Re: How old was Lanfear? DomA Send a noteboard - 14/10/2012 11:27:12 PM
LTT was more than 400 as was Graendal and Demandred (Born 1 day after LTT). Likely Ishamael was in the same generation, but I can't recall if Lanfear was the same age as LTT or if she was just younger.

There was a quote somewhere about the, dating in their youth, but does that mean LTT and Lanfear were the same age? Personally I don't think it's beyond the bounds for Lanfear to have been even 100 years younger than LTT ... Indications of this?

She was more interested in his fame than in him, if they had both been very young it seems like this wouldn't be as obvious. But if he was already established while she was a student it makes sense.

She had not earned a 3rd name. Given her profession, skill and ambition this may simply be a matter of her being a bit young ... Follow that with the accident with the Bore and her touch of crazy.

Thoughts?


You probably should have tracked down the quote for this, it would have helped. IIRC, it implied LTT and Mierin met while studying to be AS, thus they would be roughly the same age.

Not my problem if you are that lazy. All the quotes you want are nicely organized darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 02:50:45 AM 1026 Views

The thing is Elaida had no experience in the arena at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:25:10 AM 992 Views
IT IS NOT THE TOWER'S DAMNED JOB! She had more than enough credentials for ANDOR Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:45:15 AM 1007 Views
Nope. Every other advisor we've seen has been sent from TV darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:50:07 AM 987 Views
Those are not official advisers, those are ambassadors! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:17:51 AM 1046 Views
So now you are saying that Elaida was a personal advisor not an envoy of the Tower? darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:22:31 AM 962 Views

Again. I refer you to Linda's blog. The relevant quotes are there ... Enjoy darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 02:52:03 AM 988 Views
The burden of proof is on you to make your points. There is nothing in the books. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:01:46 AM 1024 Views
You mean the only way she could avoid become Queen was to flee? darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:30:26 AM 997 Views
And never ever face discipline or punishment for fleeing? Outside the Tower, she was on her own. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:40:23 AM 981 Views
I'm not using her theory, I'm saying she posted all the damn quotes in one place darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:57:00 AM 986 Views
You don't see how evading the Tower's authority for 10 years undermines YOUR position? Cannoli - 15/10/2012 05:21:29 AM 908 Views
Nope. It substantiates that the Tower will exert itself to ensure its Political standing darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 05:41:33 AM 965 Views
Oh for the love of...! Here's the relevant quote: fionwe1987 - 15/10/2012 04:04:48 AM 1078 Views
