Nynaeve is of course roughly twice as strong as Cadsuane... Shannow Send a noteboard - 24/01/2011 10:26:49 PM
It's just that it sounds unlikely that if/when the channeler is revealed, that it will be Norla. We don't know how much stronger Nyn is than Caddy (or do we)? Still, it's pretty clear that Cadsuane gained her special trinkets when she met Norla. It's much more likely, then, that Norla had the trinkets on. Caddy probably got all haughty, then got schooled (figuratively and literally).


Only that Cadsuane is not as strong as Egwene/Elayne, but was the strongest women to enter the Tower in about 1000 years. The trinkets were something Norla gave Cadsuane over time (she had to earn them IIRC) but it seems unlikely that a woman of less than notable strength would have been able to even grab Cadsuane's attention when she was new to the Shawl and still very wrapped up in her own Strength. No real evidence that Norla could have been stronger than Nynaeve, but it would explain why Cadsuane of all AS never more than passingly notices how strong Nynaeve is ... she's pretty much unimpressed.


This we know, because Nynaeve is about 50% stronger than Egwene and about 3 times as strong as Moiraine. Cadsuane falls somewhere between Moiraine and Egwene.

The female strength list could well go something like this.

Moiraine 30
Cadsuane 40
Egwene 50
Nynaeve 75
Alivia 90
Lanfear 100

Obviously, there is some room for error there, but it would not be substantial.

Queue a Darius diatribe regarding Egwene being 80% as strong as Lanfear or some such absurdity (smiley face).

Could Norla be the other woman stronger than Nynaeve? - 22/01/2011 06:54:36 PM 2141 Views
It's a nice idea, really - 22/01/2011 07:04:03 PM 1196 Views
we don't know the strength difference between Cadsuane and Nynaeve - 22/01/2011 08:55:48 PM 1127 Views

Still sticking to the nonsense I see... - 25/01/2011 12:14:12 AM 1031 Views
you and your assumptions crack me up ... there is zero evidence that Nyn is 2x Cadsuane - 26/01/2011 04:41:33 PM 1054 Views

I think it's a matter of perspective too - 27/01/2011 05:12:29 PM 913 Views
Nynaeve temporarily holds Logain shielded on her own, while 5 average strength Aes Sedai cannot... - 27/01/2011 05:35:26 PM 843 Views
Another inconsistency ... since 4 women held a shield on Rand who is Stronger than Logain EDIT - 27/01/2011 07:47:31 PM 953 Views
Not an inconsistency and if you analyse it... - 27/01/2011 08:21:39 PM 1166 Views

Thanks - 28/01/2011 04:05:47 PM 1019 Views
Not really the case though - 28/01/2011 04:54:28 PM 808 Views
That's your evidence? You mean like Caddy defers to Nynaeve? - 28/01/2011 02:29:46 PM 926 Views
So Elayne is Cadsunae in you stupid play? - 28/01/2011 02:44:07 PM 877 Views

it's obviously a stretch, just a random thought - 22/01/2011 08:26:49 PM 1136 Views
Possibly? But unlikely. - 23/01/2011 11:12:01 PM 913 Views
The 6 are... - 24/01/2011 10:09:33 PM 1235 Views
I disagree. If anything Semirhage is at the same strength level - 24/01/2011 11:10:30 PM 1001 Views
Agree and disagree... - 25/01/2011 10:44:26 AM 963 Views
Re: Agree and disagree... - 25/01/2011 11:04:11 PM 889 Views
I didn't say Semirhage is definitely one of the 6, but his answer leaves it as a viable possibility. - 26/01/2011 07:36:52 AM 1008 Views
Not really - 26/01/2011 05:15:59 PM 886 Views
Lanfear and Cyndane are the same person *NM* - 25/01/2011 10:24:15 AM 456 Views

I agree. - 24/01/2011 03:56:00 PM 905 Views
Possible... - 25/01/2011 12:17:42 AM 879 Views
none whatsoever ... purely speculating here *NM* - 26/01/2011 04:44:15 PM 389 Views
Not necessarily - 25/01/2011 08:07:02 PM 829 Views

we'll always disagree I suppose - 27/01/2011 04:47:42 PM 979 Views
Strongest since the breaking? I disagree - 19/08/2011 01:09:37 PM 1148 Views
I doubt it. - 26/01/2011 03:53:33 AM 955 Views
