Brandon Sanderson / Re: Towers of Midnight *spoilers*

He did, but it is a specific sort of twist. He compared it to Vin's earring, and he said that the first clues of it show up in books 4-6 (in one of them, or all three - he won't say). He says it's a mystery we should have picked up on when it was introduced, and that it's something that comes up often in later books.
My best bet at the moment is that it has to do with Egwene's dream about ravens sinking into the flesh of Mat's shoulders. The dream was in book six, and the significance of the tattoos is explained in book four.Quote from: guessingoI think a large part of the book will take place in Seanchen.
I say it's Birgitte's resurrection. Nynaeve saw Moghedien throw Birgitte out of Tel'aran'rhiod and we know, Nynaeve only has to see a weave done once to repeat it. She will be the one to bring Rand back to life.
It won't. RJ assured us that the story would not visit Seanchan again, and Brandon is respecting RJ's wishes on this. RJ left open a small possibility that there might be a visit comparable in length to Rand's and Aviendha's visit there in 'The Far Snows' and 'A Short Spear', but nothing any more substantial than that. He said the same about Shara.
Have you read chapter 1 yet? I think that's the most we'll get.
