Prologue, Chap. 1-50, Epilogue

[Feral]

Can someone please pm me some spoilers? Would really like to know more about Verin, the Forsaken and any surprising deaths/DF discoveries. Thanks!

[fionwe1987]

and you want in-depth spoilers? Sheriam is BA

 

In fairness, that isn't a spoiler at all. We've known that since what, Book 8 at least?

No we don't. That event on book 8 indicated to the contrary, in fact, and many people's suspicions had been laid to rest.

 

I'm interested to see how this is handled.

 

Especially how the fact that two of Siuan's close friends were Black Ajah. Does this mean that the Shadow supported Siuan's rising to the Seat, hoping to influence her through her friends?

More importantly, while it makes sense for the BA to want a Rebellion, it does not make sense at all that Sheriam refused the Amyrlin Seat when she had such strong support for it. Her first refusal might have been politics, but why did she give in to the demand for Egwene to be raised? Surely, she could have kept the rebellion alive better as Amyrlin than as Keeper?

It will also be intersting to see who was beating her. I still think it was Lelaine, and Lelaine had no clue Sheriam was Black.

[Beren]

Couldn't help, but read that. It is mentioned many times that the power does not lie with the Amyrlin who is always under public scrutiny, but oftentimes with the Keeper.  ;)

New member here. Honestly, from reading a variety of spoilers and so on, this really sounds like a good candidate for best book in the series thus far.

 

That statement by no means denigrates Jordan: he spent ages setting up a thousand plot lines in endless suspense so that now they could be closed out in exciting ways.

 

But the fact that so many reveals and close outs are occuring, and that people are generally extremely pleased with the ebb and flow of the book, indicates this is one hardcore piece of kit :)

P.s. Despite not being a member of the forum, I've been reading the series since ~1996 and have read and re-read all the books anywhere from 5-20 times each. Ridiculous how much my life has evolved with these characters in the back of my head.

Please, can I ask if the Pevara group of Reds gained a success or a disaster with the Asha'man?

[CupofDice]

Please, can I ask if the Pevara group of Reds gained a success or a disaster with the Asha'man?

 

I back up this question! :D How are the relationships between Ashaman and Aes Sedai on both sides going?

Nothing happens with this plot line in the book, unfortunately.

[Morgar]

Which character do you feel had the biggest shock moment besides the spoilers already listed here.

[ArolasFlinn]

You guys are killing me with these spoilers. I just can't look away.

 

I gotta ask, was a certain BA member turned via the 13/13?

13/13 remains unused.

[Datakim]

What about Rand and Tuon? Does Rand do the whole kneeling thing? Or is he caught with a male a'dam? Who gets the upper hand in the meeting?

 

5 more days!

[bscuga]

Is there any mention of the Ogier and The Book of Translation in The Gathering Storm?

[DemandredFO]

I don't need spoilers but I must say I am heartened to hear that lots of friends turn out to be DFs.  I was mildly concerned that Ingtar was seemingly the only good guy who was bad.  Glad to hear there are more.

[Gavin Doyle]

So, obviously, I need to review info on Verin theories (and what happened 70 yrs ago, etc).

And I need to review the Sheriam's loyalty debate.

 

Any other general topics that I should refresh my recollection on in order for a big reveal in TGS to really hit home with me?

 

thanks!

Rand does not kneel.  No the Seanchen don't snap an a'dam around his neck, but....  In my opinion I'd say neither gets the upper hand.

Does he find out that she's Mat's wife?

No...I can't wait for when he does, though.

[fionwe1987]

Ok...

 

First off, is Chapter 22 a Rand PoV?

 

Second, does Egwene do any cool OP stuff in this book?

 

Third, and please, only a yes or no for this:

My guess at Verin's secret: She knew a new Dreamer would have to come, a woman who would be the counterpart to the DR and whose strength in TAR would be necessary for the LB.

 

Am I even close? (Only yes or no please!)

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Nope...try again

[Copperfield]

Would love to know begining and ending prophecies. And anything cool about Logain.

[Datakim]

Does Rand do any cool channeling tricks in this book?

Also can anyone answer my earlier question, does LTT "die". I would like to know. Thanks :)

Rand does some VERY cool channeling stuff...

As for you LTT question, all I can say is that he died 3000 years ago.

[Aagaard]

Rand is magnificent crazy in this book. Please discuss this with me. Moment with Tam

[Sarlic]

OT -- I have a fairly long train ride (from Philly to Baltimore) every day after work, and over the past month I've been checking Dragonmount daily for spoilage, and the few details we're able to glean in this thread (although some major plot points) are making me even HUNGRIER for this book!! I'm refreshing the board once a minute looking for new posts in this forum! --- end OT rant

 

Okay -- real answers --

 

Does Elaida finally get her comeuppance?  Is she finally deposed disgracefully?

 

Do any Forsaken die in this book?  Main characters (aside from the one that was revealed in mini-text)

 

Is there a visit to the Tower of Ghenji and do we see Moiraine alive?

 

How's 'dem for some spoilers!?

[Aagaard]

At least 2 forsaken die. One of them we don't know how managed yet, and could either be killed, captured or escaped.

 

No tower of ghenjei

 

Elaida (well it is a mjor spoiler so I'll write with small letters) captured by seanchan
