A Novella About Being Human
What if everything you know about the most notorious villain in history is wrong?
In preparing for a celestial concert, Lucifer suffers a crisis of faith. He wants more than anything to do what his God commands, but how does he know what God wants?

The Wheel of Time is renowned for its world building, but much of the backstory is delivered in bits and pieces at different times in different places and it’s not always easy to put the pieces together. This post will try to put some of those pieces together and explain how the history of Cairhien and Andor interact with the Aiel and the Dragon.
The World Should be Braided
We are not alone and we cannot pretend that we are. When we become adults, we must put aside childish things like greed and fear and hate. If we cannot support each other because of our differences, we must support each other in spite of them.
