Interview: Nov, 1993
Trinity College Q&A (Paraphrased)Robert Jordan
Specific questions: Lews Therin Telamon's suicide was emphatically not balefire, but an overload of the Power. And when Verin was mentioned, he just said he hoped he kept surprising people.Tags

Interview: Oct 25th, 1994
LOC Signing Report - Tony Zbaraschuk (Paraphrased)Question
Speaking of the Breaking, how did Dragonmount survive all that rearrangement of geography?
Robert Jordan
Well, the Breaking had different effects in different areas. Some areas were raised up, others lowered, others moved around... but the effects were relatively mild in some areas; Dragonmount was one of them.Note that Shayol Ghul used to be a subtropical island. The Tar Valon area was moved, but as an entire piece, so the mountain, the island, and the river stayed in the same places relative to each other.
Tony Zbaraschuk
[Which I suppose makes sense, since nobody lived in the area (of Dragonmount), the men would likely have been elsewhere.]Tags

Interview: Nov 21st, 2009
Matt Hatch
Ok, we’ll move on from there. Were male channelers across Randland able to feel Rand's use of the male Choedan Kal when he destroyed it atop Dragonmount?
Brandon Sanderson
I would certainly think they would have been able to, consistent with what has happened before.
Matt Hatch
But did they know that it was destroyed? Is that what they felt, or was it just the use of?
Brandon Sanderson
I do not believe the destruction of a sa’angreal would be the type of event that you would be able to notice. It is not consistent with what we have seen before.

Interview: Nov 21st, 2009
Matt Hatch
Jordan talked about Pattern Level Events, or in other words "Effects of the Wheel". This question was asked of him at DragonCon '05. We wanted to know how Rand showed up in the sky above Falme with Ishamael. Theories... [the recording cut off here so Brandon’s answer to my question was lost. I will paraphrase it generally. I asked him if Rand’s access to the infinite lives while on Dragonmount at the end of The Gathering Storm, was the Wheel getting involved directly.]
Brandon Sanderson
He replied as follows according to my memory that there was a Pattern Level Event there, but it wasn’t specifically the Wheel giving Rand access to memories [of] his previous lives. Brandon asked for some clarification about how Jordan explained his answer at DragonCon. We were rushed and I could not give him that direct quote, so I was unable to ask more specifically if Rand was seeing the soul’s history of lives lived, or if more generically the Wheel displayed to his mind a series of previous generic lives, like it displayed Rand and Ishamael in the sky above Falme. He did speak briefly about the Wheel not physically “touching” Rand and/or Ishamael, which seemed to be suggestive of his initial response that it didn’t “touch” Rand’s mind to give him access to his own memories. Once again, a more detailed discussion of this subject is worthwhile, especially one recorded.

Interview: Nov 7th, 2010
TOM Signing Report - Zaela Sedai (Paraphrased)Question
When the wolves were on Dragonmount, who were they there to “lend strength to”—Rand or Perrin?Brandon Sanderson
They were there for Rand. They were doing what they thought would help Rand. Keep in mind that they are wolves and are not thinking as men would when it comes to the idea of helping others.Tags

Tor Q&A with Brandon Sanderson (Verbatim)tamyrlink ()
The second time Perrin needed to be there for Rand, did that occur on Dragonmount in Tel'aran'rhiod?Brandon Sanderson ()
RAFO.Footnote
Brandon confirmed that this scene from Towers of Midnight was not the fulfillment of Min's viewing concerning Perrin and Rand (from Lord of Chaos Chapter 46).Tags

Interview: Aug 31st, 2011
Reddit AMA 2011 (Verbatim)Matt Hatch ()
We see the know that Dragonmount was created when Lews Therin killed himself. I've always thought this to be 100% an effect of the way he killed himself, but now I'm doubting that to be the whole story. In his death, did Lews Therin's connection to the Land as the Dragon affect the earth in any way? Did his connection contribute to any of the destruction after his death, or even the creation of Dragonmount?Brandon Sanderson
His connection was an influence, but not the primary one. He really did build Dragonmount with the Power.Tags

Interview: Nov 11th, 2011
Alloy of Law Signing Report - Wetlandernw (Paraphrased)forkroot
Min has said that Perrin would need to be there for Rand twice to save him from something very bad. Assuming Dumai's Wells was the first time (which BWS confirmed), was Perrin's presence in Tel'aran'rhiod at Dragonmount during Rand's time there the second time? Or, in another phrasing, has the second time happened yet?Brandon Sanderson
No, that was not it. We have not yet seen the second time, but we will. (In other words, it's coming in A Memory of Light.)Tags

Alloy of Law Signing Report - Loialson (Verbatim)Loialson
Is the glow in Rand's head that Nynaeve sees upon delving Rand linked to the nature of him being ta'veren, or because of the nature of him being the Dragon?Brandon Sanderson
(laughs) I'm gonna RAFO that one.Tags

Interview: May, 2012
A Memory of Light Cover Art Round-Up (Verbatim)Terez
The tor.com post about the Whelan art is copied in full and parsed for tagging, but there are some plot-relevant bits from a friend of Whelan's in the comments that are recorded at the bottom, and I've clipped the relevant bit about the DKS art from Tor's tribute post.Irene Gallo
The scene depicts Min, Aviendha, and Elayne gathered on a battlefield around what is presumably a funeral pyre for Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn. What we recognize as a yin/yang appears in the clouds, possibly signifying a unity that has evaded male and female channelers for over 3000 years.
