How do you people envision Tarmon Gai'don?
I personally see it as a series of battles on all fronts (in all nations) at once; and somehow all these battles will revolve around the central one between Rand and Shai'tan. I don't think that Rand will die, do you? |

Wow, this is a huge serie is there any clue how many books Jordan will write before Tarmon Gaidon comes?
but, the question. Yes, I imagine it like you Beren. Shadowspawn mingling out from everywhere, the Darkfriends reaveling themselves, and the Forsaken ones standing up, if Rand don't kill all of them before. But I don't know where the battle between Rand and Shai'tan will be. I can't really imganie them battling at Shaoyl Gul(is that th way it is written, don't remember clearly), but somewhere up in the heaven, like above Falme, or like that when he fights the forsaken, is it Ishammael , right after he weilds Calandor.

yeah, I have read that. I think I agree with you. I didn't think about it that way.

Beren, you have an interesting idee of Tarmon Gai'don. I also think it will take place on more than one front, but not all over. I believe that it will only take place at 3 fronts - around Rand, Mat and Perrin. I don't think they will be together.
No, I believe Rand will survive it. Though I don't think he will ever quite recover of it - kind of like with the wound he has, but worse. As for how many books, I heard it is 12. I haven't heard anything of a 13th book, but who knows. I just hope he will finish them before finishing his prologues. |

I think N & Elyne will be with Rand, maybe Egwene too - or she will be with Perrin. I think you know who I think Mat will be with, but I won't say it, cause it might just spoil something big for Pytt Quote:

Yeah I guess Rand isn't always an idiot. Sometimes he does the right things.

Always. He's to hot headed, he refuses to listen to advise, he is rather inconsiderate of other people's feelings and he does a lot of stuff just wrong. Oh, and he is incapable of trusting anyone. This might be kind of understanding due to the fact that he is the Dragon Reborn, but it isn't a very good excuse. He is still to difficult and he makes things so difficult for himself. Lets just say his not my favourite character.

He need to trust his own judgements, and he lsten to advise too. But it isn't everyone he can trust, which I support him in. Look how Moiraine behaved the first time they were together. it wasn't until the end he learned to trust her, and she said never to trust an Aes Sedai, so I think he does the right thing. He does think about it sometimes, about those letters Elayne wrote, and Min, who isn't laughing at him and calling him fool all of the time, and Avihenda who showed her true self. How can you accept he should handel? I mean, he has the whole band of Forsakens to crush! and as you say, he is the Dragon Reborn. he hear the voice of Lews Therin inside his head. I don't know if he is my fav character, but I like him alot. he is cool, and there is something about him.

Lenya, as regards Rand being stupid: I don't have any quotes unfortunately (too lazy to dig them up ), but I'll cite some evidence to his favor anyway:
-He outwits Lanfear and Asmodean both. -He catches Rahvin by surprise -About his sullenness: who wouldn't be sullen around Nynaeve, Elayne and any other woman in RJ's world? I mean, if I met someone like Nynaeve in real life, it'd be all I can do not to beat the crap out of her! -Sure he can get proud, self-absorbed, morbid, etc... at times but look what he's facing! He has to wake up everyday to a guilty conscience concerning the people he caused to die, he's fighting madness and he's almost certain he's going to have to die for all the world. |

-As for Rahvin, that was good. I'll give him that. -he isn't always around those women and I think he should just get his attitude changed about them. -There's no excuse for being proud and self-absorbed, at least not all the time. He should be able to handle that if he tries. -and as for morbid, that's fine. He just shouldn't sulk. |
