It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM
... I just don't think Rand will live on as a recluse, hiding his face from public so that he's not recognized. That would be a crummy way to live, especially if he'll live on for several hundred years due to being a channeler.

I agree, he could avoid ever being seen as Elayne's husband if they so desire it. I was just using that as an example of why he needs to look different. Even if he settles down on a remote farm somewhere, someone would eventually recognize him and the secret would get out. I don't think that will ever happen, so ... he needs to look different. I don't know if you addressed that in your theory or not, but I'll have a look - I am interested in reading it.

Of course, this is all based on my gut feeling that only a select few will know that Rand survived. Which could easily be wrong. But judging from the various viewings, prophecies, 4th age quotes, etc., it just doesn't seem as if the Dragon Reborn is going to survive the LB. Only Rand will, enabling him to live out a "normal" life (after being used by the Wheel so, he deserves that!) - something he'd be unable to do if the Dragon Reborn survives.

I just don't see that as Nynaeve's "area of expertise" darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 10:09:39 PM 756 Views
Nynaeve was the one who witnessed the weave, not Egwene. Terez - 14/10/2010 12:38:14 AM 739 Views

There's also the "ripped from TAR after death" theory, ala Birgitte (re how Rand lives again). Shishka - 12/10/2010 04:37:26 PM 810 Views
That be my theory Terez - 12/10/2010 04:45:55 PM 839 Views
and from all other people Isabel - 12/10/2010 05:33:45 PM 937 Views
And your point is? *NM* Terez - 12/10/2010 05:35:35 PM 357 Views
It's not specifically your theory. or a theory that you thought of first..... *NM* Isabel - 13/10/2010 04:32:48 PM 353 Views
Nobody said I thought of it first. Terez - 13/10/2010 04:36:45 PM 670 Views

It's the truth. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:29:56 PM 689 Views
Think of it this way, Emma... Terez - 13/10/2010 06:00:11 PM 798 Views

You could at least try not to contradict yourself. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:29:11 PM 661 Views
Me being childish? Isabel - 13/10/2010 06:52:24 PM 713 Views
Some more thoughts ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 05:03:58 PM 837 Views
I don't think it is necessary that Rand be a public figure as Elayne's husband. Terez - 12/10/2010 05:08:10 PM 714 Views
It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM 827 Views
On that particular point... Terez - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM 812 Views
That's reasonable speculation, I think ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 07:58:23 PM 737 Views
I don't know that Egwene's lack of recognition necessarily means anything... Terez - 12/10/2010 08:07:11 PM 646 Views
Yep, I agree ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 09:18:57 PM 726 Views
I'm not so sure the 'blood on the rocks' isn't a red herring any more. Terez - 13/10/2010 06:23:18 PM 1074 Views
By the way ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 10:07:49 PM 650 Views
But that is not the only prophecy of Rand's death. Terez - 12/10/2010 10:13:50 PM 652 Views
Just playing devil's advocate here ... Shishka - 12/10/2010 10:58:40 PM 806 Views
That raises an interesting question: Gher - 13/10/2010 04:01:17 PM 738 Views
Re: That raises an interesting question: Shishka - 13/10/2010 05:57:39 PM 768 Views
IIRC... Etzel - 12/10/2010 07:58:39 PM 848 Views
That is unfortunate. Terez - 12/10/2010 08:02:18 PM 749 Views
Switching bodies with Logain is mine. *NM* Tom - 13/10/2010 05:03:43 AM 380 Views
Are we doing that now? I call dibs on Be'laim. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:32:59 PM 800 Views
Body swap or Nynaeve heal seem the best bets to me. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:42:16 PM 726 Views
