The team's need for editing help is the main reason why they haven't been able to turn in an episode for me to put on the front page each week. If you are a fan and want to see these posted more regularly, please consider contacting them at the e-mail address listed above about helping with editing.

loial himself says no matter what, he will be at the last battle. i don't think he would say that if it wasn't possible even if the book were opened/used.

these people you keep saying are almost like ta'veren are always closely connected to real ta'veren. that whirlpool brings them in and effects those around them as if they themselves are ta'veren. i'd guess at this point most of the threads in the pattern are being pulled in unless they are firmly held by the shadow.

nyn's room moved, and her door opened into a wall, she had to use a traveling gateway to leave it.

mashadar as well with fain. the guy is clearly nuts, insane like nobody has ever been insane before. but within him are the most powerful evils of the world. greed from the shai'tan's touch, pride from machin shin, and hate from mashadar.

btw i'm not so sure about pride, although all of the evils i mention are just a part of human existence, and not evil in and of themselves. greed can be good for you and yours as long as it isn't theft, pride can help one move forward in life, and hate can help protect you from those who would do you and yours harm. but all of those can easily tip over into doing bad things, hate being the easiest, and not really worthy of specifics. greed is the second easiest, if it drives you to take from another, whether it be material or not. and pride is extremely easy when combined with either one of those previously mentioned, but even by itself it can lead to arrogance.

id agree... its like... eddies coming off of a paddle... the ta'veren do the broad stroke, but people around him(or connected through a bond?) generate a small movement for a while after...

 

and two... has anyone noticed that all of the bubbles of evil are effected directly by one of the 4 elements? the dust clouds in rhuidean are effected by wind... the fires that burnt through rands house aviendha put out with water... the dust that nyaneve swept through tear from fire... the weapons that attacked perrins crew fell still when touched with earth......... why no spirit?

 

and, after reading about the dove, who else reread the whole series and suspects every bird that flutters away whenever anyone gets close? it happens throughout the series...

 

all in all... thanks for the new episode!

I know one of the editors. He's more than ready and willing to crank shows out but he rarely gets anything sent to him to edit... :wacko:

is it possible to channel the true source in a Stedding? I know Rand said he could in that one city that's shielded like a Stedding, but is it different with it being a real Stedding and a fake one? If a real Stedding guards against the True Source, then maybe that is why the dead cannot enter into a Stedding?

 

I don't know. I just thought of it.

Maybe it's more analogous to not being able to enter a Stedding via TAR then having to do with the TP...IDK

On fain, I thought it was interesting how he said he was going to kill Rand, but after Rand perhaps the dark one. Do you think maybe Rand could pit fain and the dark one after each other like the different evils in the two unhealable wounds? Or like what he did with Saidin's taint on Shadar Logoth...?
