I can't say that we've ever seen a prophecy to be so misleading as to say, 'the east and the north must be as one, the west and the south must be as one', and then go on to say 'the two must be as one' but not in reference to the two similarly joined geographical regions just mentioned. It's like...
(0.25 + 0.25) + (0.25 + 0.25) = 5.2
um. . . is that anything like 1 + 1 = 11 ?
can you dumb it down for me a bit?
Rand asked snakefinns "how do I win the LB and live". he got the answer 'the east and the north must be as one, the west and the south must be as one, 'the two must be as one. To live you must die' (refer KOD, chap18). for winning part, he interpreted that seanchan holds west / south, he holds east / north. he needs an alliance with Seanchan for "two must be as one". this is quite sensible. without seanchan alliance, mankind is divided. thats what shadow wants. thats what ishy did 1000 years ago, when he arranged luthair to invade seanchan. and probably corrupted their verson of KC
of course, meaning of second part, to live you must die is a fiercely debated topic :)
