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,

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."

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

A complete compilation of predictive passages from EOW-FOH

October, 92 compilation and the Internet's FAQ
1. Histories from the Fourth Age.
2. Prophecy.

i. Aviendha.
ii. Moiraine.
7. Eelfinn.
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.

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.

i. The Karaethon Cycle
a. portions of the Karaethon Cycle as recounted by
various characters
2.01 <EOW, Chapter 13, pp158-159>
"One of the Prophecies says that the Stone of Tear will
never fall until the People of the Dragon come to the
Stone. Another says the Stone will never fall until the
Sword That Cannot be Touched is wielded by the Dragon's
hand...The Fall of the Stone will be one of the major
signs that the Dragon has been reborn.(fulfilled)" (From
the Prophecies of the Dragon, as related by Thom Merrilin
to Rand al'Thor).
2.02 <TGH, Chapter 5, The Shadow in Shienar, p56>
"For he shall come like the breaking dawn, and shatter the
world again with his coming, and make it anew.(uncertain)"
(quoted by Siuan Sanche, (then)The Amyrlin Seat raised
from the Blue Ajah).
2.03. <TGH, Chapter 26, Discord, p387>&<TSR, Chapter 9,
Decisions, p180>
"Twice and twice shall he be marked,
Twice to live, and twice to die,
Once the heron to set his path.(fulfilled)
Twice the heron, to name him true.(fulfilled)
Once the Dragon for remembrance lost.(fulfilled)
Twice the Dragon for the price he must
pay.(uncertain)"(quoted by Thom Merrilin to Rand al'Thor
in Cairhien)
2.04 <TGH, Chapter 26, Discord, p387>
"Twice dawns the day when his blood is shed.
Once for mourning, once for birth.
Red on black, the Dragon's blood stains the rock of Shayol
Ghul.
In the Pit of Doom shall his blood free men from the
Shadow.(unfulfilled)"(quoted by Thom Merrilin to Rand
al'Thor in Cairhien)
2.05 <TGH, Chapter 8, The Dragon Reborn, p110>
"When the winds of Tarmon Gai'don scour the earth, he will
face the Shadow and bring forth Light again in the
world.(unfulfilled)" (quoted by Siuan Sanche, The Amyrlin
Seat)
2.06 <TGH, Chapter 22, Watchers, p275>
"Five ride forth, and four return. Above the watchers
shall he proclaim himself, bannered cross the sky in
fire.(fulfilled)" (quoted by Vandene, Aes Sedai of the
Brown Ajah).
2.07 <TDR, Chapter 6, The Hunt Begins, p57>
"He has yet to break the nations, or shatter the world.
Even scholars who have studied the Prophecies for their
entire lives do not know how to interpret them all. What
does it mean that he shall 'slay his people with the sword
of peace, and destroy them with the leaf'(unfulfilled)?
What does it mean that he 'shall bind the nine moons to
serve him'(unfulfilled)? Yet these there are given equal
weight with Callandor in the Cycle. There are others. What
'wound of madness and cutting of hope'(uncertain) has he
healed? What chains has he broken, and who put into
chains?(fulfilled)" (quoted by Moiraine Damodred, Aes
Sedai of the Blue Ajah)

"Power of the Shadow made human flesh,

The Reborn One, marked and bleeding,

Sedai of the Blue Ajah)

"There was no guide to how they were connected, or what
they were supposed to do; the Prophecies never mentioned
companions."(Moiraine's thoughts in the Heart of the
Stone)
2.11 <TSR, Chapter 21, Into the Heart, p244>
"Into the heart he thrusts his sword,
into the heart, to hold their hearts.(fulfilled)
Who draws it out shall follow after,
What hand can grasp that fearful blade?(uncertain)"
(quoted by Rand al'Thor)
b. commentaries and translations from the Third Age on
the Karaethon Cycle
2.12 <TGH, ix>
"And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be
shattered, and the Shadow shall lie across the Pattern of
the Age, and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand
upon the world of man. 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." (related by
Vandene, Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah)

for he shall be born among us many times, in many guises,
as he has been and ever will be, time without end. 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

(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

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,

the fires of heaven purge the earth. There is no salvation

the Sword That Cannot Be Touched. The Aiel have come over
the Dragonwall to his call; I have seen several in the
streets, and it is said they fill the Stone. The Stone of
Tear has fallen, and war breaks over the nations of the
land. Those who once ruled have returned, and been driven

Sedai serve him(fulfilled). You are proof of that, that

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."

"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

"...Without you, no one of our people will live beyond the
Last Battle. Perhaps not even until the Last Battle. 'He

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)

iv. Prophecy of the Horn of Valere.

"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)

"There are Darkfriends still, as well as Halfmen and
Trollocs, and those who come to the horn will follow
whoever winds it." (Moiraine speaking to Lord Agelmar in
Fal Dara)
2.28 <TGH, Chapter 5, The Shadow in Shienar, p55>
"Agelmar was familiar with the Prophecy of the Horn; most
who fought the Dark One were. "'Let whosoever sounds me
think not of glory, but only of salvation.'"(Moiraine
speaking with Suian)
2.29 <TGH, Chapter 47, The Grave Is No Bar To My Call, p560>
"'The Pattern weaves itself around our necks like
halters,' Artur Hawkwing said. 'You are here. The banner

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>

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

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)"

Seanchan-"...of Seanchan too, of women in dresses
with lightning bolts woven on their breasts, collaring a
long line of women who wore Great Serpent rings, forcing
them to call lightning against the White

Whitecloaks-"...binding her father's

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). There had been a dream of Mat and

Rand-"...sneaking through utter darkness toward
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

When he looked back to the table, Moiraine and Logain had
vanished, and Ba'alzamon sat there instead. Rand's whole
body vibrated with urgency; it hummed inside his head,
louder and louder. The hum became the pounding of blood in
his ears." (when Rand fell off the Caemlyn wall)

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>

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>
Perrin-"...a wolf(fulfilled); broken
crown(unfulfilled); and trees flowering around
him(unfulfilled)."<p181>
Mat-"...a red eagle(fulfilled); an eye on a balance
scale(fulfilled); a dagger with a ruby(fulfilled); a
horn(fulfilled); and a laughing face.(unfulfilled)"<p181>
Rand-"A sword that isn't a sword(fulfilled), a golden

iron(unfulfilled), three women standing over a funeral

you, some striking at you, some coming out of

for one thing. You and I will meet again."(Min in

Egwene-"A white flame, and...(unfulfilled)"
Elayne-"[Elayne'd] have to share her husband with two
other women(unfulfilled);...would be a queen...saw a

"He had spent very nearly his whole life mooning after
Egwene; he was not about to dive into that again until he
was sure. Sure of something. Sure. 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." (Moiraine's
thoughts in the Heart of the Stone)

"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)

other than 'until I come back.' But what?"(Moiraine's

"'Unless...Does this come from your answers in the
ter'angreal? Cairhien, and Callandor, and Rhuiidean? I
told you those answers can be cryptic. You could be
misunderstanding the, and that could prove fatal. To more
than you.'"(Moiraine in conversation with Rand)

"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

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,

life to finding the Dragon Reborn, finding Rand, and
seeing him ready to face the Last Battle. I will see that

"'...I will do everything short of sharing his bed to see
that he gets it.' The rings had told her that that would
be disaster. Not that she had ever considered it-the very
idea still shocked her!-but in the rings it was something
she would or could have considered in the future. It was a
measure of her growing desperation, no doubt, and in the
rings she had seen that it would bring ruination on
everything. She wished she could remember how-there were
keys to Rand al'Thor in anything she could learn about
him-but only the simple fact of calamity remained in her
mind."

Jay, no offense, but don't you have anything better to do
than ask me? I borrowed most of the stuff from compilations
done by other people. The rest was found when I reread TSR
and while my friend reread the series. It wasn't very hard
and didn't take that long to make. Besides, if I'm here to
discuss wot and I'm semi in charge of Jordan's fan club,
shouldn't I know what I'm talking about? Shouldn't I be >>>
interested in going indepth? And I've been here for three
years. Don't you think that Is Jaim alive? and who is Rand's
brother? get's pretty d*mn boreing the thousandth time I've
seen it? There are some of us who like to go beyond the
first obvious questions and give Jordan's works the credit
they are worth. Someone on Internet has CREATED a Dark One
Dictionary that's 40 something K. Hey, I'm not as bad as it
gets. Moiraine
Besides if you think I do all of these listings and etc,

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. Moiraine
Sorry to have jumped on your back before. I was a little
offended.

Lews, thanks for the support. I was beginning to think
that everyone just ignored all of my directional notes.
There's some new stuff in Export this that I typed out
from previous issue of The Chronicles. On the first issue,
I didn't have a laser printer, so I got someone else to
type out and print up the guide to WoT. Thus, I didn't
have the info in a file. So, Egwene's summary of Eye of
the World is available in the Export this subject now.

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.
Please remember that always...Moiraine

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>

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

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>

However, I could be completely wrong, and in the next

that Rand and Elayne ARE siblings, ala Return of the Jedi.

More than likely they'd just destroy the Pattern and that

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

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.

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.

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

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?????

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

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.
