  1. 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.
  2. It doesn't just implicate this - it states that, several times, in the Books.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Thank you πŸ™‚ I just use Edge's Co-Pilot, free online.
  6. 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!):
  7. 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.
  8. I remember her! I could give it a go, but it would be using AI.
  9. 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.
  10. 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*
  11. 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.
  12. Hi Caelan πŸ™‚ 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.
  13. I take it then that you are not English speaking by birth?
  14. It's the end results that matter, right? Maybe the Dark One creates emotions, whereas the Creator creates matter.
  15. I think unto each their own. Ie we all have different interests, so not everyone will find every sentence of the books fascinating. I quite like the description of the ordinary things, like the clothes, for the same reasons Heavy mentioned, whereas the battle scenes mostly bore me.
  16. Well, since none of them won in the end, but at least Ishi lasted for 3000 years, I would give the price to him.
  17. Welcome back! It's always wonderful to see old members return πŸ™‚
  18. I like most that he turned the "magic" into something that's more science / physics based. Like you think that it could almost be real ... like you can treeeeetch and touch the Source ... LoL
  19. Your imagination reflects what is written in the Books. The show Tower looks about as squat and appealing as my ex's tackle.
  20. I love Anaiya! She's a pretty good Aes Sedai, in my opinion.
  21. Aaahhh Whitecloaks aren't SO bad - I have the Lord Captain Commander to tea, sometimes! Obviously we each bring our own ... one can never be too careful πŸ™‚ Anyhoo ... welcome to Dragonmount! I hope we'll see you around the White Tower Social Group.
  22. I agree with you, Bodewhin! Can't remember how many times I've re-read ... definitely over 30 times for the older books. I do a reread at least twice a year .. lol! Last one ended just about 2 months ago.
  23. So very glad you joined at last! And I'm with you on mourning the dormant groups. It feels like my home has turned into a ghost town. I've been reading WoT as long as you have, and been on DM (following the same path you did) since somewhere in 2006. Hopefully, you'll help to revive some of those wonderful groups - hit me up if you want info or help πŸ™‚
