Given how often Prophecies are right in that world... Gher Send a noteboard - 01/07/2010 02:33:21 AM
It makes a bit of sense. There are all kinds of mystical magical things going on around them. I can see a prophecy originating that says once the Giant Hand melts the entire hill, the world is going to really go downhill. Add that to how feared the Choeden Kal were, and general corruption over time, plus an all-but-proven belief in reincarnation, and the mass suicide I suppose makes sense.



It's fanatical, but given how the WoT world works, it makes sense. Stupid? Yes. Stupidest thing ever? No.

Can't agree with all of those. Fanatic-Templar - 30/06/2010 10:58:25 PM 978 Views
Yeah, I disagree too... Gher - 01/07/2010 02:28:13 AM 957 Views

Difficult to say. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 05:09:46 AM 848 Views
Curse you, I had to go look up Nynaeve's Testing. Gher - 01/07/2010 06:20:06 PM 875 Views
Nope, still can't agree. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:40:25 PM 778 Views
I'm not going to argue that it's a good test Gher - 01/07/2010 08:51:31 PM 739 Views

Yes, I suppose they could. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:16:38 PM 848 Views

and those crazy comet people in San Diego in the late 90's too! darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 03:49:59 PM 794 Views
Perhaps. krassos - 30/06/2010 10:23:42 PM 793 Views
IMO that makes them even worse! darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 10:33:03 PM 737 Views
Considering that their system of belief... krassos - 30/06/2010 11:55:12 PM 714 Views
But they could have played a part Singing, just like the Tinkers to which they're related may do *NM* Lordling - 01/07/2010 09:08:46 AM 399 Views
Because their feeble ability to sing to crops would really come in handy. krassos - 01/07/2010 05:43:03 PM 876 Views
There are other SOngs than seed-singing. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:26:54 PM 788 Views
Even if there are. They've been lost. And humanity has lost that Talent. krassos - 01/07/2010 10:28:30 PM 651 Views
Only second-hand. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 10:49:58 PM 930 Views
the Tinkers will at least make themselves useful as we saw in the BoEF darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 03:49:08 PM 731 Views
The Tinkers are also on the mainland... krassos - 01/07/2010 05:36:40 PM 642 Views
to be fair, if I were an Amayar I would try to respawn as well *NM* BlackAdder - 01/07/2010 04:29:02 AM 744 Views

Well, yes, but that's only temporary . Fanatic-Templar - 02/07/2010 12:27:07 AM 836 Views
From my perspective, that is meaningless. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 10:52:22 PM 649 Views
