Not really what I was arguing. TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 18/10/2009 05:30:05 PM
Foretelling always happens. Always Just like with Min's visions. Sometimes there's an if/than statement (Min's definitely had those, I forget if Elaida has, it's been implied that Gitara did), but if something is Foretold to happen, it'll happen.


So, it makes this conversation kind of iffy. If Moiraine hadn't come, it stands to reason that Rand would have been declared in some other way. Or perhaps it is because of Moiraine's natural stubborness and drive that this was Foretold.

All those other realities couldn't have happened, for the very reason that Rand wasn't the proclaimed Dragon in them.



He could quite possibly have fullfiled many of the other scenarios.

Either way, the fortelling decided Moiranes "destiny" just because it could have been someone else doesn't mean she didn't do what she did.

This is getting into very odd waters about wether a fortelling in one reality has any sway in the others.


I'm simply saying, in this reality, the most important player for the light after Rand is Moiraine. I dont think the story would have went well without her. People can keep their "well he must win blah blah blah" but I just dont look on the series in that way.
Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

Beg to differ, the "endless summer" was VERY important to the shadow NaClH2O - 17/10/2009 10:44:15 PM 1150 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 419 Views

It has to be Moiraine TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:00:32 PM 961 Views
Actually there were a couple of versions that happened, and Moiraine came in neither. Cannoli - 17/10/2009 05:32:52 PM 1102 Views
So you think the story would have panned out TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:46:46 PM 806 Views
None. *NM* BlackAdder - 17/10/2009 08:43:08 PM 404 Views

It's almost irrelevant- the Dragon Reborn was Foretold beetnemesis - 18/10/2009 02:07:47 AM 831 Views
Does that mean he'd win? TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 04:47:56 PM 838 Views
IIRC the prophecies don't say anything about whether the DR will win. BlackAdder - 18/10/2009 05:05:03 PM 788 Views
