Why does Rand have 3 wives? Sidious Send a noteboard - 31/08/2010 05:26:04 PM

I'm looking for an intellectual answer to this question. Its got to be one of Jordan's weirdist choices, and it's unusual even in general fantasy.

Why did Lews Therin only have one wife? Rand was foreordained to have three, and he loves them equally and they all love him back and have no real problem with their competition.

Thoughts?

I actually like Aviendha, but I also think her role could be combined or minimized RugbyPlayingAshaman - 31/08/2010 08:02:52 PM 1495 Views

I think it must have to do with the Arthurian legends. Legolas - 01/09/2010 01:26:31 AM 1809 Views

There are Elaines in Arthurian legends, yeah, but they're involved with Lancelot more than Arthur. Legolas - 01/09/2010 02:24:56 PM 1590 Views

I think you need another edit to clean up the double-post-within-a-post a bit. Very interesting! *NM* Legolas - 04/09/2010 01:45:45 PM 858 Views

Yeah, I meant if I had to pick from those three. Otherwise, there are better candidates. *NM* Legolas - 01/09/2010 02:23:50 PM 818 Views
