Is the oath rod one of the nine rods of dominion? i vaguely remember at least one other rod.. Just a random thought i had.

Point taken 🙂 its just that there’s no examples of people healing from a distance. Dahmer Flin does it by hovering his hand over people, but no one heals from distances.

She’d totally be discovered in a sweat tent. Can’t hide it there. And it’s their only way of cleaning themselves, gotta use one eventually.

It’s a decent question, he caused war, lots of people died, Ghealdanin was destabilized. Gentiling and excecution would have been a reasonable punishment. Logain was not a darkfriend though. And Aes Sedai only kill darkfriends. That’s probably the most likely answer I think.

If Nynaeve saw that question she would likely pull on her braid. ill make a guess.. 300 times !

The problem is that you have to touch them to heal them(or at least be very close to them). And if someone trusts you enough to heal them, or they are too weak to stop you from touching then, it’s just easier to kill them with other weaves. Using the power to stop a heart from beating takes very little power. Semirhage was a great healer in her day, but she “always took a little bit more for herself” I not sure if that meant she caused unecessary pain with the process or if she added weaves that caused pain on top of it. If anyone could/would kill with healing it was her.

I couldn’t agree more about the ACCURATE depiction of Jordan’s story. The quickest way to make something not stand the test of time is for the producers and directors to insert uneccesary sociopolitical statements of their times into a work of art.

Jain is an interesting topic. he says: ”Mat, if you ever see a Malkierie, you tell him Jain died clean” That line always had me wondering, if Jain was the guardian for Lan’s brother Isam/Luc, and he failed in protecting Isam/Luc, Leaving him in that twisted town in the blight to grow up as a child and become Slayer. That town would be a logical place for Ishy to capture Jain. Lan had Bakuma to raise, teach, and protect him and Luc had Jain. But Jain failed cause he was captured early in Luc’s life.

The Perrin chapters in towers of midnight and memory of light make up for all the dragged out parts. Those chapters are so epic!!

I agree with Solarz. Also, Olver has that major role at the end of the last battle. But in all fairness, that wasn’t known in 2006.

No one is really happy with Fains ending. I think it would have been much cooler if Shaisam showed up on the battlefield while Bao the Wyld is winning. Shaisam should just be randomly attacking and converting whoever is in its way. He would be doing the most damage to the Sharans, Then the most powerful forsaken with one of the most powerful Sa’Angreal would have been forced to fight Shaisam and multiple converted Sharan channelers. Of Course Demandred would win but how damaged would his forces be from the confrontation? That could have been a much more epic ending for Fain/Mordeth/Shaisam. (another way to end Fain would be to have some sort of battle between Machin Shin and Mashadar, where they annihilate each other. )

Victims of Spanking in WoT; Elayne. Nyneave Siuan Elaida Alviarin Moghedian Galina Jolene (that one was funny 😆) And of course, Egween....possibly the most spanked character in any story, ever. Thats’s 9 ! Am I missing anyone? I don’t remember Min ever getting it, or Aviendha.. maybe Colavere 🤔

Tenobia gets killed in MoL. She’s in the middle of the battle and gets swallowed by Trollic Hordes. the Darkness around bashere is the Compulsion used on him(and all the great generals) to sway the last battle in the shadows favor.

That’s cool too! you could almost re-write each chapter from different perspectives, and get a whole new pile of foreshadowing.

Love your passion ! I see it a lil bit differently though. Laman cut down the Avendesora tree and made a throne out of it, a very very dishonorable thing to do, Aiel are pissed and they are coming for him. but he’s a king, so he tries to protect himself with his army(s) if the army stood aside the Aiel would have just killed Laman and gone home. from the Aiel point of view, the wetlander Army(s) did the dishonorable thing and tried to protect the Tree Killer. Therefore they are all teee killers. They have no honor and should be treated as such. Some nations came to Lamans aid, but the Aiel kept going till they captured and killed Laman. Then they went home. in their mind everyone from Cairhein stood in the way of their mission to kill Laman, and they are nearly as bad as Laman himself.
