oraine will not be rescued

Previous Categories: Moiraine: Where is She Now?

everyone seems to think Moiraine will be rescued form Finnland or whatever, and i agree that their seems to be proof for that theory, mins viewings, elaynes dreams etc.

But i think most people are discounting Caroline Damodred, who, from Min's reaction, is near identical to Moiraine. I believe she is the person in mins viewing that rand will fail without, appearing as she did just as Min was thinking about it, and also the woman that elayne dreamed of Matt and thom saving, Matt never being able to resist helping a woman and thom doing it in return for Moraines veiwing or perhaps because he feels he owes it to Moraine to save her cousin. Im not saying that it is unreasonable to believe the moiraine being rescued theory, im just saying it pays to look at all angles before coming to a conclusion about future plotlines.

(Frenzy for Tamyrlin)
i agree that people should look at all available angles, even after coming to conclusions on where they think the plot is going. Bringing Caraline Damodred into the equation is an interesting angle, but i doubt it. Min's viewing was that Rand would fail without a woman who was dead and gone, and that Min interpreted her Viewing to mean that Rand would fail without Moiraine. That's all we know of that Viewing, which leaves it open for interpretation. We don't know if the Viewing showed an image of Moiraine, or if it showed an image of a dead woman, or a symbolic image, such as Moiraine's gem or something associated with her. We don't know if what Min saw could be associated with Caraline instead of Moiraine. And Min did have viewings of Caraline while in the camp, so...

While this is an interesting idea, you are neglecting to consider the other evidence that Moiraine will be back. Granted it is all circumstantial but taken with Min's viewings gives a compelling case. I am referring to the letter that she sent to Thom, the viewing of Thom taking her gem out of a fire, her comment that she knows the face of the man she will marry and how she seems to somehow know a great deal about Thom. I think Caroline will be important. But I don't think that Rand will fail w/out her.

I do think Moiraine will come back, however the only person who could possibly take her place in Min's viewing is Cadsuane.

TITLE: Crown of Swords

CHAPTER: 19 - Diamonds and Stars

The shawl had graced Merana's shoulders for over twenty-five years when Cadsuane announced her retirement from the world, her hair already solid gray, and everyone assumed her long dead when the Aiel War erupted another twenty-five years on, but before the fighting was three months old, she reappeared, accompanied by two Warders, men long in the tooth yet still hard as iron. It was said Cadsuane had had more Warders over the years than most sisters had shoes. After the Aiel retreated from Tar Valon, she retired once more, but some said, more than half-seriously, that Cadsuane would never die so long as even a spark of adventure remained in the world.

Everyone thought of her as dead and gone, and we do know that Rand must learn something from her. She is the only other person that fit. I don't think Caroline is much more than a minor character.

**I am referring to the letter that she sent to Thom, the viewing of Thom taking her gem out of a fire, her comment that she knows the face of the man she will marry and how she seems to somehow know a great deal about Thom.**

Thom pulls Moiraine's jewel out of the fire in one of Egwene's dreams, not in a viewing.
