fair point,bear in mind that the seanchan have no clue their
captive is moghedien and she certainly is not going to reveal
her true identity,sooner than later she'll get a pet name like
nula,cutie-patootie or gollum....so no more moggy the spider lol.
-
post last battle,moghedien was captured,collared and taken
to ebou dar by a sul'dam,we know it for a fact,page 900 hardback
edition.

lol,
lanfear's soul is probably alive,i.e.moridin was wearing lanfear's
cour'souvra around his neck,post last battle and body swap,
left rand "wearing" moridin's body including lanfear's cour'souvra.
"kill you?she spat incredulously.kill you!i mean to have you,FOREVER".
well,she got her wish,her soul is now around rand's neck for iternity.
an irony of cosmic proportions,the pattern is probably
laughing his arse off.
-
during the book tour,brandon sanderson hinted something
about an unsolved mystery regarding lanfear.
-
@mrs. cindy gill,
"...and many things are heard that aren't exactly what was said."
you wrote the ultimate aes sedai motto.chapeau!
-
a female asha'man?
let me quote mat for this one:"isn't being a bloody aes sedai enough for you?
do you have to be a flaming female asha'man too?
in the spirit of equity,we do have one true male aes sedai in the story,so why
not a female asha'man?
-
is there a reference in the wheel of time companion about how rand lit his his pipe?
so instead of preparing for the last battle aes sedai are more concerned about
the size of their derrieres? lol.
-
last hurrah for rand and company...
-
did irene gallo decide on the illustrator/illustrators for the
wheel of time companion already?
-
@naggash,
people change,feeling change,life happens.
the last time emond's field 8 were together was in the stone of tear,since then,
each took a different path forging his/hers own place in randland (their independence was relative of course,the pattern was always hovering over their
heads).
let's speculate about their immediate futures post last battle,egwene is dead so she is out of the picture,lan and nynaeve will rebuild malkier,perrin and faile
will rule saldaea,mat is now part of the seanchan lunatic court,moiraine and thom will probably live a quiet life somewhere in andor and rand is on his way
to a well-deserved vacation.
will they keep in touch? i highly doubt it,but like you said,it doesn't mean that
the friendship once shared wasn't true.
-
@pulviriza,
"don't perrin and egwene talk in the tent at the big meeting in a memory of light?".
no they don't.
during the meeting at the field of merrilor perrin did talk only with rand and faile.
prior to the tent meeting,(a day earlier),egwene tried to arrange a meeting
between the two of them but perrin refused to meet her.(towers of midnight)
-
my original intention was to post this on the 8th,but dwynwen is going to put
mashiara's blog on hold until the beginning of march so...
time to say goodbye,
my wheel of time journey started in 1992,when i bought the first book in london
and in a few days it will end with a memory of light.
i am going to read the last book carefully,post a review at amazon and that is it!!!
a very special goodbye to:mark(i'm with genius),snowball,gwenifer,metal head
and mashiara,it was a wonderful experience to read your thoughts and theories and share some of mine with you.
may you always find water and shade.
my biggest and last farewell is to you rand al'thor,the most sane "insane" character in randland,you are after all the sole reason why i am still reading
this series.
hopefully you will find a small place in your heart to forgive mierin eronaile
before the end.
in 1995 i vowed to follow your journey to the very end,and in a few days i am
going to fulfil my promise.
tai'shar.

my preditction:
lanfear will help rand with the bore(with the breaking and the sealing),after all
she is the only person alive with first hand knowledge about the drilling,and she can and will supply rand some of his missing data.
lanfear will pay dearly for her actions,but she will do it anyway.
so let me guess a timeline for rand at the field of merrilor:
1.middle of the night:rand meets aviendha,they talk and she tells him everything about her flashforwards at rhuidean.
2.the fun part:sex,sex and more sex.
3.just before dawn:moiraine and thom arrive,happy reunion all around,well
maybe not for the grandmother from hell!!!.
4.morning:rand addresses the multitude.
5.later:rand redeploys the armies to different combat zones.
6.noon,probably later:rand takes an army with him to shayol ghul to guard his
back.
7.rand,moiraine and nynaeve walk to battle the heart of darkness.
8.halfway to the cave entrance,rand sees lanfear standing and waiting....
something personal:lanfear was from the very beginning my favorite female
character,so a reverse transmigration would be nice,from a small woman with
silvery hair and huge tracts o'land,to a tall raven haired beauty who almost
always gave me a heart attack when she appeared,but i love her nevetheless.

@tremalkinger
alivia can not be cyndane,they fought a duel at the primeter of shadar logoth.
@snowball
i always considered the outcome of the duel between alivia and cyndane as
a tie,cyndane had to retreat from the battle,but alivia was severely injured.
bear in mind that alivia used a ter'angreal and an angreal when they fought.
i am absolutly sure that we are going to meet lanfear again in the last book
but in a totally different role.
@metal head
congratulations!!!!!
one's of mashiara merry band of theorists is a memory keeper-very cool!!!
by the way,go to youtube and listen to dust-hard attack(1971) full album
merry christmas to you all.

let me quote mat bloody cauthon:
light burn me,it's about bloody time!!!!
-
moridin is not a double agent,
moridin is double "0" thirteen on his satanic majesty's very very secret service
with licence to kill and create chaos and confusion.
in fact the poor guy created so much confusion and inconsistencies that the
dark one urgently ordered him back to shayol ghul:
do-"0013 what are you doing?"
0013-"i have no idea my lord"
do-"0013,please make up your mind,dead,alive,dead,alive,dead,alive,it just
can not go on like this"
0013-"i am confused"
do-"you are confused?,and what about me?i am sitting here in shayol ghul with a
severe headache !!!!!"
"from this day on,you are no longer nae'blis,you will remain 0013 forever!!!
0013-"noooooo,i am not a number,i am a free forsaken and nae'blis"(sobs)
cherish your freedom forsaken,in a few weeks time confusion will end and
rand will crush you.

@metal,
you are missing the point,the problem is not with this amyrlin or another one,
the problem is the white tower itself:3000 years this powerful institute run
unchecked meddling everywhere,without a counterforce to restrain it.
the old prophecies were just that,old,dusty neglected books,same with the
dragon reborn,he was just and old myth....
and suddenly he was there,alive and kicking,very powerful and nobody's lapdog.
rand existence changed everything,he radically changed the whole world around him,but the white tower is still living in the past without a clue how to
deal with this new force.
because of that we had five!!!! different approaches to the dragon reborn problem:
moiraine+siuan,elaida,the salidar group,cadsuane and now egwene-the
epitome of unity....
nynaeve is the only aes sedai who really understand the big picture,the white
tower must radically change its ways.
in my book she is a thousand times more worthy to be amyrlin than egwene.
-
@mashiara
rand did not face the amyrlin and knew her anger(well technically he did)
he instigated it.
when i first read the scene between rand and egwene,i missed something
obvious:rand could have kept the information about breaking the remaining
seals to himself,and tell egwene that he is planning to reseal the bore.
rand manipulated the meeting from start to finish,he clearly was not happy
doing it,but he did it anyway.
and unsurprisingly,egwene fell for it,she is after all a bully,and she is very
predictable.
elaida wanted rand in a box,cadsuane literaly drove him to the brink of
insanity,and egwene clearly wants to be the boss,a few days after her meeting with rand she tells her sitters:"it is wise of the hall to put me in charge of dealing with the dragon reborn-he will need a firm,familiar hand"
really egwene?really???rand will need a firm hand?????
so for once rand faced the amyrlin,and knew her anger on his own terms.

@snowball
..."as apples first was the antithesis of that"...
care to elaborate?i really like to read your opinion on the apples first episode,
it was such a pivotal moment in rands journey....
after all you are part of mashiara's merry band of theorists lol,
so please write.
-
first amongst some of the impossible things rand already did was removing
the taint,but on the same day,rand also destroyed shadar logoth and
mashadar by making the two hostile and opposite forces annihilate each other.
leaving only our "lovely" padan fain as the sole representation of the shadar
logoth evil.
but in my opinion,the most amazing thing rand ever did,was to reverse the dark one's taint from the apple orchards,for some reason this little scene moved me to tears.
for its not always about kings,queens,aiel clan chiefs,aes sedai or ashamans,
sometimes its about everyday people,farmers,fishermen,foot soldiers or merchants,
the backbone of randland.
when rand returned from dragonmount after his epiphany,he was a changed man,
he found balance between power,glory,love,compassion and determination.
if you ask me,rand overcame a very very big impossible in my book.
-
moridin is the mastermind behind the cyber attack.
caemlyn has fallen,
a huge shadowspawn army is going to crush lan at tarwin's gap,
the borderlands in the north are overrun by dark forces,
its total war now,and the next step was to blind the communication centre,
dragonmount!!!!!
come on rand,where are you?a little bit of awesomeness will be greatly
appreciated.
darkness has sounded its battlecry,now its time for the light to counter attack.

@mashiara,
i studied laws of succession in some of the oldest and currently existing
monarchies, e.g. japan,uk and denmark, the spouse of the reigning
monarch is never a ruler,just a person with a fancy title.
the wife of the emperor of japan is an empress consort,and the husbands of
queen elizabeth and queen margaret are princes consorts.
well,i understand that things can be different in randland,but still,i dont think
perring can be king of saldaea.
in my opinion,the same rules apply to mat,his marriage to an empress does
not make him an emperor.
my deepest condolences to the state of saldaea,if by any misfortune the
"dynamic duo" will become rulers lolololol.
-
@mashiara,
you are not going to like it,but i am going to say it anyway:
the "dynamic duo" almost ruined the entire series for me,and it started way
before winter heart.
perrin alone is barely passable,but him and zarine together is just terrible.
i finished reading cot almost a year after its release date,and every chapter was a battle between reading and snoring....half the book is about perrin doing nothing and the other half is about egwene doing nothing.
at that point i almost gave up,almost,and to tell you the truth,i kept on with the wheel of time only because of one character :rand al thor.
one of my favorite books in the series is the fires of heaven,because robert
jordan sent the "dynamic duo" to their honeymoon,and they are totally absent from it.
by the way,perrin can not be a king of anything because he is a commoner,
if zarine will be queen of saldaea,he will be prince consort nothing more.
-
@mashiara,
i have a suggestion for you,a week before the release date of a memory of light
open a special thread in your theory blog and let us write one prediction regarding the last book.
let's see if one of us(or more) has the talent of foretelling lol.
New Speculation over Wheel of Time Ending
in Books and eBooks

souls are being reincarnated not bodies,post body swap,
rand's soul,the dragon's soul is in moridin's body,rand's
soul transmigrated to a different body,but it's the same
soul-body swap changes nothing.
