Will far off lands like Shara or the Land of Madmen play an important role in the last book?Brandon Sanderson (10 January 2011)
RAFO. Though RJ said we'd never go to Shara, at least not in any major way. He was less firm on the Madmen.Tags

Barnes and Noble Chat (Verbatim)Ryan Foley from Lawrence, Mass.
If you were going to be stranded on the Island of Madmen and could only take one book with you, what book would it be?Robert Jordan

Barnes and Noble Chat (Verbatim)David from Austin
When will the Land of Madmen (as shown in the Guide) come into play, and are you considering ever making a second edition of the Guide?Robert Jordan
As for when or if it will come into play, read and find out. As for another edition of the guide, I would like to do a concordance or encyclopedia when the cycle is finished, but I have no plans before that.Tags

Interview: Apr, 2003
Budapest Q&A (Verbatim)Question
There is one place, one continent, you wrote about it only in the Guide. It’s the Land of Madmen. What is this?Robert Jordan
It is a place where was never was a White Tower, or any other organization of Aes Sedai, to effect any control over men who could channel. Therefore, no civilization was able to rise up there again after the Breaking. It is still a place where men who can channel can be found (much more). [They are] hunted by women who can channel, because they’re very dangerous. Anybody else, for that matter, if they can find a way to kill them. It’s like, if you find out you have a tiger loose in your neighborhood and you have to kill it. You can’t leave it running loose; somebody has to kill it.Tags

DragonCon Report - Matt Hatch (Paraphrased)Question
Do males with the spark also become wilders with blocks then?Robert Jordan
It depends, a woman born with the spark that doesn't get trained, she may become a wilder, she may or may not have a block, but quite often does. A man born with a spark is probably much more likely to go up and become a false Dragon, frankly, but uh, at least before the Black Tower opened up for business. But there are blocks among the men as well. We had one of the characters, one of the men who was one of the first Asha'man, one of the first to come to the Black Tower and is since deceased. He would not believe that what he channeled at, that he could affect anything he could not see. Thus he limited the range, he could not thus make a lightning bolt that hit on the other side of the hill because he could not see.Matt Hatch
[Tape ended] Other side, Jordan discussed the Land of Madmen, that blocks in men were one of the reason the isle/continent still remains.Tags

Robert Jordan's Blog: THIS AND THAT (Verbatim)Robert Jordan
For several people. Nynaeve could Travel after depositing Lan in Saldaea because she had "learned" that spot by Traveling to it. Remember, if someone Travels to a place, they now know the place they have Traveled to as well as if they had spent time there learning it.Tags

Finally, a little request... The Land of the Madmen is mentioned in the Guide but never in the series itself. It would be lovely if it could at least be mentioned in one of the books.Brandon Sanderson
Your request is under consideration.Tags

Interview: Apr, 2013
Waygate Foundation Q&A (Verbatim)Question
Based on the weather of the different lands, it seems like Randland is in the northern hemisphere of the planet. Are there lands to the south of Randland? The Seanchan came from the West across the Aryth Ocean—is Shara on their western border?Maria Simons
There is a map of the whole world of The Wheel of Time in The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time; it shows Randland to be almost totally in the northern hemisphere, with a small southern portion of Shara being in the southern hemisphere. Below Randland, at apparently the same longitude though covering a much smaller area, is the Land of Madmen. Seanchan is spread over the northern and southern hemispheres, and on its western border is the Morenal Ocean; that ocean is also the eastern border of Shara.Tags

JordanCon 2013 - Q&A with Maria (Verbatim)Terez
Will there be anything more about the Land of Madmen in the Encyclopedia, or is the Guide all we get?Maria Simons
To the best of my knowledge, the Guide is all you get. There might be a sentence more somewhere, but not extensive information.Tags
