Re: So apparently the palace at the Black Tower is made of Shayol Ghul stone...

I'm actually surprised I haven't seen this on here yet. A little while back, somebody on Dragonmount asked B Sand if the palace at the Black Tower was made out of stone from Shayol Ghul, and for some insane reason he answered the question with something other than a RAFO. As it turns out, it looks like we could have some pretty crazy alternate "his blood on the rocks of Shayol Ghul" theories coming out of this...
Wasn't the question actually about Taim's palace, and not specifically about the palace at the Black Tower? So maybe he has a secret one somewhere. Or maybe Taim is really Moridin, and the palace in the Blight is his.
It was about the palace at the Black Tower. Terez meant to ask specifically about Taim's podium and the walls (made of the same rock as the palace's columns, it seems) but she had to have someone else ask it at a Q&A and kept it simpler.
Moridin's fortress near SG and the Towers of Midnight in Imfaral(Seanchan) seem built with the same rocks.
The palace at the BT is actually white marble and black stone.
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.
