Well, I agree that overall, the WT and BT will join forces, but I disagree about most everything else.

First, count me as one who thinks the throne Egwene saw Rand sitting on was the Lion Throne. And it was Elayne that was angry, not Morgase. In my book, that has already been fulfilled.

Second, in terms of Aes Sedai kneeling to him and washing his feet with their hair (Jendai prophecy), I believe that has already been fulfilled as well, though not literally in the latter sense. When Rand forcibly knelt the AS to him after Dumai's Wells, and then convinced the world that he wasn't a puppet by having them put on display to serve him, that fulfilled that part of the prophecy.

An opinion shared by Linda over at the 13th.

Third, I don't think Rand will be angry at Egwene for gathering a large force at Merillor to try to disuade him. That is precisely why he told her about his plan to break the seals. I believe there is even a direct quote from Rand to this effect,though I cannot find it now. Point being, he WANTED her to be the one to gather everyone together so he didn't have to waste time doing it. So he can hardly be mad that she's done exactly what he wanted.

Last, I don't think the Seanchan will be nearly as successful this time. Egwene knows they have traveling. Or proceeds under that assumption. Even with a lot of the armies at the FoM, many channelers will be at the Tower. Egwene knows the Seanchan are coming.

Also remember, I believe the BT timeline is considerably behind everyone else. I have a feeling that things may be resolved there, or close to it, before Caemlyn is attacked, or before the WT is attacked.

Nice stuff, and I agree, nothing shocking. Though the key component in the integration of the Towers won't be the attacks/battles at the sites (though that may help), but is, of course, the cleansing. And the bondings that have already taken place.

Two quick thoughts.

The first on the site of the new Tower. Count me as one who thinks it will be Tar Valon, at least initially. Elaida had already begun building a palace that was going to rival the Tower, so the space and raw material for 2 Towers are already there.

But this goes on an assumption of women training in one tower, and men in the other. I think the new cooperation will extend beyond that, in time. And a new Tower will be built. Maybe even a new city. Channelers who feel comfortable working together go there, ones who still prefer to work with only saidin/saidar can train at their respective towers in Tar Valon.

Second, regarding the Fourth Age. Remember, RJ used to always say that the DO's breaking free tends to unravel reality. What was in the future, may be undone. The future that produced those quotes could still be changed. As the future that produced Aviendha's vision of the Aiel future hopefully will be.

Last, Great Arvalon. Go a little further with your bolding.

Great Arvalon.
