Slayer and the Finns

[Dollhouse]

I believe it was in The Shadow Rising where slayer makes his first appearance. In one scene where Perring is chasing him across the Dream World we see slayer entering the steel tower whcih leads into Finnland. So this got me thinking, maybe Slayer one or both of the men that are him, made a deal with the Finn to allow them to live and this was how Luc/Slayer was created? He did enter the tower so maybe he even has the power to enter the world of the Finns?

 

Interstingly enough when rereading this scene I suddenly remembered a scene in one of the later books (I think it might have been Path of Daggers) where we are treated to a scene that suggested somebody entered Finnland and visited back then when Lanfear became a prisoner of theirs. If this really was showing a scene with Lanfear being in captivity then what I'm suggesting here is that the visitor back then was Slayer.

Of course, he may not have entered the Tower, it could have been a trap for Perrin.

I think likely he just jumped away and was hoping Perrin will investigate how to get in the tower.

It was ToM; Moiraine only said someone came looking for a woman, and it wasn't her. Since that same someone is a good candidate for whoever blew the Tear doorway, I think Moridin is more likely.

While interesting, I believe that the Dark Prophecy from tGH seems to imply that Luc/Isam/Slayer did their whole merge thing in the Blight, somewhere in the Mountains of Dhoom.

 

Luc came to the Mountains of Dhoom.

Isam waited in the high passes.

The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill.

One did live, and one did die, but both are.

[Barid Bel Medar]

Isam/Luc most likely did not actually enter the Tower in tSR, it was most likely a red herring, and a way to re-introduce the Tower.

Not traveling in time. The physical laws of nature differ. Mentioning the Dark One [in Randland] is bad luck. In Aelfland, it is *REALLY* bad. You cannot go to Aelfland in Tel'aran'rhiod (similar to stedding).

[Maleshub]

Why was Lanfear reincarnated in a new body? Was she killed as punishment? Or did she die during the rescue attempt? If she died in the rescue attempt, then whoever went in probably died too.

Think Moiraine said the Elfinn killed Lanfear. Were too eager to drain her power as they hadn't had an Aes Sedi in so long and they killed her (Hence took longer with Moiraine when draining her)

 

Somebody feel free to correct me though

Yes - M was told the Finn killed Lanfear by draining her of OP too fast. Of course, the Finn may have carefully misguided her or lied outright.

Heh very true
