If you were a major governing power (Light) in Randland, you were present at the Fields of Merrilor gathering/signing. If you were not present, it makes sense that you are automatically included in the Peace pact. If your small nation wanted to war with a neighbor, the Aiel would just put you...
I like to listen to either ambient new age (david arkenstone/enigma) or other downtempo beats. I'm not a big fan of reading while listening to someone sing a language I can understand. That is uber distracting.
When Rand goes off to present the Dragon's Peace to Tuon in Ebou Dar, he makes the environment grow despite being shielded.
During this, Mat hears Rand singing and questions him on it.
What do we think about this part? Is there a similarity between the power of the Ogier treesinging and Rand...
Must be a continuity thing. If you have collected hardcover books for a particular series and then the publisher switches the theme of the cover art, it looks silly on a book shelf. For this reason alone, I would have taken a Sweet cover for Memory of Light.
Who is the woman with gray hair that we see at the beginning of the Epilogue?
You know the one that tells Rand he is doing the right thing?
The Creator?
Nakomi?
