Very interesting, but they wasted a lot of time on questions they knew would be RAFO.

If I could only ask ONE thing, my question would go something like this:
Readers have been waiting, in some cases since 1994, to know who killed Asmodean. They have also been arguing and questioning, since roughly 1996, where Demandred was hiding and who he was hiding as. They have also been waiting since 1994 to find out what happened to Moiraine and Lanfear after they fell through the ter'angreal. NONE of these points were addressed in the first book of three that you have written, which is disappointing because fans would have loved an answer to just one of them. Having said that, please either do one of the following:
1. Cross off one of the following three people as Asmodean's killer and tell is it was not that person: Lanfear, Graendal, Slayer
OR
2. Tell us - was Asmodean killed by balefire?

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Thanks! I hadn't made the connection between Rand's paranoya and the dagger wound. *NM*

I tried to suggest that Elaida had been corrupted by Fain and I was practically ridiculed

Thank you.... I have a feeling that we haven't see the last of Elaida after Brandon's recent comment

Yeah, good work... I tried to find that thread but I couldn't... it must have been on wotmania *NM*

He seems to indicate that RAFO doesn't necessarily mean we'll ever get an answer, though.

I like the Padan Fain questions. Also, Lanfear / Cyndane discussion was exciting.

I'm convinced Moiraine's going to enjoy a Gandalf effect with her strength...

I'm not going to argue the theory, but, Moiraine won't give a crap about deference after her ordeal. *NM*

Moiraine has always been somewhat of a rebel, and what you say is sort of in agreement

This would be... funny. And Mat already said he'd probably save Lanfear

If stilling is Healed, you come back at about 1/3rd of your former strength...

Not ot mention, that's only if you're healed by someone of the same gender. *NM*

I don't think is beyond the realm of possibility, but did Lanfear actually have any wishes left?

Maybe that's what they meant by all of those "Interventions" they wanted me to attend...
