Well what good is perrin hmmmm. well for starters min's viewing said he'd have to save Rand's life twice but he's only done it once so far. he's still got his very own reborn kingdom of manetheran to run remember how it was said that manetheren was the thorn in the dark one's side. I think he's going to make it so once more he's already given him quite a whack in an ouchy spot by defeating his trolloc army to the man (just a figure of speach) and given Slayer a run for his money that's got to have the Dark one smarting and now that he's shown that he can deal wth trolloc army and a freak of nature the DO is going to want to send some more powerful guns his way. kinda a making manetheren stronger by forging its sword with blood type thing there.
