Forgive me if I missed it, but I think the most obvious points haven't been discussed: The Angry Druid Send a noteboard - 22/06/2012 10:59:02 PM
Not that access SG via T'A'R or some such isn't important, but two things jumped out at me immediately upon reading this.

1) "His blood on the rocks of SG"

Well, we've all assumed that would happen AT SG, but now, it may not. Of course, "his blood" may not be literal, and could refer to his bloodline (Elayne's babies, Galad, or even Luc), but the blood being shed to free the world from the DO could happen in Caemlyn.

2) Taim's status.

Feed the Taim/Moridin fires somewhat more, doesn't it? I mean, bringing SG rock into the BT for just some 3rd Age DF seems a bit extravagant, doesn't it? Maybe there is some property to it that makes it necessary, perhaps its a part of the "key" to the dreamspike now in use? But still, the fact that Moridin's palace is also made of Black seems to jump right out at me.

Of course, we now know that the term "palace" was used a bit loosely. But still, I think Taim must either be Moridin, or his proxy.

So apparently the palace at the Black Tower is made of Shayol Ghul stone... - 23/05/2012 12:57:37 AM 2279 Views
I saw that too, but how is that even possible?? - 23/05/2012 03:02:57 AM 1293 Views
Not the palace... - 23/05/2012 03:32:59 AM 1304 Views
That is good logic, but the flip side is: Why would RJ bother to specify that if it were minutiae? - 23/05/2012 11:22:24 AM 1136 Views
Wouldn't have taken any time away from creating the ending. - 23/05/2012 02:58:32 PM 1034 Views
It just seems an odd thing to mention purely as background color. - 23/05/2012 08:17:45 PM 1119 Views

Yeah, my bet is it is something more like that. - 23/05/2012 09:14:24 PM 1047 Views

His response certainly seem to raise more questions than it answers, perhaps deliberately. - 25/05/2012 01:38:30 AM 1012 Views

My initial thoughts on it had to do with the properties of SG. - 23/05/2012 10:58:21 PM 992 Views
Taim always a darkfriend? - 28/05/2012 01:17:34 AM 1215 Views
