The first time I read the part where that guy (can't remember his name) was busy inventing the steam engine, I thought to myself "oh well there goes this world - it'll end up over-populated and polluted like we are now". It was the saddest moment of the whole series, for me.

It doesn't just implicate this - it states that, several times, in the Books.

The Sister who invented the Weave that could detect a man channeling was a Green totally unrelated to Egwene, so I think it was probably something she came up with all on her own.

I believe somewhere RJ mentions in the Books that men with power wrought weapons often go through the motions of sharpening, even though they don't need it. This could be out of sheer habit, or disbelief.

Thank you 🙂 I just use Edge's Co-Pilot, free online.

It's a heck of a lot better than I could do with my hands, Heavy! I made these using CoPilot. The poor dear can do amazing things but some concepts escape it. The first attempt was very Amish, but with this 2nd one it managed to work towards voluptuous. Unfortunately the "banded" dress concept was all black and white: I got this one with colours, albeit randomly, but at least it was in the practice yard (its own suggestion, might I add!):

I think you should enroll as a novice at the White Tower and Warriors and eventually work your way up to being an Aes Sedai of the White Ajah.

I remember her! I could give it a go, but it would be using AI.

The Ta'varen never really made much sense to me. I try not to dwell on that whole side of the story because it's too implausible and will just spoil a story which I otherwise love.

I must admit that usually I also prefer a faster paced story, but the Wheel of Time is just so unique. Everything Jordan wrote just drew me in further, and made it all more "real". I'm sure ants have personalities *grins*

What does the "73 from" mean? I've never been a religious person. When I was younger I equated that with being an Atheist, but as I grew older I wasn't so sure anymore. Then I got to know more about hyenas, and now I know there's some form of Creator out there and they really have a weird but wonderful sense of humour.

Hi Caelan 🙂 I agree with your concept - my thought was more that the Dark One can't actually create anything physical, like the Creator can. Instead, he has to manipulate others into doing what he wants - hence my supposition that he creates emotions.

I take it then that you are not English speaking by birth?

It's the end results that matter, right? Maybe the Dark One creates emotions, whereas the Creator creates matter.

Well put, in my opinion.
