The second prequel was to be the story of how Tam al'Thor found baby Rand on Dragonmount and returned to the Two Rivers. The third was to be the story of how Moiraine and Lan arrived at the Two Rivers just in the nick of time.
At this point we do not know if Robert Jordan left notes on the second and third prequels or if they will ever be written. Books in Print and Barnes&Noble give an ISBN of 0-7653-0630-1 for the second prequel hardcover and Books in Print gives a mass market paperback ISBN of 0-7653-4546-3. Books in Print and Barnes&Noble give an ISBN of 0-7653-0631-X for the third prequel hardcover. Books in Print gives a mass market paperback ISBN of 0-7653-4547-1.
In addition to the main chronology and the three prequel novellas, Robert Jordan said that he had an idea that might lead to another two or three novels set in the Wheel of Time world. These would be "outrigger" stories, not a part of the main storyline. He said he had to think about them and flesh out the idea for a couple of years before deciding whether or not they would be worth writing, so it seems doubtful that he left sufficient background notes for the books to ever be written.
The following note appeared in the April 2005 issue of Locus magazine:
ROBERT JORDAN sold the first three books in his new Infinity of Heaven series, "high fantasy with a touch of Shogun," to Tom Doherty at Tor.
The storyline of this new series was to be a fellow shipwrecked on a land with a Seanchan-like culture. Robert Jordan planned to begin writing this new series after he finished the main chronology of The Wheel of Time.
