    Notable missing characters; where did they go???

    I rather suspect that the idea with the Encyclopedia is to collect all the reader feedback about loose ends, then clean up as many as possible. Tom Doherty is canny enough to know that he needs a hook like that to help sell it. Sanderson probably could have written another book and cleaned up...

    Will all Channelers be attached to TWT as Egwene wanted?

    Rand can potentially do it, if he so chooses. Note that Moghedien claims her bona fides as Bao by using the True Power. This fulfills the 'channeling without weaves' portion of that prophecy. Rand can do that. Presumably he always was Bao, but couldn't fulfill the prophecies until after the...

    So ahhhh.... Moridin was right?

    Sorry about the ninja edit. I realized that the original version of the response was a bit sloppy on logic, so I tightened it down a bit. (Initially, I treated something we know to be true as an unknown. That made the post unnecessarily confusing.) We could potentially know something for...

    I am disappointed (spoilers)

    I waited 18 years for THIS? (no spoilers)

    Tolkien didn't have much of an audience when he wrote those books in the 1940's. As hard as it may be to believe now, the books had some initial impact upon publication in the 1950's, but didn't really take off until counterculture took hold in the 1960's. So there was no financial incentive...

    So ahhhh.... Moridin was right?

    Moridin's logic is flawed on quite a few levels. It has unstated (and unsupported) assumptions, and fails to appropriately define outcomes. 1) Moridin's logic implicitly assumes that the Dragon has free will. There's no basis for that assumption. Even if everyone else in the world has free...
