To: ALL Date: 05/21 From: YXXB37B CHRISTOPHER MARTY Time: 2:20 AM

Just a thought, but when Rand finally does go to Tar Valon, and looks upon Dragonmount, will he see himself (Lews Therin) dying thousands of years in the past?Could this be another Lews "trying to take over point" in the story?

Who knows? ( besides Robert Jordan ) Maybe the stronger the flashback, the stronger the hold Lews Therin Telamon has over Rands personality. And seeing his own death would certainly be very strong.

I've also noticed that the more Rand channels, the more Lews tries to take over. If there is a Power war near Tar Valon, couldn't this place, above all else (except Shayol Ghul) be the place for Lews to finally take over? I think so.

It's possible. I think it would also depend on what he tries to channel, such as how much he tries to channel. But I'm not quite sure Lews is totally going to take over. Not because of anything in the story, I just don't think Rand al'Thor will disappear from the scene. I just can't wait to find out how R. Jordan will right it.

I don't think Rand willdissappear either. Maybe there will be some points where Lews is stronger, but in the end Rand will be the main personality. Oh, just realized- what if, in the end after the DO is killed or driven off, Lews is still in Rand's mind? Would he just go on living, having a second person inside him?

 I just thought - wouldn't Dragonmount be a good place for

Rand to get Lews out of his mind? It could be that Lews' memories get stronger and stronger, and then finally, right before he takes over Rand, the memory of his death comes and banishes those Lews memories for good.

Here is an idea. Lews will remain with Rand long enough to fight the Dark One. Then if Rand/Lews is still alive Rand al'Thor will be the dominant personality.

Either he'll (Lews) will somehow die out by seeing his own death, or he'll go crazy by remembering what he did even more. For that, I guess we will hear a lot of "Ilyena, forgive me!!"

You're all wrong, there's no other personality trying to take over Rand. Ya, ya. right. Bar tender, one more round! I can quite, anytime. Denial, that's the way to go. Actually, it SAYS in several spots: "let the Promised One be born of the mountain, according to the prophecies as he was in ages past and will be in ages to come…" "yet one shall be born to face the Shadow born once more as he was born before and shall be born gain, time without end." "And his paths shall be many, and who shall know his name, for he shall be born among us many times, inmany guises, as he has been and ever will be, time without end." Note the HE not THEY. If Rand was a composite entity, they would be a composite of different souls. Rand isn't. Rand is Lews. Rand is every Promised One of every Age of every Turning. There is one entity that is born again and again to fight the Dark One. As a matter of fact, in TSR, Egwene expresses the belief that everyone is reborn again in the next Age. I don't have the quote on hand, but I can post it if necessary. Moiraine

Pardon me my friends but I'm going to go hang myself in my living room…DRAT! Why is it that I always miss one thing-the most important thing, of course. Okay, then. If Rand is the "One" in all places, all time, then if he went to another world through a Portal Stone he would not find another Rand there? I think it said something of "other exact dimensions" or something of the like with the »> same people. Like the old Superman vs. bad Superman duel in an exact backward dimension.

I think like the Amber series, the Mirrors of the Wheel are only pale immitations of the real world. And I think Verin said that if the Dark One was let out in one mirror he would be let out in all realities. We haven't discussed the various worlds/realities of (sarcastically) "Randland." Moiraine

  I wasn't excactly aurguing this point.  In fact, you are

probably right. I believe, however, that Rand is having a little trouble with his memories. Wouldn't you be rather surprised if you remembered things that you believed never happened to you. It doesn't really matter that it's Rand's memories, it only matters that Rand believes that it's impossible for him to remember them. Perhaps when Rand goes to Dragonmount he will become at peace with his memories after remembering his death. Of course, he might go mad, like I would (G).

Yes, I agree, it's how he looks at his new memories. He views them as alien, thus they have been given the persona, Lews. Make sure to export the prophecies AND everything you find in "BEHOLD." You'll love it. Moiraine

   1. Histories from the Fourth Age. I have nothing to    

add to Mr. Millard's analysis on why these must be included as prophetic fragments towards Rand's future. Certainly, as he said, it must be taken into consideration that the passing of time might perhaps distort the amount of credible information that they provide. This is actually covered in the series during a conversation on the distortion of history between Thom and Elayne (TSR, Chapter 20, p230-231) on the Wavedancer. Additionally, the fact has been reinforced in each book during the beginning paragraph of the first chapter.

<note 2 of 22> 1.01 <EOW, Prologue, Dragonmount, xv> "And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. the oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the breaking of the world. And they named him Dragon." (from Aleth nin Taerin alta Camora, The Breaking of the World. Author unknown, the Fourth Age) 1.02 <EOW, prologue, Dragonmount, xv> "And it came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died. And men cried out to the Creator, saying, O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised One be born of the mountain, according to the prophecies, as he was in ages past and will be in ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time." (from Charal Drianaan te Calamon, The Cycle of the Dragon. Author unknown, the Fourth Age) [a portion of this ("And men cried out to the…the winds of time.) was also on p577, TGH, Chapter 50, After] 1.03 <TDR, Chapter 56, People of the Dragon, p675> "And it was written that no hand but his should wield the Sword held in the Stone, but he did draw it out, like fire in his hand, and his glory did burn the world. Thus did it begin. Thus do we sing his Rebirth. Thus do we sing the beginning." (from Do'in Toldara te, Songs of the Last Age, Quarto Nine: The Legend of the Dragon Composed by Boanne, Songmistress at Taralan, the Fourth Age) 1.04 <TSR, Chapter 58, The Traps of Rhuidean, p681> "And when the blood was sprinkled on ground where nothing could grow, the Children of the Dragon did spring up, the People of the Dragon, armed to dance with death. And he did call them forth from the wasted lands, and they did shake the world with battle." (from The Wheel of Time by Sulamein so Bhagad Chief Historian at the Court of the Sun, the Fourth Age.)

                                                          
   2. Prophecy. Much as Mr. Millard says, the prophecies  

of the Wheel of Time are often the most reliable and revealing sources of information given to us. The prophecy most central to the books, the Karaethon Cycle, is perhaps the best supplied. However, other prophecies which must come into consideration number, the Jendai Prophecy (The Sea Folk Prophecy), The Prophecy of Rhuidean (Aiel Prophecy), the Dark Prophecy found in Fal Dara, and the Cycle of the Horn. Included in this compilation is a passage from Vandene analyzing portions of the Karaethon Cycle and a passage from Verin that analyzes the Dark Prophecy. Both analysis provide the vital information needed to comprehend the complete import of the respective prophecies.

Women shall weep and men quail as the nations of the earth are rent like rotting cloth. Neither shall anything stand nor abide… "Yet one shall be born to face the Shadow, born once more as he was born before and shall be born again, time without end. The Dragon shall be Reborn, and there shall he clothe the people, and he shall break the world again by his coming, tearing apart all ties that bind. Like the unfettered dawn shall he blind us, and burn us, yet shall the Dragon Reborn confront the Shadow at the Last battle, and his blood shall give us the Light. Let tears flow, O ye people of the world. Weep for your salvation." (from The Karaethon Cycle: The Prophecies of the Dragon,as translated by Ellaine Marise'idin Alshinn, Chief Librarian at the Court of Arafel, in the Year of Grace 231 of the New Era, the Third Age.) 2.13 <TGH, Chapter 22, Watchers, p275> "'Five ride forth, and four return. Above the watchers shall he proclaim himself, bannered cross the sky in fire…' Well, it goes on. The point is, the word ma'vron. I say it should be translated not simply as 'watchers,' which is a'vron. Ma'vron has more importance to it. I say it means the Watchers Over the Waves, though they call themselves Do Miere A'vron, of course, not Ma'vron…But I believe it means the Dragon Reborn will appear somewhere above Toman Head, in Arad Doman, or Saldaea."

His coming shall be like the sharp edge of the plow, turning our lives in furrows from out of the places where we lie in our silence. The breaker of bonds; the forger of chains. The maker of futures; the unshaper of destiny." (from Commentaries on the Prophecies of the Dragon, by Jurith Dorine, Right Hand to the Queen of Almoren, 742 AB, the Third Age.) 2.15 <TSR, p9> "The Shadow shall rise across the world, and darken every land, even to the smallest corner, and there shall be neither Light nor safety. And he who shall be born of the Dawn, born of the Maiden, according to Prophecy, he shall stretch forth his hands to catch the Shadow, and the world shall scream in the pain of salvation. All Glory be to the Creator, and to the Light, and to he who shall be born again. May the Light save us from him." (from Commentaries on the Karaethon Cycle Sereine dar Shamelle Motara Counsel-Sister to Comaelle, High Queen of Jaramide (circa 325 AB), the Third Age) 2.16 <FOH, p9> "With his coming are the dread fires born again. The hills burn, and the land turns sere. The tides of men run out, and the hours dwindle. The wall is pierced, and the veil of parting raised. Storms rumble beyond the horizon, and the fires of heaven purge the earth. There is no salvation without destruction, no hope this side of death."

Those who once ruled have returned, and been driven back for the first time. Prophecy is being fulfilled." <p220>(fulfilled) "The Prophecy is being fulfilled. He is the Coramoor.

<note 6 of 22> Land(fulfilled)…In the dirt Urien scraped a circle with his spearpoint, then drew across it a sinuous line. 'It is said that under this sign, he will conquer.(fulfilled)'" (related by Urien, of the Two Spirers sept of the Reyn Aiel) 2.20 <TSR, Reflection, Chapter 3, p74> "In your Prophecies of the Dragon, the fall of the Stone and the taking of Callandor proclaim that the Dragon has been Reborn. Our prophecy says only that the Stone must fall before He Who Comes With the Dawn appears to take us back to what was ours. They may be one man, but I doubt even the Wise Ones could say for sure. If Rand is the one, there are things he must do yet to prove it." 2.21 <TSR, Chapter 25, The Road To The Spear, p286> "That one will come later…The stone that never falls will fall to announce his coming.(fulfilled) Of the blood, but not raised by the blood(fulfilled), he will come from Rhuidean at dawn, and tie you together with bonds you cannot break(fulfilled). He will take you back, and he will destroy you(uncertain)." (heard by Rand al'Thor as Mandein) 2.22 <TSR, Chapter 34, He Who Comes With The Dawn, p394> "…Without you, no one of our people will live beyond the Last Battle. Perhaps not even until the Last Battle.

(unfulfilled-validity as prophecy questionable) Who shall stand against her coming? The Shining Walls shall kneel.(unfulfilled) Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be.

The man who channels stands alone. He gives his friends for sacrifice. Two roads before him, one to death beyond dying, one to life eternal. Which will he choose? Which will he choose? What hand shelters? What hand slays? Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be.

Luc came to the Mountains of Dhoom. Isam waited in the high passes. The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill.

a. Verin's interpretation of the dark prophecy            

2.25 <TGH, Chapter 7, Blood Calls Blood, pp90-92> "'Daughter of the Night, she walks again.' That can only mean Lanfear is loose again. Or someone wants us to think she is…Other names are clear, too, Mother. Lord Luc, of course, was brother to Tigraine, then the Daughter-Heir of Andor, and he vanished in the Blight. Who Isam is, or what he has to do with Luc, I do not know, however…("Isam had been the son of Breyan, wife of Lain Mandragoran, whose attempt to seize the throne of Malkier for her husband had brought the Trolloc hordes crashing down. Breyan and her infant son had both vanished when the Trollocs overran Malkier. And Isam had been blood kin to Lan. Or is blood kin? I must keep this from him, until I know how he will react. Until we are away from the Blight. If he thought Isam were alive..[Moiraine's thoughts].") 'The Watcher's wait on Toman's Head,'…There are a few who still cling to the old belief that the armies Artur Hawkwing sent across the Aryth Ocean will return one day, though after all this time…The Do Miere A'vron, the Watchers Over the Waves, still have a…community is the best word, I suppose…on Toman Head, at Falme. And one of the old names for Artur Hawkwing was Hammer of the Light…Now, 'the ancient tree,'…There have always been rumors-no more than that-that while the nation of Almoth still lived, they had a branch of Avendesora, perhaps even a living sapling. and the banner of Almoth was 'blue for the sky above, black for the earth below, with the spreading Tree of Life to join them.' Of course, Taraboners call themselves the Tree of Man, and claim to be descended from rulers and nobles in the Age of Legends. And Domani claim descent from those who made the Tree of Life in the Age of Legends. There are other possibilities, but you will note, Mother, that at least three center around Almoth Plain and Toman Head…The Time of Change, of course, refers to the end of an Age, and the Great Lord-" (quoted from Verin Mathwin, Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah)

Prophecy of the Horn of Valere. 2.26 <EOW, Chapter 26, Whitebridge, p389> "In the last, lorn fight 'gainst the fall of long night,(unfulfilled) the mountains stand guard, and the dead shall be ward, for the grave is no bar to my call."(Thom reciting a verse from The Great Hunt of the Horn) 2.27 <EOW, Chapter 53, The Wheel Turns, p655> "There are Darkfriends still, as well as Halfmen and Trollocs, and those who come to the horn will follow whoever winds it."

   3. Foretellings. Mr. Millard did not place specific    

emphasis on the various Foretellings mentioned in the Wheel of Time, however they should be given equal weight with Dreaming, Viewings, and Prophecy as predictive of future events.

ii. Elaida's Foretellings. 3.01 <EOW, Chapter 40, The Web Tightens, p514> "…From this day Andor marches toward pain and division. The Shadow has yet to darken to its blackest, and I cannot see if the Light will come after. Where the world has wept one tear, it will weep thousands…Pain and division come to the whole world, and this man stands at the heart of it.(uncertain)"(Elaida's Foretelling of Rand al'Thor in Caemlyn) 3.02 <TSR, Seeds of Shadow, Chapter 1, p29> "The very first thing Elaida had ever Foretold, while still an Accepted-and had known enough even then to keep to herself-was that the Royal line of Andor would be the key to defeating the Dark One in the Last Battle.(uncertain)" (from Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan's, (then) Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah, thoughts in Tar Valon.)

ii. Diendre's Foretellings. 3.03 <TSR, Chapter 26, The Dedicated, p300> "Besides, the Da'shain yet have a part to play, if Deindre could only see far enough to say what.(unfulfilled)"<p300> "You will carry the…things…to safety, Jonai. Keep moving, always keep moving, until you find a place of safety, where no once can harm you.(fulfilled)"<p301> "Keep the Covenant, Jonai. If the Da'shain lose everything else, see they keep the Way of the Leaf. Promise me."<p301> "…And remember-keep moving. Keep the Aiel safe."(related by Solinda Sedai during the Breaking)<p301>

<note 9 of 22> iii. Gitara Moroso's Foretellings. 3.04 <TGH, Chapter 8, The Dragon Reborn, p109> "He is born again! I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slope of Dragonmount! He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the World! He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!(fulfilled)" (Foretelling by Gitara Moroso, (then) Keeper of the Chronicles) 3.05 <TSR, Chapter 34, He Who Comes With The Dawn, p392> "…disaster would befall her land and her people, perhaps the world, unless she went to dwell among the Maidens of the Spear, telling no one of her going. She[Tigraine] must become a Maiden, and she could not return to her own land until the Maidens had gone to Tar Valon.(fulfilled)" (related by Tigraine, (then) Daughter-Heir of Andor (also known as Shaiel) to Amys, of the Nine Valleys sept of the Taardad Aiel, and by Amys to Rand al'Thor)

                                                          
   4. Dreams. Between Egwene and Perrin's dreams, we      

discover perhaps more combined then through any other prophetic passeges in the entire series. In some ways they predict a greater scope of what is to come, but in most cases, the dream is fulfilled in the book it premiere's in. Just for reference, the Wise Ones on dreaming; "Almost anyone can touch Tel'aran'rhiod, but few can truly enter it. Of all the Wise Ones, we four alone can dreamwalk, and your Tower has not produced a dreamwalker in nearly five hundred years. It is not a thing of the One Power, though Aes Sedai believe it is. I cannot channel, nor can Seana, yet we dreamwalk as well as Amys or Melaine. Many people brush the World of Dreams in their sleep. Because they only brush against it, they wake with aches or pains where they should have broken bones or mortal hurts. A dreamwalker enters the dream fully, therefore her injuries are real on waking. For one who is fully in the dream, dreamwalker or not, death there is death here. To enter the dream too completely, though, is to lose touch with the flesh; there is no way back, and the flesh dies. It is said that once there were those who could enter the dream in the flesh, and no longer be in this world at all. This was an evil thing, for they did evil; it must never be attempted, even if you believe it possible for you, for each time you will lose some part of what makes you human. You must learn to enter Tel'aran'rhiod when you wish, to the degree you wish. You must learn to find what you need to find and read what you see, to enter the dreams of another close by in order to aid healing, to recognize those who are in the dream fully enough to harm you, to…" (<TSR, Chapter 23, Beyond the Stone, p272>)

i. Egwene's dreams. 4.01 <TGH, Chapter 12, Woven in the Pattern, p180> "First there had been a man with a mask over his face, and fire in place of his eyes. Despite the mask, she had thought he was surprised to see her. His look had frightened her till she thought her bones would break from shivering, but suddenly he vanished, and she saw Rand sleeping on the ground, wrapped in a cloak. A woman had been standing over him, looking down. Her face was in shadow, but her eyes seemed to shine like the moon, and

<note 10 of 22> Egwene had known she was evil. Then there was a flash of light, and they were gone. Both of them. And behind it all, almost like another thing altogether, was the feel of danger, as if a trap was just beginning to snap shut on an unsuspecting lamb, a trap with many jaws.(fulfilled)" (Dream of Egwene al'Vere) 4.02 <TDR, Chapter 25, Questions, pp233-234>

   Seanchan-"...of Seanchan too, of women in dresses

   Rand-"...reaching for a sword that seemed to be made   

of crystal, never seeing the fine net dropping over him(fulfilled). And one of him kneeling in a chamber where a parched wind blew dust across the floor, and creatures like the one on the Dragon banner, but much smaller, floated on that wind, and settled into his skin(unknown). There had been a dream of him walking down into a great hole in a black mountain, a hole filled with a reddish glare as from vast fires below(unfulfilled), and even a dream of him confronting Seanchan(fulfilled)."<p234>

   Perrin-"...with a falcon on his shoulder, and...with   

a hawk. Only the hawk held a leash in her talons-…both hawk and falcon were female-and the hawk was trying to fasten it around Perrin's neck(fulfilled)…with a beard!-leading a huge pack of wolves that stretched as far as the eye could see…(unfulfilled)"<p234>

   Mat-"...placing his own left eye on a balance          

scale(fulfilled)…hanging by his neck from a tree limb(fulfilled).

   Rand-"...holding a sword that blazed like a sun, till  

she could hardly see that it was a sword, could hardly make out that it was him at all(fulfilled)…[Rand] threatened in a dozen ways, none of them the least bit real(fulfilled)…on a huge stone's board, the black and white stones as big as boulder, and him dodging the monstrous hands that moved them and seemed to try to crush him under them. It could have meant something. It very probably did, but beyond the fact that Rand was in danger from someone, or two someones-she though that much was clear-beyond that, she simply did not know.(fulfilled)"<p352>

   Perrin-"...with a wolf, and with a falcon, and a       

hawk-the falcon and the hawk fighting(fulfilled)-…running from someone deadly(uncertain), and [Perrin] stepping willingly over the edge of a towering cliff while saying, "It must be done.

   "Men and women breaking out of a cage, then putting    

on crowns.(fulfilled) A woman playing with puppets, and another dream where the strings led to still greater puppets, on and on until the last strings vanished into unimaginable heights. Kings dying, queens weeping, battles raging. Whitecloaks ravaging the Two Rivers.(fulfilled) She had even dreamed of the Seanchan again. More than once.

Callandor, while all around him six men and five women walked, some hunting him and some ignoring him, some trying to guide him toward the shining crystal sword and some trying to stop him from reaching it, appearing not to know where he was, or only to see him in flashes. One of the men had eyes of flame, and he wanted Rand dead with a desperation she could nearly taste. She thought she knew him. Ba'alzamon(fulfilled)…Rand in that dry, dusty chamber again, with those small creatures settling into his skin(uncertain). Rand confronting a horde of Seanchan(unfulfilled). Rand confronting her, and the women with her, and one of them was a Seanchan…(unfulfilled)" 4.05 <TSR, Chapter 11, What Lies Hidden, p145>

If you had not come, he would have died. If Aan'allein had not come, you would have died. If you did not go through the rings-(fulfilled)"(Moiraine, Melaine, and Seana in conversation on Chaendaer) 4.17 <FOH, Chapter 53, Fading Words, p635> "'You are a fool, Rand al'Thor,…About this and many other things, you are a fool.'"

He had been a little boy again, carrying Tam's sword and with a cradle strapped to his back, running through empty streets, pursued by Mordeth, who shouted that he only wanted his hand.

   group-"When you're all in a group? Sparks swirling     

around you, thousands of them, and a big shadow, darker than midnight. Its so strong, I almost wonder why everybody can't see it. The sparks are trying to fill the shadow, and the shadow is trying to swallow the sparks…You are all tied together in something dangerous, but I can't make any more of it."

   Egwene-"The girl [Egwene]? She's part of it. And the   

gleeman. All of you. You're in love with her…She loves you too, but she's not for you, or you for her. Not the way you both want…When I look at her [Egwene] I see the same as when I look at…Mistress Alys [Moiraine]. Other

things, things I don't understand, too, but I know what that means. She won't refuse it.(fulfilled)"<p181>

   Lan-"...has seven ruined towers around his head, and   

a babe in a cradle holding a sword, and…(fulfilled)"<p181>

   Thom-"...a man-not him-juggling fire(fulfilled); and   

the White Tower, and that doesn't make any sense at all for a man.(uncertain)"<181>

crown(unfulfilled); and trees flowering around him(unfulfilled)."<p181>

You aren't bad-looking at all, but … Light, I don't even know if I am the one you'll choose. I don't know if I want you to choose me. Or will you try to dandle all three of us on your knee?

The long-hilted sword, like those most Warders used, had a heron engraved on its slightly curved blade, symbol of a blademaster, and Min could not say whether it belonged to Gawyn or threatened him.(fulfilled) The banner bore Gawyn's sigil of the charging White Boar, but on a field of green rather than the red of Andor.

gold and blue shone around his head, speaking of glory to come as surely as it had the first time she had seen it…(unfulfilled)"

   Edesina (Yellow Ajah) -"To Min's eyes, a silvery

aura, and a bull ripping roses from around its neck(fulfilled), and…If you(Siuan) want to stay alive, you had better stay close to him(Gareth Bryne).' Despite the heat, Min shivered. She had only ever had one other viewing with an "if" in it, and both had been potentially deadly.

If Dealings with the Territory of Mayene was to be believed…"(Rand's thoughts while dealing with the High Lords of Tear) 5.19 <TSR, Chapter 21, Into the Heart, p241> "Thom Merrilin had given him good advice; obviously her spies had missed some of the notes he had slipped into Rand's pockets. But the rest? It was madness. He could not have had this for an answer on the other side of that ter'angreal. It was not possible, surely."

I know who I mean to sit on the Sun Throne."(Rand al'Thor speaking in the Heart of the Stone) 5.21 <TSR, Chapter 21, Into the Heart, p244> "There is a suprise awaiting anyone who tries to channel Callandor out of the Stone, Moiraine. Do not think of taking it to the Tower for safekeeping; I could not make the trap pick and choose. The Power is all it needs to spring and reset, ready to trap again. I am not giving Callandor up forever. Just until I…"(Rand speaking to Moiraine) 5.22 <TSR, Chapter 21, Into the Heart, p245> "'Just until' what? He had been intending to say something other than 'until I come back.' But what?"(Moiraine's thoughts in the Heart of the Stone) 5.23 <TSR, Chapter 21, Into the Heart, p245> "'Unless…Does this come from your answers in the ter'angreal?

To more than you.'"(Moiraine in conversation with Rand) 5.24 <TSR, Chapter 24, Rhuidean, p274> "They never mentioned Rhuidean to me, Mat."(Rand speaking of his Aelfinn answers to Mat.)

c. What we know of Moiraine's answers                     

5.25 <TSR, Chapter 6, Doorways, p95> "No one may step through more than once. Only once. You may ask three questions, but you must ask all three and hear the answers before you may leave. Frivolous questions are punished, it seems, but it also seems what may be serious for one can be frivolous coming from another. Most importantly, questions touching the Shadow have dire consequences…If you asked about the Black Ajah, you might be returned dead, or come out a gibbering madwoman, if you came out at all. As for Rand…I am not certain it is possible to ask a question about the Dragon Reborn that does not touch the Shadow in some way."(Moiraine in conversation) 5.26 <TSR, Chapter 17, Deceptions, p195>

   6. Ter'angreal used by the Wise Ones in Rhuidean.      

Unlike the ter'angreal for the accepted in Tar Valon, the rings in Rhuidean used by the Aiel to be elivated to Wise Ones is known to prophecize certain inevitable future events. The reason for including the evidence of what happened in the rings is best supported by Amys's description of the ter'angreal, "'In Rhuidean,…you will find three rings, arranged so…Step through any one. You will see your future laid before you, again and again, in variation. They will not guide you wholly, as is best, for they will fade together as do stories heard long ago, yet you will remember enough to know some things that must be, for you, despised as they may be, and some that must not, cherished hopes that they are…"(<TSR, Chapter 23, Beyond the Stone, p266>)

Jay, also, I think I misunderstood you. You think that I write these all up on-line from a printed copy? No way. I have everything in a text file and I've figured out that Prodigy's messages are roughly sixty character's wide and sixty one-sixty two lines long. I have adapted all of the files I want to be uploadable into this format heading each "note" with a <note 1 of x> so that I know how much to copy to the clip board. I have Prodigy for Windows, so what I do is cut and paste things onto the bulletin board. It doesn't take me more than 20-30 minutes of Plus time to post everything I have in files. Also, I archive all of our conversations here in WoT. So, what I do is every week or so, export everything in this subject and then reply to the notes as I'm reading all in a text editor while I'm off-line. Then get on Prodigy again and paste my replies where I want them. For the past two or three months, I haven't gone over my two hour alotment and ever since I've started exporting, I've never gone over four hours. I save money this way! You should think of doing it.

I meant dimwit affectionately. I'm a trifle annoyed that everyone seems to ignore me. If you took it the wrong way, I will break our rules for once and say I'm sorry. You must understand that for everyone's protection we devised a rule that under no circumstances may anyone in this club write anything that is meant to be offensive. The reason being because there was a bunch of misunderstandings about a year or so ago which lead to the infamous apoligy board. Our members found the whole thing so rediculous that we promised eachother never to say the S word again (s o r r y). This means that if we find something on the board personally offensive, take a second and try to find another way of looking at it. I assure that I think that absolutely no one on the Robert Jordan board is really a dimwit. I hang out here for the intelligent conversations that do occur much more often then anywhere else I've been. Again, if I offended you, I assure that it was not intended to offend.

What if we look at the motives for killing Asmodean? Someone didn't want Rand learning about his powers, but Lanfear always said she wanted him to learn so they could rule together. After falling into the Ter'angreal, even if she got back, would she really want Asmodean dead? (Regrettable - I liked him.) And what about Lan and Nynaeve? Moiraine's an interesting > lady, but would she really be kind enough to give Lan to Nynaeve after she died? Especially since Nynaeve seems only to want to destroy Moiraine… I'm lost on the Tigraine/Shaiel thing, though. I guess I'm really behind on some things…Anyone care to explain? Has anyone noticed how close the names Ilyena and Elayne sound? Is this foreshadowing? Lews married Ilyena - will Rand marry Elayne??? Just some thoughts, but let me know what you think.

I'm not sure about motives for killing Asmodean. As for Moiraine, she's not as severe as she seems. She WANTS Nynaeve and Lan to be together, though she knows Nynaeve is set against her. Remember, Nynaeve hates her for doing something she had to do to save the world, bring the Two Rivers people into the fight, so it's really an unfounded hatred. I wouldn't be surprised if Nynaeve becomes a Blue,> and becomes very much like Moiraine. Ok, Tigraine/Shaiel: in the first few books, Tigraine was listed in the glossary. She was the Daughter-heir of Andor, and married Taringail Damodred, bearing a son, Galad. Then her brother Luc disappeared, and so did she, into the Waste a few years before the Aiel War. Shaiel appeared in the Waste a few years before the war, too, and asked to become a Far Dareis Mai. She said she regretted leaving her husband and baby son on the other side of the Spine. Near the start of the Aiel War, she and a clan chief fell in love, and during the war she got pregnant and kept fighting, all the> way to Dragonmount, where she gave birth to Rand and died. Her Aiel husband (if they actually married, I forgot) led a squad into the Blight, and in one battle he was given a fatal wound. He returned to his squad and said the man who killed him looked like Shaiel. If Shaiel IS Tigraine, then the man who killed Rand's father was Luc, since, being brother and sister, they should have a family resemblance. And Luc has turned evil through merging with Isem, if that's what he did. So it all makes sense.

As for Elayne/Ilyana, yeah I too noticed. The Wheel weaves→ in mysterious ways <G>. Rand will probably marry Elayne. And Aviendha. And Min. Min knows she has to share Rand, as does Elayne, and among Aviendha's people, it's acceptable for a man to have more than one wife, and since they're all friends, they'll probably live with it. Rand will be a very tired husband, though <VBG>

Nynaeve's dislike for Moi probably has more to do with Lan than the Two Rivers folk. I think the Battle Ajah is the only one suitible for a woman comitted to marrying the king of Malkier.

How can all three share him?  Lets say Rand is to prudish 

to have three wives. (Or maybe to smart? Ha Ha). Scenario:

3 to share Rand: 1. Elayne Bonds him as warder.

                2. Min marries Rand.                      
                3. Aviendha and Rand have child.  There   

was some indication this might already be started. »> When Wise Women & Avi were talking in Cairhein about Avi's success with Rand might be better than thought, they quickly stopped talking when Rand was around - flimsy, but possible support.

Wait a minute, how can you make the assumption that Shaiel and Tigraine are the same person? I'm confused. Would that make Rand and Elayne related somehow?

Easy to make the assumption: all the facts fit together. Tigraine disappeared into the Waste shortly before the Aiel War. Shaiel was found in the Waste shortly before the Aiel War. Tigraine was married to Taringail and had baby son Galad. Shaiel regretted leaving her husband and baby behind. Tigraine's brother, Luc, disappeared into the Blight, and we have seen his return, evil. Rand's dad said he was killed→ by a man in the Blight that looked like Shaiel. Family resemblance. But don't worry! Elayne and Rand aren't related. Rand and Galad are. They shared the same mother. Elayne's dad is Galad's dad, so they're related as well. Elayne and Rand have no parent in common, but technically Rand should have some sort of Andoran title of nobility in addition to all his other titles he's accumulated, because his mom was once the Daughter-Heir of Andor. Everything fits together, if you just look. It's the Wheel's way of weaving the Patterns of all these people together <G>

More than likely they'd just destroy the Pattern and that would be the end. THE end. Not just an ending. When Moiraine warns Rand not to use Balefire, she says something to this effect. I think she mentions it when Rand kills the Dark Hounds that try to kill mat at the beginning of FOH. I don't have FOH right now so I cannot be more specific. Moiraine

That would create such huge paradoxes…I don't like it, largely because it would mean nothing in any of the books ever happened. Rand & co. would cease to exist if he did that (if such an huge channeling is even POSSIBLE) because of the immense change. I doubt the Pattern could handle such a strain, such a key thread being ripped out so far back. It would fall apart like a tapestry that had threads> torn out from the middle, threads that connected to countless others and were involved in key connections. That is the analogy that is used for the Pattern throughout the series; applying it here makes it seem unlikely that such a massive use of balefire would be the ending. In addition, from a purely aesthetic viewpoint, it seems like a collasal copout; that nothing ever really happened because it was all undone. No Last Battle or anything.

Add to that paradox our understanding of the Dark One's prison (i.e., he's imprisoned by the Wheel of Time which weaves the Pattern but is also somehow woven back *into* the Pattern). Therefore, destroying the Pattern would destroy the Wheel which would free the DO.

Stupid man, he's had more dreams than anyone else combined. To bad their all non prophetic! Moiraine

But what good would his freedom be if the universe were destroyed? REALLY. Moiraine

There are all sorts of avenues left open to "evil deities" in fantasy once their universe is destroyed. Most notably, I'll refer you to Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone series. The primary goal of the Lords of Chaos (the controlling evil entities) was to destroy the universe (at the end of a millenium) in order to recreate it under their own fashion. They succeeded quite well. –Machin

  In the next book, Lord of Chaos, does anyone think Rand 

will start kick some Red Ajah butt? They no longer have a reason for existing now that Rand has claimed all men who can channel.

  Another thought, how will Rand keep from going crazy? I 

think he will get the two great sa'angreal, get Nynaeve (the strongest woman) and together they will somehow cleanse Saidin. Rand made a comment about this somewhere in Fires of Heaven. He was wondering if there was some possibility of shielding or cleansing Saidin.

                             Any comments????

It seems to be a good possibility that the taint will be healed.If the Eye of the World was created by tapping through the taint and the Aes Sedai back then were able to get some of the pure saidin,then that shows that it must be possible still.There must be some flaws to the DO's taint,in order for that to happen.Also,if the DO has the ability to taint saidin,then most likely there is a way to cleanse it. The only thing is,though,I have thought all along (and also because of some of RJ's comments) that there is going to be some twist to all of this.I think he has some ultimate scheme worked out that will be much different at the end of the series than the "happily ever after" endings we see in most series' endings.Everything right now seems to fall right into Rands hands,not easily,but still a little too easy.Somehow I think that RJ is "lulling" us into a false sense of security and that he is going to "drop the hammer" sometime soon and that Rand is going to find things much tougher than we realize (or Rand realizes).I think that the ending is going to be something that none of us expect. And I kind of hope that is how it will be because the series is already different from any I personally have read and to have a different ending than most would surely make this series stick out in my mind even more than it already does. I think we are going to have a bittersweet ending.But,I certainly am not RJ,and I certainly don't know.(But I'd like to…..)

Interesting note, the eye of the world was made with thirteen of the weakest male channelers. I think the words were "just barely trained" or something like that.

Anyways on to the Red Ajah.  There has been questions     

about what the different ajahs did before the breaking. I believe that with a lost of power athey had to divide their responsiblities. The red on the other hand started something entirly new. Why?

  Well, We know there were Aei Sedai that went to the dark

side during the war of the Shadow. Therefore the begining of the Black Ajah. Now, the Dark one also knows that as the first Dragon dies, it will be the second dragon that defeats him again. So, who better to look for that next Dragon than Aei Sedai, and who better to deal with him than an Ajah who's purpose is to hunt down men that can channel. Therefore I believe the Red Ajah was started and is still almost entirely Black Ajah. I'm sure there are member of the Red Ajah that are not Black Ajah, such as Elaida whom I believe is truely afraid of men that can channel.

 Well, can't think of anything else to say <G>.

Ronald, I also doubt that Elaida is black ajah. Her Keeper of the Chronicles is black ajah and is trying to undermine Elaida.

 I personally think that Rand should gather all red ajah  

together, give them the opportunity to pick another color or be permanently stilled. He must learn to be hard and deal with his enemies harshly. (Aiel philosophy) —→» If Rand had the Great sa'angreal, the statuette, could a circle of thirteen manage to shield him. They refer to the process as being ALMOST impossible to overcome by a male channeler. The word 'almost' would indicate that a very strong individual with the ultimate sa'angreal could overcome the circle. Any comments?????

                                Sincerely,   Jay

Oh, contraro, Rogosh. The Eye of the World was made with a hundred women and men working in unison and all gave their lives in the effort. <EOW, Chapter , Meetings at the Eye, (p744)> "It was the first days of the Breaking of the World, when the joy of victory over the Dark One turned bitter with the knowledge that all might yet be shattered by the weight of the Shadow. A hundred of them made it, men and women together. The greatest Aes Sedai works were always done so, joining _saidin_ and _saidar,_ as the True Source is joined. They died, all, to make it pure, while the world was torn around them. Knowing they would die, they charged me to guard it against the need to come. It was not what I was made for, but all was breaking apart, and they were alone, and I was all they had. It was not what I was made for, but I have kept the faith." Of course, now we know that it was NOT in the first days after the defeat of the Dark One, though perhaps it WAS in the first days of the Breaking. Coulin was sixteen when the Dark One was resealed into Shayol Ghul and it must have been over sixty three years after that that the Eye of the World was made and when the Stone was created and Callandor put in place. Because Jonai was sixty three when he left the Hall of Servants and Paaren Disen (Paradise). It's my theory that where Shayol Ghul and the Blight now lies is where Collam Daan once lay beneath the Sharom, but that's only a guess. Moiraine

Maybe some ancient Aes Sedai (Male) hid off in Shara during the aftermath of the breaking. Finds Rand. Teaches Him.

I'm not sure about motives for killing Asmodean. As for
Moiraine, she's not as severe as she seems. She WANTS
Nynaeve and Lan to be together, though she knows Nynaeve
is set against her. Remember, Nynaeve hates her for doing
something she had to do to save the world, bring the Two
Rivers people into the fight, so it's really an unfounded
hatred. I wouldn't be surprised if Nynaeve becomes a Blue,
and becomes very much like Moiraine.

I love you! Do you know that? I mean, that's exactly what I think about Moiraine's character and suprisingly that's exactly what I think about Nynaeve. I think that they are much more alike than Nynaeve is willing to admit to and I've often thought that it would be extremely ironic if she chose Blue Ajah and continue Moiraine's fight against the Dark One w/ Lan at her side (when Myrelle passes him on to her). I thought it would be ironic, that doesn't mean that it will necessarily happen, or even that I put too much stock in it happening. I just believe that Nynaeve and Moiraine are much more similar then Egwene and Moiraine. To add to that list, I think Moghedian's right in there w/ them which explains why Nynaeve took such a liking to her specifically. I think Moghedian is A-(loaned out my FOH book)(she's the one who dresses like Birgitte-also ironic). As for Elayne possibly being Ilyena reborn. I'm not sure that Ilyena could channel. I've raised this point when someone tried to place a timeperiod on when Lews must have broken up w/ Lanfear by and have married Ilyena. The War of the Shadow lasted for three generations. From when Charn was probably in his twenties to when his grandson, Coumin was sixteen and it was announced that the Forsaken had been bound w/ the Dark One in Shayol Ghul. At the least, the War of the Shadow must have lasted sixty years (nothing near the ten years that Lews cited in EOW) Therefore, it is altogether possible that Ilyena was born at the beginning of the War of the Shadow had Lews's children mid war and had grown to mid age by the end of the War, if she was unable to channel. Consider this also. For Lews to have died when he did, that meant that the War was over and the Forsaken already bound. As a matter of fact, it could have been any number of years AFTER the War that Lews actually went mad and killed everyone who was close to him. Also, Lews was middle aged looking when he died, and Moghedien was two hundred years old when she is imprissoned and considered still young for an Aes Sedai. Thus, Lews could have been over four hundred centuries years old when he died. Consider the number of relatives he could have had by then if Ilyena was able to channel and had been a part of his life for a couple of centuries. I imagine that they only spent a small portion of Lews's life together and that he only had a handful of kids when he went mad and did the act that named him Kinslayer. Thus, I don't think that Ilyena could channel. Additionally, she didn't save her children or anything which she might have been able to do should she have been able to channel. I imagine that she would have protected her children, at least, if she had the opportunity to do so. Clearly she didn't.
