I am about to let you all know one of many little secrets I have uncovered about Robert Jordan's writing style in his books. I base my theory on something that Moiraine said to Egwene, Elayne, and Nynaeve in Tear. "Days ago I could have asked what Ra...

Alanna told Verin that she bonded Rand to keep him from running around, but I think that it was in order to control him. After all, they did try to shield him after she bonded him. Also, after Ewegene bonded Birgitte, Birgitte went drinking with Mat ...

Arent we forgetting something here, like the point that Rand is a realy strong TaVeren. More than strong enough to make people act oddly, like to bond the Dragon Reborn. By the way a warder bond and a adam is very different. Same kind of magic but st...

Maybe Allana will go mad in the place of Rand. This could explain her elevated lack of emotional control. She was still good at hiding her feelings conserning the daeth of her warder before the bonding took place. I also agree that she was probably s...

With regards to Allana bonding Rand I think that she panicked when she did that, and when Perrin rescues Moraine from that tower in the world of dreams she is going to come back, slap her upside the head and demand the transfer of the bond. I bet Ran...

Concerning Rand's bond. If I remember correctly, when the group of Aes Sedai get together to discuss this, Alanna mentioned that she had tried using compulsion on Rand through the bond and it didn't work. There was some speculation as to whether this...

If I remember correctly, at some point, two Forsaken meet,and one (the male of the two, I think) firmly holds onto saidin "Because compulsion can't work if someone is channeling." I'm not sure about this, because when Nynaeve beats Moghedien the firs...

The bond. i think the bond was so that alanna could have some control of rand. but i think that rand being ta'veran pulled her to do it. he pulls what he needs. if he was not bonded to alanna then the greyman probly would have killed him. the greyman...

I have no proof of this, other than her meek and mild way of going about things. Her character has had no importance since her bonding. I think that, she will be exposed as a darkfriend and killed....the twist? Rand can't do it. Also, as a result of ...

As someone else has already stated I have to believe that the bond is a result of Rand being taveren. When Rand was Captured by the White Tower Aes Sedai it was the bond that led Alanna to find Rand in the wilderness between Cairhein and Tar Valon. Y...

In LOC, Semirage wondered about the bond between the Warder and Aes Sedai during the torture. I don't believe that Alanna is a Darkfriend. First, see seems almost caring at the end of LOC when she asks Rand how he can bear the pain from the wound in ...

I haven't been here for some time, so Id just like to say hello to everyone. Now, the theory. I have been thinking about the bond between Rand and Allana. I believe that the bond will be broken, leaving him much like Lan. This way he will be able to ...

Given that we know little about how the bonding works and that Rand's being able to channel is an unknown element in this bond, maybe the bond will backfire on Alanna. Since both parties can channel, the bond may make each of them warders for each ot...

Why Alanna bonded Rand is the same reason she went to Emonds Field - to see what she could do for Egwene to repay her debt to her over the ter'angreal affair. <br> <br>In TDR, Siuan says that Arafellin have a strange system of debt and honour. <br>...

I think that Verin did not use Compulsion on Alanna for a few reasons. <br> <br>1.) Right after Alanna bonded Rand the beginning of the next chapter was in Verins point of view. On pg. 210 Verin asks Alanna why she bonded Rand. "While you are thinki...

Just a quick note on Fel. There is much discussion about the sealing. Now Fel said that each time the Wheel turns the DO's prison must be whole. He did not say patched. As the Bore was drilled by Lanfear etc. in the Age before this one it was imperfe...
