My new theory on the Dark One.

[Dagon Thyne]

I have been thinking....The dark ones has been freed and faught in previous turnings of the wheel, according to RJ.  So how does he get resealed?  I am thinking that regardless of the outcome of the "last battle" of any certain turning, the Creator reseals the Dark One..... If the DO is destroyed, a new one is created.  Maybe that is the purpose of the N'blais, to act as the DO's replacement. 

 

The One Power, I'm assuming will be burned out of everyone after the Last Battle, Since they couldn't channel before the age of legends.

 

The world then goes through 4 ages without a dark one.  The technogoly and other aspects of life getting more and more advanced as times goes by. 

 

Then the wheel of times comes full circle and the first age comes again, bringing, at it's end the rediscovery of the One Power, Then the secong age comes with it's Superadvanced, peaceful society and then it all starts over.....the bore is made again,....or some other sort of event that shatteres the DO's prison.....a new war of power, a new breaking.....maybe some new forms of shadowspawn.

Who is to destroy the DO? If Moridin has ever been Nae'blis before, then he would have become the DO. But his and the Dragon's soul are frequently interwined. I don't rembember if it was RJ or Brandon who said it.

 

The One Power, I'm assuming will be burned out of everyone after the Last Battle, Since they couldn't channel before the age of legends.

But RJ planned on writing books after the main series. I can't see that without the channeling. Talents appear and disappear on the approach of another Age. It doesn't have to happen now.

I didn't hear the question but someone asked something about Rand's and Moridin's souls being intertwined. Sanderson said that many souls' threads are frequently woven together in the Pattern such as Birgitte and Gaidal. He said that Rand and Moridin are also frequently woven together in the Pattern.

Well, most of the books RJ planned on took place before the series....he had a book about how Tam became a Blademaster and one on the AoL about the drilling of the bore and the Collapse, ect.

 

 

 

Like I said this is all my thoughts...It would explain alot,....like why the DO still is imprisoned even though the Chosen One has went to the shadow in past turnings.

[Nightstrike]

Three books were to take place after the main series. Mostly about Mat, I believe.

 

[Dagon Thyne]

I have a revisement to my orginal theory.....

 

I just remembered another theory of mine that would fit in with this one......

 

The N'blais is not just the DO's chosen one....but his vessle...,the DO is literally the spirit of evil...He will sacrifice Moridin and, sending his soul back into the true source to await being rewoven, and posess his body to use on earth....If Rand kills the DO, in his mortal form, the DO's spirit is inprisoned by the Creator again.  If the DO wins, which RJ has stated has happen in the past, The DO rules the world for a time and is imprisoned after that time.  The reason Rand and Ishy/Moridin's souls are intertwined is because they are both destined to play a direct part in the battle btween The Chosen One and the DO.

one on the AoL about the drilling of the bore and the Collapse, ect.

 

 

 

 

 

That is something RJ said he would never write about, because we already know what happens.

 

He had two more prequels planned, one about Tams story, and one about how Moiraine could get to the Two Rivers just in time.

And an outrigger trilogy about Mat and Tuon going to the Seanchan, several years after TG.

So, most of his planned books (3 vs 2) were set after TG.

If the DO wins, which RJ has stated has happen in the past, The DO rules the world for a time and is imprisoned after that time.  The reason Rand and Ishy/Moridin's souls are intertwined is because they are both destined to play a direct part in the battle btween The Chosen One and the DO. 

The DO has never won.

Rothaar:  When Rand takes Verin and the others through a portal stone in The Great Hunt, at the end of each life he hears "I have won again Lews Therin". I thought that if the Dark One won even once the wheel would be broken and therefore the Dragon would not be reborn again. How could the Dark One have won before to be able to say "again"?

RJ:  There are degrees of victory. The Dark One can achieve victory by breaking free, but can also achieve lesser victories. Such as by stopping the Dragon Reborn from doing other things he was born to do. It isn't as simple as him being born to fight the Dark One. It's never simple.

Q: (inaudible)

RJ: Yes, the Champion of the Light has gone over in the past. This is a game you have to win every time. Or rather, that you can only lose once--you can stay in if you get a draw. Think of a tournament with single elimination. If you lose once, that's it. In the past, when the Champion of the Light has gone over to the Shadow, the result has been a draw.

This is sort of like your theory on how it was so obvious that BS wrote TGS even from the prologue...Which he didn't actually write.  :-\
