Sea Folk Raker
Prophecy by Min Farshaw
“Ananda; she was Yellow Ajah- wore a sickly brown halo, shriveled and split by rotting fissures that fell in and widened as they decayed. The small fair-haired Aes Sedai beside Ananda was Green Ajah; by her green-fringed shawl. The White flame of Tar Valon on it showed on it for a moment when she turned her back. And on her shoulder, as if nestled among the grape vines and flowering apple branches worked on her shawl, sat a human skull. A small woman’s skull, picked clean and sun-bleached. The third, a plumply pretty woman halfway around the room, wore no shawl...She seemed to be casting cool blue eyes on the petitioners through a tattered curtain of blood, crimson streamers running down her face.(18)... Another Accepted came to replace one already there, and to Min’s eyes bars floated in front of her apple-cheeked face, like a cage...the read-haired Aes Sedai’s (Sheriam) face seemed battered and bruised...The Brown sister was smiling, too, but her aura faded like a guttering candle flame. Death. Wounds, captivity, and death(20)... Nearly everyone she saw as she climbed higher wore an image or aura that spoke to her of violence and danger...They seemed to have bloody faces, or gaping wounds...Their aura’s flashed wildly, flickered on the knife edge of death. An Aes Sedai...appeared to have chains in the air around her, another...seemed for most of those few strides to wear a silver collar around her neck (21)... For a moment the Keeper had been looking through a transparent mask of her own face, a screaming mask (27)... Siuan Sanche was standing there as regal as any queen, and for a moment she was also lying on the floor naked.(28)
- Chapter 1, Seeds of Shadow pgs 18-28
The prophecies are all related to the tower breaking. Siuan and Leane getting stilled. The Seanchan seems a little random, but it points to the return of the Seanchan.
Prophecy by Min Farshaw
“Streaks of dried blood had made his face a grim mask...But Gawyn was someone she knew, someone she like, and he was going to be hurt more than the blood told, hurt somehow deeper than wounds to his flesh(22)...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 green rather than the red of Andor. Both sword and banner faded with blood.(25)”
- Chapter 1, Seeds of Shadow pgs 22,25
It prophecizes the tower breaking and the words that Min will say to Gawyn that sets the decision of killing Egwene or kneeling to her. The sword has the suggestion of being Rand’s but I tend to think it is Gawyn’s sword because he will be a warder. It could symbolize both. Gawyn’s banner has a green background maybe because Elayne’s Ajah is green or because of Egwene. When he becomes Egwene's Warder he will change his banner to green. He will shed much blood and cause much pain because of his alliances.
Prophecy by Min Farshaw
“The first time I saw Rand, I saw three women’s faces, and one of them was mine. I’ve never seen anything about myself before or since, but I knew what it meant. I was going to fall in love with him. All three of us were.”
- Chapter 1, Seeds of Shadow pg. 33
Elayne, Aviendha, and Min will fall in love with Rand.
Prophecy by Elaida a’Roihan
“The very first thing Elaida had ever Foretold, while still an Accepted- and had known enough even then to keep it to herself- that the Royal Line of Andor would be key to defeating the Dark One in the Last Battle.”
- Chapter 1, Seeds of Shadow pg. 37
Rand is the son of the former daughter-heir of Andor and has a mutual love with Elayne current daughter-heir. Gawyn is in love with Egwene and he could also be instrumental in the Last Battle which Elaida doesn’t consider. Elayne is a key point behind Rand and helping the Little Tower.
Dreamt by Egwene al’Vere
“Rand as tall as a mountain, walking through cities, crushing building beneath his feat, with screaming people like ants fleeing from him. Rand in chains, and it was him screaming. Rand building a wall with him on one side and her on the other, her and Elayne and others she could not make out. “It has to be done,” he was saying as he piled up stones. “I’ll not let you stop me now.”... She dreamed of Aiel fighting each other, even throwing away their weapons and running as if they had gone mad. Mat wrestling with a Seanchan woman who ties an invisible leash to him. A wolf- she was sure it was Perrin, though - fighting a man whose face kept changing. Galad wrapping himself in white as though putting on his own shroud, and Gawyn with his eyes full of pain and hatred. Her mother (Marin) weeping.”
-Chapter 11, What Lies Hidden pg. 207
Rand will bring destruction through the world. Rand in Chain = unknown, it could be Rand being bound by the male a'dam. Rand is trying to cutting himself off from the people he loves. The Aiel are following Rand and fight each other and can’t handle the fact they followed the Way of the Leaf. Mat is wrestling with the Daughter of the Nine Moons, the leash might be marriage, but it is known he will marry her. Perrin is fighting Lord Luc the Slayer (Isam). Galad turns to the Whitecloaks. Gawyn is in pain because he thinks that Rand killed his mother. Marin is crying because of the Whitecloaks in Emond’s Field.
Prophecy by the People of the Twist Doorway Ter’angreal in Tear
“You (Mat) must go to Rhuidean....If you do not go to Rhuidean you will die...You will have sidestepped the thread of fate, left your fate to drift on the winds of time, and you will be killed by those who do not want that fate fulfilled...To marry the Daughter of the Nine Moons! To die and live again, and live once more a part of what was! To give up half the light of the world to save the world! Go to Rhuidean, son of battles! Go to Rhuidean, trickster! Go, gambler! Go!”
- Chapter 15, Into the Doorway pg. 253
He has to gain the memories in Rhuidean to servive till the last battle. The Daughter of the Nine Moons in the the daughter of the Seanchan Empress. He dies and lives again when he is hung and saved from death or when the balefire kills him and then Rand kills Rahvin with balefire and Mat is alive again.
Prophecy by Min Farshaw
“A flaring halo around his (Logain's) head, radiant in gold and blue...So why had he worn a halo that shouted of glory and power.”
- Chapter 17, Deceptions pg. 284
The glory will come from helping Rand and probably help in the Last Battle.
What Mat receives from the People of the Twist Doorway Ter’angreal in Rhuidean
“I (Mat) would want those holes filled, but at least answers to my questions might fill some in my future. I want a way to be free of Aes Sedai and the Power, and I want to be away from you and back in Rhuidean.”
- Chapter 17, Rhuidean pg. 402
That is why he remembers all those battles and why he has a ter’angreal that stops channeling
Dreamt by Perrin Aybara
“Rand stood amid swirling stormwinds, laughing wildly, even madly, arms upraised, and on the winds rode small shapes, gold-and-scarlet, like the strange figure on the Dragon banner; hidden eyes watched Rand, and there was no telling whether he knew it... Nynaeve and Elayne stalked cautiously through a demented landscape of twisted, shadowed buildings, hunting some dangerous beast... Mat, standing where a road forked ahead of him. He flipped a coin, started down one branch, and a staff bearing a short sword blade... Egwene and another woman with long white hair were staring at him in surprise while behind them the White Tower crumbled stone by stone.”
- Chapter 28, To the Tower of Ghenjei pg. 458
He will use the People of the Dragon (Aiel). Lanfear is probably watching Rand as well as the Wise One Dreamers. Nynaeve and Elayne are hunting the Black Ajah in Tarabon. Mat went through the ter’angreal to avoid a fate of permanent death (hence the staff with short sword and hat). Egwene is with Amys learning to dream while the tower is falling apart (the rebellion).
Prophecy by Min Farshaw
“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.”
- Chapter 47, The Truth of a Viewing pg. 786
Gawyn is torn between his love for Egwene and his mother(because he thinks that Rand killed his mother). He is also torn because of Egwene’s and Elayne’s association with Siuan Sanche.
Dreamt by Perrin Aybara
“Egwene stood among a crowd of women, fear in her eyes; slowly the women knelt around her. Nynaeve was one of them, and he believed he saw Elayne’s red-gold hair... Mat stood naked and bound, snarling; an odd spear with black shaft been thrust across his back behind his elbows, and a silver medallion, a foxhead, hung on his chest...(Rand) He wore rags and a rough cloak, and a bandage covered his eyes.”
- Chapter 53, The Price of Departure pg. 882
Egwene is to be raised Amyrlin and the Aes Sedai will bow to her. Just a picture of Mat after he got out of the ter’angreal. It seems that Rand will rot eventually, but since he has cleansed the source it must a disguise of some sort?.
