in the case of those black ajah/sharans who might be able to eek outthe resistance, i think the tower will have a means set up to ensure no more evil is done by them, probably through the oath rod, if not simply putting them to death.  what I would like to see would be the punishment for darkfreind channelers becoming that they are become leashed and become property of the seanchan empire.  very little possibility that they would be able to do damage there.

on aviendha being in the world of dreams, it has happened before, never on screen, but while egwene is going through her training with the wise ones aviendha states that the wise ones have to guide her to telaranrhiod because she is not powerful enough on her own.  it seems to me that it is absolutely possible that she was in T'A'R.

I always figured that the foretelling from Elaida was with regards to Rand and Elayne getting together, with regards to Luc I think his importance was to provide Perrin with the motivation to learn the wolf dream.  the wolf dream is going to be vital to the last battle I think, more so than anything else.  there are many qualities of shayol ghul that I think translate and correspond to T'A'R.

I thought the severed hand was rands.

wait what about the horn of valere act 3?????

i would love to see some post TOG mat pictures but as for the ones posted here... i like polly's best. it gives us the not so much trickster side as the general who just fought his way through the entire seanchan army version of mat. the one the rumors all talk about in caemlyn.
