Great new Rand/3 Wives theory
Eric Daniel Rosenberg
It is my guess, that the Wise Ones are using the One Power to enhance
the 'fertility' of the women Rand is fated to marry, Min, Aviendha and
Elayne. So far he has had intercourse with Min and Aviendha, if you
were Rand, and all three women were pregnant, your Two Rivers honor
would force you to marry them all. :)

Wouldn't Avi & Elayne notice? Don't you think they'd mind? Why would

Well, I don't think much of your theory. But...
Whatever happens, Rand is sort of screwed. It seems to me that Rand
is facing two possible destinies. Death at Shayol Ghul or polygamy.
Unless two of the girls die. Which would be just as bad from Rand's
POV. I suppose being half Aiel he should get over the polygamy hang-up,
but I doubt the girls would like having 1/3 of Rand to themselves.
So does anyone want to predict how this situation will turn out? Are
there any happy endings?

I think according to two rivers honor you can only have ONE wife anyway...
So in I think it's a VERY silly theory.

Yes, I have absolutely no problem with this. Other than the fact that his
lifespan will probably suffer somewhat, given the fact that even a young man
can satisfy *three* women simultaneously for only so long....
But then, perhaps the OP could be employed to extend endurance?

Well, Elayne and Avi are the only ones Rand needs to worry about,
cause they can channel. And as long as they don't take the oaths,
and with their strenght, they may live 500+ years, while poor
min dies in her 60's. So, if Rand is patient in choosing, he just
has to break one heart or have just 2 wives.
But really, most likely Rand will die.

The three in question are already gearing themselves up for a forsome ala

They already know who each of the others is.
Next big question is do Aiel sisterwives MPS each other.

There have been a few indications that Aviendha is pregnant, I don't

If he made them all three pregnant at the same time, his Two Rivers

They are already not happy about it. But they are all resigned to the fact
that it is real and they have to deal with it. You are right, they have
all said they don't like it, but they will live with it.

I think that people are focusing on the _positive_
aspects of Rand's situation a little too much. I am
told that the Chinese character for 'trouble' can be
broken down into "two women under one roof". Now
we're talking about four.
Instead of drooling over tag-team MPS, Rand should
really be worrying about tag-team PMS.

Not at all. That's Rand who's pissed off...
Anyway, it explains why Aviendha had to get to Seanchan in
order to have MPS with Rand...

His fourth femme (and _quite_ fatale) is Alanna! I don't
think we've seen the last of her at all. If nothing else,
the "Warder gifts" will probably be of help to him some
time.
So why is it that Rand can't swing an Oath Rod without
making a cuddlicious dame with fantastic powers fall in
love with him? I mean, what's he got that I don't? That
is, besides being a handsome six-foot-tall carrot-top
blademaster Messiah with a heart of gold, awe-inspiring
powers, a summer palace in Cairhien, and an extra person-
ality inside his head in case you get tired of the old
one? Sheesh!
That's why the DO has put out a contract on the poor lad.
Simple jealousy.

Nah, it's all fate. Otherwise Elayne would look down her nose at him,
and Aviendha might play Maidens' Kiss but certainly wouldn't get closer.
Min would never have thought about him twice - out of sight, out of mind.

Five, actually.
Think about it.
Birgitte is bonded to Elayne. Alanna is bonded to Rand.
An Aes Sedai's warder is aware of what his(her) Aes Sedai feels, and
vice-versa.
Even if they were not involved (which would probably leave Rand
gibbering like some nameless Lovecraftian creature), Alanna and
Birgitte would probably be the first to share the post-conjugal smoke.

Rand would be lucky if he even _survives_ to make it to TG, either

This would be Alanna. In COS when Rand is going
out to meet the Sea Folk, she and Min have a
little "rapproachment". Rand will never get

How about this. Min and Aviendha are killed at Shayol Ghul. Also, they
are pregnant at this time (the battle takes place within six months of
the COS events), and the unborn kids are also killed, thus fulfilling
the prophecy about "his blood being spilt" etc. Rand is overcome with
grief, decides to blind himself, blinds himself in one eye, and starts
to go after the other, when Elayne, determined to stop him, uses the one
power to knock the knife out of his hand, uses too much force, and the
knife cuts through his hand, severing it at the wrist.
Rand then decides to renounce his position and becomes a wandering
somethingortheother.
In the meantime, the dark one, who was merely faking his death at the
hands of Rand, stirs....

While it's true that getting 3 women (or
even one, probably) in trouble would be a
catastrophe from a Two Rivers perspective,
remember that the Wise Ones may not see it
quite that way, _especially_ with respect
to Aviendha. They intend to see Rand with
Avi even if they have to lay the wreath
themselves.
So I'd buy the fertility-enhancement theory
wrt Aviendha. As to Min, it's hard to say,
because, even though she's not Aiel, one of
the Wise Ones (Bair?) is down with her, and
may decide to do it as a favor.
Elayne has been out of their grasp for some
time, so is probably safe, unless Avi wants
to help her out.
Just a thought. Yours,
T. Terry

Absolutely. Remember, Randland is in the future. In the meantime,
probably during the AoL, the tobacco was genetically enhanced and
given the name tabac. It now contains lots of healthy stuff that
enhances the immune system, suppresses cancer, tones up muscle tissue
and removes wrinkles, in addition to its old effect of enhancing brain
function. But most important of all, it protects completely against
acne. That is why Two Rivers Tabac is sought after everywhere in
Randland, and it nicely explain why none of our rural heroes ever

"Distinct impression"?!? We're given an outright _description_ of the game,

to Tolkien. In the case of the tavern called "The Nine Rings" or
something in Caemlin (or was it Whitebridge?) which Rand (I think)
recalled from a childhood story he had read...I sort of chuckled. I think
though it's a bit too much to have Two Rivers Tabac turning up in the
stores ofthe Wavefinder as one of their most valued items...I could only
think of Isenguard and the trade in pipeweed from the Shire...

Likewise... does this mean the Two Rivers is going to hell now that
Perrin has left?

Have we ever seen any of the female characters suffering from PMS?
(Provided we have ever seen them NOT suppering thus...)
I think no, and like the acne and constipation I think it's eradicated
by regular use of herbs and/or 2Rivers tabac ... :)

Well, we've seen a lot of _male_ characters suffering from PMS... ;)

Most of the cool characters in WOT smoke -- do you think
Jordan is trying to tell us something? Maybe he's being
paid off. I know for a few thousand bucks I'd certainly
allow a little product placement in my story...
Although, come to think of it, we don't see a lot of
sickness and disease in Randland. Must be all those
herb-women (Wisdoms, Wise Women, etc). Hmm.

Wondering if Nynaeve has any, ah, _special_ herbs
in that little bag of hers.

Post-Mad-Sex?
We've only seen Rand go bug-shit after he and the latest get naked and
boink.

Or it could just be the fact that in that age-period, little things
like lung-cancer aren't known or particularly worried about. Healing
can cure ANYTHING short of death
.

Well, all the Wise Women in Ebou Dar are Wilders, and herbal healing
seems to be damn near a science to the various Wisdoms, Mother
whatevers and the rest.

All purpose mind enhancing herb ... :)
And it obviously prevents acne, from the fact that none of our Teen
Heroes seem to suffer from this horrible scourge of youth.

If you want to get right down to it, it seems to be the wonder drug of
the Ages. No acne, no rotting teeth, no scurvy or malnutrition, no
problems with corns, dandruff, or the heartbreak of psorisis, no
premature ejacu^H^H^Hoverly excited badgers...

in the books) and is sick of beeing told to quit smoking.

Aaargh, I forgot about the badgers. Let us face the fact: Our
Teen Heroes would be a sorry sight if not for the Tabac.
How would three barely bearded boys lead armies to victory if
not for the mind-enhancing effect of a good pipe of Tabac?
(An let me once again elaborate on the well known fact that no
army has ever won a major victory under a general with zits.
They are VERY demoralizing, you know.)
It's really too bad that when the Wheel of time has run around
to our age again, most of the effects of Tabac will be gone.
It's descendant just barely has the power to transform ordinary
burger bellies into handsome cowboys for as long as the smoke lasts.
