I thought it was originally a -woman- bound in a circle, but in ToM it's now a -man- bound in a circle.

Is this the same angreal she was clawing away from Lanfear, or is there some mistake?


I was confused with the angreal too, if not in regards to the sex of the acrobat. I remembered in FoH, right before Moiraine attacks Lanfear, where she thinks something like (and I'm paraphrasing here): "Lanfear kept turning the angreal over in her hands. Moiraine did not like that carved circle of ivory. At first glance it appeared to be an acrobat bending backwards clutching his own ankles. Closer inspection showed that his hands were actually bound to his ankles".

I wonder why she kept it after leaving the Tower of Ghenjei, since it's being hinted at here that the thing is pretty nasty. But maybe her reaction is because of something she saw in one of the Finn realms? Perhaps she connected the bracelet to the information she was given on her fate from the Finns? I suppose I'd hate the thing too, if I knew it would be strapped onto me so that those bastards could get more pleasure out of sucking out what is more or less my soul.

But all the angreal we've seen the Light use have been pretty friendly-looking. You've got peaceful women draped in hair, pretty cloud bowls, Robert Jordan: the ultimate librarian, a nice little music box, a white rod, and all sorts of other jolly ones. This one seems pretty weird and creepy.

No mistake. It's a figure of an acrobat bent backwards with "his" hands bound to "his" feet. - 02/12/2010 08:05:45 PM 910 Views

I always assumed it was an angreal made by someone on team evil - 04/12/2010 09:49:37 PM 689 Views
maybe what happened to her was her Price? - 05/12/2010 09:40:26 AM 663 Views
I don't think so from her statements later - 05/12/2010 03:19:02 PM 673 Views
No, I don't mean that she knew that would happen. - 05/12/2010 05:55:35 PM 788 Views
