It is quite clear that almost every human character who is not a channeler that experiences battle uses the sword. The sword has an important part in the Wheel of time world. So I wonder about Thom's notable lack of interest in swords, instead opting...

Here is a thought i just had. What if Birgette's memories go farther back than she has said. What first got me thinking about this is one short half-sentance. Birgette says something along the lines of 'I remember hearing about a female warder'. Now ...

In Winter's Heart, we learn that Cyndane is most likely Lanfear, transmigrated into a new body after dying (Ch. 35, “With the Choedan Kal”). We also note from this chapter, and PoD (Ch. 12, “New Alliances”)and WH (Ch. 13, “Wonderful News”) that Cynd...

Ok, this is my first theory, and I don't know if this has been suggested before. Well, here I go. <br><br>The wheel of time is constantly turning, constantly bring new dragons along. I am suggesting that perhaps the Dark One is embedded in the Patte...

This is my first so I hope this has not been said already but what if all the ghosts are not part of some diabolical scheme of The Dark One or Moridin but just a by product of Mashadar being destroyed and thus irrelevant to the story and future, a l...

"Sharina raised one finger, then a moment later, a second.(...)Nicola went pale and let go of her weaves on the instant, leaping up so quickly that she joggled the bench(...)Scowling blue-eyed daggers at everyone in sight, Areina ran out of the tent ...

Theres actually a chance that there is no need for the Last Battle if my theory is correct: <br><br>We know that balefire not only removes the thread from the Pattern, but also undoes the actions of that individual up to a certain time period (depen...

I know authors often take ideas from each other in their stories...but I read both Frank Herbert DUNE and the Wheel of Time and I can't help it but see a lot of similarities. I could be just picking bones here, but it seems like RJ took quite a few i...

The foraken, are called chosen by each other and darkfriends. But why would they be called the chosen, as opposed to anything else? I think that they are called the chosen for one simple reason. They were chosen to turn LTT against his will, to the s...

After reading CoT i came and read these, but i dont agree with any of them. I personally think that it was an accident. I mean, why not have Aes Sedai on the walls to help guard along with the soldiers. The soldiers cant protect against channeling....

I know it's been brought up before, but I'm a newbie, so please bear with me. <br><br>I've been thinking about the relation between the old Fisher King story and the WOT. In the Fisher King, it was necessary for the King to have the Sword, the Crown,...

Padan Fain now exists outside of the Pattern, but can't he still be hurt? And if so, would killing the Dark One, and the Creator be as easy as walking up and stabbing them? We know that something outside the pattern can be embodied, else Fain wouldn'...

I think that the DO is starting to put a shield over the whole of the saidar and saidin, but starting with saidar.(this also explains saidar failing) But, IMO the different worlds are all seperated by the One Power. <br><br>The DO is making a huge ...

Let picture it this way: the OP is a great ocean. Men draw on it in such a way that they pull off the surface, while women draw off the bottom. The backblast occurs, spitting the TP stuff onto the OP ocean. Only the men are affected because it floats...

I believe that the Tinkers' song(s) exist. This passage refers to actual 'seed songs' that the Daishain Aiel sing. <br><br>"Coumin could hear the seed singing around the other fields, hear the women clapping to urge the men on, their rhythm the hear...

Okay, here is what I think that he is going to do. <br><br>First of all, he will lead the taraboners back into Tarabon to join the Seanchan army. The taraboners will probably be separated into lots of different companies, so there could be more dama...

<b>The Old Evidence</b> <br><br>This is evidence that is blatantly laid out in the text, for example, in WH, Vandene has taken charge of Zarya and Kirstian - the two 'over-aged novices' (WH, p. 195). She pulls Elayne aside to tell her that Kirstian a...

Again with me I am not putting forward a theory but rather constructing 1 and asking the opinion of others. :) <br><br>I was wondering if anybody ever did come to any conclusion about the flashes of light that occured when Thom attacked the Fade in "...

“From time to time he idly stroked on of the two mindtraps that hung on plain silken cords around his neck. At his touch , the blood-red crystal of the cour'souvra pulse, swirls moving in endless depths like the beating of a heart. His real attenti...

While rereading LOC, I noticed that Lews Therin rants and raves about friends betraying him when Perrin shows up. I know there is another one, but the quote I found actually came when Perrin left the room, after just seeing Rand the first time after ...
