icola's Foretelling

by Karthi the Magician: 1998-06-01 | Not yet rated

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Prophecies, Foretellings, and Talents

The lion sword, the dedicated spear, she who sees beyond. Three on the boat, and he who is dead yet lives. The great battle done, but the world not done with battle. The land divided by the return, and the guardians balance the servants. The future teeters on the edge of a blade."
This was Nicola's Foretelling in Book 6.
The first line is obviously about Elayne, Aviendha, and Min, respectively.
Line 2: Three ta'veren, because although the Wise Ones told Aviendha who told Rand that they saw him "...on a boat with three women whose faces they could not see...", it doesn't seem to fit with it. I believe that Rand might have a Multiple Personality Disorder (and I've taken Honors Psychology and am currently in Med School, so if I'm wrong, ya'll can't tell me I'm on crack) and he who is dead yet lives can be either Mat, and if not, then LTT.
Line 3: The great battle done- the Dragon's ill-fated strike on Shayol Ghul- but the world not done with battle- the three thousand years ensuing.
Line 4(first half): The land divided by the return- The Corenne... It is. (Divided).Check out ACOS.
LINE 4(2nd Half): Asha'man and Aes Sedai. Equal in number and equal in standing with each other.
If you think I'm wrong, well I've seen a few theories that made me laugh pretty hard, so if this at least gives you a good laugh,... well, enjoy yourself.

Sounds good, although I believe that the great battle it speaks of is the battle Rand must fight. And that after that battle is finished, the land will still be divided by the 'Return' of the Seachan and that the future of the land will still teeter on the edge. This is one of the reasons I disagree that Rand and the Seachan will ever unite. Nicola's foretelling here really tells us a lot yet leaves so much to be desired.

In Nicola's prophecy, people have been making mistakes. They say it mentions a boat, but its precise wording "the boat". This puts major emphasis on it. I don't know what it means but it's important.

I believe the second line refers to Min, Aviendha, and Elayne standing over Rand. Who must die (every major prophecy is quite clear on that one), but since nobody really wants him to, we have to figure out a way to let him live(I have read some posts suggesting that it is LTT who dies in Rand's body).
