I didn't think she was far enough along to think about actually giving birth, but on the other hand, it's been 5 or 6 years since she got pregnant in my time, and I couldn't quite remember .


I dunno. Elayne dies giving birth? Which would be funny, given that she's so reckless knowing her babies will be born healthy. But yeah, I don't really think so.


The day she defeated Arymilla, Elayne was roughly at the 60th day or her pregnancy, which means she's something like 30 weeks (ours) from giving birth yet.

Don't expect her to give birth in TOM.... especially not to healty babies!

She's set to give birth only toward the end of AMOL, most likely, and for her to give birth before the epilogue section, it would mean the last book will suddenly increase pace massively (ie: events won't be described in nearly as much details or there will be many gaps in the timeline during the LB - that we won't see every little battle but go from important events to important events set weeks later). It's possible, because already in TGS we started skipping weeks (eg: at the beginning of Rand's storyline, and there was a gap of well over a month in the middle of Egwene's storyline as well).



My best guess is that she actually gives birth AT/DURING Tarmon Gai'don. The whole thing just seems geared that way and what a dramatic scene it would be too! I have a tiny little theory that the childbirth is actually how the line from the Karaethon Cycle about the Dragon's blood stains the rock of Shayol Ghul is fulfilled. A stretch, I know, but I think it's at least properly obscure enough for prophecy...lol.

I was thinking Cadsuane *NM* - 27/07/2010 10:46:26 AM 495 Views
Also possible, of course - 27/07/2010 10:58:34 AM 1096 Views

Either Lan or Rand, I guess. *NM* - 28/07/2010 08:02:37 AM 486 Views

It sounds a bit early for Lan's death - 28/07/2010 12:25:47 AM 1230 Views
Oh, I like this. - 28/07/2010 01:35:48 AM 1142 Views
I do too. - 28/07/2010 01:43:12 PM 1017 Views

rand's fake death. from a POV that thinks he died for real *NM* - 27/07/2010 07:07:00 PM 576 Views
this is what i was just thinking *NM* - 27/07/2010 10:27:12 PM 482 Views
My bets are on Rand's actual death - 30/07/2010 07:40:06 AM 1050 Views
Lan's death and Nynaeve's reaction would fit "heart-wrenching", Cadsuane's not so much for most *NM* - 29/07/2010 03:50:34 PM 464 Views
Certainly - 29/07/2010 05:34:11 PM 998 Views
