Verin had a few things going for her.

• Browns are known to be reclusive.
• Sisters do not often intrude on other Sister's plans.
• The Black's structure is highly convoluted.
• There was so much cross planning between Ajah's, let alone individual Black Hearts, that it's impossible to know what would be going against another's plan.
• The simple ability to lie.

So even if someone had asked Verin about the bag she could, and very likely would, have just lied about it's contents. Make it uninteresting enough and no one is going to want to open it to look.

Whoa, where is this information from? I never imagined Faile that young. I always pictured her as about 20, same as the main characters.

Faile, per the wiki, is 17 when the Great Hunt is called. Now over all this does put her three years younger than Perrin, But she is the same age as Elayne and Egwene.

As far as the relationship type I don't think it will be as problematic if they portray it differently. We live in a post 50 Shades world, after all, and a strong, independent, woman who wants to be dominated and be with a man can be assertive, and respects her enough to let her do her own thing - while being right there to rescue her if something goes wrong? Hardly a bad thing with the right lense.

I remember that one!! 😁

That was the very last siggy I had here. After taking over the Light Faction, becoming a Sword Commander in the Warders back when we were trying the discipline thing.

Someone please post sigs that have nothing to do with me before this is really just the "Who is Del" thread! 

You asked so sure. Take a look at this beauty.

(I... Just don't know how you go from being the best service for hosting photos to the worst service in the span of a year...)

It had been a while since I had checked mine. But when I tried to log in after returning my entire account was gone.

As for how that happens it's easy: greed. They wanted more for what they were offering.

If you hosted the pictures on photobucket or something they're probably on your old photobucket - not DM.

Only if you kept your photobucket account active. I let mine lapse and they purged everything to do with it. I can't even tell you what all I lost that way.

I was very fond of this Black Tower (rotating) one:

 

Oh we can include our BT siggys? I think I still have mine...

I lied, I'm up early and with time to kill. I won't post them all at once though and I won't post the gifs I had of them.

Starting with the worst ones I had created last time I was around...I still don't know what I was thinking.

*mutters* Alright, fine, I'll go through my old external drive tonight. Since we're including ones we made for others too I'll have a plenty to share lol.

Wait you're drinking Taint? Like Shadow Mad Taint?  This would explain so much....

 

But well aged you say?🤔

Well what else would you expect the BT to serve? And yes. Kept in a temperature controlled darkened hideaway. It really should be quite good by now. 

Sanderson was tasked with the impossible: finishing another's work. You can ask any author and they will all agree that even receiving that offer is a nightmare. Add to it that he was a huge fan of RJ, that's a whole new level of pressure. That being said he did the best that he could under the circumstances, and I do believe he has admitted that he was staying as close to the notes that RJ left as well as Harriet's guidance to give us all an ending.

I started reading his own works after the announcement, and I'm glad I did. He has become one of my favorite authors. I like the idea he has about the Cosmere, and the fact that we are getting to see so many different parts of it. What he does with his magic systems is impressive. Warbreaker is a good entry because it is a stand alone story, but I wouldn't hesitate to advise Mistborn, Stormlight, or if you want a light read and super heroes his Reckoners series was a lot of fun.

My old friend, I'm so grateful your path has led you back to us. You're bringing so much fun and wisdom to me personally, and to the WT/W! Lots of love, from Elgee.

 

Thank you Elgee!!

And I don't know who picked that image but it is awesome!

The ironic thing here is you were Leader of the LIGHT Faction, and I was Chosen of the Shadow! 🤣

Are you trying to pitch an enemies to lovers story? I hardly think that this is the right place.

@Elgee One and the same. I stashed some away waaaaay back when I was just a little Soldier.

Yeah and which Tower, specifically? *eyes*

Now @Elgee don't you go worrying about that. *grins*

*grins reassuringly* Why only the finest brew the Black Tower has had to offer. Likely the last too, since it's from my very private reserve and has been aging for a good long while. The infamous Black Tower Taint.

Now Boopsy if you're planning on hosting the Aes Sedai then make sure they've been given plenty to drink.

Not to add too much to your plate at once but I could use a second card due to my unfortunate promotion. 😁

Something that says High Captain and Blademaster. Perhaps with a Tower and twin daggers since that's been my armory of choice for a while. Just no ruby hilts.

I actually like Thom/Moiraine myself.  I just don't think we really get much of the backstory.  I think part of the problem is that we just don't get any of their POV on the subject.  

There's very little POV there, and the only hint we even get to it being a thing is in that letter and even Mat, who really isn't all that observant anyway, was floored.

I'm with you there. I know a lot of people support the Thom/Moraine romance but it really does feel like that came out of nowhere.

At least with Siuan and Gareth you can see something growing between them at Salidar.

I think you've got a pretty good ranking there. I kind of disagree aboout Nyn and Lan being good though. In the scope of it all they spent so much of the books away from each other, and the few times they were together Nyn was a spoiled brat. While Lan did need someone who could tear him away from the whole "All I have to offer is death" kind of thing, I don't think Nyn was the best option.

Definitely agree that Min was the absolute best of the three, and yes Elayne went full Princess mode when she tore Rand's name off of literally everything. The city makes sense, the school was just petulant.

You are awesome! Thank you!!!

Hey Boopsy, if you're still feeling a like stirring up some trouble I could use something new. After all I think I need a fresh start.

Can we start simple with just the name, no titles til I get them sorted, but always must mention the Bluest Blue Helmet for posterity reasons.

I've never understood the 'it is a different turning' perspective.  If it is a different turning, change the names of the characters.  Would make it easier to swallow the other story changes because the differences in the adaptation from the book would be more obvious - for me at least.

 

Birgitte, for example, had many different names and adventures that were tied to her through the Ages.  So if it is another turning change Rand, Egwene, Logain, and etc.  There can be some overlap from events in the books because there are no beginnings, but the differences wouldn't be as jarring and maybe even welcome because it is obviously not the books that were adapted, but the world.  We would expect changes but still have a familiar world that we could comfortably sink in to.

 

🤷‍♂️ Just Monday morning quarterbacking...

Not wrong, but the important note here is "through the ages".

This is still the Third Age, for all we know every Third Age has these same people using the same names. 

The different turning is Rafe's words, but I do think looking at it like a portal world fits a bit better. Yes these are all people and things we are familiar with, but there's just something a little different.
