We know that RJ wrote the Prologue with one book in mind, so some of it is going to be used for ToM. We also know that Sanderson added some of his own writing to each Prologue. So I'm wondering what people think here, keeping in mind which would work for the books being separated and which for it all being one book.
Lan: I'm guessing RJ. Nothing advanced for Lan in TGS, so BS could keep RJ's stuff in there without a problem. If we weren't going to hear about Lan for a long time, it was like RJ to mention him at the start.
Perrin: I'm guessing BS wrote this. Either that or nothing that happened to Perrin in TGS had any effect that would have changed something RJ wrote that was intended to go before it.
Galad: I have no guess on this one. We didn't hear from him except the mention by Tam... so I suppose my guess is RJ.
Fain (probably): same as what I said about Lan and Galad.
Invasion: This is most likely written by Sanderson, or if it was by RJ it had to be moved from a different part of the book. I don't think RJ would have written Renald going off to war in the same Prologue as an invasion of the Borderlands.

Good to know, even though I'll probably skip it and wait for the full book. *NM*

My money's on Slayer or perhaps Moridin rather than Fain.

Left humanity behind... could be Fain, Slayer or Moridin I guess. *NM*

Graendal at one point considered herself "no longer merely human" or word to that effect *NM*

That would be a great easter egg as an ebook exclusive (leaving it out of the full printed release). *NM*

Is it just me, or does "Distinctions" rank as the flattest-sounding prologue title to date? *NM*

"Another" meaningless bloodbath? Aren't most people annoyed at the lack of such thus far? *NM*
