...the walls around the grounds, and the big black stone Taim made his announcements from.
The palace is white marble (with black columns, IRRC).
Terez who asked Sanderson said he was on his guard a bit, wanting to know first why/because of what theory she asked that question (ie: it had the "could have missed anything in the books that would make it better to RAFO this?" feel).
In other words, it's probably no more than "interesting minutia". If it played any real role in AMOL, Brandon would have RAFOed this.
You're probably correct. But it would be ironic if the wall had some sinister purpose since Logain at least thought that building it was a waste of time. And he was right, the BT really doesn't need a wall. Unless it's a magical wall made out of SG stones, that is..
But yeah, BS would've RAFOed it if it was important.
So apparently the palace at the Black Tower is made of Shayol Ghul stone...

Maybe Shaidar Haran's physical limitation to SG can be bypassed by moving tainted rocks elsewhere? *NM*

That is good logic, but the flip side is: Why would RJ bother to specify that if it were minutiae?

Wouldn't have taken any time away from creating the ending.

It just seems an odd thing to mention purely as background color.

Yeah, my bet is it is something more like that.

His response certainly seem to raise more questions than it answers, perhaps deliberately.

Forgive me if I missed it, but I think the most obvious points haven't been discussed:

Be'laim FTW, but technically half the Andoran nobility is Rands blood.
