The reply about Rand's sword was frustrating, too, since it seems to conflict with what others have reported, "it's a logical conclusion that it is Justice". (From TMJ's report) That doesn't necessarily say it is Justice, but it sure is a misleading reply, at the very least.


Others reported the same in other words, that Brandon had said he found the speculation about it being Justice a valid theory.

People who are convinced it is Justice are putting words in his mouth since the book came out. It's become "he has all but confirmed it" when not flatty "he has confirmed it".

Actually, he has said much the same thing way about people who have LTT's sword theories.

He had done much the same thing last summer at the Q&A I attended. People said Mat and Perrin would meet in TGS and he answered the same way as he does for the sword, something along the lines of "I'll just say it's a logical assumption, they are fairly close to one another, and Galad is too, by the end of KOD".

By the time the book came out, people were swearing Brandon had said at that and other signings that Perrin and Mat meet in TGS. We know what happened to that "logical theory". BS is very much a non-spoiler sort of guy, but he said he likes to squatch the too far fetched theories more than RJ did.

He doesn't intend to reveal the origin of the sword before we RAFO.

Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! Etzel - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM 1054 Views
Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 957 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3107 Views
Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 06:02:26 PM 1630 Views

I asked Brandon to clarify last night in Pasadena about Cyndane rhiane - 18/11/2009 05:22:14 PM 794 Views
Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:42:51 PM 786 Views
That means, though Etzel - 18/11/2009 05:48:15 PM 724 Views
I've started a new thread, giving the new, DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list. Yay!!! *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:58:03 PM 409 Views
Re: Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... rhiane - 18/11/2009 09:27:06 PM 908 Views

trust me, it does kcf - 19/11/2009 04:22:47 AM 720 Views
I apparently have to Log In to read this. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:33:03 PM 925 Views
You don't need the email confirmation! Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:36:40 PM 901 Views
Hm. I could have sworn I saw something about an email confirmation. Thanks. *NM* Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:38:14 PM 414 Views
Naw how about you quote it for us in a new post *NM* Lord o' Salv - 18/11/2009 12:18:52 AM 463 Views
The strength comparisons don't make sense... Shannow - 17/11/2009 06:26:05 PM 965 Views
Re: The strength comparisons don't make sense... Lordling - 17/11/2009 06:55:39 PM 783 Views
BS also says in this context... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:05:25 PM 767 Views
If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 831 Views
I don't think... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 672 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1186 Views
Difficult... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 860 Views
Pahus! Yeah, you´re correct *NM* Lordling - 17/11/2009 07:59:49 PM 411 Views
Re: The strength comparisons don't make sense... Kaldric - 17/11/2009 07:22:38 PM 961 Views
I think he mis-spoke just a bit VTHokie - 17/11/2009 07:37:24 PM 676 Views
He wasn/t 100% sure of Semirhage... *NM* Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:44:11 PM 407 Views

Talaan and Someryn are pure guesses from Dom... Shannow - 17/11/2009 10:06:56 PM 852 Views
Elayne at the beginning of PoD thinks Talaan is at least as great as Nyn NaClH2O - 18/11/2009 12:23:31 AM 718 Views
She defeats her (eventually) guttering flame - 18/11/2009 06:08:08 AM 683 Views

It almost has to be Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 738 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 502 Views
But here's the thing.... Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 756 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 901 Views
I was just making argument Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 11:05:18 PM 772 Views
Guaire Amalasan! Legolas - 18/11/2009 12:50:09 AM 800 Views
Maybe Hawkwing took Justice from Amalasan after the Battle of the Jolvaine Pass? Werthead - 18/11/2009 02:09:03 AM 863 Views
That was the crazy part - I named him as one of LitN's "other channelers producing weapons". Legolas - 18/11/2009 02:17:25 AM 696 Views
Re: Guaire Amalasan! Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:18:37 AM 821 Views
And I appreciate your arguments! Matrimony Cauthon - 18/11/2009 08:49:55 AM 742 Views
Perhaps it's a "Sword for the Ages" Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:26:00 AM 659 Views
Where does it say it was found in water? guttering flame - 18/11/2009 09:36:52 AM 614 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. Logain - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 835 Views
Who is the Aiel chick with all the one power strength? I forget who, but she is Shaido. *NM* Logain - 17/11/2009 11:34:42 PM 402 Views
Someryn *NM* kcf - 17/11/2009 11:38:42 PM 406 Views

don't read too much into this kcf - 18/11/2009 12:00:19 AM 684 Views
