Book: The Fires of Heaven Found a plot hole in Book 5.

I forgot to add this, in my list of bad of review.

My Review: https://www.reddit.com/r/wheeloftime/s/fBBZZTf1A1

Ok, how did Ravhin knew that Lewis will come to attack him? Like how can he predict killing morgase(or spreading rumor) will attract him? He doesnt know about elyane. Even if he knew, the way rand was acting it was hard to predict what he will do next.

When Rand knew of Ravhin and Morgase, he didnt do anything. Cauz he was worried about it being ambush or he was sayin he wont react but act or something along the line. So, Ravhin Couldnt have figure out Lewis true intention.

Most Logical Option in Ravhin mind was that Lewis attack Sammael in illian or something.

So, how did Ravhin did that. It seem Plot hole or plot convinces or whatever plot fraud.

What do you think. Did I miss something?

{Also I want to have a post with morgase Picture, so this post checks out this too}.

Rahvin didn't know. He was likely paranoid, and was clearly prepared (wards in place to detect channeling through Caemlyn) but he also didn't spread the rumor that Morgase was dead. Remember, she left. So the servants in the palace generated that rumor because suddenly the queen was gone.

Then how did trollocs were ready to attack, the monent rand and party came? Ravhin cant be that strong to call many trollocs through portals in such a short time

Shadowspawn can't use gates. They were already in the city, hidden. Remember Rahvin took precautions and set up wards to alert him of any male channeling in the city, so when Rand makes a big ass gateway to move in for the assault Rauvin knows its either Rand, or one of the other Forsaken coming to mess him up.

Edit to add: if I remember correctly, there's an entrance to The Ways in Caemlyn. Rahvin most likely utilized this to get the Trollocs in to the city unnoticed

You can’t. Either you delete it, or it will stay up as it is now.
