I posted this reply on Dragonmount awhile back, and it fits pretty well here :D

Rand is going to say something along the lines of "It's time to finally finish my journey" and travel to Tar Valon with a bunch of Aiel and Ashaman and make Elaida swear fealty.

2. Kill Alvairin(spelling?)

I'm pretty sure that, given the chance, she would kill her.

It's just that, at current, her going missing might seem a bit suspicious on Elaida's part. (and she wants her to suffer)

Elaida is a fool, and I believe her biggest mistake was capturing Egwene.  Egwene is going to take the tower from her through sheer force of will.  She is already turning the Novice and Accepted, and she had some Aes Sedai on her side as well.  Meanwhile, the rebel Aes Sedai are going to begin bonding with the good Ash'man, while all the red sisters who went to see Taim are screwed.

Something I have noticed:  With all the searching for men who can channel that's been going on, they haven't found any Aiel.  I know the ones with the spark go into the blight to die fighting the shadow, but some of those who can learn to channel must exist.

I doubt any of the Asha'man have dared to show up in an Aiel camp asking for volunteers, even if they thought to try.  I think their recruiting effort has been directed almost entirely towards civilian populations in the Wetlands.

Elaida isn't a fool. Her ability to bring down Siuan proves that she has a head. She's just ambitious and misguided.

She is proud, arrogant, prejudiced, utterly blind to the possibility she could ever be wrong, and wrong.  The combination leads to quite a number of very stupid acts with no signs of change, ever.

Perhaps if she was put in her place, shown the greater power of her superiors, and given orders she could be put to some use.…

Some of those actions she took because Alvarin said to take them even if she didn't think they were a good idea. Until eventually she had the idea that perhaps Alvarin was BA and then picked out some AS to sniff out the BA.

I am truly happy Brandon Sanderson was picked to finish Amol otherwise i wouldn't ever have been introduced to him! I mean this is the best publicity an author could ever dream of (in this genre atleast). And while i believe the Jim Rigney was the modern Tolkien, I must say thand Brandon is much more original, i tell all the nerds willing to listen about him becaus of it. I love his works, especially the magic systems.

On a different note Rand is one big fool, and i love him for it! He's so human and is in a constant developmental process, his mistakes make him my favorite of all the characters.

Actually, Elaida was just trying to get Alviarin in trouble for countermanding her orders. The Aes Sedai she went to, Pevara, thought Elaida was trying to imply a search for the Black Ajah without saying it. Of course, Alviarin should get caught in both cases.

Yeah I guess your right it's more like Elaida is pulling a homer, catching the crook without actually trying to catch one. I am hoping for some public trails of Black Ajah's and Forsaken I so want to see some executions *heh*

But doesn't Alavrin imply that Eldia might know that she is indeed black ajah when she excepts the punishment to become accepted again... Just a thought
