Yeah, that's possible. Etzel Send a noteboard - 25/09/2009 03:11:33 PM
Towers might refer to several Towers we saw in the theories. But also the title "The Gathering Storm" might indicate that the strike of the Seanchan won't happen till ToM. We'll see.


If Egwene really does only have four or five chapters in ToM, as BS apparently said, we wouldn't have nearly enough time to see the entire attack unfold. We may not see the end of the battle in TGS, but I'd be shocked if we didn't at least see the beginning.
