DRAGONMOUNT

A WHEEL OF TIME COMMUNITY

So, I brought back my White Ajah Aes Sedai who is also a Dreamwalker. Elgee may have already contacted you about this, Myst, but she's going to need training for her Talent. :P

 

It'll be about one or two years retroactively from the main time line, but she'll need to go to the Wise Ones for training, and I figured since you made Edora a dual trainer, she might be able to help?

oh, I didn't know you wanted to do this retroactively because I was going to incorporate it in the RP we're discussing with Quibby.

Huh. Elgee had suggested doing this retroactively because Quibby will be coming to the White Tower for help and not the Wise Ones.

 

I just figured Leala would be more helpful if she already knew what she was doing. xD

Yeah, I understand. But I'm guessing Elgee suggested that before I got involved in the thread Quibby started and offered to combine the two events of A. getting Wise Ones to train WT dreamwalkers and B. Quibby's character going to the Tower for help on his dreams.

 

So basically, I would like to use your character Leala as the start of getting Wise Ones to train Aes Sedai.

 

The problem with doing this retroactively is that Leala is 94 in the main timelline and Edora is 63. This provides a few problems:

 

1. At most with Edora the timejump could be 40 years to where Edora was 23 and fully raised as Wise One.

2. This would mess up the Aiel storyline because they didn't have any friendly contact with wetlanders before their search for the car'a'carn begins, which is aproximately 2 years ago IC.

3. Aes Sedai wouldn't have known anything about the Aiel Wise Ones back then yet, let alone that they could channel and even less that they had an established talent as Dreamwalkers. This only becomes known after the Dragon Reborn has gone to Rhuidean and the first friendly contact is made between the WT and the Aiel.

 

What I therefore propose is that Leala spends her years trying to master her Talent from the knowledge she can find in the Tower library and from talking the situation over with a Brown Sister (which is why I've offered to include my Carina, she's 215 years old in the main storyline). This would be a slow and incomplete process as life and other duties would occupy Leala's time as well. But it also allows for her to learn the rudimentary basics of the dreamworld on her own through careful trial and error.

 

As you know we're working on finalising the revised timeline and storyline for the Main Storyline PSW. In there the DR gets kidnapped just like in the books and there are Aes Sedai involved in the rescueing of the DR. We could (with Elgee's permission) assume that Leala was part of that rescue group and therefore in contact range of the Wise Ones with the Aiel who were also involved in that rescue. This could lead to a friendly contact between Leala and Edora and establish a first relationship between them.

 

Meanwhile, Carina is at the Tower when Mehrin (Quibby's character) arrives with his troubling dreams. Being the known authority on dreams from years of studying, he's brought to Carina and she travels to where Leala is at taking Mehrin with her (shielding his dreams as Moiraine did with the Two River folks during their first travels). They arrive at the camp of the DR and Leala sets to work trying to help Mehrin. During one of those sessions, Edora comes across Leala in the Dreamworld and offers to teach her because she instantly notices that Leala only has a rudimentary knowledge of Ter'aran'rhiod and that could be very dangerous. Having established a prior friendship (not too close, but still amiable), the Aes Sedai agrees.

 

Mehrin is being used as a study object while the Aes Sedai and the Wise One try to help him. And through this Leala learns the intricacies of dreamwalking from the Wise One and learns to use her Talent fully.

 

Carina meanwhile continues to shield Mehrin's dreams when he's not being studied and is busy researching everything that Leala discloses of dreamwalking. Writing her own book about the subject to be added to the Tower's library.

 

 

 

This is the outline I've come up with in order to make it fit for all involved and also to match with the main storyline. We can still tweek it of course. But I suggest we do that in Quibby thread over at the WT. I'll post a link to that here so that anyone reading this thread can follow what's going on and what has been decided at the end of our discussion.

Myst, by retro-actively I meant a year or 2 in retro. That way Leala's character would have some knowledge of the matter when Quibby's pitches up. But whatever you guys think will work is fine by me :)

Posted (edited)

Either way sounds good to me. The one that Myst mentioned gives Leala a good starting place, though.

 

It would also be a good place for her to get a Warder. :)

I still prefer the time I've suggested for reality sake IC. The Aiel wouldn't just offer training out of the blue unless a certain level of connection is established and they can be sure that their student will be obedient to them.

 

In my suggestion, both the Aes Sedai and the Wise One are helping Quibby's character, which covers for the AS's lack of knowledge at that time.

Don't know if everybody is still interested in this, but I'm in the process of writing what's basically an intro thread, where Mehrin becomes aware of the strangeness of his dreams.

Posted

I'm definitely still interested! I need to get my Leala out there in the world! lol Quibby, if you could send me the link to that thread, so I could keep up with what's going on, that would be wonderful! :)

Just saw this now....I think Myst was planning on rping the NSW, and shes on LOA currently. If there is interest from everyone involved and the kinks of timeline and prior connects are suffiencently worked out then it should be fine to continue/go ahead and I can jump into the NSW if Myst is still away.

Posted

I'm ready to go, but Leala is in Cairhien. :P I'm fine with you playing the NSWs, Kathleen. :)

The only real trouble I see is that the first many rps in this arc involve Myst's Brown Sister heavily, and as she's on LoA she won't be able to post for them.
