There are plot summaries of each of the chapters in all the books. Following the summaries there are notes explaining what ''really'' happened and providing links to the [WoT FAQ|http://wotfaq.dragonmount.com] and other sources where the information is discussed. There are cross-references everywhere. Within those summaries and notes are links to the characters, places and everything else in there. When you go to those links, there will be a link back to where you came from as well as links to wherever else that item is referenced. You can follow links from [The Eye of the World, Chapter 2|TEotW,Ch2], to [Lan], to [Moiraine], to [Aes Sedai] and on and on. If you've ever visited [The Internet Movie Database|http://us.imdb.com/], you'll know what we mean about an abundance of cross-references. Gary Kephart looked around on the Web for something like this and did not find a match, so he decided to start his own. Don't get us wrong; there were/are several good references out there that contain complementary material:

Back in the late 1990's, Gary had been reading the Usenet newsgroup [rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan|http://www.faqs.org/faqs/sf/robert-jordan-faq/] for a while and noticed that many of the posters were having trouble recalling just where in the series a particular event occurred, or perhaps what the name of a certain character was. He realized that some sort of online reference material was needed. Something that did for the Wheel of Time like the [Internet Movie Database|http://us.imdb.com] does for movies. Looking around on the Web, he failed to find exactly what he was looking for (though like we said, he did find some good stuff), and so decided to do it himself.
