Travelling!!

[a pale tanned lover]

Right i have a query and it may have been discussed before so apologies

 

I always thought that when travelling the person had too be familiar with the area they are travelling from before opening a gateway, yet in KOD when Nynaeve drops Lan off at Worlds End which as far as i know she would never have been too before she opens another gateway and disappears then seems to insinuate she's popping from village to village then back to Tear by the same means, am i missing something or has something changed. Answers please.............. ???

When holding the power a person "learns" the area faster and when you gate to it you learn it immed.

RJ stated that in travelling to a place you learn the place, hence Nynaeve was able to travel directly from World End... seems a bit convenient, but who are we to argue with the man that wrote it.

Ah right the only reason i asked is because i thought in LOC Dumanii wells, that Taim said he needed sometime to get familiar before gatewaying offski outta there, is that right or not and if it is right does that mean there is a difference between male and female travelling?

I'm pretty sure there's no difference between traveling with saidin and traveling with saidar.

Thats what i thought which begs the question of why Taim stated they would need a few hours to get familiar to where they are in LOC, since some of the Asha'man with them must have been the ones to gateway there if Taim didn't?

When they Traveled to Dumai's Wells they popped out into the middle of the battle.  They then fought their way into the clearing.  They were not on the same ground as when they arrived.

To go a short distance, you don't need to know a place at all.  So says Rand when he Travels to the top of a tower in Illian from the Square below, moments after arriving in the city.

 

Line if sight traveling can be done without knowing a place as well.  When Taim and the Ashaman rescued Rand,  it was only after traveling to Cairhien and finding Rand gone, that they were able to make short hops along the Tar Valon road until they came upon the battle with the Shaido already joined.  The place that the Ashaman arrived was far enough distant from the place where they raised the dome, probably severeal hndred yards, that they would have needed the extra time to learn the place, since they had not traveled directly there.  We saw something similar when Elayne uses the Bowl of the Winds outside Ebou Dar.  Only the women who had used the bowl would have been able to make a gateway from the top of the hill, since they had not gated directly to the top of the hill when they arrived.

 

Nynaeve likely Traveled a short distance from the cliffs where she ditched Lan then waited around a bit and Traveled to the nearest village to start on part two of the "Save Lan Plan"

Actually, they use different methods.  Saidin bores a hole through the Pattern, saidar makes the two places in the Pattern identical.  This is explained in Lord of Chaos chapter 37.

RJ stated that in travelling to a place you learn the place...

 

But then why would anyone have to wait around to learn a place? They could just travel like 2ft in whatever direction and thus instantly learn an area which is more or less the same area as before. Or am I misinterpreting Luckers again? :)

Nope, I have the same issue with the idea myself, but thats what RJ said.

RJ response was directly about that situation, so no it seems she didn't do that.

Yeah, I forgot about that.  :P  But there's no difference in which place you have to know.

SHHH!!! You're about to reveal Australia's big secret!! Keep it quiet....Looks like skipping to the next post wasn't very helpful.

You know, some day very soon Ares is just going to disapear from these boards. And it won't be because I've secretly had him banned, it will be because you can't post from hell. Not that I'd have anything to do with him getting there of course. :)

 

Looking forward to the tea Grandpa. You'll find Australia quite a nice place, and very much not a myth perpertrated by Nazi's to hide their secret death armada.

But it's such a lovely spot to hide a secret death armada. And of course you wouldn't have anything to do with me going to hell - that would be the builders of the secret Nazi death armada that doesn't exist. Of course, I'm sure no-one will notice the absence of me from the boards. If go out, I'm taking all of you down with me. Well, except for Luckers. It would be ridiculous to send an atheist to hell.

Does Mr Ares need directions?

I'm sure he can find his own way.
