Rant rant rant darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/02/2012 08:26:56 PM
For one thing it's mentioned many times throughout the series so it's well documented.


I'm not disputing the fact that Travelling is a lost talent.

My purposes in posting the question was twofold. First, I couldn't see how Travelling could become lost, and I wanted to see if anyone had a plausible explanation. Secondly, if an explanation couldn't be found, I wanted to rant about what I see as poor attention to detail.

After reading other people's arguments, I feel I have a better understanding of the subject. I now see it as somewhat likely that Travelling disappeared because it couldn't be passed on to students due to the hurried nature of training during the Breaking, and about equally likely that it just wasn't useful during the Breaking. However, I see both of those explanations as unsatisfactory. If you like, you can consider this thread my rant.

It is a little odd. Maybe because channelers weren't united for a while? beetnemesis - 03/02/2012 02:24:17 PM 1074 Views

Hey, why don't you reference ANY place in the series a character learns ANY weave from a book? Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:42:43 AM 1026 Views

Have you read the Big White Book? It details some of the events that happened during The Breaking RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2012 04:27:13 PM 916 Views
