Can you shed any light on how the Rand/Elan body swap happened? I’m wondering whether it was like the Dark One’s transmigration of souls, if it’s tied to Rand’s apparent new abilities, or something else.
It’s not outlined in the notes, but I think of it as the soul that wanted to live found a body, and the one that wanted to die, did.
I knew going in that Brandon has said RJ didn’t explain how it happened, but a friend wanted me to ask and I’m glad I did! It was a much better answer than the shoulder shrug I expected based on the torchat.
Speaking of torchat, I noticed Brandon told someone that if they ask him on a tour stop, he might tell them who it was that helped Rand out of the cave. I’d be interested in knowing that and I would have asked that too if I’d remembered.
