attn: Etzel re: theories on the fulfillment of Rand's death prophecies Terez Send a noteboard - 12/10/2010 12:35:42 AM
To Etzel: I was wondering if you have your 'Rand fakes his death' theory written up all proper with the new evidence from TGS. I'm trying to make a summary of the evidence for my theory, but I wanted to cover the other prevailing theories, and I figured you would be the best one to go to for this one. I was going to link to Luckers from DM for the body swap theory, unless you guys know of a better version of that theory. I don't think anyone on Theoryland has written it recently (so we have a lot of outdated theories). Luckers is probably best anyway since so many people are familiar with his version of it.

Also, do you know of any other theories about how the death prophecies will be fulfilled? Mine falls into the category of Nynaeve 'healing' his death. Some people speak up for some other random supernatural resurrection sometimes, but it seems that most people go for Nynaeve, the faked death, the body swap, or my pre-TGS theory that he would die and live on in Tel'aran'rhiod, perhaps to be called back by the Horn.

And for lack of anything better to do with this thread, it would be interesting to see where rafo people stand on it, so I made it a survey.

I just don't see that as Nynaeve's "area of expertise" - 13/10/2010 10:09:39 PM 806 Views
Nynaeve was the one who witnessed the weave, not Egwene. - 14/10/2010 12:38:14 AM 796 Views

There's also the "ripped from TAR after death" theory, ala Birgitte (re how Rand lives again). - 12/10/2010 04:37:26 PM 853 Views
That be my theory - 12/10/2010 04:45:55 PM 890 Views
and from all other people - 12/10/2010 05:33:45 PM 985 Views
And your point is? *NM* - 12/10/2010 05:35:35 PM 381 Views
It's not specifically your theory. or a theory that you thought of first..... *NM* - 13/10/2010 04:32:48 PM 375 Views
Nobody said I thought of it first. - 13/10/2010 04:36:45 PM 720 Views

It's the truth. - 13/10/2010 06:29:56 PM 737 Views
Think of it this way, Emma... - 13/10/2010 06:00:11 PM 847 Views

You could at least try not to contradict yourself. - 13/10/2010 06:29:11 PM 712 Views
Me being childish? - 13/10/2010 06:52:24 PM 756 Views
Some more thoughts ... - 12/10/2010 05:03:58 PM 907 Views
I don't think it is necessary that Rand be a public figure as Elayne's husband. - 12/10/2010 05:08:10 PM 762 Views
It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM 868 Views
On that particular point... - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM 858 Views
That's reasonable speculation, I think ... - 12/10/2010 07:58:23 PM 788 Views
I don't know that Egwene's lack of recognition necessarily means anything... - 12/10/2010 08:07:11 PM 696 Views
Yep, I agree ... - 12/10/2010 09:18:57 PM 780 Views
By the way ... - 12/10/2010 10:07:49 PM 697 Views
But that is not the only prophecy of Rand's death. - 12/10/2010 10:13:50 PM 701 Views
Just playing devil's advocate here ... - 12/10/2010 10:58:40 PM 856 Views
That raises an interesting question: - 13/10/2010 04:01:17 PM 780 Views

That is unfortunate. - 12/10/2010 08:02:18 PM 794 Views
Switching bodies with Logain is mine. *NM* - 13/10/2010 05:03:43 AM 398 Views
Are we doing that now? I call dibs on Be'laim. - 14/10/2010 04:32:59 PM 846 Views
Body swap or Nynaeve heal seem the best bets to me. - 14/10/2010 04:42:16 PM 777 Views
