A giant billboard rises above shops and warehouses.
In white text on a black background it reads: “SAVE THE WHEEL OF TIME” “SAVEWOT.COM”

Zoe Robins as Nynaeve al’Meara in season three of The Wheel of Time.
She stands on the gravel bed of the sea. White-gold threads of power parting the water in ways Moses would be proud of.

A scene from oliver twist where a boy holds up an empty bowl in the workhouse placed opposite a picture of the Forsaken, Moghedien in a dark room, face illuminated white by a weave of the One Power held between her fingers.
The words "SaveWOT Social Media Day" are above and top the left of her head and along the bottom are social media icons in grey and representing all of the major social channels.

A neon sign spells “Holy Shit” and lights up. A stained glass effect background.
To the right is a motley collection of the wheel of time book series in a mixture of paperback and hardback.

The print is grey and lies on a folded tissue. Around the tissue are various pots of hobby paint.

Matrim Cauthon, a man, hangs by the neck in front of a twisted redstone doorway. The noose is tied to an odd spear that pierces the stone doorway. the spear is circled in red annotation as if to draw attention to it by the person who took the image.
He is clawing at the noose. Golden light makes traces through the dusty air as it enters through shuttered windows.

Two figures, one wearing a wide brimmed hat, flee from a person in knee high boots who appears to be firing a neon purple beam into the roof above them.

A woman stands on a desert cliff, the rising sun stands golden behind her as massive weaves of the One Power spread out from her in great arching loops up into the sky and down again into the sand.

A preview clip for episode four of season three of the wheel of time.

A screenshot of an online review by Empire magazine. Text reads:
“This season, the pair are kept apart more than fans might like, but fear not, because the show's inherent queerness remains intact. This is just one of many ways that The Wheel Of Time further sets itself apart from its peers. More sophisticated than The Witcher, more thrilling than The Rings Of Power, and more distinctive than House Of The Dragon, it's hard to imagine a better version of Robert Jordan's epic book saga — a series once deemed unfilmable. If anything, this season is the most cinematic yet, especially in Episode 4, where the past, present and future collide in a new peak for this show that promises the best is still yet to come.”

Still from inside the wheel of time season 3 episode 3.
four cast members (Josha, Zoe, Ceara & Marcus) and showrunner Rafe Judkins sit around a golden table sculpted to appear like the great serpent from the wheel of time intro. They sit against a blue backdrop intrspersed with golden-beige banners and are clearly having a discussion.

Snippet from the DK ultimate guide to warhammer 40,000.
It reads
“SPACE WOLF SQUADS
Space Wolves have their own training regimen and squad organisation. After a time as scouts, they begin their careers as impulsive, assault-oriented Blood Claws, then become Grey Hunters, and finally Long Fangs, whose great age makes them level-headed enough to be trusted with the heaviest weapons. This experience-based structure persists, with some adjustments, after the Ultima Founding.”

A quote from book four of the wheel of time. It reads:

“Ten thousand Aiel linking arms and singing, trying to remind a madman of who they were and who he had been, trying to turn him with their bodies and a song. Jaric Mondoran killed them. He stood there, staring as though at a puzzle, killing them, and they kept closing their lines and singing. I am told he listened to the last Aiel for almost an hour before destroying him. And then Tzora burned.”

A humanoid figure with red-orange weaves of power emanating from them. This power is used to destroy all mirrors in the room.
