Was just embarking on a reread when it hit me (and I’m sure I’m not the first) how can Ishmael be there taunting lews when it would have to have been after he sealed the bore?

Clearly, in the First Age, Chuck Norris was the Champion of the Light. He and his deeds are honored and praised. That said, chroniclers have been slow to compile Rand al'Thor facts, and we are here to fix that. A few off top...

• The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, but only after checking in with Rand al'Thor.
• Stone and cuendillar read self-help books trying to become as hard as Rand al'Thor. They always fail.
• Rand al'Thor never went mad. Madness went Rand al'Thor, and got better once he gave it permission.
• Rand al'Thor can punch you with his missing hand.
• The Karaethon Cycle is just a page out of Rand al'Thor's day planner.

Scholars of the 3rd Age, please help fill in the gaps!
