You mention the phases of the moon fairly often in The Way of Kings —is this significant or something that we should be paying attention to?
After working with the Wheel of Time community and dealing a lot with fans wanting to know when certain events happened in regards to some other event, Brandon added in the phases of the moon in order to give dedicated fans a way of determining the chronology of the events of the Stormlight Archives.
“Phase” is not the word Brandon used, it has more to do with which moon is up.
