History WMG / TheWheelOfTime

* AMOL Spoilers: [[spoilers: Jossed, since Bela dies in the Last Battle. Sorry guys.]]

* AMOL Spoiler: [[spoiler:Swordfight yes, but it's not especially epic, and no magic hand is involved]]

* AMoL spoiler: [[spoiler:I was right, bitches! Haven't gotten to the end yet to see how it's used, though...]]

** two more trilogies actually, the Mistborn series is conceived as a "trilogy of trilogies" as he put it. There's also a novel coming out in Novwember that wasn't originally planned but just kind of happened (it was originally a short story).

[[WMG: The Ways Will Be Used To Move Troops To The Blight]]

What if after he initially created the world, the creator decided that he wanted to do it over, but had cut himself off of it? When mankind created the Bore, it let him in, but was still not enough to [[ApocalypseHow simply Retgone unmake it]]. This would also tie to the True Power, in that it would be similar, but is channeling the [[CastFromLifespan life force]] [[CastFromHitPoints of the Dark One/Creator]].

* Well, Rand (who knew all the Forsaken as Lews Therin Telamon) believes that Moridin is Ishamael, though I suppose that could be a deliberate false lead on either the Dark One's or Moridin's part. Also, Asmodean died a traitor- why would the Dark One ''want'' him back, much less in a position of authority? He even seemed somewhat ''repentant'' at the end, while the DO has always favored the CompleteMonster.

* There already large numbers of Dragonsworn long before Masema got his Prophet on. They just started flocking around him because he was a direct connection to the Lord Dragon. Additionally he tended to attract a certain kind of people. The kind you wouldn't like to meet. Ever. So it's less Compulsion and more monsters being attracted by a CompleteMonster.

Note that this would also explain why the Creator is so absent in the series: the Creator is just another human being and, well, he has a life! He doesn't want to spend all his days watching over that BigBad he defeated centuries ago. Heck, he may well be dead by now, and he died in peace, knowing that he'd saved the world from such a [[CompleteMonster horrible monster]]. Those little figments of imagination in his 'creation' can take care of themselves. After all, it's not as if they're ''real'' or anything...

* There are certainly a lot of similarities there, yeah. Though channelers in general strike me as being more like the Dragon-blooded (though I'd imagine the Aes Sedai wouldn't like being called that), what with it being an inherited thing based around ElementalPowers. Presumably the Aelfinn & Eelfinn are [[TheFairFolk Raksha]] of some sort - the AlienGeometries in their dimension wouldn't be too unusual in the Wyld. And maybe the Dark One is what you get if [[CompleteMonster the Ebon Dragon]] dies and becomes a [[OmnicidalManiac Neverborn]].

[[WMG: BattlestarGalactica, {{Dune}}, StarWars, TheTerminator, and Literature/TheWheelOfTime all take place in the same universe.]]

BattlestarGalactica:

It's clear the Dark One is not stupid. If he really wanted to escape he'd have picked out more competent leaders. Instead, he picked people who are excellent sources of [[DwarfFortress fun]]. He doesn't want them to succeed so much as fail entertainingly.

TheWheelOfTime:

** Of course, these are all just manifestations of the on going chess game between the [[{{Babylon5}} Vorlons and the Shadows.]]

[[WMG:All {{Fiction}} exists in the same universe as WheelOfTime]]

[[WMG: The Dark One is really a member of the Dai Gurren Brigade of TengenToppaGurrenLagann]]

** It was also Liandrin and her coven who came up with the idea to free Mazrim Taim, presumably while they were at the Stone so that Be'lal would have known about it. He pulled Alviarin into the World of Dreams (an unnecessary act since Mesaana and Lanfear had already dispatched the coven and the Supergirls to Tear as bait for the trap for Rand)--perhaps to send the Black Ajah to free Taim? In which case perhaps the real Taim was the impostor sent in to get ''Callandor'', and whom Moiraine balefired. Then she gets knocked out, Ishamael chases Rand into the World of Dreams, and Be'lal makes a VillainExitStageLeft, using the info he got from Taim to [[KillAndReplace assume]] [[GrandTheftMe his]] [[DeadPersonImpersonation identity]] with a Mirror of Mists. ''Or''...he actually did get balefired, but because the amount was so small (Moiraine could only burn a thread back by "a few seconds", and Jordan said the Dark One could resurrect someone killed by balefire if the amount was small) the Dark One was able to catch his soul in time. Then he was put into Taim's old body, or a new Saldaean one. And Be'lal being another guy who hated and envied Lews Therin would explain all the things about Taim that made him seem to be Demandred...unless [[XanatosGambit Be'lal was imitating Demandred on purpose]], [[RedHerring to throw both Rand and the readers off]]...

Rand's been in his head since they [[CrossingTheStreams crossed the streams]], and even the insane, nihilistic Rand's mind was so nice compared to his own that it was distracting him from doing his job properly. Just imagine what effect Jesus!Rand's brain must be having on him -- he probably hasn't slept properly in weeks. Rand would still ''indirectly'' be the one responsible.
