Robert Jordan has stated that he consciously intended the early chapters of The Eye of the World to evoke the Shire of Middle-Earth i
He admits that he copied everything .... shudder
The series starts in the Two Rivers (( the shire )) , a near-forgotten district of the country of Andor (( Arnor if I change one word, no one will notice!!)) .
An Aes Sedai (( wizzard )) , Moiraine (( gandalf )) , and her Warder Lan (( Aragorn, a prince in hiding )), arrive in the village of Emond's Field, secretly aware that servants of the Dark One are searching for a young man living in the area.
Moiraine is unable to determine which of three youths (Rand al'Thor (( frodo )) , Matrim Cauthon (( Sam )) , or Perrin Aybara (( MerryPippin )) ) is the Dragon Reborn, and leads all three of them from the Two Rivers, along with their friend Egwene al'Vere. Nynaeve al'Meara, the village wise-woman, later joins them. Gleeman Thom Merrilin also travels with the group.
The first novel depicts their flight from various agents of the Shadow and their attempts to reach the Aes Sedai city of Tar Valon.
