Yeah, we knew that... Etzel Send a noteboard - 19/05/2010 08:25:04 AM
This had gone missing on Wotmania, and I don't think it was ever in the database, but a friend of mine re-posted it at Theoryland (link below).

Brandon drew a graph of AMOL's structure and explained in some details how he ended up re structuring it as three books. Not much that isn't already known in there, book 12 will have two main story lines (we know it's Rand and Egwene, but as I said Brandon didn't say so explicitly at the Q&A) and teasers for three more (Mat - and seemingly Perrin and Elayne). By 'teasers', Brandon precised he means 3 or 4 chapters per story line, the rest of the chapters being divided between the two main story lines (by recent books, this could means Egwene/Rand have about 10-12 chapters each, or a few more). Some developments happen in the teasers but it's not huge stuff, more like set ups chapters for what happens in book 13.

Book 13 will have the opposite, with 3-4 chapters each for Egwene and Rand, "toward the end". Brandon kept those for book 13 to avoid spoiling in TGS the climax of book 13, which will mark the reunion of all the main story lines at some location, and launch TG. So in book 13 we will have the residual Rand/Egwene chapters that specifically build up to the reunion.


It makes clear that especially all the main characters, namely Rand (plus Alivia), Mat (plus Moiraine), Perrin (plus Galad & Co.), the Wondergirls, possibly Logain and Tuon will reunite at the end of ToM at one place, likely either at Caemlyn or Tar Valon. IMO, they will come up there with the plan to beat the Shadow, especially by faking Rand's death and letting Logain take his place.

The attack of the Shadowspawn armies will most likely "officially" launch Tarmon Gai'don, as also the blurb of ToM indicates: "The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One’s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight."

Hehe, yeah, we can also discuss it here... - 03/05/2010 12:04:57 PM 1479 Views
Good deal. You're still being prejudiced, though. - 03/05/2010 12:20:00 PM 1656 Views
Of course, I prefer my theory.... - 03/05/2010 01:01:07 PM 1346 Views
I suppose it's better than Beslan - 03/05/2010 01:19:52 PM 1562 Views
He, Beslan being Berelain's man in white was a most brilliant theory! - 03/05/2010 01:55:07 PM 1525 Views
See, this is why I am right and you are wrong! - 04/05/2010 03:56:31 AM 1353 Views
