It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM
... I just don't think Rand will live on as a recluse, hiding his face from public so that he's not recognized. That would be a crummy way to live, especially if he'll live on for several hundred years due to being a channeler.

I agree, he could avoid ever being seen as Elayne's husband if they so desire it. I was just using that as an example of why he needs to look different. Even if he settles down on a remote farm somewhere, someone would eventually recognize him and the secret would get out. I don't think that will ever happen, so ... he needs to look different. I don't know if you addressed that in your theory or not, but I'll have a look - I am interested in reading it.

Of course, this is all based on my gut feeling that only a select few will know that Rand survived. Which could easily be wrong. But judging from the various viewings, prophecies, 4th age quotes, etc., it just doesn't seem as if the Dragon Reborn is going to survive the LB. Only Rand will, enabling him to live out a "normal" life (after being used by the Wheel so, he deserves that!) - something he'd be unable to do if the Dragon Reborn survives.

I just don't see that as Nynaeve's "area of expertise" darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 10:09:39 PM 976 Views
Nynaeve was the one who witnessed the weave, not Egwene. Terez - 14/10/2010 12:38:14 AM 960 Views

There's also the "ripped from TAR after death" theory, ala Birgitte (re how Rand lives again). Shishka - 12/10/2010 04:37:26 PM 1016 Views
That be my theory Terez - 12/10/2010 04:45:55 PM 1088 Views
and from all other people Isabel - 12/10/2010 05:33:45 PM 1188 Views
And your point is? *NM* Terez - 12/10/2010 05:35:35 PM 456 Views
It's not specifically your theory. or a theory that you thought of first..... *NM* Isabel - 13/10/2010 04:32:48 PM 449 Views
Nobody said I thought of it first. Terez - 13/10/2010 04:36:45 PM 896 Views

It's the truth. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:29:56 PM 896 Views
Think of it this way, Emma... Terez - 13/10/2010 06:00:11 PM 1031 Views

You could at least try not to contradict yourself. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:29:11 PM 895 Views
Me being childish? Isabel - 13/10/2010 06:52:24 PM 933 Views
Some more thoughts ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 05:03:58 PM 1090 Views
I don't think it is necessary that Rand be a public figure as Elayne's husband. Terez - 12/10/2010 05:08:10 PM 926 Views
It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM 1050 Views
On that particular point... Terez - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM 1050 Views
That's reasonable speculation, I think ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 07:58:23 PM 953 Views
I don't know that Egwene's lack of recognition necessarily means anything... Terez - 12/10/2010 08:07:11 PM 863 Views
Yep, I agree ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 09:18:57 PM 977 Views
I'm not so sure the 'blood on the rocks' isn't a red herring any more. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:23:18 PM 1335 Views
By the way ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 10:07:49 PM 853 Views
But that is not the only prophecy of Rand's death. Terez - 12/10/2010 10:13:50 PM 861 Views
Just playing devil's advocate here ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 10:58:40 PM 1058 Views
That raises an interesting question: Gher - 13/10/2010 04:01:17 PM 981 Views
Re: That raises an interesting question: Shishka - 13/10/2010 05:57:39 PM 993 Views
IIRC... Etzel - 12/10/2010 07:58:39 PM 1115 Views
That is unfortunate. Terez - 12/10/2010 08:02:18 PM 944 Views
Switching bodies with Logain is mine. *NM* Tom - 13/10/2010 05:03:43 AM 478 Views
Are we doing that now? I call dibs on Be'laim. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:32:59 PM 1019 Views
Body swap or Nynaeve heal seem the best bets to me. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:42:16 PM 941 Views
