Egwene and the WIse Ones don't know the most basic thing about Teleranriod guttering flame Send a noteboard - 02/12/2010 10:43:16 PM
The Wise Ones are supposed to be the authority figures regarding the Dreamworld but there's one very basic thing they never showed any evidence of knowing:

When you are in Teleranriod your very soul is your body there and if you die you will never be reborn.

This gap in their knowledge is simply horrible.

I hoped that Perrin will tell Egwene this during their meeting in dream-Tower. That she would realize that she hadn't just killed Nicole she'd killed her forever.

IIRC Nicola was killed by a Black Ajah Sister and Egwene had tried to save her. - 02/12/2010 10:52:01 PM 1158 Views
Yes, I meant allowing her near the battle in the first place - 03/12/2010 06:28:45 AM 762 Views
And who would enforce those rules? - 03/12/2010 12:42:33 PM 880 Views
Also, I'm not sure how you could expect the Wise Ones to know that. - 03/12/2010 02:51:43 PM 754 Views
How do you figure? - 02/12/2010 10:55:15 PM 961 Views
Re: How do you figure? - 02/12/2010 11:06:29 PM 1050 Views
may, being the operative word. - 02/12/2010 11:12:49 PM 874 Views
except for the part of the soul that stays in the sleeping body, like they've explained many times. *NM* - 02/12/2010 11:16:43 PM 419 Views
mmm fair point. maybe if you were there "too strongly"? - 02/12/2010 11:18:50 PM 878 Views
right. but i dont think 'too strongly' ever means completely. maybe in the flesh or something *NM* - 03/12/2010 01:24:38 AM 445 Views
This doesn't make a lot of sense - 03/12/2010 06:37:02 AM 816 Views
They also told Perrin that about... - 03/12/2010 12:55:57 AM 961 Views
yes, that is another confounding factor - 03/12/2010 09:14:35 AM 818 Views
Oh, I see. - 02/12/2010 11:45:37 PM 921 Views

He isn't a wolfbrother - 03/12/2010 05:43:06 AM 893 Views
Maybe he hadn't discovered it yet. - 03/12/2010 06:21:22 AM 797 Views
He'd be a shadowbrother-brother - 03/12/2010 06:51:59 AM 728 Views
You raise an interesting possibility - 03/12/2010 06:44:18 AM 993 Views
Wolfbrothers are going to be part of the next age. - 03/12/2010 07:05:30 AM 753 Views
I thought they were just a transitional thing - 03/12/2010 07:13:17 AM 839 Views
I doubt it, that Age is ours. - 03/12/2010 09:33:03 PM 753 Views
Uhm, TOTALLY. - 03/12/2010 10:00:01 PM 712 Views
GASP! *NM* - 04/12/2010 06:59:09 AM 492 Views

Re: So... - 04/12/2010 10:12:45 AM 793 Views
Of course... - 05/12/2010 08:21:05 PM 885 Views
If the first age is the Technological / Scientific Age - 06/12/2010 06:33:18 AM 861 Views
I don't see why they would have to be unique themes. - 06/12/2010 07:04:08 AM 792 Views
I don't even know why they're supposed to be mutually exclusive. *NM* - 06/12/2010 07:37:35 AM 416 Views
Re: I don't see why they would have to be unique themes. - 06/12/2010 08:14:15 AM 775 Views
uhm, duh, stonehedge. - 04/12/2010 07:11:44 PM 745 Views
That's far from "the most basic" thing and it is entirely excusable that they do not know it. - 02/12/2010 11:17:46 PM 923 Views
It could be extrapolated from the fact that it's souls that inhabit it - 03/12/2010 06:54:40 AM 800 Views
You're caving to bias from being outside the story with more information than any single character. - 03/12/2010 09:13:12 AM 818 Views
Don't forget the Heroes - 03/12/2010 09:34:43 AM 702 Views
I think that she meant that comment as more for the "hero" version - 03/12/2010 10:57:38 AM 758 Views
Maybe this should be a question for Sanderson? - 03/12/2010 11:43:54 AM 771 Views
that's only because you're stubbornly holding to yours, despite everyone indicating its errors *NM* - 03/12/2010 05:29:15 PM 488 Views
Obviously my tenacity indicates that I have a worthy point - 03/12/2010 07:06:18 PM 587 Views
Perrin doesn't count since his information is from Hopper - 03/12/2010 09:58:01 PM 787 Views
So it's my evidence against your non-evidence? - 04/12/2010 06:05:41 AM 847 Views
why are you assuming that all souls are the same? - 04/12/2010 07:18:10 PM 1057 Views
1. You're wrong. 2. Even if you're right, how would they know? - 03/12/2010 05:28:33 AM 1005 Views
Maybe, but I bet they can spell it. - 03/12/2010 05:43:28 AM 835 Views
Incidentally, wouldn't that mean it is safer to go to Tel'aran'rhiod in the flesh? *NM* - 03/12/2010 09:35:21 PM 416 Views
I'm more inclined to believe that being killed in the flesh in TAR - 04/12/2010 07:35:15 PM 702 Views
Where does that reasoning begin? - 04/12/2010 07:53:42 PM 1268 Views
Perhaps it's more of a matter that the "usual route" may be altered? - 04/12/2010 10:20:51 PM 682 Views
But human souls don't go to Tel'aran'rhiod, from what we know. - 04/12/2010 11:19:53 PM 701 Views
maybe it does? - 05/12/2010 12:18:05 AM 1032 Views
So do we have any reason to believe this is the case? *NM* - 05/12/2010 02:48:48 AM 401 Views
I don't think so. It's not really something that's discussed - 05/12/2010 03:19:37 AM 563 Views
I'm pondering too - 05/12/2010 03:04:10 PM 861 Views
Not @ all - if humans regularly go to TAR after they die, we'd have seen it already. Heroes would - 04/12/2010 01:28:45 AM 879 Views
that would have been decidedly clever. *NM* - 04/12/2010 07:18:52 PM 359 Views
