The Eye of the World (Book 1) – Chapter 44: “The Dark Along the Ways”

The Wheel of Time - Book 1 - The Eye of the World

This write-up is going to be shorter than usual because the group spends most of the time travelling through some Ways. The descriptions of this aren’t very entertaining.

Loial senses a Waygate in the basement of a shop, and Moiraine removes the wall to reveal the gate. Once upon a time, Waygates were vibrant and mirrorlike. This one is dim and dull. When Rand passes through the gate, he notices through the portal that those who haven’t yet travelled through the gate are moving very, very slowly. Time passes faster in the Ways. Or, rather, “the Wheel turns faster”.

They travel up and down and all around the Ways, going through passages and traversing bridges and going up and down various ramps. Loial leads the way. Eventually, they come to an impasse: A big, jagged break in the path that descends into nothingness. Everyone is sad. The end.
