One year ago today...

One year ago today, our friend Robert Jordan passed away.   One year ago today, Wilson, the "fourth brother of three", left us devestated with the announcement.   One year ago today, the media realized just how big of an announcement that was.   One year ago today, fans across the world, both casual and dedicated, dusted off their old copies of The Eye of the World and started reading again.   One year ago today, new fans heard the news, and were inspired to try out the series.   On

Pictures of some of the collection

Greg, "The Armorer", Kitchens passed along some more photos of Robert Jordan's weapon collection. He writes: Some have suggested a book of Jim’s collection. While this is a fun idea, I am afraid it is too late. The collection has already been taken down from the walls and distributed among the heirs, other than what we are auctioning now.   Please consider posting some of these pictures on the site if you feel it appropriate and in you get the time.

Blades

Writing as Robert Jordan, James Rigney made knowledge his stock in trade. In order to write effectively about men and non-men who fought with swords and lances, he hefted them, he swung them. He studied what life is like for a man who makes his meat and beer with a battle axe. He would hold a spear or sword and contemplate the use of it in combat. Some swords are better in small areas, whereas long swords are better suited for larger space. He'd use them to learn about things like that. Einstein

1994 Interview with Robert Jordan published for the first time

The LORD OF CHAOS. In the interview, RJ gives many of his trademark responses (like how he's known the end of the series since before he wrote the first book). But nonetheless, the interview is insightful, well conducted, and more than a little heart-breaking when you think of Jim's all too early passing.   You can listen to the interview at the Reality Break podcast website.

Robert Jordan's Citadel memorial dedication

Family, friends and fans of fantasy gathered at The Citadel on Tuesday 8 April 2008 to dedicate a permanent memorial to my brother/cousin, James Oliver Rigney, Jr. This was a celebration of Jim’s life and his work. I would be lying were I to tell you I was looking forward to the event. We had assembled only a few weeks earlier at the Citadel to induct Jim into the South Carolina Author’s Hall of Fame. That evening had propelled me back to the awful moments in September when we lost Jim.
