All of them ranagrande Send a noteboard - 18/10/2009 12:09:55 AM
without her anyway?

My memory of the books isn't as great as yours, but how many of the alternative futures ends well for Rand?

If I were Rand, I might have preferred some of those alternate lives to the one he has now.



Which one of those ends in Rand winning/shadow losing?
I can safely say this because we have been told the great paradox: "If the Dark One breaks free in one world, he will be free in all of them, but as long as he is imprisoned in at least one world, he is imprisoned in them all."

Sure, Rand repeatedly heard a voice proclaim "I have won again Lews Therin," but even he recognized that it was a lie. We know that the shadow cannot have won in any of those other worlds because it is still fighting for a victory in the "real" world.

Beg to differ, the "endless summer" was VERY important to the shadow NaClH2O - 17/10/2009 10:44:15 PM 855 Views

believe what you want, but if the weather hadn't changed when it did TG would be over by now. *NM* NaClH2O - 18/10/2009 11:56:09 PM 281 Views

It has to be Moiraine TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:00:32 PM 690 Views
Actually there were a couple of versions that happened, and Moiraine came in neither. Cannoli - 17/10/2009 05:32:52 PM 752 Views
So you think the story would have panned out TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:46:46 PM 525 Views
None. *NM* BlackAdder - 17/10/2009 08:43:08 PM 272 Views

IIRC the prophecies don't say anything about whether the DR will win. BlackAdder - 18/10/2009 05:05:03 PM 488 Views
