My predictions for PoD
Kjell Stahl
Well, it's 02.00am and I was suddenly gripped by that irresistible
"you have to post to the froup" feeling. So here comes my predictions
for the Path of Daggers:
What I believe _will_ happen:
o Either Elaida or Alviarin will lose their place as leader. Maybe
both. In either case, I believe that negotiations with the Salidar AS
will begin. It will not come to any results in this book at least,
though.
o We will have a Logain POV, maybe as he arrives at the Dark tower.
o We will be given more hints about Asmodean's demise. I believe that
RJ wants us to know, and will sort of throw it in our faces like the
"oath rod" thing in ACoS.
o Moghedien will be recaptured/killed. (Just a hunch, she's been
hanging around too long.)
o Much more Seanchan activity. Mat will be captured. Maybe, just
maybe, we will meet the Dot9M. We will at least be given strong hints
about her identity.
o Egwene will be in control of as good as all the factions in
Salidar. It will be a "between the books" thing, of course. Halima
will be rearing her ugly (?) head much more.
o Perrin & co will meet both Galad and Masema. Masema will not be
stopped in this book. Or at least, most of his followers will continue
to ravage the land.
o We will learn more about Moridin. Semirhage and Demandred will also
make appearances.
o The bowl of the winds will (finally) be used.
o Sevanna and her Wise Ones will finally be taken care of. In one way
or an other.
o In the end of the book, Rand will go "over the edge." The beggar
staff and all that.
And here is what I believe will not happen:
o Moiraine will not return, but we will be given some more hints
about her present situation.
o Elayne will not meet Rand in this book either.
o Morgase will not meet Rand either.
o No Forsaken will "die" in this book.
o Sammael will _not_ return in _this_ book.
o The Seanchan will not join forces with Rand.
o No solution to the Taim/Demandred riddle.
Gah. This was more than I intended to write.
Please be gentle. I'm tired.

Although they've been reduced in size to the innermost cadre, I think they'll
hang on for another book or two.

Loony: Moi. will find Rand as a beggar when she returns, and pull him back up
with his bootstraps.

I agree that Elaida will be out. I think Alvairin is too smart (and
has Mesaana on her side) to be ousted so soon - that will wait a book
or two.

You're probably right. My vote is that RJ's "took the long jump" means
that he is dead and not coming back.
>o Moghedien will be recaptured/killed. (Just a hunch, she's been

I think Moggy and Nyneave still have to have it out at some point, but
I think her errands for Moredin (sp?) will keep her too occupied to
have her offed.
>o Much more Seanchan activity. Mat will be captured. Maybe, just

Mat will be captured. I'm betting that at some point he winds up in
command of the Seanchan somehow - either through marriage or some
other stroke of luck ;-) That may take longer than the next book,
though.=

Aren't they in opposite corners of Randland now? I thought Perrin was
off to Saldea. Masema is still in the South somewhere. It's been a while
since I read the end of aCoS, but that's my rememberance of it.

They are going to hang around in some form or another until the bitter
end. They still need to figure out that Sammael (whatever his alias
was at the time) has double crossed them and there have to be some
repercussions to their being spread around randland.

Hmmm? I don't remember that part.

You may be right, but she's been gone a long time, two whole books. I
think it's time.

I bet we get some more clues, perhaps ones tied in with Logain.
One more thing: given the timelines of each of the books, with each
successive book taking up less and less real time in randland, it's
possible that by the 10th or 12th book, we will only be experiencing
about 20 minutes of real time!!! <grin>

In ACoS, Perrin, Faile,Berelain (!!disaster waiting to happen) and the
Two Rivers men were transported by gateway to Ghealdan to rein in Masema
and all the Dragonsworn. I think Masema will give him troubles
in the PoD.

That's an old vision (forgot by whom) of Rand, but I personally don't
think it'll happen so soon. Just a wild speculation here, but I think
that will happen near the end when Rand have to go confront the DO by
himself, and he has to disguise himself because he has become too
famous. Something will happen with his eyes too because in the vision it
is covered by cloth .

Was that a Min vision, or was it one of those possible futures that Rand

No, the fact that the Oath Rod causes the ageless look. I think that
RJ is a bit surprised that we haven't figured out who killed Asmodean,
and that he will give us a lot of hints in PoD.

this is pretty obvious, but since masema went over to amadicia (where
troubles a'brewin) and now with those Seanchan there as well, Perrin
might find more trouble than he can handle.
What I think will probably happen as well (although i'm about 40 pages
from finishing ACoS), Mat (who's the only cool guy in the book) will
probably meet the daughter of the nine moons (which refered to in an
earlier book to the Empress of the Seanchan), since it seems that he's
been captured by the Seanchan in Ebou Dar. That's gonna do something..
and about the Seanchan, there should be a map that has the entire world
with the island of the dead, and the three-fold land, and the other
place (Shara?).
Anywayz, i've also got a question.. how come Avienda made that gateway
into the land of the Seanchan in the book before LoC.
- What ever name i used, i'm not even sure.

She was trying desperately to preserve ji and not to incur a massive
amount of toh towards Elayne. IIRC, when Rand walked in and saw her standing
there nude, she felt she had to get away before she succumbed to her desires.
In her own words "I did not arrange for you to see me! I must get away from
you. As far away as I can! I must!" In her hysteria, she did the one thing that
would allow her to get _very_ far away from him indeed. She opened a gateway to
the farthest corner of the world she could reach: Seanchan.

If something does happen to his eyes, doesn't that mean he won't be able
to channel? Something about having to see the weaves, IIRC.
If that's true, maybe being ta'veren will seal the DO back up. Both Mat
and Perrin will probably have to be there too. I always thought they'd be
leading the armies, but I could be wrong.

why would the oath rod be one of the nine rods of dominion? sammael has
a similar rod, and he does not attach any importance to it. j.s.s

One other thing I thought of for predictions: What is going to happen
to Elaida after the Black Tower assault turns into a major failure
for the Aes Sedai? I am assuming their assault on it will be a failure.
There are a lot more Asha'man than the Aes Sedai going there, and if
Taim really is Demandred, I am sure he will do everything in his
power to have the Aes Sedai come out looking bad!
Perhaps this will be the event that starts Elaida's downfall.

I think she will return.. Especially since in TCoS Min says that
Moiraines veiwing was the only one she was ever wrong about.. Not that
I can remember what her veiwing was off hand.. but I think there are a
few ways it could happen.. one being that she could show up in the
world of dreams.. and the other.. a little more creative... is that
Rand has been having a lot of unprotected sex lately.. she could be
spun into that pattern as a child of his.

Sammael may not show up in the next book but I do not think he is dead
and gone. He is very smart and Rand did give him that second to
escape.

I agree that she will return, but I think that Rand will be in desperate need
of someone to save his ass and Mat will find one of those doors and find her
standing on the other side saying," It bloody well took you long enough!!"

I believe that Elaida will be stilled and kicked out of the White Tower for her
failures, and just in the nick of time, Egwene will show up and take the seat.

This would be interesting. What I'd also like to see, though I'm not
sure it'll happen, is a Galad POV. Elayne is always saying how horrible
he is because he always does the right thing. I'm curious to see how he
thinks.

I thought the implication at the end of ACoS was that Mat was captured?

I'd like to learn more about Moridin (and Shaidar Haran too). I would

would be a telltale sign that the series is going to drag on for a while...

One thing you didn't list that I think will happen:
We will finally have a POV of one of our heriones while she controls a
circle (possibly Elayne when the Bowl is used), and get some insight into
what that's like. It won't be a male/female link though; I'm betting we
won't see that until the _last_ book (or possibly the next to last).

I always thought that the Male/Female Linking would appear in PoD and this
would be thought by Cadsuane (Spelling?) as refered to by Min in her Viewing
regarding the something she was going to teach all Asha'man.

I don't think so, I'm going from memory here so don't kill me if this is wrong but I
think the Aes Sedai tried first and failed and then the Asha'man tried and partially
suceeded, sealing the injuries off. The Aes Sedai then begs the Asha'man to teach
her how he did it.

In ,I think, the prologue of TDR the seanchan woman recalled a proverb"At
the heights the paths are lined with daggers" hense the title of book8.
Since Mat must wed DOT9M to realise the prophesy of Rand controling the
Seanchan there"s not alot left.

Personally, what I want to find out in Path of Daggers is who that old guy
is who was watching Carridin in Ebou Dar. I racked my brains for who it
could be and came up with zip. anyone got suspicions?
Also, if you look in the glossary of CoS it says Juilin is in love with,
IIRC, "the last woman he would have ever thought" or something like that.
Now who the bloody **** could that be? And yeah, I'm aware how pathetic it
is that I'm so desperate for the next book to come out that I'm going back
and rereading the friggin' glossaries...Sigh.

There's very little info to go on, some recently mentioned Jaim Farstrider,
the hero from the book Rand, Elayne et al. have read. He dissappeared some
thirty years ago but no body has been found. Other than that I don't know, I
can't think of anyone else who fits the bill.

1).Old dude watching carridin = Jaim Farstrider... it is hinted at several
times.
2).Juilin - If you read carefuly the Juilin bits after Tanchico it

Most people think it's Amathera. He doesn't like nobles so he
wouldn't have thought to fall in love with one, but he seemed quite
attracted to her in Tarabon.
I think Theodrin might also be a remote possibility. She's an Aes
Sedai and, IIRC, an Illianer: two qualities no Tairen man would expect
in the woman he loves. The problem with this theory is that I'm not
sure they even met one another while they were in Salidar.

Seeing how Julin Sandar is a mascot for the "Common People" and how he
has such a deep *love* for all humans hailing from Illian, it seems like
he will fall for some Illianer noble-woman.
Of course, we know nothing of Illianer noble-women... and I sound like
an idiot.

My predictions for PoD:
Note: The entire book will take place over the course of two and
a half hours.
The bowl of the winds will be knocked off of a table, and shatters
on the ground. The girls go out looking for another bowl, which they
never find.
Mat bleeds to death under the collapsed building. Go figure.
Rand snaps, and obliterates Tear.
-_All_- the forsaken die by balefire in a massive firefight, and
nearly unravel the Pattern. The battle is only stopped because of my next
prediction:
Birgette has MPS, triggering Elayne, who grabs a convenient
Warder, whose Aes Sedai grabs someone else, who happens to be bonded to an
Asha'man, etc., and the entire world is enveloped in a frenzy of bonding
and MPS the likes of which has never been seen and has only even been
thought of on this group.
Shayol Ghul re-opens as a resort. (like in the AoL)
The book ends with one word, in italics. Flicker. The next book
begins with Rand younger and standing in fron of the Portal Stone from
book two, a bit confused. Yes, the whole series past book two has been an
elaboration on the flickerflickerflicker chapter, and none of it has been
real.
I go off topic, after being startled by my own ideas.
Dear lord, can you imagine if RJ continued the series normally and
then, at the end of the series, after it's all over, on the last page, it
just said flicker? The yelling and arguing on this group would be...
well, not beautiful, not scary, but... well, there's no word to say it
right. RJ would be lynched. Actually, I think it would be neat, but he'd
still be lynched.
I should stop talking now.

Actually, I've been doing some thinking about this, and you know who I
came up with? Egeanin, that Seanchan woman El and Nyn met up with in
Tanchico who helped them free the Panarch. The only other one I can think
of might be Brigitte, which would be wacky. He'd be competing with
Olver...maybe. <snicker>

No, Like I said, I vote for Egeanin. There's a spot, I can't remember
where, where juilin mutters something about Tanchico being an unsafe place
for a woman, apropos of nothing said earlier. Egeanin's the onlt woman
besides Amathera they met there IIRC, unless you want to count Moggy or
the Black Ajah.

LOL, yikes. You know, I thought of that too, and it's just scary. Juilin

IIRC Egeanin had something going with Bayle Domon, and Domon seemed to
be in agreement, so unless Juilin is supposed to have a torid loveaffair
behind Domon's back, I would vote for Amathera.

My trollometer has gone AWOL lately, but on the chance that this _isn't_
a troll; Theodrin is Domani. It's stated repeatedly in the books (or
perhaps it only referred to the skin color...it amounts to the same

I can't remember hearing about any braids...all I can recall about
Theodrin, is that she is apple-cheeked and...copper-skinned (typical
Domani).
As for the names...I dunno. I do not even recall those other names
you're bringing up - Cerindrin and Selindrin. Perhaps you care to
enlighten me...?

They were encountered in Tanchico. Selindrin was the proprietress of
that wine shop where Egeanin and the folks met wearing masks, and
Cerindrin was an attendant of Amethera's that the girls questioned in
trying to get close to the Panarch.

It would be cool if it was Egeainin. That way we could have Bayle Domon

I yield. It probably is the Panarch, since I previously forgot about Domon
and Egeanin. Presumably Amthera will come from Amadicia to Ebou Dar with
Suroth after the Seanchan take over the city (well, they already have).

<smacks own forehead> What the hell was I thinking? She do no even
speak in that annoying Illian patois. (And why do Aes Sedai who've
been at the Tower for 50+ years continue to speak their regional
dialects anyway?)
I thought Juilin's lady love might be an Aes Sedai because of how
Tairens feel about the power and because Juilin was more recently in
Salidar than Tanchico. Since Theodrin was teaching Nynaeve and she
wasn't an "official" Aes Sedai, she would be more likely to have had
some contact with Juilin.
I must have subconsciously convinced myself she was an Illianer to
lend credence to my theory.

Because Aussies will continue to speak in Aussies dialect, and Brits in
their British dialect, and Americans....etc, etc. It's not so easy to
change your dialects, and again, why bother ? For some, it's a matter of
identity and pride too.

I thought it was Amathera myself, although now that she's a pet for the
Seanchan that will be a bit of a problem, don't you think?

I would've thought it was someone from Illian, seeing as how Juilin is
from Tear. But I guess the Panarch is a more logical solution, seeing as
we haven't been introduced to many women from Illian

I've known a fair number of immigrants, and from what I've seen,
speech patterns don't become really ingrained until a person is in
their late 20's or early 30's. Younger people will gradually change
their accents and start using the idioms of their new country/region
without consciously trying.
Since most novices go to the Tower in their early teens, it's a little
unrealistic to expect them to keep their dialects after 50 or so years
in Tar Valon.

Immigrants who lose distinctive speech patterns tend to do it
1) In places where one dialect and accent predominate.
2) As part of an effort to fit it.
The White Tower is full of people from all over Randland. I can't recall
mention of a Tar Valon accent. Novices and Accepted can't adopt any single way
of speaking that makes them sound like an insider. Ergo, they tend to retain
their old habits.

The accents may be different in the White Tower, but there is a
dominant dialect. Just about every country we've seen with the
exceptions of Illian and Tarabon uses standard 'English'.
>2) As part of an effort to fit it.
I have to disagree with this point. Sometimes people do consciously
try to change their speech patterns to fit in, but it usually sounds
affected and not very natural. Most of the time, a person's speech
will change because of osmosis over a number of years. If 90% of the
people around you speak a certain way, you will eventually begin
speaking that way yourself.
>The White Tower is full of people from all over Randland. I can't recall
>mention of a Tar Valon accent.
Even if the books haven't mentioned a TV accent, it's pretty safe to
assume that one exists. The city might attract merchants from all
over the continent, but there is also a large and stable native
population that has resided in the city for generations. Over time,
they must have developed some consistency in how they pronounce
certain words, etc.
>Novices and Accepted can't adopt any single way

I don't think they're making conscious decisions to keep or abandon
their dialects.

Not necessarily. You can change the expressions you typically use if
you make an effort, but after a certain age, accents seem to be pretty
much set. I immigrated to the U.S. when I was eight years old, and I
still have an accent when speaking English.

Probably not the same accent you had ten years ago, though. I still
have a trace of my old Welsh-British accent even though it's been 14
years since I immigrated to Canada at age 10. It's become faint
enough that most people just assume I have an unusual voice.

Uhh... no. Way I see it, you leave civilisation once you go north of
about 12th Street. You, you're on a completely different island.
LONG ISLAND, as a matter of fact.

Actually, Jimmy boy, I do hate to break it to ye, but _our_ taxes are
the lower of the two.
So, not only do you get to pay more taxes to live in the backwater
region, you have to pay more commutation fees to get to the city proper.

Ummm.... Suffolk county sales taxes are lower by 1/4 percent, I believe.
But, yeah, we have these enormous property taxes to compensate.

I believe it's seven fifty for a round trip off-peak ticket from
Huntington Station to Jamaica, and then $1.50 gets me anywhere I want to
be. Not too bad.

"Cheap women" has a singularly negative conotation that doesn't involve
prostitution.
Incidentally, does anyone you know really spell the dimunitive form of
_Richard_ "Rich_y_?"
I was just curious. Most everyone I know spells is _Richie_.

Property taxes in NYC are so low as to be non-existent (practically),
and NYC sales tax is being phased out in 1999.

True. I only live here for another three months, anyway. Then Ithaca,
then, hopefully, Greenwich and NYU law. And then just Greenwich.

Methinks you think we all live in coldwater tenements with a three
strory walk-up.
Brooklyn's a big place. And it's a _diverse_ place.

You've summoned "Grade A"...
I've never been to San Fran. Never really had the wish to. California
just _bothers_ me on the whole.
Greenwich, however, now there was a place that was just too cool
for words. It's not just a "gay ghetto"; it also harbingers all
sorts of strange and interesting things (and people). There's
a communist bookshop with a name that I can't remember around there
that a friend of mine got a picture of me by that I'm just
gonna have to find.

I don't like Southern California. Not enough pressure, way too layed
back. And the Nappa/Sonoma area and north of that are just to... fake
for me. But San Fran has more character than any city I've evr been in,
even in Europe.

I love the people there. My god, I could just sit in a coffe shop and
watch them for days.

I went there with two male and three female friends about a month and a
half ago. One of them is going to Cooper Union in the fall, so we walked
over there to check things out. On St. Mark's Place, the girls made us
go into this shop called Religious Sex. Mostly Bondage
apparrel/equipment. I was enjoying the hell out of it, but my less...
open minded male companions walked out and waited outside.
I also like it because it is the only place in the country where you can
honestly do whatever makes you happy and be looked down upon by _no
one_.

:Mad laughter:
There are 2.5 million more people in Brooklyn than in Manhattan. It's
easily twice the size, and has forests, beaches, wetlands, amusement
parks and canals...sheesh what's the point.
You don't know what the hell your talking about. Manhattan's more
diverse? Indeed.

Everything in Central Valley (Sac Valley, San Juaqin, Napa, etc.) is
fairly
fake. Sac esp., because it's a wannabe big city. Fresno's pretty
real,
but most of us wish it wasn't.

I wish the Bay Area would lap over (culture-wise) a little more into
Central
Valley. Sacramento radiates blandness and moderation for hundreds
of miles all
around. Fortunately, it's not strong enough to climb into the
mountains (clean
air takes away its strength), so I can always go home to get away
from it.

Kurt, it looks fine, but watch your line lengths. To be on the safe
side, keep them shorter than those you are replying to, or if you're
just posting a message, read someone else's and adjust your compo
window to match before posting. ( I've heard different line lengths

First, I have to be amused that you would consider that monstrosity that
Coney Island has become (Astroland it's called now, right?) to be an
amusement park.
Secondly... In Manhattan, you have fewer people. Less space. Less
diversity of geographical type. But, you have headquarters of vast
numbers of national and international organizations, globally recognized
landmarks, the most expensive real estate outside of Hong Kong only a
few blocks from areas stricken with abject poverty, some of the busiest
docks in the country, and a majority of the trendiest places to be seen
in the Western Hemisphere. Which is, of course, the main difference.

This probably also reflects my personal experience. I've spent a whole
lot of time in Manhattan; my experience in Brooklyn is limited to a
couple visits to the aprtment of a lawyer friend of the family who lives
there.
You may be right about Brooklyn being so diverse, but... don't say
there's nothing to do in Manhattan.

<sigh>... Where I live, if I say "The Village," people think I'm
referring to Huntington Village, in the northwestern corner of Suffolk

That's another thing. You say "California", people think Hollywood and
easy money, but they forget it's mostly trees and desert.

All I can do is claim social inadequacy. I thought the two were
interchangeable.

Please, Cat, for my sanity, tell me where this quote comes
from. I've heard it before and can't remember where it comes
from. It's going to drive me mad until I can remember.

Someone else used to use it as a .sig here a while ago. I don't know if
that's where you're remembering it from, or if you saw it the same place
the quoters did.

It's even more fun to go to church wearing a floor length black cloak
with a hood covering your face, while carrying a sickle.

I actually do this while shouting, "It's after me, it's after me!"
And I do it later at night as well.
But then again, I just like to scare people.
Titania - about as un-scary as one person can be, until she wakes up.

It's the culture. Too damn laid back, too damn _nice_ (I'm not talking
polite. I'm talking in-your-face, I-just-became-your-best-friend nice).
Too trendy. Too many natural disasters. Too warm (or too rainy,
depending on what part). Too much angst. The most horrifically
disgusting mix of politics I've ever seen.
I _could_ go on...
