I'm going with pretty damn crazy darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 05/01/2016 04:47:19 PM

View original post
Journeying to Tear to get Callandor, Rand is pretty paranoid, such as when he kills a woman and her guards without any proof that they were Darkfriends. Later in Tear and the Waste, he's seemingly acting normal again. Then the voice of Lews Therin comes, and the obsessive list about dead women. In TWH, saidin is cleansed, so that should have put an end to the development of his condition. Then again, his refusal to allow anyone hurt Semirhage (and rationalizing it as the last remnant of good in him) in TGS is pretty f***ed up.

Not really an unsolved mystery, but what do you think? How much was he affected by the taint, and where did it really show? Or was he completely sane?


Nynaeve's assessment of how large the mass of taint on his brain was seems to indicate that he was pretty far along. Granted he was able to hold off some/most of the effects, but it clearly was leaking over to him too.

I would agree on that. Cannoli - 23/12/2015 11:19:44 AM 1405 Views
Alviarin seems the most likely culprit for Sarha darius_sedai - 23/12/2015 06:07:16 PM 1468 Views

I think it was Demandred. Verin gave the hint in KOD actually. Mik - 04/03/2016 09:59:36 PM 1844 Views

What Logain quote are you referencing? *NM* darius_sedai - 11/01/2016 06:07:57 PM 597 Views
Logain stated that Rand is stronger than him because he makes larger Gateways *NM* kHz1000 - 11/01/2016 06:24:34 PM 595 Views

Just because Randland is Deist does not make it deity-free. Joel - 14/02/2016 01:59:58 PM 1302 Views
It is better to say there is no organized religion fionwe1987 - 14/02/2016 10:12:35 PM 1119 Views
That sounds about right Joel - 15/02/2016 11:21:42 AM 1096 Views
Perhaps, but perhaps not darius_sedai - 16/02/2016 01:26:46 AM 1077 Views
