Why hasnt the DO broken all the seals in the time that he has had? <br><br>As far as I can tell he either hasnt tried or hasnt had a chance to break them. Being made from cuendillar they are suppossedly imposible to break, but some have been broken w...

Where does mat's luck come from? <br><br>The first time we see Mat's winning streak is in Tar Valon when he sneaks out of the tower after being healed from his ordeal with the ruby hilted dagger(TDR). He goes gambling and wins EVERY SINGLE toss of th...

I believe they are both one and the same... here is why. <br><br>We constantly read of how the creator bound the dark one, with the pattern (picture the darkone surrounded by the patterns many layers, unable to leave. <br><br>In the begining the Crea...

I've been considering the motivations of Taim, i.e. whether he is a dark friend or just a self motivated power hungry opportunist. So I was re-reading the series and I came to the point where Rand proclaims himself the Dragon Reborn - which leads to ...

We know that Ter'Angreal exist in T'A'R. Callandor is seen by numerous people in T'A'R. Including Egwene (TDR Chapter 27). And the Bowl of the Winds is seen as well by Nynaeve and Elayne (LoC Chapter 13). Interestingly enough they also discover an an...

There has been much discussion regarding whether the creator has another form of power to balance the True Power (TP). I believe the One Power (OP) is the balancing force to the TP. <br><br>To begin this discussion, I think it is important to define...

The legend of the Golem tells of the creation of a "shapeless man" who was brought to life by combining the 4 elements (water, earth, fire, air) and then breathing vitality into it. This, of course, reminds us of the 5 powers (vitality=spirit). No ...

In COT we learn that Masema wants others to believe that Masema died and was reborn as The Prophet of the Lord Dragon Reborn. Now lets look at some other facts. <br><br>Masema has had definate dealings with Suroth, a known darkfriend. Perrin cannot ...

My theory is that even should Rand fail and the seals are broken and the shadow holds sway it will still be centuries if not millenia before he eventually breaks free from his prison. <br><br>My line of thinking on this is that after the bore was dri...

Okay, in TEOTW, Min mentions that she sees viewings around "women like her"--Aes Sedai--and "men like him"--Warders. At first it was all simple. Aes Sedai were the only people who could channel, end of story. <br><br>But now, there's the Asha'man, Wi...

<br>Ok.... I know my theories have a way of disappearing before I ever see them posted, but I just thought I'd throw another one in anyhow... <br><br>At the outset of the series (late EoTw till TSR) the Whitecloaks surround Tar Valon, and attempt to ...

One of the "little" puzzling things in WOT has been the question of why did blue flashes of light occur in tEotW when Thom faces up to the Myrddraal. However, on my third reread through the series I think I finally have the answer! I looked in the ...

Hope I'm not stating the obvious or repeating someone else's theory here.. <br><br>At the end of COT we are left with two cliff hangers. The first is the capture of Egwene. The second is said to Rand: <br><br>"The Seanchan are amenable," Bashere repl...

As we all know, Rand is Lews Therin Reborn. Furthermore, we know that Rand hears Lews Therin's voice in his head. I postulate that This voice is neither a hallucination, nor as some have suggested, is it the case that there are two souls or some su...

It is said in the books countless time that the DO is trapped outside of the pattern. <br><br>My theory is that the Creator included some kind of non-intervention clause in the ‘base code' of the pattern (along with saidin and saidar, rebirth, ta've...

This is a big theory...I hope you guys don't pick it to too many pieces, as it took a while. There are some quotes I know exist, but due to my books being in storage, I can't exactly get them out – if anyone can help me by sending them into this thre...

Okay, I don't have any solid proof for this theory, just that it has been a favourite of mine ever since reading the first book. <br><br>In TEotW, Morraine when she questioned Fain came back and said "There is much yet hidden about Padan Fain, much I...

I'm writing this in kind of an agreement\tribute to dragonsceptor's physics explanation of the types of power. I hope it's clear... <br><br>We are always told about how channelers have different strengths(this is about the overall, not in certain are...

In the BWB, we are told that AS of the AoL found a "Thinness in the pattern" at Shayol Ghul. <br><br>Now, if the Pattern is woven of the threads of lives, then how can there even be a thinness? And even if there is a thinness, wouldn't that exist in...

This Theory is going to try to prove that Mat is actually King Aemon al Caar al Thorin reborn. Probably the biggest reason people will vote against his theory is the reasoning the reasoning that Aemon didn't do enough to be tied to the Horn as a Hero...
