Alright, here goes. I think that the Dark one may WANT to lose the last battle. This is not because of any desire to "keep the game going" but rather was spawned by Cadsuane's comments that Rands victory may be as dark as his defeat. Now things to co...

This is what i think the do's next big "project" is. I think that he is trying to starve the world. He is causing food to spoil at an alarming rate, and we have seen farmers complaining about crappy harvests. <br><br>If the DO continues at this rate,...

Has anyone considered WHY Ishamael has struggled so hard to turn Rand to the Darkside, why the Dark One wants Rand to be his champion? Starting in Book #1, Ishamael could have killed Rand, Mat and Perrin and been done with it. Why not just kill the...

Okay, bear with me for a moment while I try to explain how this works. <br><br>Imagine that each person's life is like a drop of water. It changes as time goes by. Sometimes we are alive (as water), then we die (evaporate), and are reborn (rain) eith...

Sorry about the length, but these things all kinda tie together... <br><br>After Demandred goes to Shayol Ghul he meets Semirhage and Mesanna and says: "When I think of where you two have placed yourselves, I wonder how much the Great Lord has known ...

I have been wonding what the plans of the dark one are and i decided to take a different approach to figuring it out. (always helps to try a new perspectave) I am going for what the dark one needs to do to win. <br><br>What wont work: <br><br>Killing...

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 ...

This is something thats been bugging me. Moridin ordered everyone to show up when rand started to cleanse the source but he himself was absent. If he showed up he could have obviously fried everyone with the TP before anyone knew he was there. <b...

Okay so here goes: I have been intrigued by theses three characters for quite some time. It mainly centers on Demandred, of all the Forsaken, he seems to be doing the best. He really hasn't meesed anything up for the DO and seems to have some well la...

I believe the goal of the Dark One is to get Rand to turn voluntarily to the Shadow. This is based on Moridin's sha'rah observations, and the repeated efforts of Lanfear and Ishamael to turn him. See Lanfear's comments in the Stone of Tear in Book 4 ...

When discussing the Dark One's reach I have not read much about the geographical boundaries of his threat but they seem to be implied through the lack of insight into how Shara in particular forsees the future and how it interprets and deals with the...

When Lews Therin's seals were new, the Dark One had zero influence in the world. When all seven are broken, he will have unlimited influence to affect reality as he sees fit. So what can he do as each seal breaks in turn? <br><br>Firstly, there are n...

This Theory is proposing that the Chosen are a Red Herring that seem a lot more important than they actually are. I don't think that they have any real impact upon things and are not key to the Dark One's plans. I propose that the Dark One has new se...

1. Dreadlords will be an important part of the Last Battle for the Shadow, and not something that recruitment of has been left to chance. <br><br>2. The Shadow had no way of knowing in advance that Rand would start the Black Tower. <br><br>3. The Dar...

The majority of the forsaken clearly believe that Ishy was completely insane and on some kind of ego trip (which they probably felt was induced by OD-ing on TP and his in-out periods spent in the bore during the time between AOL and here-and-now). <...

I propose (and this may be a bit shaky, but here I go, proposing it anyways) that the Amayar on Tremalking are not peaceful, Water-way-following happy folk - this is The Illusion. <br><br>Instead, they are a hidden colony of Dreadlords, ready to ris...

<p>We all know that Rand wants to break the seals. This theory is not about whether he will or not, but whether he should. For readability, I will put most of this in chronological order. </P> <P> The first three seals were found broken; Domon, Turak...
