"A person around whom
the Wheel of Time weaves all surrounding life-threads, perhaps ALL
life-threads, to form a Web of Destiny."
When Rand "died"
it was only his body as his consciousness was switched with Moridin and he lived
on in that body. Can you say
"Warg"
Excerpt from A Memory of Light:
“The song they sang was a
Borderlander funeral song. Rand led the horse through the night to get a little
closer. He peered between the tents to where three women stood around a funeral pyre.
Moridin, he thought. He’s
being cremated with full honors as the Dragon Reborn.”
All 3 Ta'veren (Rand, Mat
and Perrin) have the dream with Ba'alzamon and him breaking the backs of rats. When Rand awakes he learns that it really
came true.
Excerpt from The Eye of the World:
“You
mustn't take any mind of what you saw, now. Master Fitch is a good enough man,
though the best of you aren't any bargains. It's the folk complaining as has
him on edge, and what do they have to complain about? Would they rather find
live rats than dead ones? Though it isn't like Cirri to leave his handiwork
behind. And over a dozen? Cirri wouldn't let so many get into the inn, he
wouldn't. It's a clean place, too, and not one to be so troubled. And all with
backs broken.” She shook her head at the strangeness of it all.
The
bread and cheese turned to ashes in Rand's mouth. “Their backs were broken?”
Perrin fortell's the most
prophecies in his wolf dreams:
Rand, Mat and Perrin all
have dreams that come true.
Some influences of being Ta’veren:
One becomes ta'veren
according to the needs of the Wheel. No one is born ta'veren. Rand, Mat and
Perrin became ta'veren just before Moiraine appeared.
Mat and Perrin both want
to leave Tear but cannot because of Rand's ta'veren pull.

Mat begins to accept that
his ta'veren nature and the Pattern will do with him what they want.
Rand's ta'veren effect
causes improbable happenings when he visits Tear.
Rand's ta'veren effect
causes Bael and Jheran to mend the four hundred year old blood feud between
Shaarad and Goshien. It causes and constant stream of smaller events as well.

Excerpt from The Shadow Rising:
“There was
no guide to how they were connected, or what they were supposed to do; the
Prophecies never mentioned companions.”
The 3 were connected,
referring to Rand, Mat and Perrin, in the fact that they were all Ta’veren and
that they were all raised in the Two Rivers.

Is not the “Web of Destiny”
being woven around Daenerys, Jon Snow and Tyrion?
House Targaryen's sigil is
a three-headed dragon breathing flames, red on black. The three-headed dragon
represents the Conqueror and his two sisters, Rhaenys and Visenya. Their house words are "Fire and
Blood."

Deceased Targaryens are
traditionally cremated.
Another
trait typical to Targaryens, and one that was passed on to the cadet branch,
House Blackfyre, was the ability to have premonition-like dreams.
How I see the Ta’veren like effects
on who I believe to be the 3 current dragons.
 |
| Tyrion - Daenerys - Jon |
It doesn’t appear that Daenerys, Jon or Tyrion always had the effect they they have on others now just a few years ago.
Tyrion seems
to be being drawn to Daenerys right now.
Whose pull will be stronger Jon or Daenerys?
All 3 of my
choices for the 3 heads of the Dragon have taken on leadership roles similar to
the 3 ta’veren in the Wheel of Time.
Excerpt from
Tyrion Chapter Winds of Winter paraphrased:
“Why do the
gods keep putting me into battle?” Tyrion thinks, since he is so obviously
ill-suited for it. He remembers the
first time he ever prepared for a battle when he fought in his father’s army on
the Green Fork. This to me is
reminiscent of Mat accepting his nature as ta’veren and the Pattern doing with
him what they want. Lines up perfectly as I see Tyrion as the Mat
character also.
All three of
who I believe to be the 3 heads of the Dragon cause improbable happenings (i.e.
Daenerys causing dragon eggs to hatch, Jon creating a fragile alliance between
the Night’s Watch and the wildlings, Tyrion taking part and leading several successful
battles despite his being a dwarf).
Just like
the Dragon Reborn the Azor Ahai prophecies doesn’t mention companions or how
they were connected.

I believe
that my 3 choices are all Targaryen’s, see my blogs on the individuals in question if you haven’t
already, and that all 3 of their mothers died giving birth to
them. The mother of the Dragon Reborn,
Rand al’Thor in the Wheel of Time, also died giving birth to him.
In 273 AC, however, Lady Joanna was taken to childbed once again at Casterly Rock, where she died
delivering Lord Tywin’s second son. Tyrion, as the babe was named, was a
malformed, dwarfish babe born with stunted legs, an oversized head, and
mismatched, demonic eyes (some reports also suggested he had a tail, which was
lopped off at his lord father’s command). Lord Tywin’s Doom, the smallfolk called
this ill-made creature, and Lord Tywin’s Bane.

The Targaryen fleet was
smashed while it lay at anchor, and huge stone blocks were ripped from the
parapets and sent hurtling into the wild waters of the narrow sea. Her mother
had died birthing her, and for that her brother Viserys had never forgiven her
 |
| Viserys pissed at Daenerys yet again |
“Before,” Dany said to the
ugly Lhazareen woman, “I heard you speak of birthing songs …” “I know every
secret of the bloody bed, Silver Lady, nor have I ever lost a babe,” Mirri Maz Duur replied.

Bloody bed equals child
birth as confirmed via the conversation above
He dreamt an old dream, of
three knights in white cloaks, and a tower long fallen, and Lyanna in her bed
of blood.
Promise me, Ned, his
sister had whispered from her bed of blood. She had loved the scent of winter
roses.
Promise me, she had cried,
in a room that smelled of blood and roses. Promise me, Ned. The fever had taken
her strength and her voice had been faint as a whisper, but when he gave her
his word, the fear had gone out of his sister’s eyes.
To book readers this
suggests that Lyanna was giving birth and she had Ned promise to raise him as
his own to save his life from Robert as he could have been a challenge to his
reign as he grew older.

encouraged. Love to hear the idea’s of others. Most believe that
since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m not open to change my viewpoints
which is far from the truth. I simply look at the information presented
and go from there. If you can shine a light on another way of thinking
that opens the door to debate.
