The rebels in Haddon Mirk and others moved to besiege the Stone of Tear after Rand appointed Darlin as his steward in Tear. They were encouraged by the Seanchan (I think); and some of them were played by Pedron Niall when he was alive.

He didn't have to channel all of saidin. He just had to channel enough to remove the filthy oil layer (taint) blocking the access to saidin. I understand it as channeling enough saidin in the conduit to make the Shadar Logoth evil attract all the Dark One's evil (taint) and for them to destroy...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 28-33 Yes, that was the only time they had sex (multiple times). It was their first meeting since Elayne left Tear to go to Tanchico after spending 4 days canoodling (short of sex) in the corners of the Stone of Tear, interrupted by lessons to Rand...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 23-27 Yeah; he was calmer about it than expected :) . ... Some warders drop dead on the spot when their Aes Sedai is stilled. I think that's what happened to Martine Jinata's (Setalle Anan) if I remember correctly from Path of Daggers.

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 23-27 He couldn't risk any harm to her because he'll suffer more. If he stills her and she dies ....

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 23-27 Rand couldn't harm a woman if his life depended on it at that stage. And Min did tell him that she had a Viewing that Alanna was in his hand. She would serve him; and she did. I think that something else is important. Rand got certain...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 18-22 The non-Shaido army is the Whitecloak army. The Aes Sedai in Caemlyn are "non-aligned" with either faction of the Tower split, like Cadsuane's bunch. My opinion is that she is drawn to him (ta'veren tug, I guess) since the omens say he might...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 2-7 :lol Are you implying that Elayne should actually think before she acts? She sent a message by Traveling (most probably) to bring the prisoners back to Caemlyn on horseback. That's just vintage Elayne! Agreed. I love that Nynaeve moment. And...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 2-7 I guess she thought she could be used as a hostage (by Perrin, Rand, Shaido) to undermine Elayne. I'm pretty sure RJ and BS made it so that Perrin's ta'veren needs required her hidden identity till Galad's appearance to preside over the trial...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Chapters 2-7 In most rereads, there are chapters that are glossed over or bypassed. For me, they're Faile's capture and rescue and Elayne's war of succession ... "Wet Things" is just ..... I'm at loss for words.

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Prologue & Chapter 1 Rand gave Dobraine a letter making Darlin his steward in Tear. At the time, Caraline and Darlin was held "guests" by Cadsuane in Arylin's manor (since they rescued Rand in ACoS. Dobraine managed to free both and send them to Tear after...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart -- Prologue & Chapter 1 Mortification of the spirit and mortification of the flesh the norm in Tar Valon, and Randland in general. And the device is from the Age of Legends, the most advanced phase of society in WoT. Lol, the Oath Rod was a "death penalty" in...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart (Starts June 5) One of my favorite scene's is Alana's reunion with Rand. I liked her in that scene, especially with "Let us help you, man!" Another is the girls' reactions after bonding Rand; especially Aviendha's. But the best part in the whole book is Mat's...

Re: Re-Readalong: Winter's Heart (Starts June 5) Nice! the book where, in my opinion, Fain's arch should have been resolved.
