  1. i'd imagine it would be a bit hard to make a building 1000+ feet in randland, without vehicles that can reach up like they do in the real world. That said, The topless towers aren't called the topless towers because they are not finished, it is because they are "semi-sky-scrappers." I have two references: "The Topless Towers of Cairhien," Loial murmured sadly. "Well, they were tall enough to warrant the name, once. When the Aiel took Cairhien, about the time you were born, the towers burned, and cracked, and fell." The Great Hunt, Cairhien, and http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Topless_Towers

  2. Question: In WH a man channels in Far Madding and the ter'angreal "moves" to show his location. | never understood that part because no one can channel there so how is it that the ter'angreal move to show them? I understand when Nyn uses her well and it shows up but I don't understand when it showed a man. I remember something about it changing colour to show it if it is a man or a woman and there is definately something about a man channeling. Could someone clear this up for me? Am I crazy and just messed this up completely. Thanks ya'll.

    i always wondered about this...

  3. To deepen the question. SO far Taim has shown more proficiency with the one power no? Considering we know he has his own weaves, even teaching one to Rand. Whereas we have seen, little to no innovation from Logain. Or does he have his own assortment of tricks as well?

    Firstly, Rand may be considerably stronger then both, as he was very likely no where near his full strength, since he was only about a year into learning to channel at the time. Secondly theres been little about Logain's abilities, altho in TSR at Tear someone Mat overheard talking about Logain said he was very powerful, being able to flatten a village himself or something like that.

    yeah true. Still he's strong enough to have his own faction in the black tower and I don't think that was too long after he escaped Salidar.

     

    that was just a rumor probably. rand cant even do that unaided now i wouldnt think

    Just after he got his memories back he asked someone, i think Lan about people he had been in the past, and i think it was mat who said he had been known as the gambler, not 100% sure tho.

    I would really like to know what you're referring to. I have no recollection of us ever learning who Mat was in past lives. We do know that he's currently known for being somewhat of a gambler (and I don't mean by his friends. That's a given). We have an example of that when the Aelfinn call him Gambler.

     

    Check through The Shadow Rising after Mat and Rand get back from Rhuidian, altho the gambler part might have just been i myself affixed to him however, last time i read it was too far ago, it's all a bit hazy but i definately remember mention of past lives.

  6. ok, I didn't know that last bit, so I wasn't sure why he got that or were it really came from and all that, I knew how it was applied just not the background of where it came from and why and what it was meant to be used for, when it happens how its triggered which things it applies to...other than super major stuff.

  7. i had always thought it was just a story made up to keep people from doing it but now that i think about it here is what i come up with

    1. the dramwalkers can talk to some one in there dream but are at the mercy of that person

    2. in 1 book (i forget what book)Moridin brings a few darkfriends in to T'A'R and kills 1 as an example

     

    so from those diferent ways of talking to some one in T'A'R i wold assume that to bring some one in to T'A'R to kill them you would have to be there in the flesh and that made me think about

    3. it would take a twisted person to do that and i would assume that in the AoL that kind of thing was done often

    4. most likely rumors started then that to go to T'A'R in the flesh makes you lose a part of yourself or become a little crazy or maybe even makes you become a darkfriend

    but then i thought about when Moridin and lanfear tried to get the boys to drink the wine what was that about? maybe it was like taking the blue pill or the red pill, a way to track them

    1. they are only at the mercy of someone if a. that person is also a dreamwalker or b. that person has a strong emotional connection to them such as Gawyn/Egwene.

    2. only masters of TAR can pull some one into TAR, and only if they have some sort of connection to them, such as Ishy and darkfriends.

    3. i doubt it happened, only apprentices of dreamwalkers could be pulled in, and i dont see that happening much.

    4. i reckon you don't actually lose a part of yourself when going to TAR in the flesh, Egwene didn't lose a part of herself, and Rand didn't, not because of TAR anyway...
