"Every possible outcome to a given situation is the actual outcome somewhere" TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 18/10/2009 04:45:44 PM
Not actual alternate realities.
I'm right in thinking Rand was himself in these, not watching it as a 3rd party, definitely didn't actually happen.
The portal stones are gateways to the worlds of infinite possibility. Every possible outcome to a given situation is the actual outcome somewhere in one of those alternate realities. So because those visions were things that could have happened, somewhere they do happen.


A possible outcome of this is the DO winning, you're over thinking it, if the DO had won in any dimension then nothing would have happened because it would have been undone.
I tend to think this is the one that matters, the others are just possibilities, "this is where it's at" so to speak.

Not to downplay Nynaeve BlackAdder - 17/10/2009 08:40:45 PM 857 Views
Beg to differ, the "endless summer" was VERY important to the shadow NaClH2O - 17/10/2009 10:44:15 PM 1074 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 374 Views
Actually, there might be a better reason for why it mattered. Lord Haart - 10/12/2009 07:03:32 PM 835 Views

It has to be Moiraine TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:00:32 PM 888 Views
Actually there were a couple of versions that happened, and Moiraine came in neither. Cannoli - 17/10/2009 05:32:52 PM 969 Views
So you think the story would have panned out TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:46:46 PM 717 Views
None. *NM* BlackAdder - 17/10/2009 08:43:08 PM 362 Views

That all goes without saying TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 07:26:06 PM 652 Views

It's almost irrelevant- the Dragon Reborn was Foretold beetnemesis - 18/10/2009 02:07:47 AM 720 Views
Does that mean he'd win? TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 04:47:56 PM 743 Views
IIRC the prophecies don't say anything about whether the DR will win. BlackAdder - 18/10/2009 05:05:03 PM 686 Views
Not really what I was arguing. TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 05:30:05 PM 709 Views

Someone needs to re-adjust their meds RabidWombat - 18/10/2009 05:55:58 AM 852 Views
I wouldn't bother justifying yourself to him TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 05:41:42 PM 752 Views
That is true for most people if not all RabidWombat - 18/10/2009 11:28:44 PM 763 Views
He's got a point though... Cannoli - 21/10/2009 11:18:38 AM 823 Views
