This is a debate, not a simple answer. Stop that now  :P

Also, to diverge a bit, an i know it's today with all the modern gear, but i remember a story a short few years back about a guy caught for illegal immigration into Alaska. He had walked from Russia during winter across the Bearing sea. How awesome can you get xD

(Will post a link when i find a news article)

I can see trollocs as being tough enough to cross those conditions in their usual attire, they'd probably just eat the weak. But we don't really know if their is an ice cap that stretches that far south, it's speculation built on speculation.

 

It's just like any other myth or religion. It kind of sounds good at a glance, but it doesn't really make any sense if you study it too closely.

 

Alot of people could be insulted by that comment.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm nearly certain i saw it spelled 'Wyrm' somewhere in tGS. ANyone know what i'm remembering....?

If it indeed is our world/planet that is supposed to be the First Age and it has been ages before us, shouldn't there be some traces we would've found with the technology we have? Especially since we can actually date the age of our planet.

 

Does this mean that at the initiation of every new Age there undergoes some major changes on universal level? An actual reforming of (at least) our planet, making it a clean slate? And I'm referring to changes coming from the Wheel and/or Creator itself. Not like during the Breaking where mankind did all the job.

 

This also makes me wonder why people in the Third (and presumably also the Second) Age has access to artefacts like the Mercedes Benz logo. Is there some major "reset" every whole turn between the Seventh and First age (explaining the lack of any traces in our time)?

The world in the 3rd age is supposedly sometime after ours. No 1 here actually believes this is the case....right guys? XD

It's a work of fiction, supposedly with some direct connections to this time/reality. That's why there are inconsistencies.

Technically speaking, peaches ARE poinsonous.  The pits contain cyanide.  We're talking very small amounts.  You'd have to eat a whole bunch of them in order for it to have a bad effect on you.  They have been known to effect animals, like cows, which eat them.

 

I'm guessing either someone did a horrible job of breeding their peach trees and Randland ended up with super toxic peaches, or its simply one of those things that people traditionally assume to be true.

I remeber in one of the later books, Nynaeve explicately says(thinks) it is the pit/stone of the peach which is poisonous. Hmm, not so alternate reality. I bet with 5 generations of careful breeding you could make the pits (of our peaches) instantly deadly on their own.

Though i'm no Mendel xD

So, the question is:

Can Perrin be defined as a DREAMWALKER (not a dreamer) as he can enter the world of dreams at will and has some amount of control over the environment?

He does not, apparently, suffer the same lack of control over his appearenec as newbies to TAR do, however we do not see many humans with him to tell us about this in deatil. I however would imagine that control over TAR works differently for males than females.

Or is being a wolf brother enough to give you ACCESS to the world of dreams, and have some control, but not actually be counted as a DREAMWALKER? As it has been pointed out, practically anybody can enter ("touch upon") the world of dreams.

It is a simple question, honestly... :-\

According to the prophecy, Rand will be marked twice to live, and twice to die.  Since getting his hand cut off removed one of the marks, can this indicate that Rand is no longer marked to die?

No. Marking is an indicator that it will happen, not a direct cause or anything in anyway like it. And it is only partially gone anyway.
