The Strike at Shayol Ghul details Lews Therins attempt to shut the bore.
Speaking of the Strike at Shayol Ghul, there is The World of Robert Jordan's a Wheel of Time also known affectionetly as the Big White Book (BWB) or Big Book of Bad Art (BBBA). It delves into a lot about cultures, features write ups of each forsaken, pokes fun at the covers and includes the entire text of Strike.
There was a short story called New Spring included in Robert Silverberg's Legends, this was later expanded into the novella New Spring
The short story about Bao is not considered connanical and is included in the short story collection Unfettered
Eye of the world was re-released for a YA market in two parts with a new prologue Ravens

The Wheel of Time FAQ back in the mists of time (late 90's early aughts) this was the best resource for all things WoT related. It hasn't been significantly updated since about book 10 (i mean, yes there were updates, but nothing on the scale and detail that it used to get). Gives great insight into what the fandom was pulling its hair out about during the two years+ between books. Also, some of the info is evergreen like historical references etc.
There was a terrible video game that has almost zero to do with the series.
There was a d20 based D&D rule set released and a adventure that explained how Taim got to Rand in time to rescue himat Dumai's Wells. RJ later came out and said that this was completely made up by the authors of the module and had nothing to do with the series, which was a BIG clue about Taim's allegiance.
I feel like im missing something, but I can't put my finger on it, so I will leave you with a random fact that you should know
Tar Valon is a vagina
The anthologies aren't random - he edited them.
The anthologies aren't expensive:
Also, they're full of short stories from other great authors.
If you're willing to pay $7.00 for the graphic novel, why would you complain about shelling out an extra $0.99 for text with bonus stories? Digital piracy is not paying the iron price. It's more like the Sorefoot King price - stumbling along whining about what you're entitled to but haven't earned.
Edit - Corrected "Heroes" to "Warriors", "print" to "text", and added links to Amazon for the Kindle versions
Absolutely. The tourney scenes in the Hedge Night alone are worth shelling out for.
You can get the e-versions on Amazon for $8 bucks each.
If you have some kind of eReader, then the Kindle editions of the anthologies are reasonably priced.
Legends (The Hedge Knight, D&E 1) $12.43
Legends II (The Sworn Sword, D&E 2) $8.88
Warriors (The Mystery Knight, D&E 3) $12.47
The first three were released as part of a larger collection of novellas from other popular fantasy writers. I'll break it down for you, since I have all 3 of them on my kindle...
The Hedge Knight is included in this book: Legends
The Sworn Sword is in this book: Legends II
The Mystery Knight is in this book: Warriors
The other novellas that are included in these collections are also pretty good, so if you're in to fantasy you might as well check them out. Maybe you'll discover a writer you really like and decide to read more of their stuff.
Here's the bad news about D&E.. Each book of D&E is in a separate anthology, so you need to buy 3 different books to read them. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most of us download the PDFs with the intention on buying the D&Es when they get released as a single book (which will happen after the 4th story is released).
Here's the books you'd need to buy to read the three released D&E stories:
Legends, Legends 2, and Warriors.
I couldn't find the first one...I think that's the first one.more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_Dunk_and_Egg
Dunno if you can buy the individually as an e-book, but I read 'em in different anthologies.
The Hedge Knight was in Legends.
The Sworn Sword was in Legends II.
The Mystery Knight was in Warriors
I know - The FAQ takes you to this page on amazon that lets you buy the kindle version of the first anthology. Here is the second and here is the third.
Legends
The Dunk & Egg novellas aren't available for sale anywhere individually or as a collection (yet). They are available only in anthologies combined with the work of other authors, as they were originally published. These anthologies are available for kindle:
GRRM plans on publishing a collection of all the Dunk & Egg stories eventually (after he has published the 4th story IIRC), but no word on when that will be.
