putts - Member Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Seems to have a female voice to it. Formal, so I assume Aes Sedai. And directed to someone with stories. I'm going to say Androl ... which makes the Aes Sedai pretty obviously Pevara. But, of course, I could be plainly wrong on all of that and I'm sure people will have much better guesses :P Just saw Herid's post ... Jain Fairstrider popped into my head too because of all his journeys. Would be a GREAT twist. Edited November 27, 2012 by putts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cem Önal - Member Posted November 27, 2012 That's definitely to Nalaam. The Asha'man who's always spinning tales. Could be by Pevara. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vambram - Member Posted November 27, 2012 New one's up: "I should like to hear one of your stories. Perhaps you could tell me of the time your father and you visited Shara?" The only character we know of that has visited Shara was Jain Farstrider, aka Noal. However, he died in the Tower of Ghenji when Mat, Thom, and Noal rescued Moiraine. Therefore, I am thinking that this question is being asked by Thom or Mat to a previously unknown son of Jain Farstrider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsm - Member Posted November 27, 2012 i think it's directed to nalaam also. he's mentioned his father before in the stories he's been telling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
he who comes with a bong - Member Posted November 27, 2012 New one's up: "I should like to hear one of your stories. Perhaps you could tell me of the time your father and you visited Shara?" The "should" in context should be able to tell us what nation they are at least from. being by who ever talks like that. I am thinking of some one from illian.

mbuehner - Member Posted November 27, 2012 Androl is Jain Farstrider's son. Bamph! Thats good stuff. Is that something you had percolating Herid, or just hit you? Might explain a lot of Jain's actions, protecting his kid, especially if he found out he could channel. Who would be speaking? Taim? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandemonium - Member Posted November 27, 2012 Androl is Jain Farstrider's son. I think Herid hit the nail on its head already. Nobody else in this thread will be able to come up with an explanation that is even remotely close. Nice idea, and it also explains Androl's mysterious past.

Might explain a lot of Jain's actions, protecting his kid, especially if he found out he could channel. I was thinking that this might be a possibility for a while. The main issue is that Androl is a Taraboner. But then I thought that after Jain's Malkieri wife died he was free to have kids with anybody else, so some woman from Tarabon is not out of the question.

Ian Ohlander - Member Posted November 27, 2012 Assuming it is Androl speaking to Pevara, this implies 2 things. Pevara and Androl have really started opening up with each other, which, plot-wise, is neither here nor there. More importantly, though, this could indicate that Androl has information that may be necessary to the plot that will come out in the series. Or it could just be part of world creation. I seem to remember something about Jain leaving behind a wife and son. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kittyspagitty - Member Posted November 27, 2012 Wouldn't Androl be too old to be Jain's son? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittyspagitty - Member Posted November 27, 2012 'your father and you'? I'm not sure you have the same question mark as me here; but the expression just hurts my ear. It's a weird order, isn't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cem Önal - Member Posted November 27, 2012 Not really. Jain is about 70, Androl 30-something probably. I still don't think they're father and son though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittyspagitty - Member Posted November 27, 2012 Really? I always had Androl as a 50+ person in mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandemonium - Member Posted November 27, 2012 Wouldn't Androl be too old to be Jain's son? Jain was probably at least 80 years old so it isn't far-fetched even if Androl is 60+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimmauld - Member Posted November 27, 2012 The Androl idea makes sense - also him being a Taraboner is not a problem, he may have grown up there after the collapse of Malkier. However, would Jain then have retrieved his son to travel with him? I wonder if it might be one of the Aiel? Should the Sharans become involved in the war, perhaps Rand - with his new formal way of speaking - would now care to learn more about Shara! Had Aviendha ever traveled with her father? This small snippet seems to carry both familiarity and formality. It also seems like the sort of thing Cadsuane might ask while knitting. So after all that random wobbly thinking my guess is - this is Cadsuane speaking to an Aiel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aunt_pol - Member Posted November 27, 2012 'your father and you'? I'm not sure you have the same question mark as me here; but the exp<b></b>ression just hurts my ear. It's a weird order, isn't it? Yup it looks quare to me too. Ugh. To be honest, I think it sounds a little like an Aiel talking, maybe Aviendha. Although I do like the sounds of Androl Farstrider.
