According To The Big Book Of Bad Art ClubCaved Send a noteboard - 07/05/2010 11:25:20 PM
The following quotes on pages 30-31 explain the process:

from page 30: "In a method called 'seed singing,' Ogier (a separate race of beings gifted with the ability to aid and enhance growing things), Nym, and Da'shain Aiel worked as a team, focusing the One Power to insure perfect growth for every field they 'sang.'"

from page 31 (after describing chora tress as "constructs": The Nym, another construct, were sentient beings with the ability to utilize the One Power for the benefit of plants and growing things."

In other words, the Nym were living ter'angreals. The process probably had the Nym using the OP to focus the combined voices of Ogier and Aiel men blessed with the ability to seed sing to produce crops free from destructive insects or disease. With the last Nym dead at the Eye Of The World, the entire process falls apart. The Tinkers are NEVER going to find the song.

The Song--how it worked and why it was lost--OGIERS ARE NOT ARTIFICIAL saidarisnowtainted - 06/05/2010 03:25:18 AM 1837 Views

There is a song, and maybe Rand will return it to them. FanEditor10 - 12/05/2010 07:31:32 AM 974 Views
I don't feel like going into the Song nonsense again. As for the Tinkers/Jenn... krassos - 12/05/2010 11:51:34 PM 1096 Views
They DID fail the Aes Sedai; at least in their own eyes. FanEditor10 - 16/05/2010 04:59:38 AM 3608 Views
seriously? damookster - 17/05/2010 01:03:09 AM 865 Views
The Jenn didn't fail the Aes Sedai. krassos - 17/05/2010 04:06:47 PM 932 Views
it seems more likely that the sin is giving up the Way of the Leaf Jim - 19/05/2010 11:14:38 PM 1012 Views
FYI, more likely to be Perrin, IMO newyorkersedai - 13/05/2010 02:06:49 AM 1145 Views
because Rand was the very first person ever to see that at Rhuidan? damookster - 13/05/2010 05:04:40 AM 882 Views
I'm quite sure the Ogier are not artificial bobsledai - 06/05/2010 11:32:17 AM 1037 Views
Yeah, RJ said this even Etzel - 06/05/2010 11:54:23 AM 1057 Views
I thought RJ said something about the Ogier being from another planet? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/05/2010 02:44:21 PM 965 Views
This can be inferred from discussion of the Book of Translation *NM* Marshall - 10/05/2010 10:04:05 PM 498 Views
The song was "Hey Soul Sister" by Train. It was lost when the last ter'angreal Ipod broke. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/05/2010 02:41:42 PM 938 Views

That's not how his insanity was portrayed. Fanatic-Templar - 11/05/2010 02:23:08 AM 908 Views
If it weren't a Seed Song, why're the Nym needed? if not needed why did they forget how to sing? Mjolner - 11/05/2010 04:48:12 AM 862 Views
From where did you get the idea that Nym were needed? Fanatic-Templar - 11/05/2010 05:11:15 AM 909 Views
I got the part about the Nym from a sub thread in this post. One you commented on. Keep up man. Mjolner - 11/05/2010 05:42:14 AM 943 Views
My only post in other subthreads is a joke response to File Leader, I think? Fanatic-Templar - 11/05/2010 06:52:22 AM 960 Views
The Voice is a talent like travelling for Aes Sedai. The capitalized Sing is for Aiel. Mjolner - 11/05/2010 01:41:10 PM 797 Views
