Really? I want to right the wrongs in the world?

You belong to the Blue Ajah!

Members of the Blue Ajah seek to right wrongs in the world, and are often on some kind of quest for justice in various forms. While their goals are often noble (though they need not be), it is not rare for a Blue to lose herself in her mission completely.

This is your result in its entirety:

I wonder if it's possible to create a weave opposite to balefire that repairs/returns threads of the pattern rather than destroying them... :B surely if you can create a thread that destroys while affecting time you could create one that does the reverse?

I think that would be more like trying to re-weave that thread through existence. A bit more difficult than simply burning it out.

Interesting idea though. With a large enough circle, it may be possible. What would the weave track while reweaving a thread though? The memories of the countless other threads that interacted with it? Does a stone have memory? Everything has a weave, and each weave is laced together with countless others. Each weave carries a memory of the other weaves it has (I'm starting to feel like this is a sewing club...) woven through. Or maybe there are faint traces of its previous existence throughout the lace?

If it were as simple as targeting the residue of the balefire used, it'd be a complete cop-out. Like, "Nu'hu! Can't balefire him! I shot your light with my light so that cancels them out."

Alivia is like 400 years old, so there is a clear indicator between her and Sorilea as to how Strength in the One Power affects age.

 

Some people appreciate bosoms in all their majesty, be they ample, bare, tender, or all of the above...

It's not the size that counts, it's the shape!

To me, it seemed that Mat was the reason it had not affected Rand. Mor says that the dagger is contagious, and we saw DF attracted to it. We also know now that Padan Fain can infect others the way Mor described. To me the difference lays in Mat and his personality/TR-stubbornness. Mat was not presented as being of a suspicious or non-trusting nature. Prankster and trickster yes, but he was not even openly distrustful of Mor and Lan until it was revealed that she was AS and even then he showed no distrust of Lan (continuing to workout with him with weapons, etc). I would dare say that if he had not gained the dagger until TGS for example that it would have a much more profound effect on him and those around him.

 

But the Blood of Manetheren runs strongly in Mat, possibly more strongly that any of the other Tav'eren, since we see him spouting OT before he ever went to SL. And Manthere's were know as among the most stubborn (which can also be described as strength of will) among those of their Age. Aridhol's (and by extension Mordeth's) problem was suspicion. Suspicion of their friends, their neighbors, even their families and the lengths that those people were willing to go to to prove their suspicions. Mat fought that suspicion, constantly. We see from his comments to Rand that it is eating away at him, and that he hates it. Mat's own stubbornness might have been what contained the dagger's contagion. He trusted Rand completely. The one time that he seemed suspicious of Rand was around the time they got to Camelyn, and Mat apologized immediately. By the time Mor arrived, Mat had almost completely lost the battle to hold off the dagger's taint, and the stronger Mordeth became with in Mat then the more likely the taint would have been able to spread because Mat would have lost all of his trust of others. He would not have been Mat anymore.

 

So in my opinion, whatever force inhabits the dagger (call it Mordeth's spirit for easy reference) was bending all of it's energy to converting Mat into it's 'perfect vessel' that it had no strength to spare to spread the taint to those around Mat. It knew that once it won and possessed Mat then it could spread as far as it wanted, but taking over Mat was proving much more difficult than anyone (including Mor) had any reason to expect. Mor even seemed surprised that Mat had lasted as long as he did.

 

Just my opinion. But it is a theory that makes everyone in the books right and makes one of our 'Heroic Trio' seem even better than he was.

Padan Fain encountered Mordeth in Shadar Logoth. Mordeth needed a body to posses and found one with a soul already belonging to someone else - this is why there are still traces of Fain within. Matrim would not have devolved into a Mordeth type person, he would have become like one of the whitecloaks in the Two Rivers who followed Fain. Matrim's inner strength may very well have been what kept him sane this long, however in the end he would have become just like one of the citizens of Aridhol.

Who is the Lord of Chaos?

 

Is it the DO? is it Moridin?

 

I forgot.

 

The Lord of Chaos is a referral to Rand's dark path. The Dark One is constantly influencing him into becoming the Blind Champion - his ultimate weapon. The Dark One would rather Rand was turned than killed, and until Veins of Gold he is succeeding in his plans. Taim doesn't understand the full meaning of the phrase yet still uses it.

 

There is also this ref...

Yes, however that's from the fourth age. While the events of the Wheel of Time occur in the third.

I like Terry Pratchett's view, which could be used to explain this:

But it was much earlier even than that when most people forgot that the very oldest stories are, sooner or later, about blood.

The answer may lie in the side effects Ishamael was experiencing from use of the True Power - a furnace for eyes and mouth. Maybe any part of him opened would become a 'gate' to this endless cavern of flames.

Which come to think about it, would probably make the morning after burrito night seem like nothing...

Ooh, nice looking avatar Evoke

Thanks! If you want one I was thinking about making a few more later on for those who would like one. Keep an eye out.

Those are just the stories of her last life. She lived one of her life during the funding of Tar Valon. There aren't many stories left from that time.

 

This is how I see it.

She's been around a few times during the last Age.

Part of it lies in the way her life unfolds each time. A simple girl who picks up the bow for one reason or another and ends up having crazy adventures with some ugly dude. These tales are then (rightfully so) credited to the same legendary character due to the similarities.

This is of course reflected in our own world in how mythological and religious figures share so many characteristics.
