Re: I disagree about the TP aspect Datakim Send a noteboard - 26/07/2010 02:30:11 AM

in order to get addicted, he had to use the tp multiple times at least. one time is not enough to grow dependent on any substance. that means the do will have to sacrifice the rest of his forsaken basically


Not totally addicted perhaps, but it was described that Rand did have what might be called TP-cravings. He seemed to hold them off by using the Choedan Kal to get his "fix". If not for that, and given Rands insanity, it is not beyond possibility that Rand might have eventually slipped and used TP again.

I wonder for example if Rand was at all tempted to enter Far Madding and kill the in his mind traitorous borderlander-leaders with TP. What if he had not had CK or Nynaeve around, what would have happened?

Or the meeting with Tuon. Might he have convinced himself to draw just a little extra TP for safety reasons, if he had not had CK to give him that extra power.

And so on.

I don't think that Semirhage was sacrificed Etzel - 25/07/2010 08:36:47 AM 860 Views

It's an interesting theory in either direction darius_sedai - 25/07/2010 04:54:31 PM 694 Views

I don't know if Semirhage was sacrificed or not. Either way the Semirhage quote set up tGS 6 books RabidWombat - 26/07/2010 02:29:59 AM 663 Views

I'd say that there was a pre-meditated plan or backup plan to sacrifice Semirhage Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 09:02:44 AM 646 Views

Moridin and SH knew that the CK could never defeat the dark one so they were happy to leave it Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 05:56:56 PM 642 Views

I fail to see the relevance. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 27/07/2010 02:06:27 AM 254 Views
the relevance is that it was impossible without the CK Sidious - 27/07/2010 05:25:45 AM 506 Views

??? The CK in the hands of a madman is exactly what the Dark One needs to destroy the pattern Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 07:01:13 AM 581 Views
So why not give it to Moridin then? Sidious - 27/07/2010 10:54:47 AM 581 Views
If their plan of taking Rand to Shayol Ghul suceeded then the CK was no longer needed Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 03:39:58 PM 577 Views
Could be simple. How do you find an object that "lies hidden"? Mik - 27/07/2010 04:17:35 PM 553 Views
It could be, but I would still think they would have noticed the CK sitting next to the male a'dam Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 04:34:45 PM 547 Views
Not if Moridin sensed it, instead of seeing it. Mik - 27/07/2010 08:12:25 PM 551 Views

I agree with DomA *NM* *NM* RabidWombat - 27/07/2010 03:44:51 AM 253 Views
That last line had me laughing! (right on the money too, by the way) *NM* Mik - 27/07/2010 02:58:20 PM 237 Views
I don't believe in foreshadowing that you can figure out from the actual plot. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/07/2010 08:42:11 PM 540 Views
