I snickered at the "colourful balls." That can't be healthy...<br/><br/><br/>Anyway!<br/><br/>I agree that having a Forsaken touching the world would be an excellent plot point and would certainly raise the stakes and give the RP an extra bit of direction as they face a common enemy...perhaps The Forsaken is targeting The White Tower because, in this timeline, there's a Ter'angreal inside the tower vaults that was designed to keep track of the seals, so can be used to find them...and the Black Ajah wants it because then they could find and break them, and let their masters loose? And as Sindra suggested, there could be all kinds of extra plots to try and weaken the tower from kidnappings to smuggling to sabotaging the test of the Veil...hell, what if a Darkfriend replaces some training equipment with real equipment in an attempt to get some of the trainee Warders killed? That could be dramatic. XD
