Re: My idea DomA Send a noteboard - 25/06/2010 06:44:31 PM
Basically, the Bore is nothing else than a special, gigantic Gateway drilled with the OP through the Pattern to the DO.


Except it's highly doubtful that's what the Bore is.

Jordan rather described the Bore as a global weakness in the Pattern. It is not even really at Shayol Ghul, and wasn't drilled there either (it was drilled at the Collaam Daan).

I think trying to patch the Pit of Doom is in truth one of the mistakes LTT made, and he realised this as he performed the deed. The Bore is part of Shai'tan manifested in space/time in Creation through the global weakness created by the Drilling. To touch the Bore with the OP is to touch Shai'tan. Rand/LTT knows this is not a viable solution (and Posae's idea of sealing the area of SG would not have worked either).

The "Bore" is a global problem, and to remove it Rand has to deal with the weakness in the Pattern. It's that which needs to be fixed, and this won't be done with a weave or the OP. Manifest effects in the pattern like the Bore will take care of themselves when the weakness in the pattern is removed (ie: when "order and belief make strength";).

How can Rand repair the bore? More importantly, what forms the boundary of the Wheel itself? newyorkersedai - 25/06/2010 01:00:35 AM 1595 Views

The Aiel's insistance is not baseless. They know why they say it is evil. CatherineSedai - 25/06/2010 06:01:08 PM 891 Views
You might be right, but the other idea is far more interesting. *NM* Deadsy - 25/06/2010 10:18:37 PM 423 Views

true, but he's also be transformed in some unknown way. Not sure he really counts as human darius_sedai - 26/06/2010 05:46:46 PM 924 Views

If the Bore is like a Gateway... LoialT - 25/06/2010 06:19:44 PM 884 Views

No, the Bore was drilled through that specific thinness in the Pattern. Etzel - 26/06/2010 03:54:51 PM 847 Views
Yeah.... DomA - 26/06/2010 04:54:50 PM 850 Views
It's absurd. Your idea is clearly wrong, but ok... *NM* Etzel - 26/06/2010 05:00:43 PM 749 Views
