One thing about that... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 27/09/2012 02:58:56 AM
We know there are 6 women stronger. We know Semirhage and Talaan are essentially equal to Nynaeve which means the following women are who we know to be Stronger:

Lanfear, Cyndane, Alivia, Sharina ... The only wildcard that has any merit to add to this list is Sommeryn which means either Graendal is Stronger or some unnamed character or one who was glossed over (Sera the damane) is ahead of Nynaeve and plays no role in the series at all? Seems unlikely that RJ would have bothered. And that is assuming the list counts Lanfear and Cyndane independently ... It's possible that both Sera and Graendal are Stronger than Nynaeve and there is only one entry for Lanfear on that list.

If we downgrade Graendal to Nynaeve's equal or below her we have multiple openings on that list of 6 ... Which I find hard to believe.


Those six could, conceivably, be stronger than Nynaeve's current strength at some point in the series, and not her final potential.

So we could get a list like:

Lanfear, Alivia
Sharina, Cyndane
Nynaeve, Semirhage(?), Graendal(?)
Graendal(?), Semirhage(?) Someryn, Talaan
Mesaana, Tamela(?), Viendre(?)
Moghedien

You left out that Taim and Demandred have met before. Narg - 19/09/2012 06:19:01 PM 1330 Views
Part of me keeps screaming Logain, though that can't be right... Cannoli - 20/09/2012 12:14:00 PM 1285 Views
I thought of Logain as well... Narg - 20/09/2012 06:10:58 PM 1159 Views
We have our answer as to why Cyndane and Moiraine are reduced in power. Nargs - 20/09/2012 05:14:01 AM 1244 Views
It was spelled out before. Terez - 20/09/2012 05:25:05 AM 1105 Views

I'm disappointed after waiting a week for a new post in the Forsaken thread, it's about Talmanes! Shannow - 02/10/2012 09:46:48 PM 1062 Views
Two interesting Forsaken issues you haven't raised DomA - 22/09/2012 06:21:34 PM 1291 Views

I think we saw them during the attack on Maradon. The Portal Stone attack seems less likely darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 11:41:42 PM 941 Views
Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 1655 Views
If I had to take a guess right now I'd say he has been setting up various Shadow armies thought the darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:30:34 PM 980 Views
I think at the very least he has recreated the One-and-Eighty male channelers from the AOL... Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:34:56 PM 1079 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1218 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 883 Views
It took Taim nearly a year to train a dozen men to a place where they could teach darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:00:40 PM 852 Views
The world is 25,000 miles by 25,000 miles in size... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:15:22 PM 961 Views
That is just far fetched ... I think I would laugh out loud if that is the case darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:43:37 PM 952 Views
Direct quote from Demandred refutes this... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:49:10 PM 928 Views

Well.. fionwe1987 - 25/09/2012 11:15:21 PM 859 Views
Thanks for the quote, but reading that, it kind of implies the opposite, to me... Shannow - 25/09/2012 11:35:53 PM 1168 Views
Hmmm.... fionwe1987 - 26/09/2012 12:00:33 AM 914 Views
