I'd rather prefer to have this game be a game of B Nomic, not a game of 
'Wheel of Time RPG'. Yes, we've incorporated outside things before, 
such as the Force and Football, but always in minor amounts; you're 
suggesting reshaping the entirety of the game around WoT. Also, the way 
your system is set up, knowledge of the books is practically essential, 
since the Ministers of the Source are expected to permit/forbid things 
according to the book; football and the force could be played with even 
by someone who had never heard of either, simply by reading the rule.

Again, as a private theme park, this would be fine; but I'd rather not 
see the entire game built up around it.
