I found it.. sort of “When my child is born,” she said dryly, “you can both apply to be her wet nurse.” If her child was “her.” If Min had said, it was lost in Aviendha and Birgitte’s wine-hazed memories of that night. ”

You get the actual viewing too, it's in the Min POV where she and Aviendha go drinking.

Could also be Egeanin, depending on how strictly they adhere to the head-shaving = rank, and/or when Egeanin gets promoted to the Blood in the TV show. Suroth seems just as likely tho, although I pictured her a little older.

Maybe with a bigger budget for S2 that poo poo can be revisited It's entirely possible they just don't want to talk about the 5 powers in the show. Like there's a bunch of technical narrator stuff about magic powers is constant for the reader, that I don't know they're going to be explicit about.

I expect that the Five Powers will still be a thing, but I think there's a couple of very simple reason to ditch the colored weaves. First is consistency - even people that don't pay nit-picking attention often notice when an effect isn't the same every time you do a thing, and they need the support of the book fans who will absolutely go hard on a "when this fireball was thrown, you showed three Fires and one Air, but this fireball has an Earth and two Waters!" level of whine. That's not going to significantly hurt the show, but leaving everything pure white or corrupted black avoids that entirely. The bigger issue is that trying to do colored weaves would probably get extremely visibly chaotic very quickly. Not just to the point of obscuring the character's actions (which, after all, is what is actually important), but quite possibly to the level of being extremely unpleasant to watch.

I can imagine a bunch of colors swirling around might be hard to follow or just look bad on screen, so they went with just straight white as it showed up more cleanly/clearly.

It also significantly complicates the real world lighting needs if you have 5 colors. I can see them doing the colors as the wonder girls are learning, but like when they spin the multiple colored threads it snaps into the white misty stuff we got in season 1. Showing them learning the nuts and bolts of what they are doing.

“some place called Shibouya, supposedly beyond the Aiel Waste, where women who could channel had tattooed faces, over three hundred crimes carried a penalty of death, and giants lived under the mountains, men taller than Ogier, with their faces on their bellies. He claimed to have been there. ” Is this a real place in Randland or a Jain Farstrider embellishment? Do they have this kind of poo poo in the companion?

Haradashi are just this big human bodies sometimes with a fake head but a friendly face on the belly that visit lonely people to keep them company and like to make people laugh. They're like a much less creepy flasher, they'll walk up, you think they're just a normal person, then they rip their clothes open and BIG LAUGHING FACE ON THE GUT and then they do a dance and run away.

I thought it might be related to that one tree man's head that was chilling in the cave where Demandred found his sa'angreal. It doesn't really make logical sense, but it was still alive and maybe Jain saw it when he was compelled to work for the Forsaken. The rest is definitely Shara though.

Who is sending these messages to Rand in Far Madding: “I know who you are, and I wish you well, but I also wish you gone from Far Madding. The Dragon Reborn leaves death and destruction where he steps. I now know why you are here, too. You killed Rochaid, and Kisman also is dead. Torval and Gedwyn have taken the top floor above a bootmaker named Zeram on Blue Carp Street, just above the Illian Gate. Kill them and go, and leave Far Madding in peace.” ?
