    So he is Hawkwing with old general memories as well 

    So I’m guessing Perrin is somebody too but I haven’t worked that out yet No past werewolves are there lol 

     

    No, he's not Hawkwing with old general memories, he's a ton of different generals at the same time.  In fact there is even a possibility he isn't Hawkwing at all but rather some generals that served under Hawkwing because Hawkwing is summoned by the Horn and it would be difficult for Hawkwing to be in two places at once.  Really, if any hero is listed as a hero of the horn, they shouldn't be reborn because they are more badly needed as a hero to be summoned by the horn rather than a person reborn during this time.

    Also, no mention of Perrin being anyone reborn.

    I'm surprised more people aren't concerned about the sword-fighting in the show. It was such a huge part of the books and important for the development of multiple characters (especially Rand). Per Rafe, there is a weapons expert developing styles for the different cultures, which to me does not match the books at all. In WoT, the sword forms basically constitute an extremely widespread martial art, with very little variation from culture to culture, a relic of the Age of Legends. Even across the ocean in Seanchan, they use the same sword forms, just with minor variations and different names. I'm concerned that we're going to lose this really interesting and unique part of the books in favor of generic Hollywood slashing/twirling. I was so excited to see the sword forms of the books come to life (by developing moves that make sense but are also inspired by the names/descriptions in the books) and see this as a major missed opportunity. 

    I thought there was a point in the books where they realize that different cultures had different names for the moves and implied that they were sometimes done slightly different in some cultures.  Can anyone confirm that?  I may need to look around online after I'm done with work.

  3. Spoilers for all of the books.

    Spoiler

    So the younglings are essentially a gang of youth who were training to become warders during the split of the White tower.  They stayed faithful to Elaida.  Then they got screwed over.

     

    Whitecloaks serve as a group or army of religious fanatics who are supposed to stand for the Light and Creator without following those witches from the white tower and see anything of the one power as corruptible.  They serve a powerful force for both good and evil, depending on who is leading and a major part of Galad's story as he wishes to continue a worthy path after his disillusionment of the White Tower.  They also serve as an additional force for the last battle thanks to Galad taking it over.

    If you have read up to a certain book let me know and I can answer the question based on that.
