Re: Not at all... Knightscape Send a noteboard - 13/11/2009 10:54:14 PM

Rand is ta'veren. He is tightly connected to the wheel. The wheel controls the actions of ta'veren. Rand's actions are what the pattern wants/needs to take place.

Nope. He can and does go against the Wheel. There is no way the Wheel wanted him to use the True Power, for example.


Did the wheel not want him to escape?
Did he in fact escape?


In this book, with the Darkness in Rand, his ta'veren nature itself was unbalanced. The land is one with the Dragon and all that.

So please don't tell me whatever he does, he is right. That is just not so.


Whatever he does is guided by the pattern.
All good things come to those who wait.

Who performs the worst atrocity in this book: Egwene or Rand? (A good Cannoli question) Matrimony Cauthon - 13/11/2009 06:22:50 PM 2157 Views
Given the chance, Egwene would certainly have chosen death herself had she been captured Lordling - 13/11/2009 07:04:02 PM 882 Views
That doesn't make her right, it makes her a coward *NM* Cannoli - 13/11/2009 11:53:50 PM 505 Views
Your hatred and judgment of Egwene is obsessive and at times unreasonable. Like right now. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 14/11/2009 03:56:34 AM 469 Views
In this he his reasonable...I think he is mostly wrong with the statement, but it is reasonable *NM* RabidWombat - 14/11/2009 04:08:35 AM 354 Views
Wrong and unreasonable. krassos - 14/11/2009 11:07:16 PM 887 Views

Except for the fact that she never served the Dark One. She was Black Ajah in name only. krassos - 21/11/2009 04:16:48 PM 674 Views
Not true. Verin did in fact serve the DO. She admited as much darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:28:56 AM 701 Views
