That explains it perfectly.

Thank you.

Ok, so the Black sisters swear on the Oath Rod? Because going by what Verin says to Egwene in TGS, she does not seem certain that using the Oath Rod will remove her oaths to the Dark One, "then see if I could use it to remove the Great Lords oaths."

Do we have any idea if the Black sisters have the same expected life span as the rest of the Aes Sedai?

If they live the regular channeller life span, where might all these Black sisters be, since they wouldn't want to arouse suspicion by living so long?

Ah, I thought it might have been in the Prophecies of the Dragon, and with the Old Tongue versions and what not.

Had any of the Aes Sedai remarked on the name Asha'man and it coming from the Prophecies?

And thank you again Terez

The whole Shaidar Haran 0.5 thing, is that of the Dark One, or is it of Jordan?

It's a term Jordan used to describe the smiling Fade visiting Bors (and others); it was an early version of what was to become Shaidar Haran. I think that if he was to write those scenes now, he would have replaced the strange smiling Fade with Shaidar Haran.

 

Noooooo!!!! X0

 

Actually, the R&D of Superfade is one of my favorite parts of the series. I think it was intentional, that RJ wouldn't hange a thing. it was foreshadowing that we don't get until our second read through. I mean, sure, it seems ominous during the first read through, but you appreciate it much more knowing what it becomes.

I should have been more clear, but these two points are basically it.

Is Shaidar Haran 0.5 basically an early bookism/something that could be changed to an idea that RJ later elaborated on or just a prototype version by the Great Lord, which was later refined to give us Shaidar Haran?

The whole Shaidar Haran 0.5 thing, is that of the Dark One, or is it of Jordan?

Thank you.

If a darkfriend had blown the Horn for the Shadow, would the Heroes still need to be lead by the Dragon Banner to be able fight, or would there be another banner for the Shadow? Or would there be no need of a banner?

After Mat left Ebou Dar, I think Karede mentions something about the rats in The Wandering Woman, and that there wouldn't have been as many if Mistress Anan was still running it.

Do we know if the rats were sent out searching for Tuon by Semi, or is it just a comment on the new owner?

Ah cheers.

I had remembered some questions the Salidar Aes Sedai had asked of the Dreamwalkers, that I thought might have implied they didn't know some might be able to access their dreams.

Do all Aes Sedai ward their dreams?

Do they do so to avoid sending their dreams to others like Be'lal and Sammael in TDR, or is it to block people from entering their dreams?

In TSR Verin is in with Perrin, or just starting out for the Tower. In TGH she tells Rand the trick for going from stone to stone in the same world was lost and when Rand uses it, he uses the Toman Head symbol and another one that he chose as it had an arrow that pointed west.

I think Dain Bornhald knows that it was Fain. I think I remember his POV with Fain, and saying that he covered it up. So it may come out in the last book.

Is it known how Rand found out that using just one symbol on a Portal Stone, as he did in travelling to Rhuidean from Tear?

I'm not sure if it was here or some place else, but I seem to recall people saying there are seven Ages in the WoT universe.

Had RJ stated that there are seven Ages, or where does this come from?

Since all (or the majority of?) souls get reborn Turning after Turning*, why doesn't Min see these future lives in everyone she Views? Why just Birgitte? She doesn't even see Rand's future lives! Or if she does, she hasn't mentioned it..

 

 

*and if some don't, what happens to those that don't? Does the DO eat them?

It may be because Birgitte is bound to the Horn. I don't remember anything saying that the Dragon was bound to the Horn, so that may be why she doesn't have similar for Rand.

Northern, I thought. With Tear and Illian being hotter than Andor, and well the Borderlands are always fairly cold it seems. The Blight being stubborn is hotter.

Do the Seanchan think that the Sea Folk broke the same oaths as everyone else?

Or even did Hawkwing have any hold on the Sea Folk?
