Another question from POD
Finnssss22 replied to Lightfriendsocialmistress's topic in Wheel of Time Books
It was the explosion of Elayne's Gateway. It destabilized the pattern for miles around it and caused weaves made in it to become more unpredictable and harder to control. If we we're talking D&D terms, it created a Wild Magic zone. -

Potential fix for the overpowered Moiraine issue:
Finnssss22 replied to Shawlee's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
From what I understand the companion was based on RJ's original notes and he changed many power levels in the end. Cads was originally stronger than Egwene and Elayne but below Nynaeve. She ended up about the same level as Nicola which is above Moiraine and Siuan but below Egwene, Elayne and Avi. However, Cads has A LOT of toys that I don't think we even found out what half of them do. -

She had it right off the bat and was using it to defend the Two Rivers. -

You realise she had an angreal in season 1 and as far as we know she never gave it up or lost it. -
I think in fact Cads has been mentioned in passing at least twice, possibly 3 times now. I know for sure she was mentioned in S1 and then again by Elayne in S2 when talking to Egwene about famous novices living next to each other. I guess the real determining factor for Cads will be if Moiraine "Dies" or not. Cadsuane doesn't really have a "job" if Mo doesn't as Cad's was pretty much her replacement with Rand starting in book 7.

There was no solution at that time. While LTT originally resented the Woman for not helping, the amalgamated Rand/LTT came to understand that the Woman not helping was the right call and that it was highly likely Saidar would've also been tainted. Even though Callandor was made during the War of Power, it's flaw was discovered quite quickly and more or less shelved. Its importance wasn't revealed until about 80 years after the Sealing of the Bore during the Breaking when Deindre Sedai's foretellings of the Prophecies of the Dragon sent the Nym to the Eye with the Dragon Banner, the Horn and a Seal, constructed the Fortress of Tear to hold Callandor and eventually created Rhuidean setting up the Glass Columns and the Rings.

Naw, Manetheren at its peak had a whole system of paved roads and bridges. They traded easily and often with other Nations. They were a wealthy trade Nation. Most of those bridges were destroyed on purpose during the Trolloc Wars to slow them down. You have it backwards, they adjusted from trade to defense during the Trolloc Wars. The Fall of Manetheren was the beginning of the end of the Trolloc Wars. The Shadow threw the majority of its resources into destroying Manetheren and it cost them so dearly accomplishing this that they never took another forward step after, only backwards as they were pushed back into the Blight.

ISO New Series Recommendations

Malazan Book of the Fallen 10 books but fair warning, those 10 books rival Wheel of Time's 14+Prequel for total size and it drops info on you at a record pace at times. Great series and some absolutely stand out characters. It's loosely based on the adventures from multiple D&D table top campaigns in a custom world the author's created back in 1982. Many of the characters featured are based on actual player characters from those campaigns over the years and the story is a weaving of those campaigns together into an epic tale. It's a very good and very fun series. -

They have to be able to reproduce or Trollocs would've disappeared while Aginor was imprisoned for 3000 years and there certainly wouldn't have been enough to support over a 100 years of the Trolloc Wars. This is flat out stated during one of the Forsaken's PoV's thinking about the mystery of how Fades come into being. There's been many theories over the years from Fades simply being a by-product of using the True Power to Trolloc's actually having souls and that anytime a soul with the ability to Channel comes along it is born a Fade.

Yeah, not a lot is known about Shadowspawn. Even their creator Aginor only knows so much about them as they were all created using the True Power which is basically pure chaos. To say it's unpredictable would be a gross understatement heh. Aginor didn't even create the Myrddral, they would just sometimes be "born" along with Trollocs. Despite experimenting on them, he still couldn't discover how this happened, what they were exactly or how their control over Trollocs works. We didn't even see every kind of Shadowspawn or at least we only heard of Jumara being worms but according to Sammy they are only the larval version, that their full grown version is one of the nastiest Shadowspawn there is. Or the insect like swarms of Cafar we only heard of. There were only 6 Gholam's, 3 male and 3 female. I always figured the male versions were immune to Saidar and the female versions were immune to Saidin but that was never confirmed or denied.

Doesn't sound unreasonable but after NY CC we now know for sure we're mainly getting... *Aiel/Rhuidean and Dreamwalking (Rand, Egwene, Moiraine, Lan) *Two Rivers (Perrin, Loial, Bain and Chiad) +Tinkers reappearance *Travel on a Seafolk ship most likely to Tanchico (Elayne, Nynaeve) So we know pretty much where the season will go for the last 4-5 episodes, the question is where are they starting it and how do they get to these places? If there is a White Tower reset is Mat going there as well? Or is he just going with Rand straight up? Does Avi go with Perrin or Rand? When/where do they introduce Faile? Where does Thom reappear? When do they introduce Elaida? When/where are Gawyn and Galad coming in?

Are we getting the docks though? Kind of predicated on whether we get the Foxes and Snakes and we just don't know about that yet. Nor do we know if we're getting Rahvin. We have 6 of the 8 Forsaken confirmed and I think we all expect #7 to be Demandred. The 8th, going by Lanfear's comments, is another male. Granted Rahvin is probably the most likely with possibly Aginor being the other choice. No Finn's though eliminates/changes a lot of stuff. The bottomline is that we simply don't know and won't till S3. Book 4 is the beginning of the road map for the rest of the series for pretty much every character and S3 will most likely be the same. Predicting anything prior to seeing S3 is pretty tough. As I keep saying, S3 will make or break the show.
