I also believe this was one of the reasons why it became eventually impossible to travel, and they just lost the knowledge.

Even so, THE obvious reason was that RJ needed is main characters to learn those new weaves and give them only to the ones they choose fit to use it. This gives a major advantage to the lightside for the Forsaken have shared that info with relatively few people before now.




To Travel, you need to know your point of departure in any case, not your destination.


Perhaps the upheaval of the continental shifts prevented AS from being able to Travel at all during a period of the Breaking. If the landscape was in constant flux perhaps it became impossible to "learn" your point of origin sufficiently enough to make a gateway.

All I'm saying, is that Travelling would STILL be a very usefull survival tool during the Breaking.. - 20/08/2010 03:44:59 PM 997 Views

I don't think that creating cuendillar and 'angreals was common knowledge. - 20/08/2010 05:06:20 PM 866 Views

They could use Rand's trick from TGS. - 21/08/2010 01:06:33 AM 766 Views

Maybe Aes Sedai treated weaves like Intellectual Property - 20/08/2010 09:49:12 PM 791 Views

That's because most of the major people in WoT are powerful channelers. - 21/08/2010 04:13:04 AM 824 Views

How did Moiraine learn balefire then? *NM* - 21/08/2010 05:04:27 PM 1038 Views
figured it out on her own, don't forget that Nyn used it too against the Fades in TDR. *NM* - 21/08/2010 05:12:15 PM 390 Views
That's a stretch - Moiraine never demonstrated any creative talent with the OP... - 21/08/2010 06:15:01 PM 807 Views
OK, I'll buy Vandene teaching it, but not learning it from a written description *NM* - 21/08/2010 06:35:46 PM 398 Views
I myself can't buy Vandene teaching that weave to any Sister - 24/08/2010 04:06:26 PM 818 Views
Me neither... - 24/08/2010 05:50:24 PM 864 Views
Mispost.. *NM* - 25/08/2010 02:51:02 PM 456 Views
I disagree - Moiraine's wilder tricks show that she is quite creative with the OP - 24/08/2010 03:31:06 PM 810 Views

We know of her trick with stones and light from 'New Spring' IIRC - 25/08/2010 02:40:26 PM 954 Views
