In this episode of the Black Tower Podcast, we dive deep into the political and cultural upheaval of The Wheel of Time as Rand al’Thor rises to power. What happens to nations like Tear, Andor, and Illian when the Dragon Reborn reshapes the world? We explore shifting borders, altered alliances, and how the very idea of “nationhood” changes under the shadow of prophecy.
Join us as we dissect the political chessboard, weigh the costs of unity versus independence, and consider what it means for leaders, citizens, and the fate of the world when one man’s influence spans kingdoms.
💬 Share your thoughts in the comments — would you welcome Rand’s rule, or resist it?

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
