Seems like it'd be the opposite, wouldn't it? (AND GODDAMMIT THERE IS NO SONG) beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 21/04/2010 05:46:37 PM

That the spoiling of the food was related to Rand's "connection-to-the-land-symbolism-thingy". I was under the impression that the DO was responsible for the bad weather, and Rand was responsible for the food. To be honest though, I don't really know anything about this subject, so my opinion is effectively void.

Hm. If it's a Rand-is-the-land thing, wouldn't the terrible weather be more likely to be Rand, and the food be more likely to be the Dark One? Food doesn't really equal "land," but the DO is definitely in favor of death and decay.

I do happen to agree with you about the Tinkers though. I think that the Song will be necessary for the world to survive after Tarmon Gaidon. After all, the ecosystem for the planet is basically shot. And what better way to solve this problem than to take advantage of a plot element introduced in book one, and (uneccesarily) repeated in almost every subsequent book up until now?

There is. No. Song. It's a corruption of the old legends of Aiel seedsinging. I suppose it's POSSIBLE that seedsinging might make some sort of appearance, however unless they find a bunch of Da'shain Aiel in a stasis box, I don't see it happening. No one knows how to DO it, and only a handful of people even have an inkling that it existed.

I amuse myself.

Ahahaha, I read the capitalized DO as Dark One, not the word itself. Great Lord of Chaos - 22/04/2010 05:02:40 AM 808 Views

Most damage to the world is certainly done by the DO Etzel - 21/04/2010 02:03:07 PM 698 Views
