Red stone doorway. Bigerich Send a noteboard - 07/09/2009 03:27:22 PM
Rand couldn’t think about his madness. He also couldn’t think about what Cadsuane was doing with Semirhage. That left only his plans. The north and the east must be as one. The west and the south must be as one. The two must be as one. That was the answer he’d received from the strange creatures beyond the red stone doorway. It was all he had to go on.


This is new, isn't it? I think so, anyway. We've heard a variation of this before from the Prophecies of the Dragon, but seeing as Rand asked the question himself, it seems like it would be something he has to be involved in himself, perhaps through either Mat or Egwene.

The only mystery seems to be what Rand's question was, exactly. All I can think of would be something like: "How can I unite the land/world before Tarmon Gai'don" or something similar.

The above mentioned prophecy:
"The Prophecies said he would bind together the people of every land--"The north shall he tie to the east, and the west shall be bound to the south."

For all of those whining about it not sounding like RJ: Narg - 05/09/2009 05:47:07 PM 1893 Views
Agreed. If anything, it's a tribute to RJ Gher - 05/09/2009 06:17:36 PM 1740 Views

He dislikes Sanderson's prose. Plot content is irrelevant here. *NM* Marshall - 08/09/2009 06:44:42 PM 1026 Views
