Theoryland of the Wheel of Time

Walked along the water in Perth today. I was not attacked by a single snake, spider, or shark. Australia, you're letting me down.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Also, PRK from #swancon did indeed warn me about drop-bears. I will be sure to wear vegemite behind my ears to protect myself.

PRK

Had a very lovely dinner at Bonsai with @BrandSanderson and @mdepierres—they're fantastic guests! #Swancon is going to be awesome.

PRK (7 APRIL 2012)

Got RAFO'd on asking where the wind blows from in A Memory of Light.

PRK (7 APRIL 2012)

Demandred will have some awesome stuff in A Memory of Light.

PRK (7 APRIL 2012)

In The Gathering Storm, Egwene was mostly RJ, Rand mostly Brandon. In Towers of Midnight, Mat mostly RJ, Perrin mostly Brandon.

PRK (7 APRIL 2012)

Brandon tried to get moments for every character in A Memory of Light. Egwene is ready to be bad ass in the Last Battle; her character development is done.

PRK

Perth Exclusive for #WoT counted scenes by viewpoint. Rand has the most viewpoints in A Memory of Light, not a huge margin. Others tied.

PRK

Caveat, still revising A Memory of Light, so that can change.

LISA-MAREE BARBA

It's not much but Brandon S just told me that Lan has the most POVs in A Memory of Light, only just ahead of Rand. But that could change with editing.

PRK

I thought he said Rand ahead of the other main characters?

TEREZ

That doesn't even make sense. :s Sure, Lan is vital, but it's hard to see how the story could focus on him that much.

PRK (8 APRIL)

Confirmed it was Rand with the highest number of POV scenes in A Memory of Light (at the moment).

PRK (7 APRIL 2012)

The Padan Fain / Mordeth hybrid will be in A Memory of Light.

PRK

Got a RAFO on how the Mordeth/Fain Hybrid influences the Black Wind.

PRK (7 APRIL 2012)

Nakomi thing is a huge RAFO.

Ask him if there is a Waygate anywhere near Lugard. We suspect that Ogier-built Shaemal was somewhere in Murandy.

PRK

Why does it matter where Shaemal is?

TEREZ

It only matters because of the possibility of a Waygate in Murandy, which is why I phrased the question the way I did.

TEREZ

It has to do with the theory that Roedran is Demandred. ;)

PRK

Okay, I'll ask that one next time!

PRK (8 APRIL)

Answer re Lugard Waygate: "*chuckles* That's clever! Anything I say will give away too much, so I'll have to RAFO that one."

Ask him if the manner of the Aiel service to the Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends was just Singing, or if it was also domestic.

TEREZ

As a follow-up you could ask him if female Voices were also used in non-Earthy scenarios, i.e. to enhance saidar in particular?

TEREZ

And ask him if non-Aiel could really have the Voice (assuming the type that enhances channeling) or if Lews Therin was just confused.

PRK

Lews Therin was confused about time and place, but what he was saying was possible.

PRK

There was more than just singing, but Brandon wasn't willing to go into it. Unsure if that was RAFO or irrelevance.

PRK

Brandon said he wasn't willing to talk much about the Voice things. I got the sense it was a subtle RAFO.

Even the salt & pepper shakers at #Swancon are themed!
