Im just hoping we get more seasons for the inevitable "Main character is now Cadsuane" energy. Its gonna happen. Just wait. My time is nigh.

From a Lore perspective it actually makes a ton of sense - to me. And would be on brand. Wilders do all channeling based on need. They would not see the OP the same way as those trained within the rigid constraints as Aes Sedai. There are ups and downs to this though. It would allow for more flexibility and "inventing" but also would not allow for as much finesse. Take for example Lan and Rand early on. Both had killed a trolloc using a sword. Rand out of the need to survive - and Lan because he's just a certified badass. Nobody would argue that luck didn't play a HUGE role on Rands early survival ... maybe the Creators hand tipping the scale a bit. But still they were both officially "swordsmen" in that they had done battle, drawn blood, and survived. Lan would have absolutely wiped the floor with Rand. ------------------- Also Aes Sedai who are already locked into the mentality that - there is a specific weave...with specific motions and specific amounts of power drawn from threads would immediately blame - lack of training. Because in there eyes if they haven't seen, learned, and practiced a weave - how could they do something? Its that rigid mentality that likely caused much to be lost in the breaking, and why we "rediscovered" weaves later. That said there are ups and downs. A Wilders shield likely wouldn't be up to snuff against a full trained AS who put in the hours. I'd take Cadsuane shielding me over a billion wilders.

Want to play along? XD

Fun little AI music thread over...hmm Where did I put that thing.. ah.. here.

My reply to SD's Graendal. Mesaana https://www.udio.com/songs/vwZCj4PgNansXPHiZ6B3Cn

Here is one based on the Yellow 🙂 Seraphim of Yellow https://www.udio.com/songs/woLnUitLow7hdZCD4Fnu6t

Here is a Greenie - last battle inspired song. March of the Green https://www.udio.com/songs/6bk11hStZ3NRQTzDn32RjL

The reason SD says "supposed to be" is that udio does not allow covers to be created in order to avoid copyright issues. That said you can DEFINITELY tell what he was shooting for haha. Especially in Graendal.

Figured I would start off with my most recent and best tuned one. It was inspired by Saidar. So.. yeah 😛 This is the glamrock version cuz SD said it should be more like ABBA then Dolly - which was my original version lol. Calai'shin Saidar (glamrock mix) https://www.udio.com/songs/idQLFPdDLYiCheyULSAD9a

So recently SD and I have been sorta dueling banjos over on Udio, plugging lyrics into an AI assisted music generator. Some of the creations have been straight fire so I figured I would drop a thread here letting us and anyone else who wishes to play along's creations.

Out of curiosity was it an original work or just a midi of a song from the game?

I still have my original but I might get a backup...for...reasons lol

Bronze. I actually love bronze jewelry

I still had my greenie necklace so...maybe the Forsaken Chosen seal next hehe

Just a heads up, Badali now has the rights to make even more jewelry again. While they have not brought back the Ashaman pins yet they have added Moiraine's Kisiera (Neck, Head, and Ear), The Flame of Tar Valon Ajah necklaces, the Dragons Fang necklace, The Flame of Tar Valon bracelet, Flame of Tar Valon Ajah earrings, and a spiffy set (bronze or silver) Forsaken Seal. ooooo

Rules: One upmanship at its finest. The sillier the better! Here is how it began.... CaddySedai: I used to walk ten miles from home to the local internet cafe in order to post every day on the 14.4k modem. 56k? Hah… you think we had Sean Connery money? No. We had 14.4k and we liked it. During winter it was in six to eight feet of snow - uphill both ways - and under that snow it was just nothing but broken glass and old razor blades. Back then we didn’t have any shoes - you just walked so much the soles of our feet turned into leather. And you know what, we had fun. And we liked it. And we never complained. SinisterDeath: Man you were loaded! Back in my day, we trained pigeons to delivery binary code for our internet! CaddySedai: Oh man...I would have to apologize then for any bandwidth drops.... You see I was so poor we often had to eat those pigeons just to save up enough money to be able to afford to even say the words AT&T. SinisterDeath: You ate? F'in rich you were. If we weren't working 30 hours a day, we were lucky if we got rock soup for dinner! CaddySedai: You had 30 hours to work in a day? What were you - made of money? I actually had to sell back all the hours in the day and only have about 1 minute 14 seconds left.
