One point- the DO didn't break free, Rand dragged him out into the Pattern, specifically to kill him IndigoAjahV2 Send a noteboard - 15/01/2013 03:03:43 AM
Technically he does burst free in the words of the text but it's hard to assume that would have happened if Rand hadn't, to quote the book, "pulled the Dark One into the Pattern". Also it is heavily implied pages beforehand that the DO cannot destroy the pattern or harm humanity unless they allow him to and his power is to break mankind and rely on others, which is why he needs his army of Dhadowspawn and Forsaken

So, is anyone else thinking that ending was a bit of a dick move.... Cannoli - 10/01/2013 04:40:55 AM 3094 Views
Because, to quote the series... Great Lord of Chaos - 10/01/2013 05:01:51 AM 1509 Views
It's not so much about him not telling as cutting loved ones out of his life altogether *NM* Cannoli - 10/01/2013 05:47:14 AM 622 Views
I had hoped a lot more people would have died. standby - 30/01/2013 03:28:26 PM 892 Views
Frankly, it seemed out of character. Ghavrel - 10/01/2013 05:08:48 AM 1197 Views

I could be wrong, but... gban007 - 10/01/2013 06:16:02 AM 1220 Views

That was my interpretation as well. I think it was an attempt at showing Rand's humility. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/01/2013 08:17:52 AM 589 Views
If the World finds out he's still alive IndigoAjahV2 - 10/01/2013 08:05:18 AM 1127 Views
I can agree with keeping it secret from just about everyone, BUT his father and closest friends. Cannoli - 10/01/2013 10:56:58 AM 1125 Views

This is because I tend to assume the best in Rand IndigoAjahV2 - 10/01/2013 04:28:20 PM 896 Views
I don't fault Rand for any of it, at the moment.... lilltempest - 10/01/2013 04:49:25 PM 1041 Views

I got the impression Egwene knew releasing the Source would instantly kill her. Joel - 14/01/2013 11:42:03 AM 1068 Views
Re: I got the impression Egwene knew she was dead the moment she released the Source. lilltempest - 14/01/2013 05:59:21 PM 879 Views
Even if she would just have been burned out there was no reason to think it permanent. Joel - 14/01/2013 06:49:00 PM 867 Views
Where do people get that only Rand was right on the Seals? fionwe1987 - 14/01/2013 10:03:19 PM 1025 Views

If that were the case Taim certainly would have smashed the seals right away Isaac - 15/01/2013 08:54:14 AM 962 Views
From Egwenes insistence they NEVER be broken. Joel - 15/01/2013 07:26:36 AM 1021 Views

You don't think Nakomi did it? LoialT - 10/01/2013 07:54:20 PM 1504 Views

Re: Maybe LoialT - 10/01/2013 11:08:32 PM 1049 Views
I thought it was largely believed that Nakomi is an avatar of the Creator. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/01/2013 11:19:43 PM 577 Views
It's one of the dominant theories, not sure it's the one favoured by the majority, but maybe *NM* DomA - 10/01/2013 11:55:46 PM 512 Views
Nope.. an agent of the Wheel DomA - 10/01/2013 11:53:54 PM 1133 Views
IDK, I thought the body switch was a side-effect of the link between them Cannoli - 11/01/2013 02:38:33 AM 1000 Views

I've a suspiscion that the Rand scene of Epilogue was probably drafted already Isaac - 12/01/2013 12:11:13 AM 1033 Views

I think you need to re-read that last section Isaac - 15/01/2013 09:19:41 AM 958 Views
I agree. Rand carries a man out of SG who he didn't bring there- logic dictates he is Forsaken *NM* IndigoAjahV2 - 15/01/2013 12:44:18 PM 462 Views

It is something we just had to expect when Sanderson came in to finish the series. Joel - 15/01/2013 11:24:06 AM 792 Views
Impossible to say, but I doubt he intended to keep his inner circle perpetually in the dark. Joel - 14/01/2013 11:25:47 AM 1010 Views
I agree. Hell, he's still bonded to the women beetnemesis - 28/01/2013 03:42:47 PM 842 Views
