"Again the seed slays ancient wrong, before the Great Lord comes. Now the Great Lord comes."

The first verse most likely refers to the Seanchan attack on the WT, which Ishy certainly foresaw. TG will begin sometime after the attack, because then the DO will come.

In my view Nicola's foretelling of "a great battle done" also refers most likely to the Seanchan attack on the WT.


The famous Nicola foretelling was:

"The lion sword, the dedicated spear, she who sees beyond. Three on the boat, and he who is dead yet lives. The great battle done, but the world not done with battle. The land divided by the return, and the guardians balance the servants. The future teeters on the edge of a blade."

I think this entire prophecy is about events following the Last Battle. "The great battle done" is referencing Tarmon Gai'don, not the Seanchan attack on the WT. It suggests that any unity that is achieved will dissolve shortly after TG - the land is "divided by the return" and the Asha'man and Aes Sedai have to work things out. Just because TG has been won doesn't mean that everything will be perfect.

I agree with fionwe1987. IMO that was a reference to Fel & Rand's discussion earlier about TG. - 01/10/2009 05:21:16 AM 769 Views

Was that cited as a Dream, or one of those she thinks are just nightmares? Because it can't happen. - 02/10/2009 01:38:47 AM 724 Views
