Forsaken, Shayol Ghul

Robert Jordan has spoken...

May I ask you what makes a Forsaken Forsaken, or Chosen?

Well, many people had sworn their souls to the Dark One. To be one of the Chosen, is to be someone who is recognized by the Dark One as having enough potential to be brought to Shayol Ghul to swear this oath personally, as close to being in the presence of the Dark One as is possible, with the prison partially sealed up.
