Shadowspawn are corrupted versions of real living creatures - humans/trollocs, wolves/darkhounds, etc. They breed and create their own offspring, hence the word spawn.


Draghkar? Jumara? Any number of nameless creatures in the blight? Only some shadowspawn fit that description...

A case can be made as to why gholams might be immune to gateway death, but that would require them being an exception to a rule that no artificial life-forms (constructs) can travel. Rand only says that shadowspawn are affected, but RJ extended that to all constructs.


A point here may be that constructs can't travel through Traveling Gateways because even though they don't feel the sensation Traveling may be essentially an unmaking and remaking process, you are transmitting your pattern through the pattern. Skimming on the other hand might well be different because the gateway is transmitting you into a different dimension just like the Ways do. And shadowspawn can travel the Ways. If Mat and Elayne were knowledgeable they might have put an end to the gholam with a traveling gateway instead of a Skimming one.

Yes, RJ confirmed that Shadowspawn can't survive gateways. *NM* - 24/12/2010 07:39:02 PM 453 Views
And then BS confirmed that gholam are "more perfected" Shadowspawn which can. *NM* - 24/12/2010 08:35:34 PM 455 Views
Read the post I responded too. I know that. - 26/12/2010 11:58:40 AM 934 Views
Why would them not being able to survive a gateway be a problem? - 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? - 25/12/2010 09:44:34 AM 851 Views
Please re-read the chapter. It expalins a lot. - 25/12/2010 04:05:50 PM 915 Views
Your quote shows what happened. - 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 - 31/12/2010 08:47:20 PM 891 Views
Perhaps, but I don't think so. - 01/01/2011 01:19:12 AM 720 Views
That would be an error if it hadn't been Skimming (the platform and what not) they were using. - 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) - 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. - 26/12/2010 08:54:17 PM 792 Views
You need to know more than just where you are going - 27/12/2010 06:59:21 AM 815 Views
