Another popular one could be "How did Narg learn to speak human language?"
Darkfriends and other human inhabitants of the Blight as implied exist in the prologue of tGS."Why does the Tree of Life not grow any off-spring, and how did the Aiel get the sapling that was sent to Cairhien?"
For the first, the chora trees are artificial constructs created by humans in the AoL to spread their hippy peace vibe. Being lab creations, they have no natural means of propagating, just as many hybrid animals are sterile (i.e. mules). For the second, they might have simply told various candidates for testing to grab a cutting from Avendesora on their way back out, and kept it up until someone they sent to Rhuidean passed. "Why exactly do the WO think that entering TaR in the flesh is evil and causes loss-of-soul (an official symptom of Claritin-D)?"
Because it's true. Perrin's own observations of "Lord Luc" seem to confirm this, what with his smelling inhuman. As for why the WO think so, it could be simple dogmatic tradition handed down, or actually recalling some dumbass who tried it. "Who made the Portal Stones, were they invented for more than mere transportation (e.g., research), and how were they made?"
"Does Fortuana really think that "choosing not to channel" makes her different from other potential channelers?"
Yes, and why not? From what everyone who LIKES female channelers has said, mareth'damane CANNOT choose to refrain from channeling. They, like Rand, are born with the spark and will channel whether they want to or not. Tuon, on the other hand, was NOT born with the spark and merely has the ability to learn if she wishes. She chooses not to indulge that aspect of her nature. She has not actually spoken of collaring other sul'dam, so she is not a hypocrite. "Does Fortuana really think that "choosing not to channel" makes her different from other potential channelers?"
"Since Elyas is an experienced Borderlander and Wolfbrother who knows that the Last Battle is coming, why isn't he doing anything about gathering the wolves for TG?"
If Lan & Moiraine are so badass, why did they need to find Rand? Same deal. It's not Elyas' job.
