In rereading, I've come across a curious situation. The Dragon has been reborn, but what of his lost love? Ilyena, killed in his madness, is curiously unmentioned. Now, it is possible that she simply was not reborn, but given Lews Therin's mourning o...

<p>In Lord of Chaos, we are introduced to Mazrim Taim, an enigmatic character of dubious intentions who has defied every theory I've seen written about him. Mazrim Taim has been channeling for a long time. Sure, you can hold off the madness for awhil...

&lt;p&gt;My Theory is that Rand and other “good” forces will heal the pattern and imprison the Dark One by bringing Order back the Pattern. The Chaos caused by the DO, started with the drilling of the Bore. My theory is that Channeling is also possib...

<p>For this, we'll begin with some basic points which are known to be true, and stretch beyond into some murky waters. There are patterns that are odd, which suggest that things are not as they seem, and that the Last Battle may not truly be the end....

<p>Well, after reading quite a few theories on here, I figured I might try my hand at one. A friend of mine and I came up with it about a year ago, and while I have seen some fans already speculate upon it, during my theory readings here I did not ha...

Hey all, first-time theorist here with something I don't think I've seen here before except mentioned in passing in a few comments. But there hasn't been any actual theory that I've seen. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; At any rate, there's a lot of speculati...

<P>There are many Theories on the Last Battle on this Forum, yet here is one I feel is very solid in its foundation and has a sense of RJ's poetic irony.</P> <P>During book 12 Rand announced to Moridin that he was going to "Kill the Dark One." Someth...

<P>I've read many of the theories here and elsewhere and cannot find an idea that has been nagging at me for some time. The majority of people seem to be focused on deciphering who Taim is or who Demandred is, or trying their hand at figuring out the...

<p>WARNING: THIS THEORY HAS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT.</p> <p>The Dark One, The Dragon, Moridin, and those who walk in the Shadow.</p> <p>What's really going on.</p> <p>Brace yourselves, this is not theory that pulls from 1 or 2 reference...

<p>WARNING: THIS THEORY HAS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT.</p> <p>When I read the Nakomi scene, Verin came to mind immediately. I still read it skeptically, but it was like every time she spoke, I was more convinced it was Verin. I am pretty ...

<p>In <i>Winter's Heart</i>, Chapter 13: Wonderful News, following a very amusing exchange regarding the pillow-friends Lady Ailil and Windfinder Shalon, Jahar Narishma arrives at Cadusane's room in the Sun Palace with the announcement that Alanna ha...

yeah,the title speaks for itself..metaphorically..right? i am going to prove my hypothesis with just two quotations. so,let's start. 1.in the dragon reborn,verin says that there are three constants in all the worlds. one,the creator.two,the dark one...

<p>On my last read through of WOT (a while ago--it was in prep for TGS), I ran across a section from The Dragon Reborn that for some reason, I found troubling. It comes in the chapter "A World of Dreams," (in the paperback version I have, the section...

This is my first theory here on theoryland, and in fact, my first theory ever. I always read the books with enjoyment and just take what happens and await for the next book. I've been reading this for years, not really knowing anyone who had read th...

Cuendillar. [quote][B]The World of RJ's The Wheel of Time, pg. 46.[/B] The discs themselves are ter'angreal made of cuendillar, or "heartstone," designed to absorb any force used against it, including the One Power, and become stronger from the assa...

&lt;b&gt;Understanding the nature of Tarmon Gaidon requires an understanding of the nature of the Pattern and the Dark One.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;After re-reading the series to date with a full knowledge of what would come next I've had a lot of time t...

Rand's job in the Third Age is to set right the imbalances of the Second Age, resetting the status of the Wheel so that it can turn; when it returns to the Second Age, the world must be in its original form. The Bore, sealed in the Second Age by Lews...

<p>Okay, this one is a loony theory, but it came to me literally as I woke up this morning. I will clarify/specify my sources later, as I cannot currently access my book, but I think that I can recall specifics closely enough to get this off the grou...

<p> This may seem rather pointless now, knowing what we do from <em>Towers of Midnight</em>, but I think it worthwhile enough to bear out explicating the theory, seeing it is something I have never seen remarked upon anywhere else. I may be wrong, or...
