It's clear that they strayed from the story to make a diverse cast but you always come in with the pretense that its was alluded to in the story,which it was not.


quote:

Elaida had put down her knitting, Rand realized, and was studying him. She rose from her stool and slowly came down from the dais to stand before him. “From the Two Rivers?” she said. She reached a hand towards his head; he pulled away from her touch, and she let her hand drop. “With that red in his hair, and gray eyes? Two Rivers people are dark of hair and eye, and they seldom have such height.” Her hand darted out to push back his coat sleeve, exposing lighter skin the sun had not reached so often. “Or such skin.”


quote:

And among them stood others, men with coppery skins, men with transparent veils across the lower half of their faces, fair-skinned men who just did not have the look of the Two Rivers.

Yes. Exactly that passage. Two Rivers folk are not fair skinned. That is a fact.

It also doesn't matter and has no impact whatsoever on the overarching story. I'm really not going to talk about this anymore.

I can't comment too much on this Lan casting as I have never seen this guy act. Anyone here ever watch Criminal Minds?

It seems like that quote describes dark hair and eyes for the two rivers people not dark skin, and that Rand has coppery skin that doesn’t match the two rivers look. I’ve always imagined the two rivers people as white and I’m sticking with it.
