Nice to see some activity again here these last few weeks. I'd like to
throw in a topic myself :)
Lots of people assume a big battle, "the" final unique and only battle,
will occur in Shayol Ghul, up in the wastelands. Why's that? Who's
going to act first, the DO or Rand ?
It seems to me that having the battle over there would mean that all
those armies from all over randland would have assembled and travelled
all that way without the DO or his goons noticing, and taking them by
surprise. How likely is that? It's the DO who's been striking most of
the time, with Rand merely defending himself, who do you think will
strike first in the final battle?
Who has more information about the other? The godlike DO and his
foresaken, or Rand and his friends?
If the argument is that the bad guys would prefer to fight there because
the DO's presence is strong there and he can help them, isn't it likely
that a couple of extra locks holding the DO will break and allow him to
manifest himself somewhere other that SG where the big battle would take
place?
And knowing they'll all unite against him (the DO), wouldn't he attempt
to strike them all separately before they all get together in one place?
