Just read Gardens of the Moons from the Book of the Fallen series. Are all the books in this similar style? I had a hard time reading this. Just when I felt I was getting to know Whiskyjack and the whole gang, it shifts over to a total different set of characters that I had to get to know. Then I had a hard time figuring out what was actually happening in the end.
Specifically the parts where Paran fights a tree. Somehow a house is made out of it. What's an Azath? Suddenly Vorcan is the major antagonist but is saved. A major antagonist (Tennshyn) throughout the book doesn't even appear in the end. I'm not trying to complain. The storyline after retrospect was very good. It's just frustrating to read the first time through.
Although I'd have to say, Kruppe is very fun to read.
I assume you mean Tayschrenn? Why does he have to appear towards the end of the book? It's a series, his status as an antagonist and whether he's a bad boy or not is addressed in later books. And an Azath is a being that strives for balance. In essence its a "house" that serves as a prison designed to lock up extremely powerful entities, such as Raest the Jaghut Tyrant. Oh and yes there are a shit ton of characters in MBOTF, get used to it ;)
Tayschrenn, yes. I totally annihilated his name lol. I see your point. Thanks for the explanation on an Azath. I just have this feeling that I'm gonna get frustrated with this series. The only things that are keeping my interest are the Paran/Tattersail storyline and Tayschrenn. And I want to see what Quick Ben's powers are. Since he was good enough to win that cage match thing a while back. Meh...I'll give the next book a shot.

Do we know anything on how Rand being bonded affects Moridin?
Moridin seems to suffer from Rand's wounds. In TGS Graendal notes that Moridin's hand seems to be bother him.
Not sure if you understood what I was referring to. I realize there's a blending of sorts going on. What I'm curious about is how the bond with the superwomen and Alanna affects the situation. Does that give Moridin a boost of sorts too? or something along those lines?

I don't remember any of Min's visions of Thom. Did she ever have any of him?
Is Min's vision of Lan as a baby the only time she has a vision of the past?

Has it ever been confirmed who who closed the gates on Rand leaving in the beginning of TGH when the Amyrlin comes to Fal Dara?

What does Elayne actually say to Rand in her two letters when they seperate at Tear?
-
I'm a bit confused on the Eye of the World.
It's a ter'angreal, or whatever, that AoL AS built that just happened to have the Horn and the Banner? Is it ever explained why these were put there? And what actually happened to the Eye after the whole battle scene, etc? Why is it gone?

Slayer background/confirmation
Who exactly is Luc and Isam? Luc is Lan's uncle right? How was he involved with the whole destruction of Malkier thing? Not good with names, but I seem to remember, possibly, that his mother convinced his father (king's brother) to go into the Blight, and he died there, and Luc was their son. What happened to the mother? Or am I completely off base with this one? And he looks a lot like Lan.
And Isam is somehow related to Rand right? Was Isam a channeler? I mean a male Aiel in the Blight says Channeler to me at least. Or am I missing something? What's his background?
They somehow meet in the Blight, fight, and merge...somehow. He can also change identities when going in/out of TAR. Luc hates wolves. Am I missing anything else?

In tGS (I think at least) one of the sul'dam try to kill Leilwin and run off - and then Mat runs after her and we see her got shot. Is this the same sul'dam that trains Egwene in tGH? or is it the one that Nyn and Elayne capture in order to free Egwene?

Stupid question alert!!! :)
I know you can't use saidar/saidin in Steddings. But what about True Power (or One Power, get them mixed up a lot)
-
on a different thread, someone mentions a fight between Cyndine and Alivia. I can't seem to remember that happening. when does it happen? is it during the cleansing of saidin? if not can i get book/chapter of it?

1. What exactly did Rand do on Dragonmount? at least as far as the skies are concerned. or what was the benefit of it? besides Rand changing his attitude. was it worth destroying the male CK? Are the outcast skies supposed to be some big metaphor for how Rand is and now there is a little light?
2. When and how did Rand get his newest sword, the one people are refering to as "Justice"? I don't remember that taking place.
3. As far as Rand's dark aura goes. WHen people don't look directly at it, they can see it. I seem to remember something else like that in the books but can't remember what it is. Possibly Warder related. Or am i just mistaken? And was his dark aura caused by using TP?
Thankies

Was Ilyena a channeler?
Praise for Faile

The only thing I have against Faile is her guilt trip she gives Loial and everything else involved getting Perrin through the Ways on the way to Emond's Field. Otherwise I"ve been kinda neutral on her.
