18 Forsaken ?

 

Am I right that five of them are revived - Aran'gar, Osan'gar, Cyndane, Hessalam and obviously Moridin? 

 

So eighteen lives total

 

I was saving that one ?

 

Makes more sense to be 5 than 18, though.

Five ride forth, and four return.
Above the Watchers Over the Waves shall he proclaim himself,
bannered 'cross the sky in fire.

The Five Great Captains (but in my headcanon it's Mat instead of Niall)

I don't doubt it, I just don't like him ?

Today’s challenge: Something in sixes.  I have a feeling some of these numbers may require more cleverness than others? Is six where the game falls apart?

 

Also I’ll vote on yesterday’s in a minute. Have some home care stuff that took priority. But wanted to get today’s started. 

[MasterAblar]

The size of the shield constantly maintained on Rand when he is kidnapped.

Honestly I had hoped someone would mention the bridges. Good call ?

It's better than mine for sure

 

The omniscient observer can also be one of them

The first six books and their culmination at Dumai's Wells. That set up the rest of the series.

 

Maybe, just trying to come up with something ?
