They likely leave the area before people really figure it out. darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 31/12/2010 07:15:02 PM
It is said at various points in the series that wisdoms who can listen to the wind and who are exceptionally good at healing are in reality channeling. Why are there no indication that these women live to be very old? One would expect at least some of them to become several hundred years old.


Berelaine mentions how Wilders behave to Faile when she is taunting her about Morgase. Eventually people begin to carry tales and then the Wilders tend to run off. Odds are people just don't realize that Mistress Whoever had not really aged before she vanished.

Those women... DomA - 02/01/2011 11:29:48 PM 963 Views
I agree with you ... which is why I pointed out that most of these women leave the area darius_sedai - 09/01/2011 08:09:39 PM 656 Views
Them leaving and moving to a different area is the only reasonable explanation. The Angry Druid - 09/01/2011 02:08:33 AM 763 Views
Actually, it's worse, because she wouldn't be a long-lived OLD woman, but rather a forever-young one *NM* Lord Haart - 09/01/2011 01:36:48 PM 372 Views
