I put all the quotes in the database earlier but I figured I’d do a roundup. There are a few questions I didn’t include either because they weren’t WoT-related or because I didn’t find them to be all that relevant to our HCFF interests. They are footnoted and slightly edited for prettiness.
How many rounds are there in the Age of Legends game sha’rah ?
MAFO
And I can’t answer that MAFO off the top of my head.
Were those fellas in red veils human or Shadowspawn?
RAFO. :)
Who on earth is Nakomi?
RAFO. :) I’m leaving that one open to interpretation.
Ch. 48-49. Was that all in Jordan’s notes? So so sad and dark!
I’m avoiding answering questions about what was specifically in the notes and what wasn’t, for now.
Ok, well, can you comment on your own feelings of those chapters, as a fan?
Awesome but very disturbing. As a fan, they’re discomforting.
Are Aviendha’s children conceived naturally or are they a consequence of something Power-related Rand and Aviendha do together?
RAFO. :)
The names for kids in Aviendha’s vision: Were they from the notes for outrigger books? Or written up by you?
I’ll answer that specifically after the books are all out.
You’ve said in the past that Aviendha’s voice was one the hardest for you to write….is this still the case?
It still takes the longest to prepare for, but it is no longer as difficult as it was.
Was the fog in The Path of Daggers during the fight between Toram Riatin and Rand a bubble of evil or did Fain control the fog?
RAFO.
The glossary referred to it as a bubble of evil.
What did we miss that would have told us who killed Asmodean?
I don’t think people missed it. RJ said it was obvious, and many guessed it correctly. So I’d say they got it.
If you ask on a fan site, they can get you the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ style investigation of the subject. It is right.
Was Asmodean killed with balefire? And when will additional details regarding his death be released?
I will see if I can give additional details. I’ll ask Maria and Harriet for their read.
You said at a book tour that we’d seen Demandred lots already—is this true? Has he been ‘on screen’ in Towers of Midnight ?
I was being jokey on that one, meaning the times he’s appeared as himself or been referenced as himself.
I have not answered if we’ve seen him ‘in disguise’ yet. Or I didn’t intend to. Might have sounded that way.
Brandon has previously indicated that Demandred’s alter ego has not been seen on screen as of Knife of Dreams . RJ also had previously stated that we had not seen Demandred’s alter ego on screen as of Crossroads of Twilight .
Is Logain working for Demandred?
Oh, you KNEW I was going to RAFO that one.
How often does Demandred contemplate killing Moridin?
Less than the other Chosen. He is focused on Rand. He contemplates Moridin, but mostly he wants Rand.
Who is the best swordsman in WoT right now? Lan, Galad, or Gawyn?
Lan. Then Galad. Then Gawyn. Gawyn is luckier than he thinks he is.
Who was bringing the Trollocs through the Portal Stone to attack Perrin and the Whitecloaks?
RAFO. :)
I can’t figure it out….what was the “little thing” that was missed [from books 4-6]?
End of Chapter 55 [in Towers of Midnight ].
This refers to the ashandarei , which provided a way out of the Tower of Ghenjei.
Will we see more from Shara or the Land of the Madmen?
RJ said there would be no major action in Shara. He was uncertain on Madmen.
Why is Hoid trying to restore the Pattern?
Lol. Hoid has no involvement in anything WoT. :)
Who is your favorite character, and why?
Perrin, because I feel like him most of the time.
Are the prophecies competing a la The Belgariad (by David Eddings), or are they complementary?
Not competing like The Belgariad , and certainly not intelligent like in The Belgariad .
Some may be interpreted wrong, others may be recorded wrong, but there is not a this/that nature to them.
Which character kept you up at night worrying the most?
Rand. In both books.
Re: A Memory of Light , I hope there’ll be tons more Tuon/Seanchan?
There will be more than there was in Towers of Midnight .
Did Verin know the weave to hide her channeling ability from being detected by another female channeler?
Sneaky sneaky Verin knew a lot. And that’s all I have to say at the moment.
