  1. Their is an emphasis on thirteen channellers just learning with specific knowledge able to overwhelm anyone regardless of strength. All the Forsaken were as wary of Aes Sedai as Rand was because of this point. To fight off a Circle of Seventy Two, however would mean Rand had to be equal to its maximum strength with the angreal. Quite impressive!!

  2. No.The Eye of the World was created just before the Stone was near the beginning of the Breaking. We have a scene in Rand's Rhuidian excursion that they were preparing to go make it. Only they needed to tell Someshta their plans for him before leaving to do it. The Stone was going to be made afterwards to protect Callandor. That was their next task. The scene takes place in Paaran Disen.

  3. Perhaps the Creator's champion is born by bloodline?? The Aiel are The People of the Dragon. Also, I do not agree that Nakomi is Tigraine, though I wish it were true. The reason is Rand would recognize her because of the tapestry. Shivan would look like Tigraine when the Horn was blown, just as Artur Hawkwing is known by his last life. Only channellers can disguise themselves. The Creator Avatar theory is still the strongest theory. It balances soo much and also helps explain the body swap. If the DO can, then Creator can. He would be forced to step in if the Pattern and Wheel were destroyed because Rand died when it was intended for him to live. This is an ability that only these two beings should have.

  4. Balefire clearly zero sums events and people and also locations too. Much like the Elder Scrolls regarding the Dwemer and the Forests of Cyrodil. Both are remembered, except the Ruins of the Dwemer remain, but the forests are remembered only by those that travelled through them before Tiber Septim removed the forests. The effect is much like how the effects of balefire works.

  5. I think it was the seals failing, since all the distortions of reality was caused by the DO and Rand battling outside of time. Logain breaks the seals, and the effect that Perrin felt was the seals breaking and being distributed to that moment and location by his taveren nature. It is how the Wheel corects issues.

  6. Gitara was quite specific that the world hung on Tigraine and Luc going. This is how Foretelling works. Little bits of specific future instances that are understood only depending on how strong the Talent is. Gitara clearly remembered her Foretellings, since we know from Elaida's POV that she was jealous that Gitara remembered them when Elaida herself did not. We also know that the Aes Sedai in Paaran Disen had very specific information that showed Callandor's importance. Indicating that these were Foretellings and very big chunks of information they were too, considering the Stone was built around the time of the Eye of The World; in fact, immediately afterwards would be my guess. That scene indicates they knew everything except that it was to happen three thousand years later and the Aiel would change over that time.

  7. Gitara had other Foretellings. We know that Amys knew Tigraine. We also know thanks to her that Gitara's sending Tigraine to the Waste in the first place was because of a Foretelling regarding Tigraine going to the Waste and her brother meeting Isam. These two figures were absolutely critical to Rand's success or failure. Considering what Lanfear tried to do during his fight with the Dark One, Perrin would not have failed completely if Luc had not gone.

  8. It is because the Shadowspawn are created from the True Power. Because of this the gateway kills them instantly when they pass through. I think it is hinted that the stedding also do it, but gradually over time. The creatures the Seanchan use pass through gateways, because they are native to a world or worlds through the portal stones. They are born of the One Power giving the energy to their world or worlds.

  9. No, a circle of thirteen Aes Sedai would still shield him no problem, no matter how powerful Rand gets. I think it is connected to the fact that men can be Turned easily by thirteen Aes Sedai and thirteen Myrdraal. I also think the Age of Legends may have created a shielding weave designed to specifically target male Aes Sedai, or any extremely powerful Aes Sedai of either gender. It is most likely they developed it during the War, but was probably forgotten by all except the Red Ajah.

  10. This has been happening since the moment we saw Rand journeying to Emond's Field with Tam. It is just that now we are seeing the world react to him, afterwards, which we did not see previously, apart from Domon and Thom, of course.

  11. Moiraine is the one that can be trusted to wait for the moment. The others would have failed, especially when Moridin picked up Callandor. They had a tendancy to throw away plans, and make things worse as a result. Moiraine knew precisely what her place was. Nyneave could be trusted to back it up despite her objections.

  12. I do not believe that at all. The issue is the ones that could dissect this book and discover what he meant very quickly were either turned off by another writer finish the books and how different he was from RJ, or moved on because of other interests caught there attention. I think something big is in there, we just need to connect the dots that are there. I also think it is something that RJ intended, too.
