Yes, and what I love is the CERTAINTY. Shannow Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 03:35:38 PM
His presence can hold off the Dark One? What a cool guy... finally

Suddenly Moridin and all of the Forsaken seem like trifles. They'll need to band together to match this guy.


No longer will old ladies be able to make him doubt himself all the time.

He clearly has gained access to some cosmic knowledge - whether from Lews Therin's memories or from some other revelation on Dragonmount.

But he suddenly knows that he can hold back the Dark One, and what lies ahead.

It seems like this may well be Rand Therin Telamon, with centuries of experience from the Age of Legends and the previous War of the Shadow now part of his character and personality.

He is no longer the Rand with 20 years of farmyard experience only.

Wonderful.

It's the style. In the Randland context, the word "grows" is more appropriate... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:31:22 PM 1857 Views
did you not read my reply title? That was a quote from The Shadow Rising, same exact context. *NM* Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:32:23 PM 886 Views
Fine. So be it. It still feels wrong to me. *NM* Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:36:16 PM 826 Views

He has achieved enlightenment and knows more than everyone else, so he doesn't have to be insecure.. Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:52:23 PM 1661 Views
I don't agree - I think that what he is going to tell Egwene will be unpleasant for everyone. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 04:07:19 PM 1597 Views
Why would that upset her? Shannow - 01/10/2010 04:21:29 PM 1831 Views
