I just read an interesting reference. Rand will stop if Elaida has the sense to stop (to that effect). This is due to a nightmare Rand has where he leads the Asha'man against the tower only to watch them die one by one. He is also surrounded by all t...

This theory is not dependent on POD, but valid even given what has happened. In the Eye of the World (yes, I have been rereading them for the 20th or so time) Rand has a dream, quite early on. In it he is in Tar Valon, but obviously trying to avoid g...

I feel that the meaning of the title, "A Path of Daggers" has to do with the two reincarnated Forsaken, the Arangar and Osangar. The book will focus on their efforts to undermine the good guys in various ways. This will take them to many places and w...

To my mind, The Path of Daggers is referring to the Seanchan. I mean, what was that little saying of theirs, "on the heights, the paths are paved with daggers"? Maybe that's not exactly how it goes, but it's close. I think that in Book 8, we'll final...

Regarding what the Path of Daggers... In the fourth book, not sure exactly where.... the Seanchan Captain mentions the road leading to the Empress's Palace as the Path of daggers. I believe that this is the only reference to the path of daggers. And ...

Information taken from an online chat session with RJ. (Carol Fusinato's compilation from your links)> I recently read a comment by Robert Jordan in which he states that PoD is a metaphor and is NOT representative of any actual situation in the next ...

What is the path of daggers? Not sure of the exact page number, but in the third book (I think) High Lady Suroth is thinking to herself and remembers an old saying that goes something like "the paths to high placed are paved with daggers." Now I don'...

I believe "A Path of Daggers" may mean three separate things:" <br> <br>1) Mat and the Seanchan-- The primary focus of this book will Mat and his dealings with the Seanchan, who will find him in the ruins of Ebou Dar and take him aboard their one of ...

I like the thought that Nick brings up , and thanks for finally someone coming up with one, but it seems to me like it has to be something even bigger. A thought I had, does it have to do with some of the notes that only Verin has seen in regards to ...

She has been planning multiple ways to be in control of the Dragon reborn without him thinking she is in control This way she KNOWS what all is happening and can effect the outcome....

Maybe Verin is Black Ajah.Verin might possibly have lied. First she told egwene that she only used the dream ter'angreal once, I dought that a brown ajah could resist all the knowledge that she knows is in T'A'R. Second in The Great Hunt she tells Ra...

Just a little interesting note to bring up. Verin did something in one of the books(I can't rember which one) that she should not have been able to. She channeled inside an Ogier stedding!!! This happened just after an Ogier had been trapped in the w...

She is black Ajah. She was left behind to give Egwene the ring so The black ajah could be waiting in T A R, and they where, if you remember TDR. And in Moraine's death letter to Rand she warned him of Verin. As to if she channeled in a steading, it m...

This may be a long shot, but I think that Verin may be Corianne Sedai. First she is the only one who knows that the notes about the dream ter'angreal exist. Second it is said somewhere in the series, that a long time ago the oaths weren't required to...

I think that the key to Verin plans is that Aes sedai with the foretelling (Gitana moroso i think), that also set Siuan and moraine on their path. It's some time that i read the books, so i don't remeber the exact reference, but Verin mentions to hav...

Whatever Verin might have said in the second book, it seems very unlikely that she was lying for the Dark One. Why? Because in Book 2, Jordan wasn't even sure that the Black Ajah *could* lie. Re-reading the passages with Liandrin brow beating Amalthe...

Ok, I finally got around to looking it up. The stedding/channeling incident occurs in chapter 36 of The Great Hunt. Just forbackground, this is after Padan Fain has stolen the horn the second time and set machin shin to guarding the waygate at Carhei...

How long has it been since the Trolloc Wars? In the Illustrated Guide, it says that the Trolloc Wars started at about 1000 AB (After Breaking), and continued 350 years. After the Trolloc Wars, the FY (Free Year) calendar was developed. Ishamael becam...

I think we need to re-evaluate the last letter from Moraine to Rand. She says to be as suspicous of Verin as he is of Alviarin. Rand even wonders to himself, why her and not Elaida. Elaida he has not trust for. Alviarin he is suspicious of, but he be...

Not that I agree or Disagree with Verin being Corianne Sedai, But, If an excuse needs to be made for her or any other Aes Sedai that may still be around after even a 1000 years, there are plausible explanations. One, for instance, is that in The Grea...
