Quick Guide: The Top 7 Wheel of Time Highlights
If you are unfamiliar with RAFO, or Read and Find Out, this is a famous response from Robert Jordan to fans when they asked about some mystery in the series that he didn't want to answer. And, it's a tradition Brandon has carried on with fans, both while he was writing The Wheel of Time, and now in his interactions with fans of his own series.

2. Brandon says there is only one more Unreleased Wheel of Time Scene
Brandon explains that the last unreleased Wheel of Time scene that he wrote deals with Rand's engagement to Aviendha, Elayne, and Min. He points out that it is only two pages long, and just didn't fit into the narrative of the moment. He believes that fan may see it some day in the future.
Listen to Brandon explain why they didn't include that scene in the books
According to Brandon, Robert Jordan's Notes are the one place that remains for fans to get new information about The Wheel of Time. He gives the example of a note Jordan's assistants discovered the Jordan had written many years ago, perhaps around the time of The Path of Daggers, involving the use of the Choedan Kal in place of Callandor.
