Perhaps, but Bair is in her 80s and can't channel at all darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 15/10/2012 03:09:35 AM
So having a weak Channeler live 3x that long and appear of a similar age doesn't seem out of the ordinary. The Kin are another example of this. Reanne is 412 and looks just into her middle years, the much weaker Sorilea is at MOST 300 and looks ancient. Alivia is over 400 and looks younger than Sorilea too ... From the descriptions she looks about 40 ... Where the weaker Reanne looks maybe 50 and the even weaker Sorilea looks 90. Not a difficult hypothesis to follow. The stronger you are the longer you live.

Morgase is what 48-50 at most and looks maybe 10 years younger than she is? Meanwhile we have Kinswomen like Garinia/Zarya who looks no older than Nynaeve and is in her 70-80s.

Not in the mood to deal with you ... Go read the Ages section of 13th Depository darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 09:53:14 PM 1029 Views
Not interested in Linda's private theories. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:29:41 AM 1168 Views
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 1025 Views

The thing is Elaida had no experience in the arena at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:25:10 AM 991 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 1006 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 1045 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 961 Views
Finally! I was beginning to despair of your literacy! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:34:18 AM 1056 Views
now I am questioning your literacy *NM* darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:40:45 AM 673 Views
She didn't "land it". She took the job for herself... DomA - 15/10/2012 04:00:35 AM 986 Views
Actually every advisor we've seen except Elaida has been appointed darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:11:39 AM 1002 Views

And an answer to the rest of your "points" Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:48:07 AM 1189 Views
Again. I refer you to Linda's blog. The relevant quotes are there ... Enjoy darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 02:52:03 AM 987 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 1023 Views
You mean the only way she could avoid become Queen was to flee? darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:30:26 AM 996 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 980 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 985 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 964 Views
Oh for the love of...! Here's the relevant quote: fionwe1987 - 15/10/2012 04:04:48 AM 1077 Views
Okay, but that's still irrelevant to the Oath Rod & its cutoff period or method, as well as lifespan Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:54:26 AM 992 Views

Illogic, arguments from (false) authority and now ad hominem attacks. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:46:49 AM 961 Views
I just don't see the point of an argument with someone who has already been proven wrong darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:59:19 AM 996 Views
The frequently-confessing-ignorance, can't-keep-track-of-what-he-wrote ghostwriter, you mean. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 05:28:50 AM 1077 Views
