What do you think of the Forsaken, the Chosen Ones, the Shadowsouled? This week we go SPOILER FREE on a dig through the history of the Forsaken.  Because, let’s be honest, they play a huge role in the books but their back story, for the most part, has to be pieced together throughout the series.  While this has its own level of fun, sometimes it’s just downright confusing.  Traci and Amber have an irreverent romp through the ins and outs of who is who and how they became the main adversaries to be wary of in the series. 

But, holy wow, we were not expecting to take over three hours to record this episode!  There was just too much to talk about.  So we made the episode a two parter and hope you’ll come back next week when we start off with Traci’s favorite among the Forsaken, Lanfear. 

Part of the conversation we had was in regards to an unofficial theme song for Ba’alzamon that’s hanging out on YouTube.  The channel is Department of Unrepresented Silence.  We did slip a snippet of the song into our Ishamael/Ba’alzamon discussion, but for the full version, you’ll need to follow the link. 

If you have questions or comments for us, you can email us at [email protected] or reach us on Twitter; Amber is @RoadtoTarValon and Traci is @wannabeblue2.  We are also on instagram under Road to Tar Valon.
