Any plans for a book of artwork that depicts your vision of the world in your books?
Yes, in a way. Next October, there will be “An Illustrated Guide to the World of The Wheel of Time”. Released by Tor Books. It will have a great deal of information about the back history of the stories and the world. And also, some 80 or 90 full color illustrations including maps of the entire world of the Seanchan Empire, maps of the nations of the Compact of the Ten Nations, and the nations as they existed at the time. As well as pictures of a number of the individuals from the books. In some cases those pictures look exactly as I envision the person. In other cases, the artist and I just couldn’t come to a full agreement on what I was trying to describe. All in all, I am very satisfied with the pictures, though.
There will also be about 120-130,000 words of text telling about things like how the White Tower was founded and why the White Tower looks monolithic from the outside and so very fractured from the inside. There will be a good deal of the history of people like Artur Hawkwing and the Amyrlins for the last thousand years or so.
