In TEoTW Elaida supposedly had a foretelling. She said "'This I
Foretell, and swear under the Light that I can say no clearer. From
this day Andor marches toward pain and division. The Shadow has yet
to darken it's blackest and I cannot see if the Light will come after.
Where the world has wept one tear, it will weep thousands. This I
Foretell'....'This too I Foretell. Pain and division will come to the
whole world, and this man [Rand]stands at the heart of it.'" yet in
ACoS Elaida had yet another Foretelling. "Suddenly the Foretelling
took hold of her, a certainty about things she could not see stronger
than if they had been laid out in front of her.....'The White tower
will be whole again, except for remnants cast out and scorned, whole
and stronger than ever......this I Foretell'. As usual, the
Foretelling left her trembling, gasping for breath." That implies
that every time she foretold something, she was trembling and gasping,
yet in TEoTW she did not. she simply told them what she Foretold.
Was she lying? Or was that simply a mistake? Nicola is suddenly
taken hold of and so was Elaida in ACoS, yet in TEoTW she got the
Foretelling when she wanted a young man questioned for entering the
palace, yet her words were true. What happened?
