uestions 70 Years in the Making

by Laura: 1998-10-08 | Not yet rated

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: What is Verin's 70 Year Plan?

So, last year she had been plotting for seventy years. Now we are told that her plans began when she made her last big mistake. Somehow that big mistake showed her the coming of the Dragon. Did it happen in the dream world? maybe, maybe not. We know she's got an angreal, so maybe it helped her use a portal stone, and she was shown, instaead of all the possiblities of her life--like when rand used it--but what would happen if she didn't do something. Maybe she was put in another world, one were the dragon lost, and when she came back, was determined to see him not die before his time. Quietly influencing matters to try and make it go more smoothly. I like the fact that she knows compultion. Though it has BA connotations, it is not exclusivly a BA thing and she has been shown to have pieced it together. I wonder what Egwene is going to make of her. BTW, i wonder if this sets that little green chick on the path to becoming Egwene's next keeper.

That part about Verin deserves 3-4 readings just to put together what she really is saying. Add in the ter'angreal ring, her compulsion trick, her knowledge of Portal Stones, and that angreal. I think that RJ has given us this knowledge because it is becoming a major subplot. I think you are right about her being able to use a portal stone,(although this contradicts a theory about the Portal Stones that I have), she remarks to Rand that she knows four different symbols and that Toman Head was one but we never find out what the other three happen to be...
