The Event You Most Anticipate For TOM/AMOL

[Eht Slat Meit]

Most of mine have already been mentioned at some point or another, but one I'm really looking forward to is the revelation of the fate of Pevara and the sisters who went to bond warders at the Black Tower, end of KoD. My gut feeling is that the entire lot of them are getting 13'ed.

[GB]

Black tower, Moiraine, post vog rand and cadsuane, nynaeve and egwene and rand

[Crossroad]

Like some others, after Chapter One I'm looking for Rand's funky conversation with Egwene.

 

Its what they do after the Funky Chat,I'm looking forward too.

 

Will they go after the Kidnapped AS or Hit the Bt and rescue the 20 AS there.

 

Why I say they may go after the Kidnapped AS is I believe it took the Seanshan a Week to get into striking distance of the WT and I should think they will take that much at least in the return journey to Ebou Dar. So I think their maybe a good chance of going after them with the AS able to Travel by gateway. This also depends on how quickly the Seanshan break Eliada, if they can break her during the trip they will definitely be in Ebou Dar before Eg or Rand can do anything about it This also depends on if the timeline put Rand meeting EG only a couple of days after the attack on the WT it may happen.

 

or

 

Will it be to rescue the AS Trapped at the BT by Taim and his Asha'man

 

Can't wait

[MoonBeams]

1) Finding out if Laras "Mistress of the Kitchens" is actually Mesana

2) When Mat, Thom and the other guy will finally figure out that the only way to win against the Foxes and Snakes is to cheat

3) When Rand is going to use the pure saidin he absorbed in EOTW

4) a POV from Shara

5) If Weiramon is a disgused Forsaken or a high-ranking darkfriend

6) Loial's Ogiers finally meeting the Seanchan Ogiers.

[ZWizzle]

I want to see Rand changed completely into Lews Therin. Ie, knows his plans, what he did to seal the bore, how to defeat the dark one.

 

I want him to start referring to himself as Lews Therin and almost completely disregard his other name. (Rand)

 

I like this line of thought but I think it would make more sense for Rand to become the Dragon completely from head to toe. Neither all Rand nor all Lews Therin. Just the Dragon.

[Razor]

I think Nyn will be draped over Cadsuane.

 

Perhaps Rand will go to the tower, and immediately be shielded and taken before Egwene, but use the true ower to break the shield and still the 13 sisters. He announces enough of this childish foolishness. Lets get down to business and let me tell you how I am going to save the world.

[Crossroad]

What else is their to look forward too. Rand working out how to use his link between him Matt and Perrin.

[waffle]

use the link in what way?

 

I´ve always thought that one of the ways to seal away the DO would be for the wonderboys to get together and taveren the hole closed. The bore is a hole in the pattern, right? And the boys bend and twist the pattern, right? So they could, you know, kind of bend some threads over the bore. Or something.

[ShenAnCalhar]

I've always wanted to see Mat take down one of the Chosen. I could totally see it happening too - Mat charging, a contemptuous attempt to wrap him up in flows of air, followed briefly by shock and an Ashandarei through the gut. That would be sexy. He should make some time and take care of that before Ghenjei.

[Crossroad]

I'm hoping the Link between the boys will help with communicating with each other. Like video conferencing. hehehe LOL

QFT (Quoted For Truth)

 

Mat is easily my favorite character.

 

Surprisingly (to me) the thing I want to see most is Fain.

[DottieGirl]

The invasion of the Tower of Ghenjei.

Mat and Tuon loving like their plane is going down (probably off screen though).

The BT rent in fire and blood.

Graendal going down to Nyn via balefire, after Nyn FINALLY remembers how to do it again after like ten books.

Perrin, Gawyn, and Galad all being less emo. Faile being less of a sociopathic, manipulative b***h. Berelain fawning after an unimpressed Galad.

Nyn and Lan fighting side by side against Trollocs and other Shadowspawn nasties.

The gholam getting 'sploded or something else it never saw coming due to Mat's plan to off it.

[firstfishman]

Seeing Mat take up the mantle of Price of Ravens, and having everyone else soil their small clothes when they find out..

 

Seeing Rand re-united with Moraine and her reaction to how he has changed.

 

Faile's death...

[TheBeerPatriot]

The thing I most anticipate for TOM/AMOL is...me reading them ;)

 

In order:

The return of Moiraine

Perrin/Slayer showdown

Rand/Egwene meeting

Black Tower

Lan kicking some Shadowspawn arse

[OptimusPrime]

Lan kicking some Shadowspawn arse

 

Yes.

 

Id really like it if we had tons of the lesser mains together in one place, something like the Cleansing but with a more varied group. How about:

 

Lan has encountered a group of Trollocs in the Blight, having thrown himself at them because "there couldnt be more than twenty" but during the slaughter he notes that they keep coming, and coming, his PoV ending on his Shadowspawn sense of the Warder bond telling him there are Fades coming...

 

Shaidar Haran, roaming the Blight with an entourage of Fades, able to sense something out there that "did not belong here" ...

 

Fain, having been tracking Slayer as Isam, has followed him all the way to the Blight. Fain can feel something powerful up ahead, but doesnt know what, it feels like a Halfman but more so...

 

Slayers PoV, creeping along towards the flashing lights that comes from a Power-wrought vs Thakandar sword fight. the fight comes into view, dozens of dead Trollocs and Fades, Lan and Shaidar about to face off. Shaidar turns round, sees Fain behind Slayer and dives at him. Lan, now noticing Isam, dives at him.

 

Slayer dies, Shaidar takes Fains dagger and is hurt, both got away, leaving Lan by himself. And then, as if by sheer coincedence, a gateway opens, Nynaeve steps through with Rand himself, Rands reason for coming personally being to prove to Nynaeve that he was himself again. Nynaeve insists that she is saving Lan from sending himself to his own death, after what had just happened a minute ago.

1. Mat, Thom, and that old guy on the cover art (who is he anyway?) enter the Tower of Ghenjei, only to discover that Moraine has been morphed into a new Eelfinn or Aelfinn. Personally I predict she'll be an Aelfinn. I can't see her granting wishes.

 

2. Aviendha collects some terangreals on her pilgrimage to Rhuidean then goes to be a midwife helping Elayne give birth. It's a hard birth, causing a OP rebound reaction in the Elayne - Aviendha - Rand bond, and one of the terangreals Aviendha is carrying causes each of the babes to split into mirror-image twins (Avi will have Rand's babes, too - four at once. Something strange about that though.)

 

3. Now that the Rand/LTT split personality has been reintegrated, he recognizes who the modern-day reincarnation of Ilyena is. Sorry, all you Elayne-despisers, but I think it's Elayne. Wasn't Ilyena described as being pretty with skin like cream and golden hair, exactly the shade of Elayne's?

 

4. Mat finds out what the term "Prince of the Ravens" means, and just about soils his pants. He barges in on Empress Fortuona when she is holding a public audience, and starts shooting off his mouth. Fortunately, the sheer shock value of what he is doing keeps the imperial guards from killing him on the spot. To shut him up and win his cooperation, Fortuona shows him what an empress is capable of doing at night when the lights are out. Fortuona enhances the moment by, uncomprehendingly, embracing and using saidar.

 

5. Rand/LTT isn't sick anymore when trying to grab saidin. Now that they are integrated and Rand has used the TP, the sickness rebounds back to Moridin. Every time Rand seizes saidin, Moridin gets deathly ill. Poetic justice.

 

6. Having rescued Failie, Perrin finally grows a pair, quits being a henpecked wimp, and knocks her down a few pegs. He resolves to lead his army through the last battle, with visions of finishing the war so that he can ultimately settle down and be a peace-loving country lord. He'd really like to be just simple country folk again, but he settles for country lord to please Failie.

 

7. LTT was good and noble, but was a bit too fond of his earthly pleasures to detach himself completely when necessary. So in trying to hold onto what he had, LTT wound up losing it all. The integrated Rand/LTT now has all the nobility of LTT and all the hardness of Rand, and so is able to do what LTT could not - sacrifice himself for the greater good. And because he will give up everything, he'll gain everything.

[The Desert Pea]

Faile's slow and painful death, in meticulous detail so we can savor every moment of it

Fix'd that there for ya bud

[firstfishman]

Thanks.. LoL

 

 

 

I wouldnt mind if she wasnt actually killed.... Like if she was made a pet by Shaidar Haran and passed around all the lesser fades to keep moral up...

That would be great, tehehehe.
