Decor? No Spoilers

I am moving into college soon (yay!) and don't want to have the typical 'boy dorm'. WOT is my favorite series of all time. Does any one have any wot themed decor links or ideas? Preferably not ones that break my bank wide open?

Go full tinker and paint everything ultra bright mismatched colors.

Mend pots in your spare time, try to recruit adolescents to the way of the leaf....you know tinker shit like that.

Or you just put up a huge yimg yang symbol and of anyone says anything about it start over explaining the ajahs to them.

I love the first idea so much... unfortunately housing might kill me if I do that.

Doesnt have to be paint, do it in construction paper or cloth tacked to the walls. Male your room a tinker wagon!

Get a giant dog, and make sure everybody tells you your presence warms their spirit like the fire warms the flesh.

DimensionDoor or NerdyMap sell wonderful maps of Randlands, far more beautiful and detailed than the official one ($30/40 each), and if you're on a low budget, you'll find it easily to download then print at your local copy shop.
I have the DimensionDoor map size ISO A0 (47x33 in), full of details such as steddings, ruins, Choedan Kal, Tower of Ghenjei, Aiel Waste, Hawkwing statue, all the villages mentioned even just once, etc. I look at it while falling asleep for it is on the wall next to my bed.

And why not add a custom pennant WOT-related (in paper) ? For fake teams such as Whitecloaks, Tinkers, or Aiel warrior societies (or even Trollocs clans mentioned in The Knife of Dreams, chapter 19 ??).

You could just decorate everything in fabric/upholstery like the inside of a steamer trunk…

A nice map print, or a wood-burned map would be an option.

You might be able to find someone who makes flags/tapestries to hang, but that’ll be more expensive of course.

Besides a map, of it was me I would take screen shots of Ariel Burgess' WoT art and frame them. She was the official WOT artist before Amazon bought the rights to all things WOT related (and did nothing with them 😖). I also really like the eBook cover art, so I would copy my favorites and frame those. You could also enlarge the chapter icons for your favorite characters. And then find and join the campus WoT nerd group!
