Rand starts out holding the sword, but at eventually she "could hardly make out that it was him at all" because it wasn't anymore.

On...Great work by Linda as always. I stand amazed.<br /><br />One thought I had on the Egwene's dream of Rand hitting the crystal sphere with 23 lights and Rand hacking the ropes apart and the beautiful sphere falling apart.<br /><br />I thought this sphere, and the lights therein, might represent the Aiel. In Aviendha's 2nd trip through the columns, there are 11 clans at the last meeting, and the Blood of the Dragon is also given a voice. A chief and a Wise One from each of the eleven clans would equal 22, + the blood of the Dragon for 23. <br /><br />Bit of a stretch, but I think it may fit better than the 23 forces of the light, why would Rand hack them apart, when he's been struggling so mightily to get them together?TrueCrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647230788253070410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-23625995343376535562011-12-24T08:01:05.810-05:002011-12-24T08:01:05.810-05:00Great post!

Egwene attributes the murdered sisters to Mesaana when in fact, they were killed by the Bloodknives. So the events don't match the Dream because the "serpent" didn't kill any "eagles". Dreams are supposed to be prophetic which implies that it's impossible to change the outcome unless there's an "if" involved.<br /><br />I think it's more likely to refer to the BT and the 13x13 thing going on there because we know that actually happened and the people there are slow to notice what's happening there while others (e.g. Egwene and Rand) hardly pay any attention to it even when they know they should.<br /><br />LandroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-19640261791019051362010-02-17T09:08:06.778-05:002010-02-17T09:08:06.778-05:00"A dream of a storm, great dark clouds rollin..."A dream of a storm, great dark clouds rolling without wind or rain, while lighting forks, every one identical, rent the earth."<br /><br />While the storm certainly has other meanings now, the lightning forks, 'every one identical,' definitely brings to mind for me the sul'dam dresses.

And the costs to the light are considerable. While ostensibly a darkfriend, Verin proved to be a friend of the light by detailing so much information ablout the Black Ajah, most importantly their membership. While she wrote a lot of this down, who knows what she knew at the time of her death that she hadn't put in her diary and with what she knew she could have offered important analysis to the tower on futher BA activities.<br /><br /> Yet because Mat wanted to save Moiraine, he forces her to take the path she does in tGS.kurynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-33543865576087971842009-09-18T17:45:38.885-04:002009-09-18T17:45:38.885-04:00:) Thanks
