And they lived happily ever after?

[Kerna Shedrian]

As was mentioned in another thread a lot of couples either survived together or died together. So what happens now? Do they go back to tend house and get into arguments over who has the remote?

What futures are you imagining?

I would have liked to have seen Tam find love. With him thinking Rand is dead, he really is alone.

 

[Jaryd Kosari]

With Jordan (and Brandon!)'s propensity to match people up, I'm rather amazed that he did not find a mate for Tam. :P

 

[Kerna Shedrian]

Me too, though he's had Kari and really really loved her, but I'm just so sad at the thought of him alone.


So who would you match him with? Cadsuane

 

[Jaryd Kosari]

:rofl !!!

I actually have no idea. I don't have an accurate death count, so I don't know who I could suggest that is actually still alive.

 

[Rollyn Montagorae]

I have to confess that when Rand rides off into the sunset, I totally heard the opening to the theme song from For A Few Dollars More. Somehow it just seemed perfect for the man who was nearly immortal to now journey off once again as a man, having accomplished his mission.

 

[Ealandrelle Melyma]

I think they should've matched Tam up to one of the Aiel Wise Ones. I could see that

 

[Jaryd Kosari]

After thinking about it for a bit...

I think Tam didn't get matched because he already was. He loved Kari dearly, their relationship was made very, very clear....and I just can't see Sanderson OR Jordan being able to pull off a believable romance after that.

 

[Ariadne Davion]

I can totally see Faile trying to set him up with anyone so he has a Lady of Two Rivers.

 

[Ealandrelle Melyma]

Poor Amys and... Lian? (I forget the name of her sister-wife ) I felt terrible for Aviendha, but worse for Rhuarc. Such a shame. That was one couple (well, couple+1?) where one side did survive.

 

[Mirandha Laflor]

I think the Accepted test shows fragments of the future. So, I think Nynaeve and Lan will rule Malkier and have those kids that she saw.

 

[Tazren Talamar]

It would be nice. That particular vision seems like one of the more plausible ones we've seen during an accepted test.

 

[Ealandrelle Melyma]

What I wonder at that point - will Sharina still be her AS advisor if she herself is AS? And I know Elayne wanted Nynaeve for her advisor. She'd better get that idea out of her head fairly quickly

I wonder if Galad will stay part of the Whitecloaks, or will he abdicate (?) and become Berelain's consort?

 

[Kerna Shedrian]

Oh! Lan didn't sign the Dragon's Treaty. Was Malkier on modern maps?

 

[Jeffan Caliarthan]

I doubt it. I've kind of always assumed that the maps we have are the "official" maps. Malkeir's been off the grid for 50-60 years or so, and the maps in Randland get redone all the time because of border disputes, so yeah. I'd say it's unlikely that Malkier is on there.

 

[Padron Kerenmosa]

I dont think the other Borderlands will allow something like that to stop them.
They respect Lan and I think they will ask for a special case so Malkeir will be a kingdom again.

 

[Darim Pelegro]

It's on the book's map and everyone seemed to recognize Malkier as a sovereign state existing in the person of Lan.

 

[Kerna Shedrian]

It's just strange that Rand got Perrin and Faile to sign it (who ended up rulers) and yet not Lan. Well he was a bit busy, I suppose :P

 

[Jeffan Caliarthan]

Just a little bit.

 

[Padron Kerenmosa]

I also wonder what the people of Malkier will say about their new queen.

 

[Kerna Shedrian]

Many have met her in her quest to build Lan's army for him.
