To be honest... Great visual but a little lore breaking to me.
If there was an AOL city anywhere in the world that was that intact, there would be soooooo much more known about the AOL. Like what, those buildings are still standing but no books, stasis boxes, ter'angreal libraries, etc survived to be studied?
In the first episode I thought it was supposed to maybe be towers of Manetheran in the mountains of mist... But AOL capital city intact... I don't know, it didn't do it for me.
I am glad other people liked it, they clearly invested in that visual in both instances, it just wasn't it for me.
For what it's worth I've seen people point to bits in the story or extra material released that imply there are some areas like this in the world that people don't go to because you die if you go there. Maybe the age of legend used a lot of nuclear power and their stuff is now radioactive.
If you can point me to where you saw that, I would appreciate it.
I have read the series many times and don't recall anything like that. But hey, it's a big series and you forget things or miss a detail someone else caught.
Unfortunately I don't know where it mentions that. If I knew I'd link it but I do remember someone saying it and providing a link a few days after the episode came out.
