Interview #874: Twitter 2013 (WoT), Entry #23

Kamarile Sedai (23 January 2013)

Brandon, does the Oath Rod continue to be used in the Fourth Age? If so, for what purpose?

Brandon Sanderson (23 January 2013)

So far as I know, yes. And for the same purpose.

Raj Iyer

Do other groups start using the Rod too?

Brandon Sanderson

Do you think the Aes Sedai are likely to let others manhandle one of their ter’angreal ?

Kamarile Sedai

Did men start to use the Oath Rod too, or did it continue to be only women?

Brandon Sanderson

No men. Neither group would like that. The Asha’man are NOT male Aes Sedai. RJ was clear about this in the notes.

Keith Martin

Will the White and Black Towers reunite to form one Aes Sedai again?

Brandon Sanderson

RJ was clear to me that the Asha’man were not Aes Sedai, and were not going to become them.

Brandon Sanderson

That said, a united male/female Aes Sedai will come again someday.

Footnote

Brandon is probably not referring to the 4th Age in his last tweet; more likely he’s talking about the next turning of the Wheel.
