Yeah, I wanted to read those outrigger novels, particularly the one about Mat and those prequels. Moiraine will be back, of that I'm certain. Throughout the series we had a few possible hints for her return but the most recent thing is basically confirmation. I think Jordan also said that Moiraine can't write a lie. Besides, she's a parallel to Gandalf. Also we figure out who killed Asmodean... that has been bugging me for years. What I'm interested in is to see the reunion between Gawyn, Galad, Elayne and Morgase. As well as seeing if Gawyn goes crazy and tries to kill Rand... Oh, have you ever heard of the "Mazrim Taim is Moridin" idea? If so that will be interesting to see.

I'm not familiar with there being a story about Mat...where can I find that? I only know about "New Spring" which was the prequel that Jordan did publish. I'd read that he planned two more that would bring us up to the point that Moiraine found Rand, Mat, and Perrin at the beginning of "The Eye of the World".
Yeah, that whole Asmodean thing has been a burr in my saddle for years. I thought it was Ishamael or maybe Lanfear.
Taim sure seems like he might be a Forsaken, but not sure that he is Moridin.

It was planned on being written before he passed away, it was meant to take place ten years after the main sequence of books. He was planning on those prequels and a few "After" sort of things to show what happens with some characters, Mat/Tuon being one he said he had a general outline for. Taim is one of the most mysterious characters of the series. Personally I have an odd theory about when Moridin entered the series linked with the weather (remember the winter and Ishamael is defeated, it suddenly goes away? I think the Dark One works through Ishamael/Moridin to effect weather, putting him into the world when the endless summer hit, around book five). Moridin isn't Demandred, Jordan said he wasn't several times. Moridin seems likely if its any Forsaken, timing is right and its a great position, Taim displays Moridin's colors and hates Rand with a passion. Considering what Rand did to him as Ishamael, its only natural he would. I always assumed Graendal killed Asmodean.

I didn't know Jordan had ruled out Demandred. I thought it might be Demandred in disguise, since I think he's the only male Forsaken not killed, right?
Maybe he's a Darkfriend that can channel. It just seems like he's too involved with Rand to ever slip away and be Moridin. ?

That was my initial thought as well. However how often do you actually see him doing anything? All you see him do is occasionally show up and give orders. Almost every actual act, after orders, is done through a proxy. Half the time he even orders people around he probably used Cyndane, Moghedien or Shaidar Haran. He really isn't very active after you think about it. We don't know where he or Demandred is located. Demandred is the main general, it would make sense if he were in the Blight somewhere planning for Tarmon Gai'don. If Taim is a Forsaken he has to be Moridin. We have evidence that Taim is a Forsaken. Though to be honest I just remembered a quote by Jordan putting Taim's age at around 35, so I suppose Taim is just Taim... possibly turned to the Shadow with a circle of thirteen. Definitely taking orders from Moridin though, looking at his "let the lord of chaos rule" quote and the red and black everywhere.
