3 random questions:

 

Why doesn’t Rand realize Rahvin is in Andor before Lanfear tells him?  Asmodean tells Rand that something along the lines of ‘He running a kingdom with a Queen as a plaything’.   How many kingdom's are ran by Queens??

Did Mat/Elayne/Thom never mention that Morgase has a random new lover?

 

Why does Moraine think the plan with Siuan about Rand will work?  Plan I’m talking about is that Siuan is supposed to be approaching all the rulers announcing Rand is the Dragon.  Like the Forsaken are running most of the kingdoms and she knows about at least Illian. Shouldn’t Moraine be smart enough to know that many of the other kingdoms are probably in the same boat? So the announcement isn’t likely to do what she thinks it will.

 

Why do Mat and Perrin not tell Rand about there ‘powers’?

Mat actually told Rand when he saw him in Tear. He just did not know which Forsaken it was, only that one was there, and called himself Gaebril.

 

Lanfear told him, and Rand did nothing, because he suspected that it was a trap.

 

Moiraine also told Rand of Sammael being in Illian, and he himself knew he could not deal with Sammael, until he had a more trusted force behind him.

 

That meant getting the Aiel behind Rand. You notice that the Forsaken all did everything they could to avoid a full engagement with Rand once the Aiel recognized him.

Some nations in the Borderlands have a queen, a few of the southern nations have queens.  Rand also isn't getting up to the moment intel from all the nations.  Rand at this point is still pretty ignorant on the happenings of other nations.  

 

  I'm not sure Mat knew Gabriel was a forsaken until Rand broke then news to him.  Mat only knew Morgase's lover wanted Elayne dead.
