Min's viewing of Rand's future.
Min Farshaw's ability to discern elements of the future has led to a wealth of foreshadowing↗ as to what could happen next. Below is a collected list of Min's viewings, both completed and yet unresolved.
Completed[]
The Eye of the World[]
Rand al'Thor, Matrim Cauthon, Perrin Aybara, Egwene al'Vere, Thomdril Merrilin, Moiraine Damodred, Lan Mandragoran:
Sparks swirling around you, thousands of them, and a big shadow, darker than midnight. The sparks are trying to fill the shadow, and the shadow is trying to swallow the sparks. You are all tied together in something dangerous.
- All these characters are all tied together in fighting the Shadow. This is also a reference to how much of the Shadow's resources are aimed directly at them, and how aware of their current location the Shadow is; Min is only able to see the sparks and shadows when they are together, until Rand runs into Padan Fain, during which he extracts a promise not to reveal to anyone the fact that he survived the attack on Winternight, and gets the name of the inn they are staying in. It is immediately upon returning to the inn that Min draws Rand aside and tells him that she can see the sparks and shadow around any of them now, and not merely when they are all together.
To Rand:
Egwene's part of it. You're in love with her. She loves you, too, but she's not for you, or you for her. Not the way you both want. When I look at her, I see the same as when I look at Mistress Alys. She won't refuse it.
- Egwene and Rand amiably broke their unofficial pairing, their feelings for eachother more alike to brother and sister.[1] Egwene became Aes Sedai and fell in love with Gawyn Trakand who she later bonded and married. Rand captured the hearts of Min, Elayne Trakand, and Aviendha, and later was bonded to them.
Thom:
A man — not him — juggling fire, and the White Tower.
The juggling fire could possibly be referring to Mat learning the secrets of gunpowder. It could also mean Thom's nephew Owyn, taken by the White Tower to be gentled; but since Min's viewings are always of the future, this seems highly unlikely.
Perrin:
A wolf, and a broken crown, and trees flowering all around Perrin.
- Elyas Machera showed Perrin how to talk to wolves. In The Shadow Rising, Perrin marries Faile Bashere, cousin to Queen Tenobia Kazadi of Saldaea - and the symbol of Saldaea is a broken crown. Trees flowering could represent the death of Perrin's family and refer to the trees at the Aybara farm during his return during The Shadow Rising. Another possibility is that it refers to the Bashere house sigil being three red kingspenny blossoms, "forever in bloom."[2] This would refer to Perrin gaining Saldaean authority through his marriage to Faile, who became Queen of Saldaea[3] following the deaths of Tenobia and Davram Bashere in the Last Battle.
Mat:
A red eagle, an eye on a balance scale, a dagger with a ruby, a horn, and a laughing face.
- The red eagle is the symbol for Manetheren, of which Mat has memories, and could also be referencing the "old blood". He took a Ruby-hilted dagger from Shadar Logoth, and sounded the Horn of Valere at Falme.[4] The meaning of the laughing face could be in reference to the fact he finds the dice rattling in his skull akin to laughter, or perhaps it is referring to the mask that Balthamel used to wear. The eye on the balance scale refers to Mat's final trip to the land of the Finn in which he sacrifices his eye to save the life of Moiraine, which also fulfills the statement that he would "give up half the light of the world to save the world." Moiraine was one of the people to seal the Dark One's prison, saving the world.
To Rand:
A sword that isn't a sword, a golden crown of laurel leaves, a beggar's staff, you pouring water on sand, a bloody hand and white-hot iron, three women standing over a funeral bier with you on it, black rock wet with blood, lightning around you, some striking at you, some coming out of you. You and I will meet again.
- The sword is Callandor, and the crown is the Crown of Swords.
- The beggar's staff is a reference to his unexpected trip to Ebou Dar, planning to attack the Seanchan there but first surveying it in the disguise of a stooped beggar with a staff.
- Rand caused rain in the Aiel Waste at the end of The Shadow Rising. It also may refer to an Aiel prophecy:
He shall spill out the blood of those who call themselves Aiel as water on sand.[5]
- The bloody hand would refer to Rand losing his left hand when he was attacked by Semirhage with fire.[6] The white-hot iron may refer to the heron-mark left by the hot sword on his hand, after fighting Ba'alzamon at Falme.
- The funeral bier with the three women was fulfilled when Elayne, Min and Aviendha stood over Rand's funeral pyre after the Last Battle.
- The black rock wet with blood is a reference to the Karaethon Cycle. It says "Red on black, the Dragon’s blood stains the rock of Shayol Ghul." The lightning likely refers to fighting with the One Power. It could also refer to his fight with the Seanchan, where he uses Callandor to make a lightning storm which beats the Seanchan, but also strikes his army. They do indeed meet again and become practically inseparable.
Lan:
Seven ruined towers around Lan's head, and a babe in a cradle holding a sword.
- The Seven Towers refers to Malkier. Lan avenged Malkier and the events of the Last Battle resulted in Malkier being freed of the Blight and likely re-established as a kingdom. It has been speculated that the babe in the cradle refers to Lan's past, but Jordan stated that Min's viewings always refer to the future, not the past.[verify][7] This most likely refers to his future child with Nynaeve.
She's part of it, right along with the rest of you...The sparks, Rand. She met Moiraine coming in, and there were sparks, with just the two of them. Yesterday I couldn't see sparks without at least three or four of you together, but today it's all sharper, and more furious. You're all in more danger today than yesterday. Since she came.
- This indicates that Nynaeve is tied up fighting the Shadow along with the rest of them.
The Great Hunt[]
Elayne:
She will have to share her husband with two other women and she will be a queen. A severed hand, not hers.
- Elayne does indeed become Queen of Andor, and shares Rand with Min and Aviendha. The severed hand seems to be Rand's. It may also refer to her half-brother Galad's attempts to defeat Demandred in AMoL and losing his hand.
- This also shows that eventually Min, Elayne and Aviendha will marry Rand.
Egwene:
A white flame and other things.
- Later, Egwene became Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai.
- She later became the Amyrlin Seat for the entire White Tower.
He will always do what is right, no matter who it hurts.
- This seems to be simply a description of Galad's personality.
Galad:
He will hurt someone to serve a greater good and not even notice.
- To protect Elayne and Nynaeve, and to keep his word, Galad kills a large number of the Prophet's men in Samara. His actions also start a deadly riot.[8]
Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne:
Danger. You are all in some kind of danger. Or you will be, very soon...I think [Liandrin] has to come as much as the rest of you. The rest of us. I can see the danger around all of you more clearly, now.
- Liandrin, a member of the Black Ajah, turns the girls over to Seanchan Darkfriends to be made damane.
Egwene:
I've read you, Egwene.... I see things I am sure link you to Rand, and Perrin, and Mat, and - yes, even Galad
— Egwene is one of the primary characters, working with all four of the ones mentioned here.
Nynaeve:
A man's ring of heavy gold floated above Nynaeve's head
- Lan gives Nynaeve his signet ring as a symbol of his love.
Elayne:
... and above Elayne's, a red hot iron and an axe.
The Dragon Reborn[]
Leya:
The Tinker woman is going to die. I saw her own face floating over her shoulder, covered in blood, eyes staring.
- Leya dies during the Trolloc attack on Rand's hidden camp.
Perrin:
An Aielman in a cage. A Tuatha'an with a sword. A falcon and a hawk, perching on your shoulders. Both female, I think
- Later in the book, Perrin rescues Gaul, an Aiel, from a cage and meets Faile, whose name means 'falcon' in the Old Tongue. He meets Berelain sur Paendrag Paeron in The Shadow Rising; Berelain is the First of Mayene, and is usually represented by a hawk in prophecies. Faile and Berelain end up fighting over Perrin. Finally, in The Shadow Rising, Aram (a Tinker) takes up a sword and follows Perrin.
The Shadow Rising[]
- Min saw signs of death and suffering around several Aes Sedai, Warders, and servants; during Elaida's coup, quite a few people were killed in battle. [9]
- She saw silver collars around a few Aes Sedai. Several Aes Sedai are made damane in later books. [10] [11]
her face seemed battered and bruised.
- Sheriam is beaten by Aran'gar at the rebel Aes Sedai camp.[12]
Gawyn:
streaks of dried blood had made his face a grim mask. He was going to be wounded on the day the Aes Sedai died. He was going to be hurt more than the blood told, hurt somehow deeper than wounds to his flesh...that bloody mask again. More: a sword floated above his head, and a banner waved behind it. The long-hilted sword, like those most Warders used, had a heron engraved on its slightly curved blade, symbol of a blademaster, and Min could not say whether it belonged to Gawyn or threatened him. The banner bore Gawyn's sigil of the charging White Boar, but on a field of green rather than the red of Andor.
- Gawyn is indeed injured in the coup. The reference to being hurt "somehow deeper than wounds to his flesh" likely refers to the mental and emotional anguish he suffers in the aftermath of the Tower schism, as he and the Younglings side with Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan, eventually placing him on the opposite side from Egwene, the woman he loves. The banner would most likely refer to his leadership of the Younglings. The heron-marked sword could refer to any one of a number of instances, or to all of them. During the tower battle, Gawyn kills at least two Warders: Hammar, the arms trainer for aspiring Warders, and Coulin, Siuan Sanche's Master of Arms. Hammar was a blademaster and bore a heron-marked sword.[13][14] Though it is not explicitly stated, Coulin must have been a blademaster, too.[verify][7] Gawyn's fight with either could be a heron sword threatening him. Further, killing either would entitle Gawyn to the title of blademaster himself. In more general terms, the sword also represents his increasing proficiency as a fighter. In the Last Battle, Gawyn challenges Demandred — a blademaster — and is killed; the heron-marked sword could both belong to Gawyn and be the blade threatening him. Min's visions may also refer to his death during the Last Battle, as well as the damage he sustained from the Bloodknife ter'angreal. Gawyn's White Boar banner traditionally had a red background to represent that his first duty and allegiance is to Andor, the queen, and the Daughter-Heir; a green background could represent his turning away from his duty to Elayne to serve Egwene, who would have chosen the Green Ajah. The specific mention of the color green could also be a reference to the Last Battle (where Gawyn dies), which takes place in the Field of Merrilor - it turns bright green as plant life returns to the area when Rand steps arrives.
A transparent mask of her own face, a screaming mask.
she was lying on the floor, naked. Aside from her being in only her skin, there was something odd about the image. She has no idea what it means.
- Both are stilled later in the book, which makes their faces look subtly different.
a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come.
- At the conclusion of the Last Battle, Logain gained honor and glory for himself and the Asha'man by rescuing the commonfolk refugees from Caemlyn, much to their gratitude. One mother even promised to send her son to the Black Tower if he had the talent.[15]
- Logain subsequently broke the remaining seals of the Dark One's prison, allowing Rand to fully reseal it and earning Logain the moniker Sealbreaker.[15]
Gawyn:
Gawyn kneeling at Egwene's feet with his head bowed, and Gawyn breaking Egwene's neck, first one then the other, as if either could be the future. She had never seen that fluttering back and forth, as though not even the viewing could tell which would be the true future. Worse, she had a feeling near to certainty that it was what she had done this day that had turned Gawyn toward those two possibilities.
- This most likely represents Gawyn's continuing conflicted loyalties in the series. The first, chronologically speaking, is his choice between serving his duty to the oath he swore to Elaida in the coup, and his oath to do as Egwene wanted. The conflict is central to his character throughout the series until his defection in The Gathering Storm on believing that Elaida was going to execute Egwene. It may also refer to him ignoring Egwene's commands and causing her authority to be undermined by the Hall, or submitting to her and becoming her Warder. Lastly, this may also represent his choice in A Memory of Light, in which he must submit to Egwene's wishes and keep out of the fighting. Instead, he disobeys her and dies fighting Demandred. The severing of the Warder bond is arguably the main factor in Egwene's own death. The viewing may represent one or all of these.
The Fires of Heaven[]
Rays of silver and blue flashed about her fiery hair, and a soft golden light; Min could not say what it meant.
This was fulfilled when Sheriam was executed for being of the Black Ajah.
a silvery collar suddenly appeared, snug around the woman's neck, and as suddenly seemed to shatter. She did not like viewings connected to the Seanchan. At least Edesina would escape somehow.
- Edesina was later made damane and forced to wear the silver collar of an a'dam;[16] Mat rescued her in Winter's Heart.[17]
Carlinya: Min saw a raven, possibly a tattoo or drawing, around Carlinya Sedai. According to Maria Simons, this refers to Carlinya's death fighting the Black Ajah.[verify][7]
Siuan, Gareth Bryne:
When Bryne came in, I had a viewing. An aura, and a bull ripping roses from around its neck and... None of it matters except the aura. I didn't really understand that, but more than anything else. If you want to stay alive, you had better stay close to him. If he stays close to you, you live. If he gets too far away, for too long, you are going to die. Both of you. I don't know why I should have seen anything about you in his aura, but you seemed like part of it
- The sign of house Bryne is a bull with the rose crown of Andor around its neck, so this viewing indicated that Bryne had left his role as general of Andor to command the rebel Aes Sedai army.
- During the Seanchan attack on the White Tower, Siuan and Bryne were in the courtyard. A Bloodknife tried to kill Siuan, but Bryne killed him first. Siuan then healed Bryne of a deadly poison that the Bloodknife had given him right before Bryne killed him. However, this did not mean that the prophecy was fully fulfilled, as shown when Siuan was killed in an attack during the Last Battle, and Bryne died in his Warder bond rage.
Egwene:
Those three you brought with you (Marigan, Areina Nermasiv, and Nicola Treehill) are trouble
- Nicola and Areina had tried to blackmail Egwene a number of times in order to try and advance Nicola's training as a Novice, by using the knowledge that Egwene had been masquerading as an Aes Sedai while still accepted.
- Marigan, meanwhile, was Moghedien in disguise; she tried to undermine Egwene a little bit, but did not seem to accomplish anything major during her captivity.
Elayne:
"You saw that we are going to fall in love." Min replies, "Not exactly. I saw you'd fall in love with him [Rand]. I don't know what he feels for you, only that he's tied to you in some way." "And you saw there would be someone else. Someone I'd have to...share...him with." "Two. Two others. And....And I'm one."
- Elayne and Min are indeed both in love with Rand; Aviendha is the third woman.
Lord of Chaos[]
Rand:
One of those images she had seen every time she saw him. Countless thousands of sparkling lights, like stars or fireflies, rushed into a great blackness, trying to fill it up, rushed in and were swallowed. There seemed to be more lights than she had ever seen before, but the darkness swallowed them at a greater rate, too. And there was something else, something new, an aura of yellow and brown and purple that made her stomach clench.
Aes Sedai are going to hurt you. Women who can channel, anyway. It was all confused. I'm not sure about the Aes Sedai part. But it might happen more than once. I think that's why it seemed all scrambled.
- In the last chapter, a group of Tower Aes Sedai kidnap and torture Rand until Perrin and Mazrim Taim come to the rescue.
Melaine:
You will have two daughters. Twins like mirrors.
- Melaine is now pregnant with twins, though she has still not yet given birth.
Enaila: She saw a wreath around the Maiden of the Spear Enaila[18] representing her marriage to Leiran.[19]
Rand, Perrin:
When you two were together, I saw those fireflies and the darkness stronger than ever... But with the two of you in the same room, the fireflies were holding their own instead of being eaten faster than they can swarm, the way they do when you're alone. And there's something else I saw when you two were together. Twice he's going to have to be there, or you... If he's not, something bad will happen to you. Very bad. It will happen if he is not there, but nothing I saw said it won't because he is. It will be very bad, Rand.
- Rand on his own cannot win Tarmon Gai'don, but with Perrin's help, he stands an even chance.
- She saw that Perrin would have to save Rand's life twice. The first time occurred at the end of Lord of Chaos, when Perrin saved Rand from the loyalist Aes Sedai.
- The second occurrence came when Rand was battling the Dark One. He was vulnerable and open to an attack while linked with Moiraine and Nynaeve. Cyndane was about to exploit this to attack Rand while Perrin was placed under Compulsion and ordered to dispose of both women. Perrin broke his Compulsion, realized that he must make the choice Rand never could, and killed Cyndane by breaking her neck, thus saving Rand. Further, Perrin protected Rand from an attack by Slayer during the Last Battle.
- Also Mat, Perrin, and Rand are connected and the fireflies are lives connected to them. When all three are together, Tarmon Gai'don can be "won" as all three were needed for victory to be achieved.
Perrin:
He's found his falcon, and I wouldn't be surprised if she kills him when the hawk appears.
- Perrin was married to Faile by this point, and Berelain would later cause him considerable grief - particularly in the form of Faile's jealousy - by attempting to seduce him.
Rand, Bera Harkin, Kiruna Nachiman:
One caught Min’s eye when it flashed around both women at the same instant, brownish yellow and deep purple. The colors themselves meant nothing, but that aura made Min stop breathing.
Blood, death, the One Power, those two women and you, all in the same place at the same time.
- Later in the book, these two Aes Sedai helped save Rand from the White Tower at the battle of Dumai's Wells.
Maringil[...] was going to die by poison. [...] Colavaere [...] would die by hanging. [...] Meilan would die by the knife. The future carried a heavy toll for the High Lords of Tear. Aracome and Maraconn and Gueyam were all going to die too, bloody deaths, in battle, Min thought. She said she had never seen death so often in one group of people.
- Colavaere ordered assassinations of Maringil and Meilan during her usurpation of the Sun Throne and committed suicide rather than face Rand's sentence of exile and demotion to commoner.
- Aracome, Maraconn and Gueyam died in the battle with Seanchan.
Berelain:
I saw nothing of any use to you. Just a man in white who will make her fall head over heels.
- Berelain met Galad in Towers of Midnight, Chapter 26 and they fell precipitously in love with each other, to the extent that Berelain's normally superb self-control and ability to dissemble failed to prevent her from acting smitten, including pleading to Perrin (needlessly) for Galad's life.[20]
A Crown of Swords[]
Mazrim Taim:
Taim has blood in his past and blood in his future, but you could guess that. He's a very dangerous man.
- Taim is obviously a Darkfriend, he declared himself Dragon in the past and he tried to kill Rand after this vision.
Rand:
I saw you and another man. I couldn't make out either face, but I knew one was you. You touched, and seemed to merge into one another, and....one of you dies, and one doesn't.
- While Rand assumed that this referred to Lews Therin, it actually referred to the merging of Rand and Moridin as their respective balefire streams momentarily coincide during Rand's battle with Sammael at Shadar Logoth.
- Moridin died after swapping bodies with Rand following the resealing of the Bore.
Alanna Mosvani, Bera, Faeldrin Harella, Rafela Cindal, Merana Ambrey:
They will keep their word....I just saw these five in your hand.
- They would keep their oath of fealty to Rand. Note that Kiruna is not mentioned.
You will be punished for what happens here today, Harine, but not so much as you fear, I think. At least, one day you will be the Mistress of the Ships.
- Harine was punished for the bargain but has not yet been named Mistress of the Ships.
Darlin, Caraline Damodred:
Suddenly auras of red and white flashed around her [Caraline] and Darlin, and Min knew. The colors never seemed to matter, but she knew that they would marry- after Caraline had led him an a merry chase.
- See #Darlin
To her eyes a crown suddenly appeared on Darlin's head, a simple golden circlet with a slightly curved sword lying on its side above his brows. The king's crown he would wear one day, though of what country, she could not say. Tear had High Lords instead of a king.
- See #Darlin
....bruised hues so dark they seemed nearly black. "Don't trust that man Lady Caraline." She (Min) could not stop herself. "He will murder anyone he thinks is in his way; he'll kill for a whim, kill anybody."
- Daved Hanlon is a Darkfriend and is responsible for the murders of several other characters, notably including a woman who claimed he impregnated her. His breathing is not even affected when killing others; he doesn't consider killing anything "to get excited over."[21]
Rand:
He would almost certainly fail without a woman who was dead and gone...
- Despite speculation that this might refer to Lanfear, it refers to Moiraine, who was believed to be dead after attacking Lanfear. However, Min later admitted that she was wrong about Moiraine when confronted with the possibility of Rand's death. Combined with the Aelfinn prophecy that Matrim Cauthon would "give up half the light of the world in order to save the world" in reference to rescuing Moiraine from Sindhol, it means that Moiraine is crucial to Rand winning the Last Battle. Moiraine helps Rand seal the Dark One's prison and is instrumental in unifying the Light's leadership in signing the Dragon's Peace and settling on a plan for destroying the seals.
It's Cadsuane. She is going to teach you something, you and the Asha'man. All the Asha'man, I mean. It's something you have to learn, but I don't know what it is, except that none of you will like learning it from her. You aren't going to like it at all.
- In her conversations with Sorilea in The Path of Daggers and Verin in Winter's Heart, Cadsuane expressed intent to teach Rand "laughter and tears" She also spoke of the difference between being strong and hard.
- Rand stated that Cadsuane pushed him on the path to learning to be human again.[verify][7] Rand sent word with Naeff to the Asha'man at the Black Tower that they are men, not weapons. In general, the dispositions of Asha'man like Androl Genhald, Emarin, and Jonneth Dowtry indicate that the Asha'man will take the lesson to heart.
The Path of Daggers[]
Aside from the fact that he will marry Caraline, after she's wrung him out and hung him up to dry, all I can say is that one day he'll be a king. I saw the crown on his head, a thing with a sword on the front of it, but I don't know what country it belongs to. And, oh, yes. He'll die in bed, and she will survive him.
- In order to enlist the rebels in Tear, the Aes Sedai negotiated with them on Rand's behalf. The result was the rebels swearing to Darlin as King of Tear.
- Darlin proposed to Caraline Damodred. She has not yet accepted.
- She viewed the four Tower Aes Sedai that Verin Mathwin had compelled and saw:
She was going to bond an Asha'man as a Warder!
- She bonded Karldin Manfor.
Winter's Heart[]
Besides, those multitude of images and auras flashed by too quickly for her to make out any clearly, but she was certain they indicated more adventures than one woman could have in one lifetime. Strangely, some were connected to an ugly man who was older than she, and others to an ugly man who was much younger, yet somehow Min knew they were the same man.
- Shows that Birgitte will continue to be reborn within the Pattern along with Gaidal Cain.
Crossroads of Twilight[]
Logain's aura still speaks of glory, stronger than ever. Maybe he still thinks he’s the real Dragon Reborn.
- See #Logain
And there's something... dark... in the images I saw around Lord Davram.
- Bashere betrayed his army in the final battle due to Graendal's Compulsion. He ultimately dies in the Last Battle.
Knife of Dreams[]
Min still saw an aura of glory around him. Just how that glory was to be achieved was beyond her viewing, however.
- See #Logain
The Gathering Storm[]
Rand:
Flashes of light, darkness, shadow, signs of death, crowns, injuries, pain and hope.
- That's what the Dragon brought to the world.
Rand:
Fireflies consumed in darkness.
- Related to previous similar visions.
Rand:
Three women before a pyre.
Rand:
The towering mountain was blasted out on one side, making a jagged hole down the slope. Dragonmount? It was cloaked in dark shadows, as if shaded by clouds high above.
- In Chapter 50: Veins of Gold, Rand sat on Dragonmount while it was under cloud cover until he used and destroyed the Choedan Kal. In the epilogue, Egwene al'Vere looked upon Dragonmount bathed the first direct sunlight she had seen in weeks.
A black knife spins around Beldeine's head.
- Refers to Beldeine's death by Sharan knives.[19]
Karldin Manfor, who had followed him for so long and had been at Dumai’s Wells, died when his strength for channeling gave out and he dropped to the ground in exhaustion. Sharans fell upon him and stabbed him with their black daggers. His Aes Sedai, Beldeine, stumbled and fell moments later.
Towers of Midnight[]
Rand:
An open cavern, gaping like a mouth.
- Shayol Ghul / The Pit of Doom
Bloodstained rocks.
- As Rand entered Shayol Ghul his wound burst open again and he left footprints of blood on the rocks as he entered the cavern.
Two dead men on the ground, surrounded by ranks and ranks of Trollocs
- The aftermath of Lan and Demandred's fight where it seemed that they had killed each other amidst the Shadow and Sharan forces.
a pipe with smoke curling from it
- Rand's pipe was lit without channeling or mundane conventional methods.
Rand:
I see sunlight around you. [...] I see dark clouds, pushed away by the sunlight’s warmth.
- The Light at the Sealing of the Bore, or possibly, after Rand's epiphany on Dragonmount, his ability to hold back the unnatural storm clouds.
I see you, a brilliant white sword held in your hand, wielded against one of black, held by a faceless darkness.
- Duel between Rand and Moridin and then Rand and the Dark One.
I see trees, growing green again, bearing fruit. I see a field, the crops healthy and full.
Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs.
- Or a Fisher King effect, shown in Towers of Midnight, Chapter 1 and in Towers of Midnight, Chapter 25.
- Rand (re)gained the ability to foster rapid plant growth by singing as first shown in the meeting with the Westlands leadership at the Field of Merrilor, where he grew the huge oak trees in the middle of the field. He also used this when meeting with Fortuona. Mat noticed Rand's singing just before the nearby peach trees burst with blossoms.
I see the Two Rivers, Rand. I see an inn there with the mark of the Dragon’s Fang inlaid on its door. No longer be a symbol of darkness or hate. A sign of victory and hope.
- Refers to Mat using the ancient Aes Sedai banner to rally forces of the Light. Likely also refers to the changing attitudes towards male channelers following the actions of the Asha'man in the Last Battle (see #Logain)
I see a silver axe above that man's head. He will be a leader in the Last Battle.
- He is a military commander in Bandar Eban and probably commanded Domani troops in the Last Battle.
Other people in Bandar Eban:
That woman there—the one sulking in the shadows—she will be trained by the White Tower and become Aes Sedai. I can see the Flame of Tar Valon beside her, and I know what it means. That man over there who looks like a simple street tough? He will save her life. I know he doesn’t look like it, but he will fight. All of them will. I can see it!
- Dragonsworn and refugees that probably fought in the Last Battle.
She plans to do something dangerous today, so be careful.
- She dared to strike Rand first and was aware of the risks.
Ethenielle will soon be wed — I see that by white doves.
- Ethenielle married Kalyan Ramsin just before the Last Battle.
King Paitar of Arafel, King Easar of Shienar:
The other two have various swords, shields and arrows hovering about them. Both will fight soon. [...] It could be here, today.
- The two men did not fight "today" and instead accepted Rand as the Dragon Reborn. Soon after, they both lead their armies to fight alongside Lan Mandragoran at Tarwin's Gap.
Rand:
A glowing sword, Callandor; being gripped in a black hand. [...] "Callandor, held in a fist. The hand looks to be made of onyx."
- Moridin seizing Callandor from Rand.
Tenobia has a spear hovering over her head. Bloody, but shining in the light.
- She fought and died in the Last Battle.
A Memory of Light[]
I saw his body alone, on a field, as if dead.
- Galad was grievously wounded battling Demandred and spent a significant amount of time lying wounded and alone before being rescued.
Siuan...I saw an aura around Bryne that meant you had to stay together, or the two of you would die. It hangs above you, right now. Whatever you think you did, the viewing has not been accomplished yet. It's still there.
- Siuan was killed in an explosion during the Gray Man attack on Fortuona followed shortly by Bryne's death attacking the Trollocs in a Warder bond rage.
Unresolved[]
The Great Hunt[]
Elayne: She saw a red-hot iron and an axe around Elayne. This seems to indicate trouble at some point in the future. With the invasion of Andor via a Waygate by Shadowspawn, this viewing might have been fulfilled. Alternately, this may refer to Daved Hanlon's attack on her during the Last Battle, in which he tried to cut her open to remove her babies. Another possibility is that it refers to the Darkfriend attempt (notably involving torturer Jaq Lounalt) to rescue Lady Shiaine and the others held in the Caemlyn palace, and the injuries Elayne sustained in the process. The axe could refer to the tensions between Elayne as monarch of Andor and Perrin and Faile as leaders of the Two Rivers.
The Fires of Heaven[]
A nasty woman. You'd think, if there was any justice, she would have an unpleasant future ahead of her.
Lord of Chaos[]
You will have two daughters. Twins like mirrors.
- Melaine is still pregnant by the end of the series.[22]
I saw—No. No, it doesn’t have anything to do with you. Maybe the heat is affecting me. When I know, I always know. It must be the heat.
The Path of Daggers[]
She viewed the four Tower Aes Sedai that Verin had compelled and saw:
Beldeine: (fulfilled)
A tempestuous love affair, of all things!
One red-and-green aura spoke of honors, and fame. A huge building appeared above her head and vanished. A library she would found.
Elza Penfell: No specific viewing.
She had never seen anything really useful around that white-haired harridan.
- All five of them:
Suddenly an aura flashed, blue and yellow tinged with green, encompassing them all. And Min knew its meaning....'They will serve you, each in her fashion, Rand.".... Sorilea would serve him? Suddenly Min wondered exactly what "in her fashion" meant.
All of this should be self-explanatory.
Winter's Heart[]
Elayne:
She'll get with child from this. Two of them; a boy and a girl; both healthy and strong.
- Elayne is now pregnant and will have twins. A boy and a girl. Min forgot this viewing due to getting heavily drunk soon after she viewed it, but the children being twins was been confirmed to Elayne by Monaelle and Melfane Dawlish, although Elayne is still unaware of the gender of her children.
Aviendha:
Aviendha would have Rand's babies, too. Four of them at once! Something was odd about that, though. The babies would be healthy, but still something odd.
- At some stage she will get pregnant by Rand and have quadruplets but they all look very different and are permanently connected to the One Power according to Aviendha's vision through the glass columns in Rhuidean. Like the viewing about Elayne, Min forgot this viewing soon after it happened due to her inebriation from oosquai.
Alivia:
Rand, I like Alivia, But she is going to kill you.
Rand replies,
You said she was going to help me die... Those were your words.
- She helped Rand fake his death.
Knife of Dreams[]
Min made a sound in her throat, and the bond carried sadness so bleak it almost overwhelmed the burst of love that came with it. So. It must have been death she saw.
The Gathering Storm[]
Nynaeve kneeling over someone's corpse in a posture of grief.
Probably Rand. Possibly Alanna.
