-
- Actually, since Isam's mother was turned to the dark, since she ran with him,
- I would say he could have easily been turned to the dark also.
-
- Fain seems to have been changed by the taint of Mordeth. If Maichin Shaim<sp.
- the Black Wind> feels akin to Fain, then I believe he has evolved into
- something darker. A creature of Shai'tan and Shador Logoth. He is seeking
- the destruction of all.
-
- Mat appears to be a reincarnation of the ancient king of Manetherean<I really
- need a book handy to catch all these spellings>
- Since Rand is Lews Therin Telemon reborn, so is Mat reborn. Even the dead
- heros mentioned they always come back.
-
- Also, I thought Tigraine, former Daughter Heir to Andor, was Rand's mother.
- She disappeared for no reason, a woman showed up to become a Mistress of
- the Shield, and on page 373 of _The Dragon Reborn_, Elayne mentioned Rand
- sort of looked like a cross between an Aiel and Tigraine. Also, I don't
- believe the Madness will hit Rand any time soon. When he was trying to use
- a portal stone to get to Falme, he saw his "alternate" lives. They all
- seemed to show the rotting disease in stage, with him sane, before he died.
- I think he will either burn himself out channeling to fight the Dark One,
- burn the taint off Saidar, or he will die in the Last Battle.
-
- Any other ideas?
