some guesses:
-People are able to use multiple angreal at once. Remember Rand using the CK and the little fat man at the same time? So will we see truly suped-up channelers exploiting multiple power enhancers at once? I'd like to call this "Pimp My Power."
-Taim's introduction in which Bashere doesn't recognize him. Taim's explanation - "I shaved" - is one of the most ludicrous moments in the series (close to Elayne's notion of romance - "You slept with those two, so it's my turn now."
-That "hanging city" that Rand and Asmodean saw as they chased the Shaido into Randland. As a potential source of tools and information, Rand really should've checked this out by now.
-The Dragonsworn spread awfully fast through a huge chunk of Randland. How? Why?
-Mazrim Taim had Gedwyn search for something after the battle. Mazrim and Gedwyn share a look and Gedwyn shakes his head, which makes Mazrim frown. What was that about? Could it be the little fat man angreal of Rand's? Dumai's Wells is the key point after which it can't be found.
-Herid Fel's murder. One of the Shadow's most elite assassins - power-proof, no less - is sent to kill an old man. Ishy/Moridin was a philosopher, and it seems that philosophy itself lead him to follow the Dark. How is pure philosophy so dangerous to the Dark One?
