That's pretty much what I think, and also why I don't think there's one 'real' world. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 22/08/2013 04:01:44 AM

View original postThe more interesting paradox (which shed some interesting light on a few things happening in the series, notably the fact Shai'tan does not appear to learn much or have memories of past confrontations to share with his "Champion" Moridin, to his great frustration) was this: outside the Pattern, in the "prison", time doesn't exist.

The Mirror Worlds are also variations of the Pattern. When he stepped outside the Pattern, he was of all worlds and none. It's not that the reality we've been following is real and the others are all reflections, it's that in the instant of confrontation, Rand represented all worlds. He not only won across all time, he won across all possible variations of the Pattern. The Dark One is free in all worlds, or he is free in none. And he is free in none.

The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

It's fairly obvious, Jordan-style (ie: a few cl;ues, you have to think it up yourself) DomA - 30/07/2013 02:56:55 PM 1360 Views
Mmh I would need to re-read the relevant chapter... Lo'oris - 30/07/2013 03:01:51 PM 1205 Views
At that point the Shadow had PLENTY of resources in Illian though. Joel - 18/08/2013 01:06:06 PM 1282 Views

Still sounds like rationalization to me (no offense.) Joel - 19/08/2013 03:19:51 PM 1343 Views

Rand (or ter'angreal Rand) seemed to think it would. Joel - 20/08/2013 03:34:29 AM 1160 Views
The way I see it, Fanatic-Templar - 20/08/2013 04:36:30 AM 1145 Views
Right, so Rand either serves the Shadow in all worlds or none. Joel - 20/08/2013 04:58:51 AM 1129 Views

Yeah, it works on that level, as noted in that response: Joel - 22/08/2013 08:40:30 AM 1164 Views
