Re: Well... RandAllThor Send a noteboard - 19/09/2009 01:39:59 AM
Without knowing just what happens in GS I would speculate something about Tar Valon. Also, I'm rusty on WOT lore, but wasn't there a tower in Seanchan too? So maybe it is about the two towers and the war for Tar Valon?


If Egwene only has five or six chapters in the book, I would guess that most, though not all, of the battling over Tar Valon would happen in TGS. Still, it seems likely that the Rand-Eg confrontation will happen in TV in the course of the book, so it isn't out of the question that the Tower could have a role to play.

The Seanchan idea is an intriguing possibility, but didn't either RJ or Sanderson say somewhere that we wouldn't be seeing Seanchan proper in the remaining books (debunking the theory that Rand would literally kneal before the Crystal Throne), or am I dreaming that up?

Also, any thoughts on the significance of Midnight in the title, beyond reenforcing the absence-of-light motif of AMOL?

Does "Towers of Midnight" refer to the Seanchan fortress? Dodge - 19/09/2009 01:24:56 AM 2530 Views
Almost definitely. 13 towers in the complex. *NM* Werthead - 19/09/2009 01:35:49 AM 1056 Views

It's the place in Seanchan where the a'dam was first used. Werthead - 19/09/2009 03:46:46 AM 1889 Views
It would be nice place for Seeker Morr to torture Demandred, IMHO posing as General Galgan *NM* Curie - 20/09/2009 09:57:11 AM 1022 Views
Yes, there seem to be quite a few towers in this series, huh? *NM* Fantasy - 20/09/2009 11:16:27 PM 782 Views
A series of towers, one might say. *NM* fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 11:39:56 PM 762 Views

I can't find the relevant comment from RJ, but... RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 12:40:03 PM 1606 Views
Thanks, I thought I remembered RJ saying as much. *NM* RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 12:25:20 PM 729 Views
But RJ can change his mind right? redhand - 19/09/2009 01:38:54 PM 1459 Views
Of course. It would be nice to know where/when the comment was made. *NM* RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 01:53:35 PM 874 Views
I ask that you put spoilers in your title, whether they're in white or not. Thank you. *NM* Palatine - 19/09/2009 07:16:20 PM 744 Views

I think "Dance of Lightnings" is way too reminiscent of GRMM *NM* NaClH2O - 19/09/2009 08:26:12 PM 889 Views
He'd probably go with "Lance of Lightning". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 19/09/2009 09:42:11 PM 758 Views
That sorta sounds like a...er...adult cinematic feature title NaClH2O - 20/09/2009 02:59:51 AM 1350 Views
