Strongest since the breaking? I disagree Rurouni_Kenshin Send a noteboard - 19/08/2011 01:09:37 PM

Anyway, I think Nynaeve is the strongest woman to have lived on the mainland since the Breaking, including wilders. Obviously other women like Sharina have been discovered since then, but she's pretty much hinted as the highest strength ever seen since the AOL.


Cadsuane said 1000 years ago there were 50 sisters as strong or stronger than Moraine in the Tower. I think the further back you go the stronger the Aes Sedai were. I'd always imagined that Eldrene of Manetheren and Aemon were Nynaeve and Lan's previous incarnation. Whether or not that flight of fancy is true or not, her suicide certainly sounds like a Forsaken level channeler overloading a sa'angreal.
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.

Could Norla be the other woman stronger than Nynaeve? darius_sedai - 22/01/2011 06:54:36 PM 2325 Views
It's a nice idea, really newyorkersedai - 22/01/2011 07:04:03 PM 1375 Views
we don't know the strength difference between Cadsuane and Nynaeve darius_sedai - 22/01/2011 08:55:48 PM 1316 Views
Nynaeve is of course roughly twice as strong as Cadsuane... Shannow - 24/01/2011 10:26:49 PM 1423 Views
Still sticking to the nonsense I see... fionwe1987 - 25/01/2011 12:14:12 AM 1205 Views
you and your assumptions crack me up ... there is zero evidence that Nyn is 2x Cadsuane darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:41:33 PM 1251 Views
Waits for the candle flame vs. bonfire quote to appear... fionwe1987 - 26/01/2011 05:01:28 PM 1281 Views
*blows out the friggin candle* ... why does anyone take EoTW Moiraine quotes seriously? darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 09:41:53 PM 1224 Views
tGH, but I agree... fionwe1987 - 27/01/2011 04:58:08 AM 1367 Views
Re: tGH, but I agree... Sidious - 27/01/2011 07:29:15 AM 1138 Views
I think it's a matter of perspective too darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 05:12:29 PM 1084 Views
Nynaeve temporarily holds Logain shielded on her own, while 5 average strength Aes Sedai cannot... Shannow - 27/01/2011 05:35:26 PM 1052 Views
Another inconsistency ... since 4 women held a shield on Rand who is Stronger than Logain EDIT darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 07:47:31 PM 1140 Views
Not an inconsistency and if you analyse it... Shannow - 27/01/2011 08:21:39 PM 1381 Views
I'm not dismissing the quote I'm saying 6 weak women held Logain darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 09:21:34 PM 1160 Views
Circular logic... Shannow - 27/01/2011 09:49:40 PM 1248 Views
Explain to me how Moghedien is only 60% of Lanfear and managed to do anything? darius_sedai - 28/01/2011 06:25:28 PM 1404 Views
Easy. And I dispute that all 6 women shielding Logain were only 10% stronger than an Accepted. Shannow - 29/01/2011 12:42:54 PM 1058 Views
Not even gonna bother ... So many flawed statements in here it's not worth the effort to correct you *NM* darius_sedai - 29/01/2011 04:50:01 PM 569 Views
Wait... what? fionwe1987 - 27/01/2011 11:16:32 PM 1077 Views
Re: Wait... what? Zeratul - 28/01/2011 12:26:22 AM 1021 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 28/01/2011 01:24:18 AM 1109 Views
Yeah, but... Zeratul - 28/01/2011 12:53:26 PM 1166 Views
Therer is a direct quote in New Spring darius_sedai - 28/01/2011 02:20:40 PM 1126 Views
Yup... *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/01/2011 02:42:15 PM 584 Views
Thanks Zeratul - 28/01/2011 04:05:47 PM 1191 Views
Not really the case though darius_sedai - 28/01/2011 04:54:28 PM 946 Views
That's your evidence? You mean like Caddy defers to Nynaeve? Shannow - 28/01/2011 02:29:46 PM 1119 Views
So Elayne is Cadsunae in you stupid play? fionwe1987 - 28/01/2011 02:44:07 PM 1058 Views
Getting hot under the collar and irrational again, I see... Shannow - 28/01/2011 03:01:14 PM 988 Views
right tGH but still! *NM* darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 04:02:57 PM 543 Views
It will be someone who was alive at some point during the series... Shannow - 22/01/2011 07:11:57 PM 1351 Views
it's obviously a stretch, just a random thought darius_sedai - 22/01/2011 08:26:49 PM 1315 Views
Strength in the Power and skill in the Power are not the same thing. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 10:33:12 PM 1137 Views
true, but nearly 300 years ago when she was a new AS she had yet to learn that lesson darius_sedai - 23/01/2011 04:49:33 PM 1099 Views
Possibly? But unlikely. redqueen - 23/01/2011 11:12:01 PM 1112 Views
The 6 are... Shannow - 24/01/2011 10:09:33 PM 1427 Views
I disagree. If anything Semirhage is at the same strength level darius_sedai - 24/01/2011 11:10:30 PM 1199 Views
Agree and disagree... Shannow - 25/01/2011 10:44:26 AM 1145 Views
Re: Agree and disagree... Sidious - 25/01/2011 11:04:11 PM 1071 Views
I didn't say Semirhage is definitely one of the 6, but his answer leaves it as a viable possibility. Shannow - 26/01/2011 07:36:52 AM 1186 Views
I'd disagree with that statement. I think he definitively ruled her out with his comment darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:40:14 PM 990 Views
Not really Sidious - 26/01/2011 05:15:59 PM 1052 Views
Lanfear and Cyndane are the same person *NM* Vidarfe - 25/01/2011 10:24:15 AM 532 Views
I think Shannows' point is that even with reduced strength, Lanfear is still the most powerful RugbyPlayingAshaman - 25/01/2011 05:30:34 PM 1120 Views
Re: The 6 are... Sidious - 25/01/2011 10:51:40 PM 1255 Views
This seems like the most likely case to me, but Sommeryn is unsubstantiated to date darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:43:27 PM 1034 Views
I think there's a stronger case for Someryn than most women Sidious - 26/01/2011 05:07:03 PM 1143 Views
I agree that she is the most likely candidate, but there is nothing beyond speculation darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 09:45:27 PM 1012 Views
Talaan isn't stronger. She is the same strength and has been actively channeling for 6 years darius_sedai - 24/01/2011 11:14:31 PM 1159 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 24/01/2011 03:56:00 PM 1058 Views
Possible... fionwe1987 - 25/01/2011 12:17:42 AM 1065 Views
none whatsoever ... purely speculating here *NM* darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:44:15 PM 474 Views
Not necessarily sleepinghour - 25/01/2011 08:07:02 PM 996 Views
But that doesn't answer why a toothless wilder in a backwoods hut would have drawn darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:49:33 PM 1071 Views
nah Sidious - 25/01/2011 10:55:10 PM 1303 Views
it's obvious that Norla made her "earn" the ornaments darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:47:32 PM 1256 Views
Re: it's obvious that Norla made her "earn" the ornaments Sidious - 26/01/2011 05:17:16 PM 1142 Views
I can see that as a possibility too darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 10:22:02 PM 1125 Views
Re: I can see that as a possibility too Sidious - 27/01/2011 07:38:31 AM 1221 Views
we'll always disagree I suppose darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 04:47:42 PM 1173 Views
Strongest since the breaking? I disagree Rurouni_Kenshin - 19/08/2011 01:09:37 PM 1413 Views
