And lo, Lanfear pulls him to her, blaming Moridin - and she has skills in Tel'aran'rhiod, as does Moridin.<br /><br />I never thought Rand's new found balance would last until the Last Battle.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-91161851261400785462012-03-07T00:00:18.199-05:002012-03-07T00:00:18.199-05:00it is a trap.

Egwene had a dream of a man lying on a cot (the type used in army tents?) and it was importent that he not die, but outside a funeral pyre was being built. I think it refers to Lan, but if Rand is trapped in in the unseen world or is in a coma like state. this may be the trigger to hand victory over to the shadow. Also I have wondered since the gathering storm if the effects of his being ta'veren was the real cause of his twisting of chance or was it a reference to his mental state? it seemed that the darker he got the nastier the negitive effects on the pattern. this was seen even before the gathering storm. if i am not mistaken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-80649002713770503892012-03-06T09:16:40.714-05:002012-03-06T09:16:40.714-05:00Linda,

What made you believe so?<br /><br />I saw it differently.<br /><br />Lanfear, I surmised, was being set up as a wildcard (a believable one) for the Last Battle. I figured she would be capable of turning back to the Light.<br /><br />It would bring the saga full circle, bearing in mind that Lanfear created the Bore.<br /><br />Achren of The Chronicles of Prydain comes to mind as a servant of the enemy who defects and eventually sacrifices herself to defeat her old ally/foe.<br /><br />I've guessed since reading that chapter that Lanfear would die in such a circumstance. I'll leave to others to guess what that scenario might be.Alechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853352807562606917noreply@blogger.com
