    T'A'R. They have _never_ (unless I'm very mistaken) tried to balefire
    Rand outside of T'A'R. They know that they must do it in all possible worlds, and not just their own.

    Well, it doesn't really affect your theory, but you are "very mistaken"
    - Rahvin made some pretty serious attempts to BF Rand at the end of
    TFOH, in non-TAR Caemlyn. However, I don't have any strong evidence
    against this theory.

    Rahvin was clearly directing Rand's movements by use of balefire, imho, was not actually attempting to balefire Rand at all. It's like if a sniper keeps missing over and over again ... it might not be because he missed.

    Where was Rahvin trying to direct Rand to?
