Switching bodies with Logain is mine. *NM* Tom Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 05:03:43 AM
To Etzel: I was wondering if you have your 'Rand fakes his death' theory written up all proper with the new evidence from TGS. I'm trying to make a summary of the evidence for my theory, but I wanted to cover the other prevailing theories, and I figured you would be the best one to go to for this one. I was going to link to Luckers from DM for the body swap theory, unless you guys know of a better version of that theory. I don't think anyone on Theoryland has written it recently (so we have a lot of outdated theories). Luckers is probably best anyway since so many people are familiar with his version of it.

Also, do you know of any other theories about how the death prophecies will be fulfilled? Mine falls into the category of Nynaeve 'healing' his death. Some people speak up for some other random supernatural resurrection sometimes, but it seems that most people go for Nynaeve, the faked death, the body swap, or my pre-TGS theory that he would die and live on in Tel'aran'rhiod, perhaps to be called back by the Horn.

And for lack of anything better to do with this thread, it would be interesting to see where rafo people stand on it, so I made it a survey.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I just don't see that as Nynaeve's "area of expertise" - 13/10/2010 10:09:39 PM 791 Views
Nynaeve was the one who witnessed the weave, not Egwene. - 14/10/2010 12:38:14 AM 782 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 843 Views
That be my theory - 12/10/2010 04:45:55 PM 880 Views
and from all other people - 12/10/2010 05:33:45 PM 975 Views
And your point is? *NM* - 12/10/2010 05:35:35 PM 374 Views
It's not specifically your theory. or a theory that you thought of first..... *NM* - 13/10/2010 04:32:48 PM 366 Views
Nobody said I thought of it first. - 13/10/2010 04:36:45 PM 709 Views

It's the truth. - 13/10/2010 06:29:56 PM 727 Views
Think of it this way, Emma... - 13/10/2010 06:00:11 PM 835 Views

You could at least try not to contradict yourself. - 13/10/2010 06:29:11 PM 699 Views
Me being childish? - 13/10/2010 06:52:24 PM 745 Views
Some more thoughts ... - 12/10/2010 05:03:58 PM 891 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 749 Views
It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM 859 Views
On that particular point... - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM 846 Views
That's reasonable speculation, I think ... - 12/10/2010 07:58:23 PM 777 Views
I don't know that Egwene's lack of recognition necessarily means anything... - 12/10/2010 08:07:11 PM 686 Views
Yep, I agree ... - 12/10/2010 09:18:57 PM 768 Views
By the way ... - 12/10/2010 10:07:49 PM 687 Views
But that is not the only prophecy of Rand's death. - 12/10/2010 10:13:50 PM 686 Views
Just playing devil's advocate here ... - 12/10/2010 10:58:40 PM 844 Views
That raises an interesting question: - 13/10/2010 04:01:17 PM 769 Views

Are we doing that now? I call dibs on Be'laim. - 14/10/2010 04:32:59 PM 837 Views
Body swap or Nynaeve heal seem the best bets to me. - 14/10/2010 04:42:16 PM 764 Views
