Knife of Dreams - SPOILERS!

Probably it will be Rand vs. Moridin. That's a pair that's faced off time and again throughout the ages. Don't really know who if anyone will take out SH. I haven't really thought too much about who's going to battle who at TG. It seems a good bet the Nynaeve will eventually finish Moghedien off though.

Nice call on Nynaeve. Although part of me wants to have Birgitte to get some payback

There was a time I thought Perrin would kill SH because of the whole "neverborn" thing. But now I'm not sure. He's gotta take down the Darkhounds somehow (ouch) I think.

Mat's role in TG seems to be "just" as overall military leader I guess. Although maybe "band Of the Red Hand" and "Hand of the Dark" means something?


Actually what puzzles me the most is that apparently neither Mat or Perrin are bound to the Horn (or even to the pattern). You'd think that the other two legs of the tripod would have important/reborn souls.

We know Myrelle will pass Lan's bond to Nynaeve as soon as they're all together.

I didn't realise she hadn't already.

I think it was done for a reason. Obviously, new people get bound to the pattern all the time and souls are reborn according to need. I think that Rand needed companions that had never been spun out before. Reborn souls seems to always follow a similiar schtick etc.

Certainly, they will both be bound to the pattern from this point forward.

I think Slayer might somehow be connected to the Darkhounds too, so that gives another reason for Perrin to take him down.

We all know Mat's big battle coming up will be smacking down the Finns. We've only been waiting for that since as far back as Book 4.

Nice call with respect to Slayer.


Yeah, the Finns. I think it will actually be Thom's time to Shine. Has anyone figured what "irno to bind" means (the riddle).

You need iron to kick their asses.

It just shows how big and sprawling this series has become. I had completely forgotten about the Slayer until he was mentioned in this thread, and I still can't remember who the Finns are.

The Aelfinn and the Eelfinn (or however they're spelled) are the snakes and foxes-the creatures that live through the twisted doorway ter'angreals. One group answered questions, the others gave Mat his ashandarei, memories, and then hung him.

Yes, they were named back in Book 4, back when they were introduced and we were told about the Tower of Ghenjei. Book 9 established that the Aelfinn are the snakes (and that by extention the Eelfinn are the foxes). They are mentioned again several times in this book, most prominently when Thom gives Mat his letter from Moiraine to read. Mat believes that the Eelfinn (and possibly the Aelfinn as well) somehow are inside his head, watching everything he does, which is something that makes him very uncomfortable.
