@aammondd I think the term is "The spear-head" or something. It's what i was referring to :) But, who will be the "Spear-head"? The Aiel would be the likely choice, and then theres all the prophecies of not a lot of them surviving. Could be all linked.

Interesting theories. But, maybe Rand couldn't "Darkfriend Seeing Eye Test" Tenobia because he was in Far Madding at the time? Possibley the gaurdians there inpaired the ability and it is some how linked to the One Power?

Is it possible as well, that the Spear Covered in Blood could relate to Tenobia damaging the Light's armies?

Just a few thoughts i had when i intially read ToM ^^
