Where did we find out that Taim already knew Travelling?
When Rand showed him how to make a gateway and Taim refers to it as Travelling. I know that happend in LoC, but it just adds more weight to the argument that Bashere took ninethousand Cavalry with him on an obvious fake hunt for Taim.
I guess it doesn't really matter if the Navy-Seal can teleport or not, when "running" from a 5 year old girl with a water-pistol. You know it's bogus to assume a 5 year old would go hunting a Navy-Seal.. or that a Navy-Seal would actually run from her.
As we saw in TEotW alone, where one male channeler who doesn't even know a tenth of what he is doing, single-handeldy decimating a Trolloc army with hunderds of Fades that dwarfed it's opposition, it's beyond stupid to go hunting a male channeler with some cavalry.
Also, IIRC, Bashere presents himself to Rand in the scene before Asmodean is killed.
Perfect timing, wouldn't you say? I don't see your point at all.
It's actually the point I'm trying to make;
Bashere was dropped off via Gateway when Rand was staring at Avi/Mat/Asmo.
I think Asmodean is killed as Bashere and Rand speak.
I'm also pretty sure that Ishamael's (or anyone's) resurrection had not been revealed by then, making Moridin anything but an "intuitively obvious" suspect to the readers.
That's such a silly argument to be honest.You're telling me it wasn't 'intuitively obvious' that the arch-nemesis of the Dragon would somehow return?
There's loads of hints in all the books up untill the end of the Fires of Heaven.
Just the very name of book 4 is a big clue in and by itself that "the Shadow rises" again.
Or just the last lines of the very very first chapter of the whole story:
On the island, the air shimmered and coalesced. The black-clad man stood staring at the fiery mountain rising out of the plain. His face twisted in rage and contempt.
“You cannot escape so easily, Dragon. It is not done between us. It will not be done until the end of time.”
“You cannot escape so easily, Dragon. It is not done between us. It will not be done until the end of time.”
Or are you suggesting that Ishamael is lying to himsel this time?
Was RJ just joking there?
Those are just two examples.
It has always been just about the Dragon and the Nae'Blis.
If you understand what it means to be Nae'Blis, that is.
Would you call it 'intuitively obvious' that if the Dragon (Reborn) were to die in ToM, that he would 'somehow' (it doesn't really matter how) find his way back into the story to be there for Tarmon Gai'don?
It's the same for the Nae'Blis.
It doesn't matter at all if we can call it Transmigration yet at the end of TFoH. Or that we know the face of the Nae'Blis. We know that the Shadow had Risen. It's 'intuitively obvious' he's around and pulling the strings of His puppets.
And it's more then obvious that Bashere is one of those puppets by his talk with Rand alone.
