Interview #36: Twitter 2011 (WoT), Entry #32

Felix Pax (5 January 2011)

Did RJ specifically state in his notes that the three Aiel Dreamwalkers were clueless about the ‘breaking of the seals’?

FELIX PAX

I ask, because those same three Aiel Dreamwalkers are implied to know the final use of Callandor early in the series.

Brandon Sanderson (5 January 2011)

Before I reply, expand on that question, if you will. Humor me.

FELIX PAX

It’s Amys, Bair, Melaine reactions to Egwene’s words in Towers of Midnight Chapter “A Vow” (Egwene POV) I’m wondering about.

FELIX PAX

Quotation: “but his words were those of madness. He said he is going to break the seals on the Dark One’s prison.”

FELIX PAX

Amys and Bair both froze. “You are certain of this?” Bair asked. “Yes.”

FELIX PAX

“This is disturbing news,” Amys said.”We will consult with him on this. Thank you for bringing this to us.”

FELIX PAX

My question is if all the Wise One sit around the Heart of the Stone, repeatedly, and look at Callandor .

FELIX PAX

Should not the Wise Ones have knowledge about the breaking of the seals? They already know about Callandor ‘s use.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I’ll say this. RJ’s writing, notes, and outline were very present in that entire sequence. Much less Brandon there.

Footnote

Felix is a little notorious for being insane, so don’t worry if you don’t get it.
