The reply about Rand's sword was frustrating, too, since it seems to conflict with what others have reported, "it's a logical conclusion that it is Justice". (From TMJ's report) That doesn't necessarily say it is Justice, but it sure is a misleading reply, at the very least.


Others reported the same in other words, that Brandon had said he found the speculation about it being Justice a valid theory.

People who are convinced it is Justice are putting words in his mouth since the book came out. It's become "he has all but confirmed it" when not flatty "he has confirmed it".

Actually, he has said much the same thing way about people who have LTT's sword theories.

He had done much the same thing last summer at the Q&A I attended. People said Mat and Perrin would meet in TGS and he answered the same way as he does for the sword, something along the lines of "I'll just say it's a logical assumption, they are fairly close to one another, and Galad is too, by the end of KOD".

By the time the book came out, people were swearing Brandon had said at that and other signings that Perrin and Mat meet in TGS. We know what happened to that "logical theory". BS is very much a non-spoiler sort of guy, but he said he likes to squatch the too far fetched theories more than RJ did.

He doesn't intend to reveal the origin of the sword before we RAFO.

Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! Etzel - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM 1041 Views
Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 948 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3095 Views
Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 06:02:26 PM 1621 Views

I asked Brandon to clarify last night in Pasadena about Cyndane rhiane - 18/11/2009 05:22:14 PM 784 Views
Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:42:51 PM 771 Views
That means, though Etzel - 18/11/2009 05:48:15 PM 714 Views
I've started a new thread, giving the new, DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list. Yay!!! *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:58:03 PM 401 Views
Re: Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... rhiane - 18/11/2009 09:27:06 PM 899 Views

I apparently have to Log In to read this. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:33:03 PM 910 Views
You don't need the email confirmation! Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:36:40 PM 886 Views
Hm. I could have sworn I saw something about an email confirmation. Thanks. *NM* Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:38:14 PM 405 Views
Naw how about you quote it for us in a new post *NM* Lord o' Salv - 18/11/2009 12:18:52 AM 457 Views
The strength comparisons don't make sense... Shannow - 17/11/2009 06:26:05 PM 952 Views
Re: The strength comparisons don't make sense... Lordling - 17/11/2009 06:55:39 PM 771 Views
BS also says in this context... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:05:25 PM 757 Views
If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 818 Views
I don't think... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 662 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1177 Views
Difficult... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 851 Views
Pahus! Yeah, you´re correct *NM* Lordling - 17/11/2009 07:59:49 PM 404 Views
Re: The strength comparisons don't make sense... Kaldric - 17/11/2009 07:22:38 PM 950 Views
I think he mis-spoke just a bit VTHokie - 17/11/2009 07:37:24 PM 661 Views
He wasn/t 100% sure of Semirhage... *NM* Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:44:11 PM 400 Views

Talaan and Someryn are pure guesses from Dom... Shannow - 17/11/2009 10:06:56 PM 840 Views
Elayne at the beginning of PoD thinks Talaan is at least as great as Nyn NaClH2O - 18/11/2009 12:23:31 AM 706 Views

It almost has to be Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 724 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 497 Views
But here's the thing.... Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 746 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 890 Views
I was just making argument Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 11:05:18 PM 760 Views
Guaire Amalasan! Legolas - 18/11/2009 12:50:09 AM 781 Views
Maybe Hawkwing took Justice from Amalasan after the Battle of the Jolvaine Pass? Werthead - 18/11/2009 02:09:03 AM 851 Views
That was the crazy part - I named him as one of LitN's "other channelers producing weapons". Legolas - 18/11/2009 02:17:25 AM 686 Views
Re: Guaire Amalasan! Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:18:37 AM 811 Views
And I appreciate your arguments! Matrimony Cauthon - 18/11/2009 08:49:55 AM 731 Views
Perhaps it's a "Sword for the Ages" Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:26:00 AM 644 Views
Where does it say it was found in water? guttering flame - 18/11/2009 09:36:52 AM 603 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. Logain - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 824 Views
Who is the Aiel chick with all the one power strength? I forget who, but she is Shaido. *NM* Logain - 17/11/2009 11:34:42 PM 397 Views
Someryn *NM* kcf - 17/11/2009 11:38:42 PM 399 Views
One of the women stronger than Nynaeve is probably a Sharan Logain - 17/11/2009 11:53:12 PM 703 Views
don't read too much into this kcf - 18/11/2009 12:00:19 AM 674 Views
It could be true Logain - 18/11/2009 02:14:50 AM 723 Views

Cyndane's body guttering flame - 18/11/2009 06:22:45 AM 678 Views
