Terez: Demandred mentions that the sleepweavers are used to train beginners in Tel'aran'rhiod. Can any channeler be trained to enter without a ter'angreal (eventually) or is a certain amount of Talent required?
Brandon: Not all channelers can be trained to enter, but one does not have to have nearly as much Talent as, say, Egwene.
Terez: Have all of the Forsaken been trained to do this or do some of them have to use gateways to get there?
Brandon: The Forsaken were Chosen specifically because of their Talents, but Brandon believes that some of them have to use gateways.
Terez: When you said some Forsaken are Dreamers, you meant they have prophetic dreams, right? Or are they just Dreamwalkers?
Brandon: They have prophetic dreams. (He says he believes there is one of each gender.)
Terez: If a dead Hero who can channel is called by the Horn, can they channel at the battle?
Brandon: Yes.
Terez: Why did the female Choedan Kal melt at the cleansing but not the male one?
Brandon: He believes it is because the female sa'angreal is weaker in the same way that women are generally weaker, but he said he was way out on a limb with that answer.
Terez: Is the weave used in the shawl testing a form of Compulsion?
Brandon: They are definitely cousins.
Terez: Do you know what the original use for the testing ter'angreal was?
Brandon: The notes do. (He'd have to look it up.)
Terez: How much time passed between Verin's meeting with Mat and her death?
Brandon: (I don't remember what he said aside from talking about a timeline error which has to do with Mat seeing the clouds break in Caemlyn.)
Terez: Does Shaidar Haran channel the True Power? Can he teach weaves?
Brandon: RAFO.
Terez: What exactly did Graendal see when Aran'gar put Compulsion on Ramshalan?
Brandon: She didn't see anything - this was just her perception of what was happening. Maria flagged this passage in the revisions, but Brandon decided it was clear enough.
Terez: Did Alviarin kill Carlinya?
Brandon: RAFO.
Terez: What did Cadsuane use to blackmail Flinn, Narishma, and Manfor?
Brandon: He doesn't know. He has wondered before but he has never remembered to look it up.
Terez: Will we learn about the information exchange between Graendal and Mesaana?
Brandon: Considering what happened to Mesaana, probably not in the books - but we might be able to wheedle it out of him after AMOL.
Terez: Have Egwene's dreams concerning Gawyn all been fulfilled?
Brandon: The one with the forked road has been fulfilled.
Terez: Is the area of a dreamspike adjustable?
Brandon: Yes.
Terez: Has Moridin/Ishamael been collecting 'angreal for 3500 years or only recently?
Brandon: Less collecting and more 'keeping tabs on'. (He sort of avoided the question, but I didn't press him on it.)
Terez: Will we ever learn what went wrong when Narishma went to fetch Callandor?
Brandon: After some conversation about how I have been phrasing these questions, I believe he said RAFO.
Terez: Is the sky clear above Alanna or only the harem? (Brandon refused to say 'harem' and said 'the three' before I cut him off with my uproarious laughter.)
Brandon: RAFO on Alanna because she still has an interesting part to play.
Terez: Will we learn anything else about the Black Ajah oaths?
Brandon: There is a good chance that will make it into the encyclopedia.
Terez: When did Lan first become a blademaster?
Brandon: Some time between New Spring and TEOTW.
Terez: Will the fat man turn up again?
Brandon: I have a certain fondness for the fat man angreal.
Terez: Who killed Barthanes?
Brandon: RAFO.
Terez: Who killed Sahra Covenry?
Brandon: Alviarin.
Terez: Who ordered the attack on Demira Eriff in LOC?
Brandon: RAFO.
Terez: Was Moridin in his own dream when Rand visited him in TGS? If so, did he pull the boys into his own dreams in TEOTW, or did he invade and control theirs?
Brandon: In TGS, Moridin was in his own dream - or, he believes he was, and he is usually right about these things (whatever that means) - but in TEOTW, he was controlling all three boys' dreams at once, which Brandon says is easier to do from the outside, even though it is more difficult to control someone else's dreams in general (Moridin is obviously Talented, but that is my own assumption based on what he said - more detail later of course).
Terez: Can Shayol Ghul be reached in Tel'aran'rhiod?
Brandon: RAFO.
Terez: What happened to the twelve Aes Sedai Siuan sent to recapture Taim? Their troops?
Brandon: That's a really good question. RAFO. (His excitement at this question led me to believe that they were indeed the ones with the Borderlanders.)
Terez: When Perrin and Egwene saw Rand in Tel'aran'rhiod in TDR, had he been pulled there by someone?
Brandon: Brandon says no. I can't wait to get the audio for this question in particular, because he said some really interesting things here about Rand.
Terez: Does Mashadar eat the memories of people it kills?
Brandon: He says he believes that it does.
Terez: Does one typically (emphasized in the list he was reading) have to visit Shayol Ghul to be granted permission to use the True Power?
Brandon: Yes. I know what you're fishing for here. (I said I didn't expect to slip it past him.)
Terez: There seems to be a difference between Ishamael's big black cord and the wires which represent the protection from the taint. Is that intentional?
Brandon: He thinks it was intentional.
Terez: How does Demandred compare in strength to Moridin and Aginor? Sammael?
Brandon: I'd have to have the list in front of me. I need to post it because everyone wants to know.
Terez: If Taim already knew how to ignore heat, why did he shave his beard?
Brandon: I have no idea.
