To Storm or Fire the world must fall...

The Gaea being "the world" theory seems like a possibility, but you've got to wonder, since Gaea is basically "Mother Earth" and Earth isn't all "the world" consists of. The "must fall" part does make it more likely that it could be Gaea though, because otherwise, the prophecy could basically be saying that the actual world will fall no matter what. Of course, prophecies are so unclear, that we could have no clue at all what this line of the prophecy means until we read the final two books.
