In this episode of the Black Tower Podcast, we dive deep into the political and cultural upheaval of The Wheel of Time as Rand al’Thor rises to power. What happens to nations like Tear, Andor, and Illian when the Dragon Reborn reshapes the world? We explore shifting borders, altered alliances, and how the very idea of “nationhood” changes under the shadow of prophecy.

Join us as we dissect the political chessboard, weigh the costs of unity versus independence, and consider what it means for leaders, citizens, and the fate of the world when one man’s influence spans kingdoms.

💬 Share your thoughts in the comments — would you welcome Rand’s rule, or resist it?
