Re: Please find me a supporting quote in one of the books. Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 27/12/2010 03:11:26 PM
I do not recall seeing any restriction of that kind on Skimming. You do not have to be 'very familiar' with the place you are going to - you just have to know where you want to go.


Yeah, didn't Rand skim to Illian, where he had never been before? I can't recall what method he used, and I don't have the books handy.

Also, the Kin could have skimmed either way. i.e. they could have opened the gate in the house to a place they knew, or they could have skimmed from a place they knew to the house.

Yes, RJ confirmed that Shadowspawn can't survive gateways. *NM* Lord Haart - 24/12/2010 07:39:02 PM 453 Views
And then BS confirmed that gholam are "more perfected" Shadowspawn which can. *NM* moratcorlm - 24/12/2010 08:35:34 PM 455 Views
Read the post I responded too. I know that. Lord Haart - 26/12/2010 11:58:40 AM 934 Views
Why would them not being able to survive a gateway be a problem? DREWRULESWOT! - 26/01/2011 05:36:09 AM 768 Views

They prepared a place, and it just happened to be within walking distance of the attack? rAndy aL - 25/12/2010 09:44:34 AM 851 Views
Please re-read the chapter. It expalins a lot. Skeeve the Great - 25/12/2010 04:05:50 PM 915 Views
Your quote shows what happened. rAndy aL - 26/12/2010 05:33:44 AM 828 Views
Likely picked from a handful of pre-determined locations based on where and when the attack occurred darius_sedai - 31/12/2010 08:47:20 PM 891 Views
Perhaps, but I don't think so. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 01/01/2011 01:19:12 AM 720 Views
Not realty. Caemlyn is huge by the standards of the time but realistically it's tiny darius_sedai - 01/01/2011 06:05:06 AM 768 Views
The sizes I proposed are not huge (well, they would be by standards in the middle ages but not now) ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 04/01/2011 06:37:50 AM 702 Views
I believe Caemlyn is less than 300k people .... That's what .05% the size of London? darius_sedai - 30/01/2011 06:02:50 PM 745 Views
You aren't seriously comparing modern population densities to medieval ones, are you? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/01/2011 09:23:57 PM 434 Views
Of course not darius_sedai - 30/01/2011 09:30:47 PM 782 Views
That would be an error if it hadn't been Skimming (the platform and what not) they were using. Chas - 25/12/2010 02:29:39 AM 810 Views
It is an error because they opened a skimming gateway to the house (from the skimming place) rAndy aL - 25/12/2010 09:47:08 AM 807 Views

I'm confused now as to what you're arguing. They knew the location of the house. Chas - 26/12/2010 08:54:17 PM 792 Views
You need to know more than just where you are going rAndy aL - 27/12/2010 06:59:21 AM 815 Views

Well, from Encyclopaedia WOT, and aCoS rAndy aL - 28/12/2010 01:02:42 AM 911 Views
I stand corrected. Though I will say that the uses in the books don't match the definition. Chas - 28/12/2010 02:17:43 PM 867 Views
Not that hard if you think about it darius_sedai - 30/01/2011 09:39:34 PM 862 Views
