Question	Action
It seems that Elaida, leading the Sitters who arrest Siuan Sanche, must be a Sitter herself, yet she was just a few months returned from her position in Caemlyn. Was she actually a Sitter and if so when was she raised? Can you also clarify her change of heart on the Black Ajah from warning the three girls about them in The Dragon Reborn to violently denying their existence in later books?	See Answer
Hawkwing says they follow the banner and the Dragon. Moiraine says the Heroes will follow whoever winds the Horn. Was Moiraine wrong?	See Answer

The Prophecies of the Dragon are a fairly sized book. Do the prophecies of the Sea Folk, the "Jendai Prophecy", have a similar size, or is it much smaller? And who or what is or was "Jendai"?	See Answer
Were the Dragon Banner and the Horn of Valere made at the same time?	See Answer
How about the food going bad in Bandar Eban? Was that caused by Rand being nearby with his cloud of evil?	See Answer
Hello, RJ. Just out of curiosity, do your predictions (Foretellings and Min's viewings) have a well, Delphic quality by accident, or by choice? And did you ever think of writing a copy of the Prophecies of the Dragon?	See Answer
Are there any dragons (like real dragons (animals)) in Rand's world? If not where did they get the idea of dragons?	See Answer
Was the Horn of Valere known and used in the Age of Legends? Or did it only appear in the Third Age?	See Answer
Before it became public knowledge that Rand was the Dragon Reborn, did Tam al'Thor know or suspect that Rand was the Dragon Reborn or could channel?	See Answer
My question has a few parts. When Perrin left the Two Rivers did he tell people who he was going to see? Did Rand's father come? Does he know about Rand being the Dragon Reborn?	See Answer
Is [the Dragon] soul born in any other Age, or only at the advent and (theoretically, of course) the closing of the Third Age, as the Dragon/the Dragon Reborn?	See Answer
Have you ever thought about reinstituting some of the old ideas from earlier books? For example, in The Dragon Reborn you had a situation with thirteen dark sisters and thirteen Myrddraal to forcibly convert someone to the darker side of things. It seems you have abandoned that. Do you think you might have something like that pop up again at some unexpected moment? It doesn't seem realistic for the Black Ajah to abandon the idea.	See Answer
Was the Fade who visited Jaichim Carridin in the Prologue of The Dragon Reborn an early version of Shaidar Haran? Its response that it likes to keep an eye on 'all who serve me' and its apparent sense of humor are behavior atypical of a Fade.	See Answer
Mr. Jordan, absolutely fascinating series, I love it. How much do you feel you drew from the Bible in creating the Dragon chararcter. ie, Moses leading the Israelites from Egypt as opposed to Rand leading the Aiel from the Waste?	See Answer
Ishamael’s corpse in The Dragon Reborn had only pits where his eyes and mouth once were. Was this a result of the True Power? If this is true, is the True Power the reason that Fades have no eyes, but some supernatural abilities?	See Answer
It would be the same soul, or it would be a different soul [for the Dragon Reborn in another Turning of the Wheel]?	See Answer
Mr. Jordan, why did you choose a heron as a mark for the Dragon Reborn (and swordmaster)?	See Answer
In this same Age, in a different Turning of the Wheel of Time, could it be possible that it wouldn't be Rand's soul that was spun out as the Dragon, but for a different, female soul to take on this role?	See Answer
Then what happens if the Dragon and the banner are on opposite sides of the conflict from whoever sounds the Horn?	See Answer
