The epilogue isn't entirely RJ, and BS quotes about Nakomi imply she's his invention (in this thread) as opposed to something RJ wrote into the end then BS used in ToM.

It was one of those Brandon's answer changes everything deals. I know we've talked about and think it was pretty recent, but theoryland interview search and websearch here is coming up empty (my user name + dragon + champion of light).

Other souls can be Champion of the Light, it's just that when the Dragon's around, it's him. As well as there also being a Dragoness type soul or the possibility of one or something.

Iirc, the first age to second age is because of the discovery of channeling (there's some RJ chatter on this, not sure how authoritative or how well recorded). Nothing in the main books about it, and doesn't sound like there was a good v evil to do in that one, but probably wouldn't pan that idea immediately either.

We don't know, only that she seems to be entirely BS. Ask and find out.

That's some delicious irony, please don't delete this page mods.

KP, there's two things in AMoL: voice heard by Rand (others?) when he enters the Pit then the old lady when he comes out.

Well, the problem is we have to circle the drain for pages until a semi-clear picture pops out from interview quotes. I was there last time that happened, it's horrible to read. Then you get to the conclusion that Rand's soul is special, special because it's special, special: yay.

Back the first paragraph up plz Suttree. Was my understanding from interview crap that Dragon = CoL if spun out, but others can be CoL. Don't remember anything about eternal struggle v Ishy except RJ saying "you believed Ishy?!?!"

I'd put Mat and probably quite a few others ahead of Rand for being universally liked.

Grown up Jumara or big whatever the Seanchan birds are called? Contrails don't only come from engine exhaust vapor, but that is the most common cause.

If all the characters in the books are stupid, then why should you believe the conclusions and observations they make? Particularly the Forsaken, since they've obviously bought a bridge to Brooklyn :)

That vision comes up several times, I wouldn't be that quick to dismiss it :)

Having read the paperback instead of the hardcover, I'm a good bit more charitable to most of Egwene's actions compared to people I tend to agree with in other areas. So there's that, but I'm certainly not going to compare the two texts.

Granted I think the first half of Egwene's tGS story was done much more effectively in 10 pages of KoD, and I'm still baffled why that was redone poorly instead of any of a dozen different plot threads getting screen time.

Lanfear stilled isn't way out there, but it's not proven. Moiraine stilled = likely (Lan). Lanfear had been channeling through an angreal that Mo batted out of her hand before they went through the door. That's a recipe for burning out, but then Lanfear is pretty capable with the power and all.

you would have to go back and figure out if the description of Cyndane as a "boxoum" type is parallel with a description of Cabriana as well.

 

I hadn't thought that they may have used her body.

Cyndane: long silver hair, "vivid" blus eyes, short, bosomy, breathy voice.

Cabriana: long blond hair, pale blue eyes. She has a bit part in New Spring which I don't have now. I'll check the Semi passage, but I don't think there's anything there to describe voice, height or bosom.

Decent place for having most things Selene in one place is Night in the Light's Longest Theory (bit down on this page) I think there's some interesting things to argue in the Selene/Lanfear/someone else occasionally bits and pieces in books 2-4...but I don't think it'll be important to the end of the series.
