Jordan was known for his careful attention to detail, tackling gender roles and writing strong female characters in his novels. The island home of the Aes Sedai (ostensibly, female wizards) looks like a vagina.

hmmm….I have no idea what to think on this one. But I’m looking forward to seeing what sort of comments you get.
Absolutely not a coincidence. Jordan thought through all of this stuff, and there’s actually tons of hidden symbolism in the maps.

Wow…just wow. This certainly isn’t your typical post, Aidan.
I’ll take that as a compliment, Rob!

Where’s the little man in a canoe?
He’s floating around in the North Harbour, Doug.
A vagina with a spider escaping from it…
Ha, that’s awesome!
Don’t forget the tall, pale shaft directly in the center of it. ಠ_ಠ
If i giggled what does that say about me???
ha, thank you, I needed a chuckle :)
hmm, that’ll explain why I couldn’t find my way around the map.
To be fair, most islands in the middle of rivers are shaped like that:

I hear good things happen to those who are able to navigate their way around ;)
