He intended to, but never did. Also, by the time he would have opened the letter after saving Moiraine it would have been too late. Effectively he chose between the two, even if he didn't realise it.

I remember a quote somewhewre from Rand about a man with no free will is just a puppet. Can't find the quote right now, but Rand pretty much had no real free will of his own as he was doing the wheel's will. Male channelers becoming as common as the female channelers is arguably part of the...

Well we know RJ had planned at least 3 spin offs, but I do not believe any would have focused on Rand. He has doen his part and is reaping its reward of freedom now. He can't really visit any of the people that knew him as they would figure it out. Remember the Dragon's Peace hinges on him...

Mat had to choose between saving Moiraine and opening Verin's letter. He chose to save Moiraine. It is possible the letter held info about the trollocs invading Caemyln, but by choosing to save Moiraine he saved the world as she was necessary to be by Rands side for anothe prophecy.

For some reason I was under the belief that Rand was walking around with Lamen's sword. Morraine insisted she have it with him, but I could be mixing up swords. I think Morraineinsisted he carry the sword since the profecy was he would still walk the lands with justice in his hands which I...

Re: Rand's new body One could guess that when the three realised that Rand was in Moridin's body and getting healthier that one or more of the three showed thier happiness physically. The two sets of babies looking like they come from two different fathers implies at least Avi did so. For her...

I think the most likely candidates for pushing war with the Sharans are the Whitecloaks, Ashamen, and the Sharans themselves. Whitecloaks have the desire to fight darkfriends even when its not wise, Ashamen want to prove they can be the protectors, and well the Sharans are a wild card. Any of...

I think that there is a good chance all of the channelers in non seanchan/sharan lands will become closely linked with the Aes Sedai. Cadsuane is too strong willed to let the factions out of thier agreements with Egwene and will be determined to link the Black tower with the White. I think that...

Re: Rand's new body I think the only lightsiders that would recognize it as Moridin's body would be Moraine and Nyneave. I would only assume theyd be let in on the secret once he was found missing. As for the guards, I would imagine that would be Alivia's job to get them out of the way after...

Basically made by man means with normal means. Power wrought blades are made with the one power infused into it. I believe that darkhounds are able to pull themseleves back together when struck with normal weapons, but the same properties that make power wrought blades better also disrupy that...

I always thought that the reason he was killed was because at least one bolt exploded at his feet. A lightning bolt crashing into the ground at your feet should be enough to kill you and knock you out of your boots. The medallion only protects him directly, not from the blast itself in a ground...

"p.s. In case you dont knwo what 'Do what needs to be done' means, it means I want you to go bloody slaughter as many of those Sharan channelers as you can. I'll bet you a full Tar Valon mark- it's only been shaved on the side a little- that you can't kill twenty. -MC"

When confronted witht he ability of Sul'dam to learn to be able to channel, Tuon rebuffs it to a point by stating there is a difference between being able to channel and choosing not to versus inately being able to channel. It is a thin line, but I imagine that it would enough to hold onto that...

I believe the dimensions of a weave depend on the ability of the channeler and how much power they put into it. With the travelling weaves we see them in a variety of heights and widths. I would imagine the same would go for any weave including balefire. In the final battle Demandred had an...

My one nagging question in my mind is why didnt Tuon strike at the gathered forces after the last battle ended. I understand Tuon is coming around on the damane issue, and she loves or is falling for Mat who would hate it, but every advisor outside of Min would be saying go for the kill. It...

I would say that would make a green man the antithesis of a fade which seems to also be an artificial construct of sorts. With the DO sealed I doubt more fades could me made. Makes me think there is another necessary component other than just the One Power. Kinda wish we knew more about the age...

I agree. I feel the wheel moves between the DO and the hinted at Earth Mother (see nakomi theories). It weaves between the forces of life and death. I like the concept that it tries to weave in the middle of the two forces and auto corrects when it gets too close to either the DO breaking free...

Demandred like all of the forsaken view the 3rd agers as inferior in every which way to themselves. So when Lan faces him he immediately assumes that only someone from his own age would have the skill to match him. First he assumes Asmodean, as he was on team Rand for a bit, but quickly shoots...

I think Mat's luck is a part of who he is. Similar to how Perrin is a wolfbrother, being ta'varan did not make him that. His knowledge of past lives may even be part of it as I recall him speaking dead languages well before the dice. Also the heroes of the horn call him Gambler and are familiar...

The tinker song is a myth. The core of it is stories of ancestors with the voice talent singing growing songs and the like. Over the ages it became a single mythical non-existant song. Rand who has the voice talent and the memories of certain songs uses this talent at the council at Merrilor and...
