Moiraine aids Three Rivers when the trollocs attack.

Nynaeve is tought a lesson by Siuan while on the ship. Nynaeve gets so angry she slams Siuan against the wall and then Siuan shields her.

Nynaeve heals Siuan and Leane.

Rand is told he is the Dragon Reborn.

I'll think of more later.

Okay, I was going to post a thread entitled "Does anyone else get emotional at...", but I like this thread better :) I don't necessarily mean tears, although in my personal case its both tears and a bit of a thrill...

When Nynaeve, in KoD, Ch. 20, "The Golden Crane" inspires the Malkieri merchants:
[spoiler:2c1yg2sf]"My name is Nynaeve ti al'Meara Mandragoran. The message I want sent is this. My husband rides from World's End toward Tarwin's Gap, toward Tarmon Gai'don. Will he ride alone?

The merchant, Aldragoran responds:
"I will send your message, my Lady, but it has nothing to do with me. I am a merchant. Malkier is dead. Dead, I tell you."

Nynaeve answers:
"Lan told me once that Malkier lives so long as one man wears the hadori in pledge that he will fight the Shadow, so long as one woman wears the ki'sain in pledge that she will send her sons to fight the Shadow. I wear the ki'sain Master Aldragoran. My husband wears the hadori. So do you. Will Lan Mandragoran ride to the Last Battle alone?"

Aldragoran replies with his pledge that "he [Lan] will not ride alone". He then offers wine and for his wife "to meet the wife of the Uncrowned King".[/spoiler:2c1yg2sf]

I cannot read this scene without wiping tears from my cheeks. :cry I can totally picture Lan riding alone in stoic misery and purpose while unbeknownst to him the cry resounds, "The Golden Crane flies for Tarmon Gai'don!"

This is not from the first 11 books, it is from ToM, and I don't know how to use a spoiler tag but-
SPOILER-
[spoiler:1twlcpop]When the armies gather in the north to face the DO, and I was just awed by the hundreds of thousands of solders from all over, Tar Valon to the Two Rivers to Tear. It really felt like the climax of a 15 thousand page story was beginning.

Also In TGS when Egwinde is Amyrlin seat and she looks outside in the epilog and sees the sunlight streaming down on Dragonstone for the first time in months. It showed hope, hope before the last battle.[/spoiler:1twlcpop]

mod note: added spoiler tag

I enjoy all moments, but my favorites are those between Nynave and Lan, Elayne and Nynaeve, Elayne and Rand, Rand and Aviendha, and Mat in the later books.

Favourite scenes from the series

What are yours?

While my favourite book is probably Lord of Chaos, The Gathering Storm has some of my favourite scenes in it, including the memorable but short conversation between Rand and Elan Morin, who finally reveals the reasons he turned and the scene where Rand accesses the True Power to destroy Semirhage.

Even after all these years I can pretty much sum up my favourite scene in six words

ROLLING RING OF EARTH AND FIRE



Classic stuff.

Maybe.....

I haven't really decided on it.

It seems silly, but there's some pretty good evidence for it. The Red and Black colour scheme and so on.

The SG stone in the palace gets me going too.


Gun to my head..................... Yeah there's a good chance of it. Better than Demandred was I should think.

Tehmpus, you can always start a new thread on that or any other topic. :)

Favorite scene is the one that got me hooked: Moiraine's telling of Manatheren.

I know that this isn't really responding to the thread. There used to be a thread like this before the switchover, but....

Axis, do you believe that Taim is actually Ishamael in disguise? There are those for it and those against it.

Good question. I agree it's more likely than Demandred. But I'm not sure Moridin would leave himself so open. I still feel he's a proxy, most likely of Moridin.

Guys, please develop another thread for the Taim/Moridin theorizing. Thanks. :) If I see another post about it in this thread, I'll pout. And no one wants to see that. Seriously. :indifferent:

Dang. I missed this first post. Sorry Morrighan Sedai. Please don't pout.

Don't know how I missed it, it was only posted 2 and a half hours before mine :facepalm

My favorite scene has to go to Matt. Book 5 The Fires Of Heaven Chapter 45 "After The Storm". Matt sitting there just trying his best to figure out how he got pulled back in. Then to have Nalesean and Talmanes come up and basically swear to him and his reaction to it was just quintessential Matt.
