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 - 31/08/2010 08:02:52 PM 1454 Views
