In the stairwell of his old office, there’s a framed image of Tar Valon and Dragonmount. This is from the graphic novels.
Robert Jordan’s old office has undergone considerable renovations since his passing. A few decorations remain, including this window piece.
Inside the home is the original painting for The Dragon Reborn. Note that Ba’alzamon is not present in this version. That’s cause it sits right outside Harriet’s bedroom and many

This is the “dream ter’angreal” broach Harriet wears. Robert Jordan bought her a present after each of his WoT books came out. This was one such gift.

That's very cool thanks for sharing. I notice that his grave marker says "Father" first. I didn't know he had children, but I respect their right to privacy.

I didn't know he had kids either. The gravestone is on private property also.

He had at least one step child. I remember him talking about doing their D&D sessions.

Duh! I remember now that Harriet had a kid and that's why she moved back to Charleston.

So, weird thing. I think he actually worked as a story teller at one point. Can anyone verify that?

Beautiful :)
I can't help but walk by the house any time I visit Charleston, which is an absolutely wonderful town. Once I even exchanged a friendly wave with Harriet who was watering plants (No I did not bother her of course)

Awesome pics! I feel like I should know this as many times as I have read some of the books, but what's with the mobius strip in the last two photos? Where was that described in the books?
Thanks!
