: Okay so I read that thing in the Delusions section about
: "The Black Company" and how it is related to
: Myth.
: Anyone read Robert Jordans "the Wheel of Time"
: series? It fits Myth like a glove. Look at these
: comparisons I've made: People: Balor - The Dark One
: The Leveller - The Dark One
: Soulblighter - Sightblinder or Soulsbane
: The Deceiver - Betrayer of Hope
: The Fallen Lords - The Forsaken
: Mazzarin - Mazrim
: Bahl'al - Be'lal
: Shiver - Lanfear
: Heron Guard - Blade Masters (with Heron blades)
: Trow/Calliaech - Ogier (both are builders)
: Forest Giants - The Green Man
: Hero of the Light - Lews Therin Telamon
: Myrkridia - Trollocs
: Mauls - Trollocs
: Bre'unor - Wolf Brothers
: Soulless - Soulless
: Warlocks - Male Aes Sedai (both are mad)
: Places: The Barrier - The Blight
: Untamed Lands - Aiel Waste
: Dream Duels - Fighting in Dreams can hurt...
: Muirthemne - Manetheren (both were destroyed at some
: time)
: Tyr - Tear (come on, it don't get more obvious)
: The Drowned Kingdom - The Drowned Lands
: Cloudspine - Spine of the World
: Things: Eblis Stones - Ta'Angreal
: World Knot - Waygates or Portal Stones
: Balamung - Callandor
: Lightning Bow - Birgitte’s Lightning Bow
: Other: Both Maps look very similar
: Soulblighters turns to crows and the Dark one uses crows
: for reconnaissance
: Heron guard resemble japanese warriors while the Heron
: marked blades in TWOT resemble a very japaese style.
: Fetches are another name for Myrddraal
: Great Comet is a similar thing to the Great Serpent.
: I think that this is a very very close match to Myth. I
: gathered all this information and I have only read 3
: out of the 9 Wheel of Time books. Just goes to show.

I knowticed this when I was reading WoT books too but a lot of the stuff in WoT are taken from Tolkein, so i dont think that myth borrowed directly from them
though its interesting anyway
also myth is more of a war game while WoT evolves more from war and into indivisual people (at least 20 major charectors and countless minors who become major, its insane, but not armies!)
Though if warlocks and male aseidi are the same then that makes Rand the Deceiver... I could see that working out in the future WoT books too...
