Amazon has started letting us peek into the Companion, and I've used the search function to get the strengths of quite a few women. Some real doozies in here including:

Rahvin was as strong as Rand or Ishamael. Semirhage was as strong as Lanfear, as was Alivia. Mesaana was level two, and one level above Graendal and Nynaeve. Equal to Mesaana are Cyndane, Talaan (potential) and Sharina.

Nynaeve's current strength is level 4, the same as Moghedien's. And then comes the craiest wildcard: Cadsuane is level 5, and stronger than Egwene.

For some reason, Aviendha's entry says her strength is level 11, though Terez says it is most likely her current strength, with her potential equalling Egwene's. Since I can only read snippets, I'm hoping this is what they mean.

Another surprise is that Edarra matches Therava, and both are at level 12, one above Siuan co. Kerene was level 11, Meilyn level 10, and Mabriam en Shereed, along with Metarra and Nicola, at 9.

Caraighan Maconar is at level 3, matching Nynaeve. I would speculate this was the highest level the Tower ever saw, before Sharina.

Liandrin is the same level as Leane was (14), just one below Elaida, which came as a surprise.

A surprising number of Sitters and influential Sisters are in the 17-24 range of levels, putting paid to the idea that only the strongest were influential.

Level 19 is the base level to be able to Travel. Level 21 is the base level to make a Gateway of any size, without a circle.

Here's a Google doc link where you can comment:

If you have any more strength values you can glean, PM me and I'll send the editable link.


I suspect we'll see some differences/changes to the levels when the full text is released. Some of this directly contradicts the books. Elayne/Egwene are known to be stronger than Cadsuane as stated in the books on a number of occasions. These look like they are from an old list and IIRC RJ flirted with the idea of having Cadsuane being stronger then what he eventually decided upon.

Guess we know who the AS who never reached her full potential is now though.

See, all this does is pretty much eliminate the value of these lists, as far as I'm concerned - 12/10/2015 04:37:36 AM 737 Views

This confirms that the Encyclopeadia is not worth the paper its written on... - 12/10/2015 12:06:30 PM 907 Views
I'd still buy it for the character stuff that I hope is in there. - 12/10/2015 02:59:17 PM 474 Views
