I know this post is 12 hours old but I really hope you get a chance to answer my question. You did a fine job finishing the series, Brandon. This is coming from a 17 year fan.
RJ once mentioned that, during previous iterations of the Wheel, the Dragon turned (or was turned, I can’t recall) to the Shadow. Now, it’s somewhat apparent that the Dragon, as a stabilising force on the Pattern, is more than a simple mortal who can channel, which makes me wonder what would happen to a Dragon/Creator avatar if its essence became that of the Shadow. I imagine it would be something akin to the Dark One’s evil, but still opposite in nature.
So is Mordeth/Ordeith/Fain the roaming essence of a Dragon who never had his Dragonmount Moment?
That’s a very interesting theory about Fain. I don’t believe that the books specifically rule it out. However, I don’t have any special information that can confirm it for you. (Sorry.)
Thank you!
