That raises an interesting question: Gher Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 04:01:17 PM
In your theory (I just finished reading it), you mentiond Egwene's dream of a "man lay dying in a narrow bed, and it was important he not die, yet outside a funeral pyre was being built, and voices raised songs of joy and sadness". My take on that dream is, Rand's old/dead body is on the funeral pyre (as you suggested), and the "man who lay dying" is Rand in his new incarnation (having just been yanked from TAR looking different, or having just somehow survived in Moridin's body). And the fact that he looks different explains why Egwene doesn't recognize the dying man as Rand. As for why the new Rand lays dying ... either it's just after he was ripped from TAR, like Birgitte was dying before she was bonded, or he's only barely surviving in Moridin's body, and Nynaeve has some work to do to save him.


Does the Warder Bond apply to the body or the soul*? If it's just the body, then Rand would have to be re-bonded by Min, Elayne and Aviendha (and could escape Alanna's bond). If it's the soul, would Rand need another Bond to heal from being ripped from TAR?


*'Thread' might be a better term than 'soul'. If the soul returned to the soul pool the warder bond would obviously disappear. But if a soul was transmigrated or body-swapped, the warder bond might still stick around.

I just don't see that as Nynaeve's "area of expertise" darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 10:09:39 PM 868 Views
Nynaeve was the one who witnessed the weave, not Egwene. Terez - 14/10/2010 12:38:14 AM 854 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 906 Views
That be my theory Terez - 12/10/2010 04:45:55 PM 965 Views
and from all other people Isabel - 12/10/2010 05:33:45 PM 1058 Views
And your point is? *NM* Terez - 12/10/2010 05:35:35 PM 410 Views
It's not specifically your theory. or a theory that you thought of first..... *NM* Isabel - 13/10/2010 04:32:48 PM 399 Views
Nobody said I thought of it first. Terez - 13/10/2010 04:36:45 PM 780 Views

It's the truth. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:29:56 PM 792 Views

You could at least try not to contradict yourself. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:29:11 PM 781 Views
Me being childish? Isabel - 13/10/2010 06:52:24 PM 828 Views
Some more thoughts ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 05:03:58 PM 981 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 826 Views
It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM 942 Views
On that particular point... Terez - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM 932 Views
That's reasonable speculation, I think ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 07:58:23 PM 862 Views
I don't know that Egwene's lack of recognition necessarily means anything... Terez - 12/10/2010 08:07:11 PM 748 Views
Yep, I agree ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 09:18:57 PM 859 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 1207 Views
By the way ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 10:07:49 PM 757 Views
But that is not the only prophecy of Rand's death. Terez - 12/10/2010 10:13:50 PM 760 Views
Just playing devil's advocate here ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 10:58:40 PM 927 Views

That is unfortunate. Terez - 12/10/2010 08:02:18 PM 844 Views
Switching bodies with Logain is mine. *NM* Tom - 13/10/2010 05:03:43 AM 432 Views
Are we doing that now? I call dibs on Be'laim. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:32:59 PM 913 Views
Body swap or Nynaeve heal seem the best bets to me. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:42:16 PM 833 Views
