Question
If I were to open a gateway in front of me that opened behind me, and I balefired myself, what would happen?Robert Jordan
Young lady, you are entirely too obsessed and have far too much time. You need to get some sort of life. I suggest you go have an intense love affair. Doesn't matter with who, be it man, woman, or German Shepherd.Tags

Question
Would you be willing to tell me what the titles are for the Heads of the Blue and Brown Ajahs?Robert Jordan
Nah. I used to tell people stuff like that casually, but lately I think that it's better just to read these things as they are mentioned in the books.Tags

Question
In the Wheel of Time mythos, how do extinct animals come back into existence when the Wheel comes back around?Robert Jordan
Well, the world I created is based on the ideas and conceptions of the world from a roughly medieval viewpoint; time being circular and such. I didn't quite try to make it completely scientifically accurate, so there really is no answer for the question.Tags

It has also been further confirmed that:Robert Jordan
—Taimandred is bogus.
—Rand has only one soul, but has two personalities.
—Museam Replicas will be producing the Sword and Dragon pins as well as an approved version of the Great Serpent ring (which apparently goes around the finger twice before biting its own tail).
—Someone has correctly deduced who killed Asmodean, so no one should ever ask him that question again.
