Book of Translation

rd, there is no evidence of that at all. Mat never thought the medallion was the connection, and moreover we know others have been connected to the finns without a medallion. Why would they need a physical object to link them? We've seem them manipulate memories before.

I will dig thru the books and try to find the paragraph, or sentence that gave me the (probably erroneous) impression.

I hate the fact that RJ does crap like this. Nowhere in the books does it give you the ability to deduce that those people had those memories "removed" by the Finn's. Quite the opposite actually. Mat never remembers being in Finnland except for his personal experience. None of his Finn-granted memories indicate even knowledge of the Finn's. Therefore you think that maybe the memories were from BEFORE they visited Finnland. However' date=' some of Mat's memories include dieing. How can someone die, then go to Finnland to have their memory saved by the Finns? It seems like RJ didn't think this one through.[/quote']

 

Except that RJ has planted the possibility of the finns creating a link with the people they make deals with, which allows them access to that person's experiences after leaving the Tower. A hint or three about Mat losing an eye, for example...

 

Or the Fact that Mat states that the Finn know they are going to go to them, showing that they can directly see what they do....

But Mat doesn't know for sure (and neither do we) how much the finns actually see. Are they constantly monitoring every single move he makes, do they occasionally take a look to see what he's up to, can they somehow feel when he's in a situation worth monitoring...?
