So what do you guys think? Will "The Last Battle" really be the final battle with the Dark One? Or do you think the cyclical nature of the Wheel of Time will override the prophecies.

I contend that the Wheel of Time does not exist!

It's only the "last" battle if the DO wins.

It will be the last battle for this revolution of the wheel.  Following this will be an era of chaos and everyone running around for a while, then they will forget about saidin and saidar (less and less people are able to channel in the current time, so eventually none will, its kind of like a balancing tool, channlers).  After that society will muck along for a while, they will rediscover the power, have a new age of legends, drill a hole in the dark ones prison, etc etc etc. Rinse and repeat.

It is a last battle, but not the last battle.  "there are neither beginnings nor endings to the turnings of the wheel of time"

*nods*

It's not THE last battle but it is A last battle.  I think I remember reading sometimes he wins, sometimes he looses, sometimes he even joins the dark one. .. Being silly now...maybe it's OUR history.. and the talent of channeling itself was lost.  Maybe some of us have the potential but no way to tap it!! *nods*

That's an interesting thing to think about!!! But that is only thinking without a clue.. :look

I think we're all llamas in denail. *nods*

it's not just A last battle, but The last battle, again.

 

Yeah.  8)

Round and round the wheel spins!

Where it stops, nobody knows!

A WOT-related thread?

 

BLASPHEMY!

what?  WoT?  I thought we were talking about wheels and battles.  ???

Oh we are

 

Nice round wheels

 

lalala

*busts any present wheels*

 

Not round anymore!

 

>.<

NOOOOOOOOO!

 

It shall be the last!

Because WoT is over!

:(

 

Noooes!

That's somewhat uncharacteristic of the dark lord, though >.>

I figured he would be making chains too...

But out of intestines...

 

How bloody! : o
