Q: You have been killing my theories left and right since I got here.
A: I have always thought that the small whimper of a theory as it dies is a beautiful sound.(General laughter all around)
Q: Ouch...Okay, now that you have killed my black cord theory, are the oath and covenants Forsaken make with the DO necessary for the DO to transmigrate a soul?
A: They are not necessary, but he is not likely to do it for anyone who hasn't done, who hasn't sworn to him.
Q: The Dark One doesn't have access to all souls to be able to grab any soul?
A: No, no, no. Because of the Bore and the fact that the bore is best perceived, the bore doesn't really exist in Shayol Ghul, the Bore exists everywhere, its simply in Shayol Ghul where it can be perceived most easily. By the same token he has greater access to people at Shayol Ghul than he does elsewhere, or did, and uh, that's, when you know, Rahvin died, Rahvin is balefired out of time, slain out of time, cannot be reached, gone. Be'lal, (names someone else)...,
Q: Well, then is there something unique about the Forsaken other than the fact that they are his favorites that he would transmigrate them, or be able to?
A: Well, he would have been a lot less likely to in an earlier time when they were a lot of powerful...knowledgeable channelers who were in his service. Essentially half the people in the world who could channel were on his side, during the War of the Shadow. Now he has very few, he's got the Black Ajah, and a few wilders, and some stuff I ain't going in to, but uh he doesn't have a lot, but he can't afford to waste assets.
Q: Have you started writing the next book already?
A: In a sort of desultory way, working, the week after I handed in the final manuscript, and sent it off to New York, I started working half day here, three quarter day there, a half day again...
Q: Well, I am hoping for that fifteen hundred page book...
A: It may be [...] I am not saying it will be that big [...] and I will fight them doing a George R.R Martin on me. (splitting book into 2)
Q: Yeah, where's your hat, your little, in your picture, I was really looking forward to seeing the hat.
A: I didn't bring the black one this time, I brought a brown one. I thought it might get rained on a lot...
Q: The Finns reside in a Parallel world, is that correct? Okay, so are Parallel worlds and Mirror worlds the same thing? Okay, well then do Parallel Worlds have their own reflections?
A: Yes they reside in a parallel world. No, parallel worlds are different from mirror worlds. Parallel worlds can possibly have their own reflection.
Q: Did Lanfear get the opportunity to ask the finns, to make a wish, after going through the doorway with Moiraine?
A: rafo
Q: Okay, well, then did Moiraine get the opportunity to make a wish?
A: rafo
