I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM
Just because it seems somewhat thematic to have them be able to check him if necessary.


Seems significant that there is a Trinity of specific strength women directly associated to Rands life.


Min is the other woman, not Egwene. There can't just suddenly be a trinity involving Egwene to control Rand.

I think those three women were made equal to remove any sense of deferring between them. Not that they necessarily would, but when Nynaeve's around you kind of forget about Elayne. Considering Elayne, Egwene and Aviendha did a few things together, RJ made them equal in one way so that we'd forget about it.


Just that Rand has these 3 women (who have all be love interests) around him and they are all identical in Power. Just seems to fall into that category of "trinity" to me. I doubt anything will ever come of it other than the fact that it's another set of 3 around him. Didn't Linda do a whole numerology post back on wotmania??

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 2254 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1320 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1402 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1466 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1499 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1391 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1253 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 1241 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 1118 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 1175 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1331 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 1238 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 1208 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 1199 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 1203 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 1249 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 1142 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 1254 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 1147 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 1215 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 1196 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 1142 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 1208 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 1200 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 1215 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 1132 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 2118 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1296 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 1193 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 1178 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 1134 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1325 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1324 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 1122 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 1156 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 1196 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 1199 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1344 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1347 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 1170 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1301 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1310 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 1236 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 1297 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1237 Views

So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM 662 Views

Hehehe! Classic. Maybe his hands were full of her...err..Globes of Fire... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:47:35 PM 1134 Views
I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1246 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 1033 Views

Uh... Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:08:01 AM 1121 Views
I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1282 Views
That's wrong. Rand said 2 AS + Moghedien could threaten him Logain - 16/06/2010 05:17:33 PM 1245 Views
Huh. I forgot about that. LordPerrin - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1323 Views
go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 1156 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 1177 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 1079 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 978 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1308 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 1167 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 1176 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 1153 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 1164 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 1210 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1294 Views
