Not bad. Recall the Dark Prophecy from Fal Dara - an ancient wrong is supposed to be righted

In the Glossary of ToM, The Towers of Midnight has a glossary entry, as follows:
A final fact about the Towers that is not mentioned is that Deain, creator of the a'dam, was imprisoned there, and her screams "shook the Towers of Midnight".
So, here is the theory: Tuon will "right that which is wrong" by ordering the release of the damane. As far as we know, the Towers of Midnight could be the spot where the first woman was leashed as damane, that woman being Deain. I don't think that she'll do it in aMoL, as we won't be seeing the Seanchan continent, apparently, but if the outriggers do happen, then perhaps this theory can come true then. With a slight bit of foreshadowing from the series.
Thoughts? Criticisms? Ideas?
Towers of Midnight, the: Thirteen fortresses of unpolished black marble located in Imfaral, Seanchan. At the time of Consolidation of Seanchan, it was the center of military might. The final battle of the Consolidation took place there, leaving Hawkwing's descendants in power. Since that time, it has been unoccupied. Legend has it that in time of dire need, the Imperial family will return to the Towers of Midnight and "right that which is wrong."

As I recall, the phrasing of the Prophecy was "the seed of the Hammer returns to right the ancient wrong." From that prophecy's perspective, perhaps the Seanchan came to the wetlands to be exposed to free channelers and learn a new way.
