In Chapter 22 of LOC, Mat and Vanin come upon a group of Tinkers that had been killed but that had left a message:

 

"Tell The Dragon Reborn."

 

What was this all about? Did RJ ever say? Has anyone ever asked Brandon Sanderson? Is there a 'Theories Thread' somewhere on this? Ideas?

"Tell the Dragon Reborn... He will die at the Last Battle if Elayne has his children."

 

 

Whoops.

Problem with the "trying to turn Rand against the Aiel" theory is that, because of the splintered Shaido, it just doesn't make sense. Anyone seeing a supposed Aiel massacre is probably going to think "damn Shaido" but it's not going to turn people against the rest of the Aiel.

 

I've never seen a satisfactory theory for this. I think it's one of those things people tend to forget. Every time I reread book 6 I wonder "what is that all about?" and promptly forget all about it two chapters later.

tell the dragon reborn that "The Song" is IN saidin.....

 

sorry if you don't know about the song of saidin theory. totally not in the mood to go typing that much but it has to do with saidin "singing" to rand when he was first learning to channel. i think it was doing that to the other asha man recruits too. maybe it goes away with the taint or long channeling. and also i remember something about aiel men who sang the song in rands rhuiddien trip. can't remember the specifics. sorry don't have the books and it's not my theory.

 

but that's my guess

Thanks for the responses, all, but I think I figured it out! ... I think it was meant to be:

 

 

 

''Tell The Dragon Reborn...DON'T EAT THE BEANS!!!''
