Hey Brandon, I got a bunch of questions from the Wheel of Time Re-read.
Okay! Alright! So Wetlander and people.
Yes…Are the impressive displays of power that Rand makes in Towers of Midnight (i.e., stopping the Trolloc army and having no concern over being able to leave the White Tower) a result of his integrated knowledge or his ta’veren nature?
Umm…Both, though, one thing you have to keep in mind, is…Rand, as a result of power level…Robert Jordan was specifically not using him very often because his power had grown so powerful even by the end of Knife of Dreams . I mean, you look at Knife of Dreams —if you go reread the fight in Knife of Dreams he is laying waste to nearly as many Trollocs as he has when he does the battle at the temple—which is not actually called that in the books—that’s the one with the Trollocs and things [referencing Rand’s big single-handed fight in Towers of Midnight ]. And so…yes, some of these things have changed, but he’s really powerful now.
Now, the thing about in the White Tower is something different. [Brandon smiles]
Someone needs to ask Brandon about that ‘temple’ thing.
