You're right that Moiraine, Nynaeve and Cadsuane would make a better fit.

And you seem to know a fair bit more than me about Arthuriana, so I'll take your word on all that. 
The thing is just that surely the three women thing has to come from somewhere, it's so random otherwise.
Interesting predictions. I like them.

We'll see. That scene could very well happen at the climax of the next book (more of Jordan twisting things around, the Arthurian Cyle ending there), after some mega Arthurian armaggedon at Caemlyn (Camlann, Camelot). We know the characters are set for a reunion at the "event" which starts the LB proper. It could well be heading for something like this, as there's nothing much Arthurian in what we can puzzle out for the LB -sealing of the Bore, the Horn sounded etc. That is inspired by other sources altogether, and it may be that Jordan planned to "wrap" the Arthurian stuff in Caemlyn as TG starts. Rand's epiphany in TGS was "surprising", in the sense it comes very early in the finale. It could well be that the Light is heading for a major road bump soon after (timeline-wise, so at the end of TOM), and that "new Rand" will be "dead" and out of commission for a while (ie: healing), to return to the world in the nick of things further down the line, for the finale of the Last Battle, or to begin to turn the tide midway into it.
Interesting predictions. I like them.
Why does Rand have 3 wives?

I actually like Aviendha, but I also think her role could be combined or minimized

I think it must have to do with the Arthurian legends.

Isn't one in some versions actually named Elayne? Also say Egwene al'Vere really fast and you get... *NM*

There are Elaines in Arthurian legends, yeah, but they're involved with Lancelot more than Arthur.

I think you need another edit to clean up the double-post-within-a-post a bit.

Yeah, I meant if I had to pick from those three. Otherwise, there are better candidates. *NM*

Well, RJ dated two women at once - and they were cool with it - but there's more
