Talk:Prophecy

Eventually, I want to make sure that each prophecy/viewing is also on the page of the person it refers to And a page for "Dragon Reborn"

This prophecy is from ToM not sure where to put it. Didn;t pout it on Rand's page either because I only saw Min's visions on there and no prophecies. "I see him before you! Him, the one who lives many lives, the one who gives deaths, the one who raises mountains. He will break what he must break, but first he stands here, before our king. You will bloody him! Measure his restraint. He speaks! How was the fallen slain? Tellindal Tirraso, murdered by his hand, the darkness that came the day after the light. You must ask, and you must know your fate. If he cannot answer then you will be lost. You will bring his end swiftly, so that the final days may have their storm. So that Light may not be consumed by he who was to have preserved it. I see him. And I weep." It's from ToM51

Probably on the "Dragon Reborn" page, which at the moment redirects to Rand, but eventually could be its own page

Might also be a good idea to have a "fulfilled prophecies" page, or at least on the individual pages, list which ones have been fulfilled

Toral, I'm willing to work on the prophecies, but I think they need to be reorganized. I would rather suggest getting rid of the fulfilled / unfulfilled pages, and base the pages on the different themes (Dreamings, Foretellings, ...), adding just a category for fulfilled / unfulfilled (err I hope it makes sense !!) ~

Well, there are already pages for all the individual types. The unfulfilled made more sense before AMoL was published, as it was a quick way of seeing which characters had things still to happen to them. Now that there are no longer any more books to come, any unfulfilled will stay unfulfilled. I don't know how a category for unfulfilled would work however, as it would require a page for each prophecy/vision.

Some of the organisation is for historical reasons, so a complete re-write of Fortellings could have all the foretelling based prophecies on one page, rather than several as they are now, but it could be quite a long page and would break a lot of the links we have, though that is something that can be fairly easily fixed


I did a minor re-organisation of the page, to move unfulfilled to the end.

The Prophecies of the Dragon/Karaethon Cycle cycle page is very dated and IMO in serious need of re-organisaiton.


Excellent thanks. If you want to leave it as a Karaethon cyucle page, that is fine, but if you want to combine it with other Dragon prophecis, such as the Essanik cycle, or just a Foretllings page I can accept that.--Toral, Department Director and subsupreme overlord 16:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC) OK, I'll start working on this one first. ~ Isarma

Update --Toral, Archivist and Supreme overlord (talk) 06:44, 24 December 2021 (PST) Some were also fulfilled off screen - Sarene's affair for example, we don't see, but the Companion says it happens. Others, were fulfilled in really weird ways - Mi had vision of Carlinya with a raven floating near her, which Min thought was a tattoo, but she was killed by the Black Ajah - so it wasn't the obvious "captured by the Seanchan", but "killed by the Shadow"
