cant remember its name) when Hawkwing defeated the darkspawn army
I feel the topless towers of Cairhien really should've been on the list, since they're discussed with reverence several times in the books and the guardian in far madding. Not sure about the Eye of the World and Dragonmount, since the eye is fairly obscure and you need to venture into the blight, not very tourist friendly and Dragonmount is a source of fear and disgust rather than admiration and worship like most of the ancient wonders of our world. Great video and interesting topic all the same :)
I would imagine if you were to include the entire world in the consideration two additions would be the ter'angreal of remembrance in Rhuidean, and the crystal throne in Seandar.
Not necessary relevant to the books but there is a statue on an island that kills anyone within a mile. Baylon mentions it in the first book. Sounds amazing
Loving your videos Nae'blis - cool collection of wonders - perhaps you should say wonders of the fourth age. Some minor corrections: It was Rand's need that located the Eye of the World, not Moiraine, if you go back to the text you would see it, the Green man is surprised Moiraine was able to get their again having alreadybeen there before, but when the finding happens it is Rand's great desire and pull that brings it to him, and imo, allows Moiraine to circumvent the rule, or rather Rand's need overides Moiraine's exclusion. Well done for mentioning the Choedan Khal - it definitely qualifies. However I think they were projects started during the war of power and not completed till after the breaking, the first one was actually what Mierin Sedai (Lanfear) used to bore the whole into the dark one's prison when they were searching for a greater power source, Rand's vision shows that one shattering into black. The light side afterwards then proceed to create two even more powerful ones, that were not completed before the war ended, but finished before the breaking occurs. Ruidean would be a wonder, but as you're not including cities, the glass column Ter'angreal, described as forest of mirrors would qualify, but then which of the buildings of that city would not, it was built in teh fourth age, but is an age of legends style city though the Genn Aiel never completed it - they had Aes Sedai with them if you follow Rand's vision - powerful dreamer Aes Sedai it's probably from them the Wise One use of the power and dream actually stem from. The Crystal Throne in Seanchan would also likely qualify. It is said to be awe inspiring The Royal Palace in Caemlyn I think would qualify, but not if you were going to limit it to 7. Good call for putting Dragonmount on the list, I would not have thought about it, not immediately I confess, but I'd have to agree with you on that one.
You always frame these really well. Setting clear rules, with apparent care and consideration. My mind was already adding Caemlyn and Tar Valon when you invalidated their entry. If almost say theirs an argument to exclude the Stone of Tear for the same reason as the cities, though. 😉 Gah! The Choeden Kal! Great choice. Easily overlooked. And while I saw Aridhol being excluded, Dragonmount is a great #1. I've seen a little info from the companion and thought that there might be a makeable list of natural wonders too. PS- I still really love that intro Jak 'O the Shadows flute... And I'll sometimes fail to make my wife laugh by singing this version of Tinker in the Kitchen in the worst " Dick Van Dyke-y" accent I can manage. 😆
Thanks twig. Hope you’re getting some enjoyment out of that copy of Eye of the World. The Stone of Tear is really just one thing inside the city tho. I would liken it to maybe the Sun Palace. The Sun Palace just doesn’t have the same iconic look as the Stone. That music is addictive. It’s all Wheel Of Time related too which I love!
''The Town'' near shayul ghul is pretty much a wonder. A town inhabited with renegade Aiel who channel, Myrdraal and visited by the Chosen. Not to mention Slayer call's it home.
I kind of disagree. I do not think The Eye of the World and Dragonmount should be in there. Yes, they are related to the story but The Eye of the World is super obscure. Even if you are super educated person in Wetlands you have most probably not heard of it even once. Dragonmount may be manmade but it will even be a bigger pain for the people of Wetlands than anything made by the Shadow. It will be the same if we decided to name the ruins of Pripyat (near Chernobil) a wonder of the world. In my opinion we should have The Guardian in Far Madding in the list for sure. What will be the last one, I cannot be sure because it depends on the rules. If it is okay to include thing in the Three-fold land and we can name it one thing than the central plaza in Rhuidean will be my second pick. Or maybe the columns if the whole complex is not allowed. Otherwise I would pick some of the following: The Terhana Library in Bandar Eban, Aeadaishar Palace or The Royal Palace of Caemlyn. Of course it is an interesting topic since we only know so much about the whole planet and all points of interest. I guess in Shara and Seanchan there are a lot more.
well, there where wonders rivaling (and probably exeding) the 7 wonders in china, india, and southeast asia at the time the original list was compiled but due to the distance they wern't known of in the greek world.
I don't think Dragonmount and tEotW should be on this particular list according to your stated prerequisites. The glass columns of Rhuidean and the great museum at Tanchico maybe?
I really like your videos & am glad to see the depth you go into certain aspects of the series, particularly the lore of WoT which is one of its most interesting parts
Would you ever think about doing an expansive comprehensive exploration of the magic system? I’ve seen many talk about it in general (the true vs one source) & men vs women distinctions But I don’t really see many talk about the 5 elements and how expansive combining these different elements together can make for such a deep magic system.
Indeed this show is a concern for us book-reading folk. LOTR and H-Pot got their due just about, but even that level of production, rare as it is, is an even harder ask for something with as depthy a magic system as this. I mean it's something that I could wish I'd have practiced constantly for the past few years to strive to fit some part of the production as a reader to influence the tone it's so much a thing. I haven't even dared see my other prescious Dark Tower in it's movie incarnation. The 'General action pace' is hard for any movie producer to want to back, and it's experimental enough for a creative type too.
One of my favorites will always be the terangreal arches in the white tower where accepted are tested to become Aes Sedai. I would like to see a white tower history on how that practice came to be. Aes Sedai seem very druidic in their practices and rituals.
Good list and some more candidates would be The Guardian/Chamber of the Council of Far Madding, the twin Palaces of Illian, the Topless Towers of Cairhien, Rhuidean, Seven Towers of Malkier and the unnamed death spike that is a remnant of the Age of Legends. I think not all the original Wonders may have existed at the same time (if at all) so I would not have the rule that they must be still standing at the end of the books, but it's your list. ;)
Goin in swingin with these guesses The White Tower, The Stone of Tear, the (hand thing Sa'Angreal on the Seafolk Isles), The Eye of the World, guhhhh. The Trial thing of Rhoidion. (audiobook listener me no do the specific spelling) GHuhhh. The Ways :D wait no shadowey. oouh yea now I'm runnin on scarce.
I really enjoy your videos, thank you for feeding my wheel of time addiction! I also really like your spoiler warnings! I am on my first read, halfway through A Crown of Swords and love how you break down spoilers. It is a great way to learn the lore behind the series without being spoiled.
I don't think the Eye should be on the list, because though people have sought out the Green man, only Moraine ever specifically sought out the Eye. As for missed, I would say the Far Madding Guardians.
I can't recall the exact details, but in the Jangai Pass aren't there giant docks and stuff up in the mountains, miles in the sky? I know they aren't all that well-known, but neither is the Tower of Ghenjei... I think that Dragonmount as a "wonder of the world" is a cop out. Sure, it's "manmade" but then again so is the Spine of the World if you look at it that way...
''but in the Jangai Pass aren't there giant docks and stuff up in the mountains, miles in the sky'' Asmodean's former home of the port town of Shorelle
I hadn't thought of Dragonmount (like you said, seems too natural despite being man-made) so I'd added the plaza of Rhuidean, though, I'm guessing the topless towers of Cairhein would have made the list of they weren't still in disrepair.
I'm curious where you got your information on the Choedan Kal, I've not read anything about using them directly would burn out the user, only that the access ter'angreal were made because you can't really carry around the huge statue. Also I believe there were more then one access ter'angreal made for each one as I'm pretty sure Egwene saw one that was broken in the Panarch Palace when she entered tel'aran'rhiod without the dream weaver ring for the first time. I've not read much about the world outside of the main books.
Great list. But I wouldn't have put the eye of the world in the list. All of the other places I could go to. I wouldn't want to go through the blight to see something lol.
I like it that you included Dragonmount, as it also immediately sprang to my mind when you set up your rules. Though I do have to question about the inclusion of the White Tower, as you yourself explained it was build by Ogiers, so not manmade.
The crystal Columns of Rhuidean, though that might not count as it is in the Waste, If we can consider a single thing from the Age of Legends i'd say the Sharom at Colam Daam. The Crystal when the Queen of Manetheren drew too much of the one power during the Trolloc Wars. The Palace of Caemlyn pre Last Battle. And as a joke that inn in tar valon that looks like a blue cat. other than that I think you got the main ones. Though if you can include shadow stuff probably the sight of the bore and the forges at the valley of thakandar
I think the Crystal Throne should be on the list, even though it never really comes into play in the books. Its obviously an incredibly high powere Ter angreal or Sa angreal and evokes a sense of wonder, awe and subservience in everyone who sees it. And its influence has covered an entire empire.
ok so my (obviously superior more thoughtthrue and better ;) ) list: 1 the stone (Duh) 2 the white tower (duble Duh) 3 whitebridge (well sure, why not?) 4 the tower of Ghenjei. ok i get the critisism from some about its validity however regardles of who created it it still would be a "wonderous" sight for people seing it and its fairly well known since its along a common shippingroute between the borderlands and Andor. 5 Chodon Khal (becouse obviously) 6 the ways. (ok i get that they where taken by evil but they would still be considered a wonder unlike anything else) 7 aaaaaaand the cop out option. the big crater left behind after cleansing saidin, while not a wonder in it self, the pure scale of what it repressents is a wonder.
It is (Ted Naismith's depiction). If you Google "Stone of Tear" it comes up in Google images because from what I can find it's been uploaded as replies on reddit threads and such asking what the Stone of Tear looks like. It's sort of Casterly Rock in my headcannon anyway. It was harder to picture it like described.
@@NaeBlis I thought it was Honderstrap for years until I listened to the Audiobooks and they said Hindertap. I was like "WHA?" I had to look it up and sure enough... Anyway, I would love to see a video on that place. I just finished that part.
I have to disagree with when the Eye of the World was created. During the flashbacks it's shown to be created during the beginning of the breaking, not long after the dragon and the hundred companions resealed the dark ones prison (at least they're talking about the event as if it happened not long ago and they how had to use young male Aes Sedai not yet tainted enough to go mad to make it, which makes the early Aes Sedai perticulary wounderable to the taint). Unfortunatly I think Robert Jordan was terrible at showing how long time has passed between certain events, the whole series feels like it spans almost a decade but it seems if you look into it, it's just a few if not just a couple of years. If it didn't happen several thousands of years in between an event it could almost have happened within a span of days.
I vote these should all go in a WoT mod for Civ V! Speaking of, is there a decent one anyone could recommend? Anything as good and balanced as the ASOIAF mod for CK2, for example?
1 Dragonmount 2 Stone 3 White Tower 4 Whitebridge Not Tower of Gengai (not man made) 5,6 Male and Female Sa’angreal 7 Towers of Cairhein Plus 1, Palace of Chachin.
I agree. Didn't they just call it 'the world?' We know they don't care much for astronomy, as it was an emerging field at the end of the series. Maybe the justification was that the world didn't need a name to differentiate it from other worlds.

You missed The Ways. That is probably the most impressive man-made structure in the Universe, although few people would've seen it.
The biggest tourist trap would be the Tower of Genji, once you enter you can never leave*!
*Unless you're Mat.
Yeah the tower of genji tourist office seemed a little sketchy on the arrangements. Always asking me questions.
Give me the eye.
The ruins of the seven towers of Malkier.
The only ones I thought of not on the list is the Guardian in Far Madding, and the towers of Malkier.
You and Daniel Greene should do a couple videos together. You two are my WoT boys that i always go to for great videos about the series
It’s a possibility ;)
My WoT boys as well. =) I am just glad there are people out there feeding my obsession beyond the books. LOL
Sadly, that's past Daniel. The channel had drifted from books content for quite a while now.
Chora trees or the last Chora tree the one they called the tree of life in Rhuidean should be on list.
Is the Aiel Waste part of the Westlands?
Is it Manmade?
Not sure about man made but Rhuidean and the Aiel wastes are included in the westlands. I’d say anything west of shara.
Chora trees are at *least* as man made as Dragonmount.
@@jacemachine chora trees are a man made construct to produce feelings of peace, so i would say yes.

The white tower was made by Ogier... They aren't men.
Yeah, i was wondering the whole time if dragonmount counted..
Im glad the stone was #1. Choedan kal shoulda been #2. Good video.
Far Madding Guardian and the Topless Towers of Cairhein should be on there.
Exactly! The topless towers we're the first thing I thought of when I saw the video
The biggest tourist trap should be the Aiel wastes.
Naebs, for some reason I'm not at liberty to divulge, I only now found this vid. Very cool. Thanks.

The snake and staff seen as they left the aiel waste. Very similar to the symbol used by medical field today

I have to disagree with when the Eye of the World was created. During the flashbacks it's shown to be created during the beginning of the breaking, not long after the dragon and the hundred companions resealed the dark ones prison (at least they're talking about the event as if it happened not long ago and they how had to use young male Aes Sedai not yet tainted enough to go mad to make it, which makes the early Aes Sedai perticulary wounderable to the taint).

I think caitlyn jenner should be on the new list of the 7 man made wonders???
I vote these should all go in a WoT mod for Civ V! Speaking of, is there a decent one anyone could recommend? Anything as good and balanced as the ASOIAF mod for CK2, for example?
How about the topless towers of cairhien?
How can they make a pool of saidin? Saidin isn't a physical thing

The comic book artwork comes from the New Spring and Eye of the World graphic novels.

1st sorry Demandred!
I really dont like the name randland , Jordan wrote so much , why not a name for his world
brightdarkness calling it Earth would probably be fitting seeing as how the first age was out earths history
@@stephengrant4841 was it? I never got that from the novels. Was there more information on this in a lore book or something?
I agree. Didn't they just call it 'the world?' We know they don't care much for astronomy, as it was an emerging field at the end of the series. Maybe the justification was that the world didn't need a name to differentiate it from other worlds.
@@joeleek9976 Nae'Blis has a video "Top 10 Wheel fo Time Easter Eggs!!!" that gives a very good summary of Randland being earth: ua-cam.com/video/D5mUMqOcmUA/v-deo.html
@@joeleek9976 its not deffinitivly stated that its earth, but tere are so manny hints that its a reasonable asumption that the 1st era is earth as we know it.
