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

Not that access SG via T'A'R or some such isn't important, but two things jumped out at me immediately upon reading this.
1) "His blood on the rocks of SG"
Well, we've all assumed that would happen AT SG, but now, it may not. Of course, "his blood" may not be literal, and could refer to his bloodline (Elayne's babies, Galad, or even Luc), but the blood being shed to free the world from the DO could happen in Caemlyn.
2) Taim's status.
Feed the Taim/Moridin fires somewhat more, doesn't it? I mean, bringing SG rock into the BT for just some 3rd Age DF seems a bit extravagant, doesn't it? Maybe there is some property to it that makes it necessary, perhaps its a part of the "key" to the dreamspike now in use? But still, the fact that Moridin's palace is also made of Black seems to jump right out at me.
Of course, we now know that the term "palace" was used a bit loosely. But still, I think Taim must either be Moridin, or his proxy.

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.

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

The way RJ played up everything in the Blight (especially Shayol Ghul) being subsumed in the DO...
