On that particular point... Terez Send a noteboard - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM
I think it most likely he will live as a recluse for less than a century in the Two Rivers, until Tam and Min die. Min is the only one of this three women who will have a normal lifespan. After that, I think it most likely he will go to live in the Waste with Aviendha. There will be some Wise Ones there who know his secret, but being Aiel, they will be more likely to keep the secret of his identity, and he would not have to live as a recluse there at all. But while he lives with Min in the Two Rivers, he could easily hide in the Westwood - he might even be able to use wards to prevent unwanted visitors - and he could visit all of his friends via gateway. This fits with the versions of the Arthurian legends where Arthur is sometimes seen in the forest after his death (I cannot find a reference for it at the moment but I know I have read that before).

After that century or so, the only people alive who will recognize him are channelers and Ogier, and as I said, I think the Waste will probably be the best option for him to avoid the channelers who are not in the know. He could easily visit Elayne and his children via gateway at any time.

I have been thinking that the reason Min gets to spend so much time with him as compared to Elayne and Aviendha is that Min's lifespan will be normal. When Min dies, the others will all still be in the prime of their youth. It will be hard on Min, growing old while Rand stays young, but I bet Rand will love her anyway.

I just don't see that as Nynaeve's "area of expertise" - 13/10/2010 10:09:39 PM 706 Views
Nynaeve was the one who witnessed the weave, not Egwene. - 14/10/2010 12:38:14 AM 688 Views

There's also the "ripped from TAR after death" theory, ala Birgitte (re how Rand lives again). - 12/10/2010 04:37:26 PM 766 Views
That be my theory - 12/10/2010 04:45:55 PM 789 Views
and from all other people - 12/10/2010 05:33:45 PM 886 Views
And your point is? *NM* - 12/10/2010 05:35:35 PM 338 Views
It's not specifically your theory. or a theory that you thought of first..... *NM* - 13/10/2010 04:32:48 PM 329 Views
Nobody said I thought of it first. - 13/10/2010 04:36:45 PM 621 Views

It's the truth. - 13/10/2010 06:29:56 PM 635 Views
Think of it this way, Emma... - 13/10/2010 06:00:11 PM 731 Views

You could at least try not to contradict yourself. - 13/10/2010 06:29:11 PM 606 Views
Me being childish? - 13/10/2010 06:52:24 PM 663 Views
Some more thoughts ... - 12/10/2010 05:03:58 PM 782 Views
I don't think it is necessary that Rand be a public figure as Elayne's husband. - 12/10/2010 05:08:10 PM 665 Views
It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM 771 Views
On that particular point... - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM 767 Views
That's reasonable speculation, I think ... - 12/10/2010 07:58:23 PM 684 Views
I don't know that Egwene's lack of recognition necessarily means anything... - 12/10/2010 08:07:11 PM 601 Views
Yep, I agree ... - 12/10/2010 09:18:57 PM 707 Views
By the way ... - 12/10/2010 10:07:49 PM 601 Views
But that is not the only prophecy of Rand's death. - 12/10/2010 10:13:50 PM 604 Views
Just playing devil's advocate here ... - 12/10/2010 10:58:40 PM 760 Views
That raises an interesting question: - 13/10/2010 04:01:17 PM 689 Views

Switching bodies with Logain is mine. *NM* - 13/10/2010 05:03:43 AM 359 Views
Are we doing that now? I call dibs on Be'laim. - 14/10/2010 04:32:59 PM 744 Views
Body swap or Nynaeve heal seem the best bets to me. - 14/10/2010 04:42:16 PM 678 Views
