I don't see Singing playing any role in TG Jim Send a noteboard - 08/03/2012 05:08:24 AM
For 3 reasons, one there is no Song, the Tinkers break off from the Aiel "...to find a place where we can be safe, and sing again.” Over the course of 3000 years it becomes a grand quest for the Song. 2, Singing was a Talent, LTT asks Ishy, "Have you the Voice, stranger? It will soon be time for the Singing." And they have no way of testing for this Talent. 3, no one knows any of the songs that were sung by the Aiel in the AoL. Not to mention Tinkers likely wouldn't have even a small amount of Talent for Singing due to interbreeding with the rest of the world, just as Taren Ferry didn't have any channelers.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

So who thinks Elayne will die in aMoL? mogi67 - 29/02/2012 04:02:07 AM 2361 Views
Given the various Foretellings and Min Viewings the only way Elayne can die darius_sedai - 29/02/2012 05:48:50 AM 1464 Views
Dying in childbirth would be totally lame Zeratul - 29/02/2012 09:34:47 AM 1453 Views
There is the one vision Min had of Aveinda where she was going to have 4? babies but it was odd *NM* Nolan - 29/02/2012 04:53:46 PM 749 Views
That's nothing to do with Elayne Cannoli - 29/02/2012 05:19:39 PM 1454 Views
Or does it? JasonD - 10/03/2012 06:21:53 PM 1259 Views
She's already gone from Caemlyn at the timeof the attack, at the meeting in Merrilor Cannoli - 29/02/2012 05:29:27 PM 1686 Views
Going to have to agree 100% *NM* Myrdhyn - 29/02/2012 06:42:15 PM 811 Views
I also get the feeling that RJ isn't going to kill off any main characters LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 10:44:29 PM 1269 Views
Ok... fionwe1987 - 01/03/2012 03:23:11 AM 1348 Views
practically speaking you're correct. But this is a fantasy novel with a pro-protagonist tone LadyLorraine - 01/03/2012 04:24:38 PM 1280 Views
I disagree... fionwe1987 - 01/03/2012 06:29:32 PM 1485 Views
not everyone, but I'd bet the core group all survives Jim - 02/03/2012 05:51:03 AM 1440 Views

is there any chance that the broken crown could refer to Manethrean? (sp?) LadyLorraine - 05/03/2012 02:10:17 AM 1414 Views
Perrin bringing Manthrean back seems unlikely Jim - 05/03/2012 04:28:57 PM 1373 Views
No, I realize that LadyLorraine - 05/03/2012 09:12:56 PM 1316 Views

Ahhh. I had forgotten that particular detail LadyLorraine - 06/03/2012 02:45:28 PM 1278 Views

You misunderstand my point darius_sedai - 09/03/2012 05:31:09 AM 1316 Views
Re: You misunderstand my point DomA - 09/03/2012 12:40:29 PM 1759 Views
Agreed. For all we know the baby image could be Lan meeting the oath taken for him by raising darius_sedai - 09/03/2012 01:23:06 PM 1262 Views
No one mourned or cheered when Dobraine was dying. *NM* fionwe1987 - 09/03/2012 04:12:39 PM 1008 Views

I didn't know Naelson was a Darkfriend, or Tylin either. What about Jaim? Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:45:57 AM 1602 Views
they're not main characters either Jim - 02/03/2012 05:58:13 AM 1416 Views
I wouldn't even consider Morgase to be a MAIN character. Evil_Monkey - 02/03/2012 12:28:41 PM 1367 Views
Yes. I am classifying Main Characters as Rand, Egwene, Elayne, Perrin, Mat, Avi, Min and Nynaeve. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/03/2012 05:42:58 PM 1148 Views
Verin is the most significant character to die that I recall darius_sedai - 01/03/2012 04:50:51 PM 1388 Views
Re: I also get the feeling that RJ isn't going to kill off any main characters Praziquantel - 02/03/2012 12:53:41 AM 1304 Views
And you think she won't hop back to Caemlyn the moment word comes of the attack? *NM* fionwe1987 - 01/03/2012 03:22:11 AM 737 Views
No, she won't be able to weave the gateway and Rand won't let anyone make her one. *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:48:06 AM 889 Views
The smartass answer: Birgitte. But, despite all seeming evidence, I don't know why anyone would. *NM* Palatine - 01/03/2012 04:36:22 PM 889 Views
Hope or think? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/03/2012 06:30:58 PM 735 Views
Oh God I hope she does *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:48:46 AM 984 Views
i don't think she will....just hoping. *NM* moridin15 - 04/03/2012 09:55:06 AM 917 Views
It's fairly doubtful DomA - 04/03/2012 04:34:01 PM 1548 Views

I expect Moiraine to be the second woman to link with Rand Jim - 05/03/2012 02:08:44 AM 1380 Views
I'm very suspicious of the whole "Callandor" theory.... DomA - 06/03/2012 03:27:05 AM 1634 Views
I have wondered for a long time if the Ogier, Rand, Aiel and the Tinkers won't end up darius_sedai - 06/03/2012 04:04:13 AM 1179 Views
