The Eye of the World Ryan Send a noteboard - 19/01/2011 05:38:47 AM
He is ta'veren, part of the reason he goes to the Eye with Rand and Perrin. Moiraine recognizes them all three as ta'veren. Early in the Dragon Reborn as Egwene and co. approach Tar Valon, there is comments about his luck at dice, or dissaproving about his gambling.

His ta'veren luck really manifests fully in Tar Valon as the Pattern pretty much forces him to Tear to be there in time for the fall of the Stone.

The past is just that, the past. You can only truly live by looking to the future!

If you prefer, "The pattern working thru him" rather than "lucky" Mndrew - 20/01/2011 01:14:35 AM 1032 Views
Possibly true, but it's debatable if that was Mat's luck Lord Haart - 15/01/2011 10:04:45 AM 1137 Views
actually, his luck started much AFTER the dagger *NM* Lo'oris - 15/01/2011 01:28:12 PM 486 Views
he was ta'veren even then so his luck was likely in place already darius_sedai - 15/01/2011 04:47:42 PM 964 Views

That's the first time we see it overtly. But there is nothing to say it wasn't there before darius_sedai - 15/01/2011 07:45:56 PM 1049 Views

Not sure, but here's the excerpt A Deathwatch Guard - 16/01/2011 04:08:23 AM 999 Views
The second seems much more likely, and in keeping with the series. Ghavrel - 16/01/2011 06:05:20 AM 972 Views
