a reasonable assumption of imminent harm is not basis for use of deadly force. sadly in the US most states have made even defending yourself illegal. by the letter of the law regardless of jurisdiction perrins best choice would have been surrender if only because it might have saved some hassle down the line. still would have required rescue but the treatment might have been a bit better.

I'm not sure what does qualify as a reasonable assumption of imminent harm, but this is literally the equivalent of a black man finding himself surrounded by Klu Klux Klan members and being prosecuted for striking out with a hand tool against a group armed with fire arms...

If a man is minding his own business and a bunch of rabid people (well-known info on WC) show up, the incidental fact that they planned on kidnapping him first and only killing him a month later cannot be considered evidence against him. He was acting in self-defense.

As to the Gaul incident, that is far more complex. The attack on Gaul and his friend was unwarranted. The later imprisoning of him was unjustified. This of course puts all subsequent actions in a gray light. Illegal, but justified. Killing whitecloaks, again not on soil in which they have any domain may perhaps have been and illegal killing, such that the crown of that country could have stated categorically not to involve themselves in, or it could be again self-defense as, regardless of the illegality of the justified act, in this case it is much clearer that the WC attacked Perrin and Gaul...

should we consider pessimistically that Gaul was an invader, and the imprisonment was thus justified, Perrin is an enemy combatant. As a combatant, and due to Geneva rules, he is entitled to imprisonment until end of hostilities, to then be returned to home country.

Maybe you can destroy it with Balefire woven of Saidin and Saidar.

Pretty sure balefire is just balefire even if woven with two sources, as a matter of fact should double woven be somehow stronger than ordinary balefire that should just make it stronger...

The Dreamspike was destroyed by lava, so any high temperature source should have no problem destroying it...

Apparently it is not like the adam, which resisted Elayne fire weave.

Cuellindar is destroyed by 3000 yrs of exposure to corruption and decay a la the DO, never heard of TP being effective.

Loved it all

when you...

... use phrases "more people know Jack Fool, than Jack Fool knows" Lini's "I'm old enough that if I make a saying it still an old saying" etc.

... walk around telling people, here try this book. Nah that's just a healthy interest.

... think a little saidin/saidar could solve the problem your in.

... are more invested in the outcome of the story than your own life (that's just sad, but it still describes me)

Look, you probably can't walk up to Galad and convince him that all Whitecloaks are rabid dogs that need to be put down.

But with Morgase he could without any equivocation of circumstances, just said "I was in the wilderness and I saw whitecloaks, I tried to hide and they pursued me until they found me (illegal behavior on their part in Andor) and they raised their lances and commanded me (an Andoran citizen) to exit at lance point. I killed them in self defense. They would have taken me without cause believing that I am DF, their command was behavior preliminary to arrest, their arrest would result in only one outcome that they would assume I am a DF. That conclusion on their part would result in my torture and eventual death, so I was responding to an imminent threat on my life.

assumption 1. Warder training is top of the top, no one in the world matches.

Fact 1. Galad sticks out as being best of the best in this group.

assumption 2. Hammar is a blade master

Fact 2. Gawyn kills Hammar

Fact 3. Galad is way better than Gawyn as a student.

assumption 3. Galad continues to grow in his skill until he fight Valda.

? what the heck is going on in that fight ? how can it be Eamon has a chance ?
