You only addressed half the argument. That being said, I think the stone is more symbolic than anything else, anyway.


Err what? You mean the idea that DO can only control a limited amount of things at once? That would not prevent the DO from influencing the WT, then the BT then Caemlyn and so on, depending on where his influence would do the most harm. Having SG-stone in all major cities would allow the DO to choose which place to influence, and change the location of that influence at will. Right now for example, the White Tower would be a far better place for the DO to focus his attention on than the Black Tower.

You are probably right about it being just symbolic though. It seems unlikely that Sanderson would have told us if its going to play a role in the coming book.

So apparently the palace at the Black Tower is made of Shayol Ghul stone... - 23/05/2012 12:57:37 AM 2184 Views
I saw that too, but how is that even possible?? - 23/05/2012 03:02:57 AM 1176 Views
Not the palace... - 23/05/2012 03:32:59 AM 1192 Views
That is good logic, but the flip side is: Why would RJ bother to specify that if it were minutiae? - 23/05/2012 11:22:24 AM 1026 Views

My initial thoughts on it had to do with the properties of SG. - 23/05/2012 10:58:21 PM 870 Views
