laida's Foretelling About the White Tower

by Starscream: 1998-06-05 | Not yet rated

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

I'm sure this has already been suggested elsewhere, but Elaida's Foretelling of a united Tower in truth speaks of a Tower united under Egwene. IMHO Egwene as Amyrlin will produce some MAJOR changes - The Three Oaths may go out the window, there will be cooperation with male channelers, the neutering of the Red Ajah, among other things. BTW Egwene will have to deal with a Tower destroyed in fact. The Black Ajah, Messana, and other vile agents will fulfill an earlier dream of the Tower itself crumbling Egwene will have to rebuild it in more ways than one. Elaida will probably die at the hands of Darkfriends that's unfortunate. I sorta liked her in a dubious way(her knitting?), but she's too self-serving to merit surviving another book or so. If she avoids death, she'll face major punishment - but it *won't* be stilling. Let's go and see, hm?

I hope Logain kills Elaida and Alviaran wouldn't that be a shame! I agree, major changes are about to occur among the Aes Sedai(all of them).

Ok, now Eladia has the foretelling, but has proved before that she has no skill at interpreting it, in fact, she has shown that she gets it wrong. (The key to the last battle is the Royal House of Andor--so she obsesses on finding Elayne, when the key was Tigraine bearing a child with the Aiel.) Similarly she takes her lastest foretelling "The tower shall be whole...." to mean that she will be Amrylin over it, even though that is said NOWHERE. Her downfall is supposition. The royal house is key to the last battle, so she supposes that means DURING the last battle, even though she had this vision before Morgase ever came to power (25 year prior to CoS). The same supposing comes in here. BTW, Egwene CANNOT throw the three oaths out the window. To do so would be her downfall, and Rand's (i.e. her dream,the ter'angreal).

Elaida once fortold that the White Tower would be unified under her, and I think that will happen in the most litteral scence possible, she will be standing on top of The White Tower, most likely looking down on her nice new palace, and she will be killed. And that act will unify the tower, since the main force apposing Egwene will of been killed. I have this fancy that Thom Merrillin will kill her, because she was central in owens death, but I dont know how he is going to kill her, but then I dont know how he killed the king of Cairien.
