  1.  

    I forgot about how deeply Galad is getting with the Whitecloaks. I think his place is cleaning up that lot, not saving Cairhien.

     

     

    Moiraine has become a hero with the youngins in the Rebel Tower, and chances are she'll become one in Cairhien as well. She found the Dragon Reborn, battled more than one Forsaken, will come back from the "dead", etc. I can't see any of the other Houses offering up a better canidate.

     

    It's becoming obvious that Elayne is having issues just handling Andor. Adding another country to the mix is a bad idea. I'm sure with Moiraine sitting there staring at him Rand will ask her to just "watch over" her country for a little bit.

  2. Well, I think the options for the throne will be narrowed down to three: Galad, Caraline, and Moiraine.

     

    When Taringail married into House Trakand, he severed his chance of being Cairhien's king. This would make any solid claims Morgase's children have far weaker than Galad's. The only reason Elayne even has a claim to begin with is because she's sleeping with the Dragon Reborn.

     

    Caraline is the current High Seat of House Damodred and semi-buddies with the Dragon. However, she seems stuck to the hip of that big nosed Tairen, so until he gets himself killed I don't think she'll be in the running, really. More likely she'll simply support which ever Damodred has the best chance of getting the crown.

     

    Then there is Moiraine. She ran away from the throne 20 years ago (oh! foreshadowing), but in current times she'd have less excuses. And less places to run away to. They would probably have to push her into the job, but that'll just make her a better queen! Besides, she needs something to do besides stare at Thom.

     

    And now you all may tear apart my reasonings.

  3. I think I liked KoD because it made me fall in love with Thom. Although I disliked the knowledge that he had been sleeping around while he knew Moiraine was waiting in a dingy tower for him to rescue her. I can't find the spot where Mat thinks about how Thom isn't drinking anymore. Unless I made that up.

  4. Well, there isn't much to say about. :? Although before anyone asks, Moiraine is sans kesiera because she doesn't wear it while travelling the Taren. So there you go! Oh, and I did plan on coloring it, but that's not easy without a tablet. :P

  5. Well, since I've started rereading the series I thought I'd ask which of the books you prefer and why?

     

    Mine's is probably a toss up between Eye of the World and Knife of Dreams. I like Eye because back then most of the characters were still likable and it moves a heck of a lot faster. I like Knife because

    Momo's letter, duh.

     

  6. Well, it's not the stone's name. That's what the jewelry as a whole is called. A kesiera is the proper name for the head-jewelry Cairhienin noblewomen wear. The stone Moiraine has is just a pretty blue stone, nothing special in and of itself.
