No, I don't think so. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 23/11/2009 12:48:30 AM
For one thing, I have no reason to believe Moridin would die if Rand did. For another, Shai'tan would never allow his plans for victory to be hindered by Moridin's desire for survival. And finally, Moridin has no desire for survival - he wants everything to cease to exist, and if killing Rand would achieve that, he would be in o way reluctant to do so, even if it did kill him. Being alive or dead is only a characteristic that can be applied to things that exist.

No disasters have appened to the Shadow by Rand's capture. Freed or not Rand's capture by Elaida benefited the Shadow. Either by turning him against AS even more or having him under lock and key.


It also brought him his first sworn Aes Sedai, and essentially marks the end of Aes Sedai trying to bring him to heel for the White Tower.

What will be the punishment for Moridin for allowing Rand to do what he did? Shannow - 22/11/2009 12:04:27 PM 1455 Views
Given that LTT was more scared of the TP than of killing Min, I doubt the DO didn't intend it. *NM* Lord Haart - 22/11/2009 12:43:38 PM 351 Views
I agree... Etzel - 22/11/2009 12:45:30 PM 995 Views

How do we know it wasn't part of the DO's plan? TheCrownless - 22/11/2009 04:58:44 PM 834 Views
That presumes that Moridin KNEW that Rand could access the True Power through their link... Shannow - 22/11/2009 05:22:51 PM 919 Views
You're assuming that Rand channeled the TP through Moridin TheCrownless - 22/11/2009 06:01:46 PM 817 Views
You are correct. Shannow - 22/11/2009 06:11:11 PM 822 Views
Well, it was win-win for the Shadow. Fanatic-Templar - 22/11/2009 08:18:12 PM 706 Views
The Shadow aka Moridin doesn't want Rand dead because he might die with him Onarishma - 23/11/2009 12:40:08 AM 761 Views
No, I don't think so. Fanatic-Templar - 23/11/2009 12:48:30 AM 744 Views

I agree, I think the Dark One DID give Rand permission to use the TP Crackbrained Asha'man - 22/11/2009 06:56:55 PM 802 Views

I thought Rand was so desperate that he reached the True Power alone. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 23/11/2009 11:39:13 PM 685 Views
O saw no proof that he channelled through Moridin. *NM* everynametaken - 24/11/2009 02:47:44 AM 330 Views
Not proof, but good reason. Marshall - 27/11/2009 05:16:09 PM 663 Views
