I realised while creating a backup of here, that this book/volume is most important! Not because what happens in it (as mostly nothing happens in it), but because what it relates to!
Ya see, this is a prequel - which is not a prequel! This whole heap of junk is a PROLOGUE, which retcons the Oriiginal Prologue just by being first on the timeline, obviously an intention to be as that!
Why is this important, and how does it changes EVERYTHING? Well, this whole thing is about the DRAGON, and has nothing to do with SATAN. the Original Prologue is declared by this a bad fanfic ripoff of the prologue of the léord of the Rings, but finaly tematicly erases it entirely! Satan is NOT IMPORTANT. Rand is important. Because as Aslan is an analogue for God, Rand is an analogue for Jesus, aka. The Messiah. The Jesus-story didn't have a prime antagonist, just like this one doesn't. The Jesus-story had multiple antagonists, both secular, religious and supernatural, but they were all cliffnotes. The important thing is the message of Salvation, and everything else (story, characters, internal consistency) be damned!
Finaly figured it out. THIS is the bok the Wheel of Time becomes The Wheel of Time. Tam is Joseph, Land and Moiraine (with Siuan) are the Three Kings, and so on. the aes sedai ARE he jews "who are not jews, but the Synagouge of Satan".
Also, made a search about the short story version, and found out why it is nowhere listed separatly. Because the novel is NOT an expanded version of the short story, rather the exact same, only added chapters to the "short story version" (a source mentioned the short starts with Chapter 14).
Back to the chapter.
RJ likes to repeat this thing about the aes not marrying because they are highlanders, and who wanna watch her love and family die. Well, the REAL reason though was in the Strike at Shyol Ghul, and it wasn't this nonsense.
----------------
Are these lesbians? Who has time for that, CONTRADICTION TIME! Previously (you know what I mean) it was clearly stated, that no full rank aes sedai may suffer "the shaming of flesh", aka. beating. Here it is clearly stated that is everyday occurance. Make up your mind Robert! Just on one thing for a start! This is the same kind of crap CSLewis (to whom Lewis Therin is a reference, obviously) came up with hoomans being every-present in Narnia, depsite in Book 1 everyone thinking "the children of Adam" were a myth. Not to mention, this is ritualistic nonsense, which prevents proper functioning.

So, Lan is still in this book.
