My prediction is that Fortuona is irrevocably (in her mind) set in a course against Rand at this point, and for what WAS good reason.
Her raid against TV... well, let's just say that its effectiveness has yet to be determined. At minimum, she has Elaida... I mean, Suffa... so we know she has Travelling.
I predict conflict yet to come between the Seanchan armies, and the forces of the Light (of the Dragon and the Aes Sedai). However, a truce will be negotiated at some point, when Fortuona realizes that Rand has changed. That will be necessary for Rand to bind the Nine Moons to him, and for him to kneel before the Crystal Throne (if that's not just an Ishamaophecy).
Two interesting possibilities... I think that Mat may have a part in persuading his wife that Rand's okay - and that Rand's and Nynaeve's vouching for Mat in the first place will increase her trust in him to a point that she takes his word. (Nice circular logic, huh?) I also predict that the kneeling before the Crystal Throne will be no more than what could not happen before... the Dragon Reborn acknowledging the Empress, who cannot (any longer) allow herself to be the 'equal' of anyone.

I think one has to consider the Tower of Midnight in any theory

Didn't RJ say he wouldn't be writing any scenes in Seanchan proper?

Maybe he won't, but the next book is called Towers of Midnight which is in Seanchan *NM*

This is what I think. If anything happens in Seanchan it'll just be the throne being moved *NM*

I highly doubt it will be just the throne being moved... the name of the book is Towers of Midnight

The title carries symbolic and poetic value, with or without events happening in Seanchan. *NM*

You could be right... I guess it depends on how much of the chaos in Seanchan gets wrapped up

Balefire against the Forsaken is completely different than balefire against cities. *NM*

I'm thinking that Rand, Mat and Perrin visit Tuon/Fortuona next.
