Too bad Lan was too emo or whatever to rally his bannermen himself.

"I swear to you under the Light and by my hope of rebirth and salvation, he will not ride alone."

That still gives me the chills to read. I cannot wait to see that in live action and they better do one of the greatest acts in the book the justice it deserves.

@@TankInATree It's the single line I'd want to hear from a Nynaeve casting, to make sure it's the right person.

One of the best moments in the story hands down

An Aes Sedai does what she does for her own reasons.

@@Namron9797 I see, black ajah it is then

thats why we never hear of them in the books

Or the Legends of the Dragon book based of Loial's becomes like the Journey to the West and inspires other stories and Lan's character inspires the Westlands versions of comics

An orphan becoming a great leader and symbol of hope is an old old archetype....Moses for example so that's not real surprising at all

Potentially, yes. I don't see why they couldn't. They just... Don't.

Hadn't thought of that 😜🤔

*Raises his black veil to do war on the shadow.... And to do war on COVID.*

The shoufa covers the head and not the face. It’s a separate piece of cloth called a veil which covers the face. I would suggest maintaining a good distance from anyone wearing a black face covering.

Probably pretty accurate I would think. It's thought that the ter'angreal for the testing, esp the Accepted testing are somewhat tied to similar "parallel" worlds. To me, it's even kinda implied that it's like stepping into that parallel version of yourself at a time of huge decision, and that's how the ter'angreal is able to pick something that's so important and gut wrenching to the Novice being tested that she might choose it over The White Tower and the path to being Aes Sedai. I might be totally wrong, but it's how I've always interpreted the vague explanations that are given to the Novices/Accepted, and some I think when Moiraine is reflecting on how similar the glass columns are to The White Towers testing ter'angreal. The glass columns are your ancestors memories (at least the first time), the last time, it's possible futures of descendents. Or, maybe "parallel" futures, or possibly the way it happened during different turnings of the wheel so far in the past that its the presents future. Or who knows I could just be grasping at what I want it to be and rambling about it to you. Lol.

Well... Considering Egwene's visions, I think we have our answer. 🤷

I thought about that when Nae’Blis mentioned the gaining of the hadori at the transition to manhood.

Coming soon!

Yeah in a way. Though the Aiel didn't seem to start out that way and the wise one's were mostly focused on minimizing damage and preventing outright monster wars instead of total Aiel unity. Malkier and it's predecessors all fell due to conspiracy and the machinations of both Darkfriends and the shadow as well as those of simple power hungry people as well as being so close to the blight and difficult to lead as one entity. Andor also has elements of that as well, starting to have Succession wars often and becoming bogged down by bloated Nobility.

99% sure Nae'Blis made them.

Thanks William!

Still cold and in a world where the population has been in a severe decline for generations. Mountain men, prospectors and the like sure, but a nation? I don't think so, not anytime soon anyway.

I, too, wondered about this Rod casting which determined that one brother and not the other ascended to the throne. I appreciate the wide variety of governing systems RJ gives us in the series, and details like this are part of what make this world feel so rich and textured.

The 2 solid nations turning to 4 then being consolidated then falling apart into even more nations is very cool. Shows that the Borderlands, however strong they all arw, are in decay. Really makes the turn to the Dark of a certain borderlander more tragic just like the discussion about how more and more land is falling into chaos and then desolation.

Probably a elected monarchy like the HRE.

Glad you’re enjoying!!

I have a slayer video if you want more on him!

@@NaeBlis well sweet... I'll look for it, thanks.

Partly because the shadows forces has spent centuries spreading chaos in those areas in particular because they are so productive. It's to the point that even without the shadow, those regions are ruled by small local Lord's and petty tyrants who have created a system of alliances and feuds so complicated that one would basically hace to be as bad as a Darkfriend to unite the areas and even then the shadow would get involved and even the white tower as part of their whole MO.

I typically wait a bit for news videos. I’ll have one come out tomorrow. Can’t really speak for other creators

@@NaeBlis Thank you for the reply. I was just wondering because I have actually almost exclusively seen this on unrelated sites that doesn't have a big focus on WoT.
