Another idea/fanfic plot I can think of is "the rouge channeler". Dunstan Send a noteboard - 23/10/2016 05:07:42 PM

As much just an observation as anything, but one of the changes, or soon to be changes as it hasn't quite happened yet, Fourth Agers need to... "Learn to deal with" isn't quite right, as there is little they can actually "do" about it, so I guess "acknowledge exist" is just the level of freedom Traveling gives a channeler.

In my mind, the existence of Traveling is one of the main reasons WoT NEEDS the Dragon's Peace. To give them time to adapt to the fact that now just about everyone can get just about anywhere whenever the hell they want, and the only real control the governments have over it is... A single Dreamspike... WoT needs to do everything they can to make as many of those things as they can ASAP. If they even can.

But the thing is... The issue actually goes a whole lot deeper then that. In that while channelers in WoT don't yet know how to do it, we know that Gateways are capable of going to parallel and alternate worlds... Once they figure that out, then literally every single Traveling capable channeler is all of Gateway to a channeler-less world away from being able to set themselves up as a demigod, and... There really isn't a hell of a lot that anyone in WoT can actually do to stop them.

What stops a channeler from being able to pull a Forsaken and just up and takeover, is other channelers of similar training being there to counter such, but... For all the world said rouge channeler would of just up and vanished one day. No idea where they went. No way to track them.

And as a side issue... Raising the first batch or two of Dragon Blooded is going to be hellish...

Just think of it, five your olds perfectly capable of just up and popping over to the ogier's home dimension for no other reason then uncle Loial made an off hand comment that there weren't that many ogier... And it's not like they can just up and keep the kids shielded until they're twenty, no matter how much they might want to. lol

At least later on they can leave the babysitting to the elder siblings.

Wards, wards and more wards - 24/10/2016 04:38:46 AM 579 Views
Don't recall there being such a thing as Traveling detection wards. - 24/10/2016 07:03:19 AM 534 Views
Well there was the "doorbell" thing - 24/10/2016 04:23:19 PM 510 Views
Maybe the Dragon Blooded could work something out, but even the Forsaken didn't know of such a ward. - 24/10/2016 05:15:13 PM 593 Views
we don't know that - 24/10/2016 05:53:34 PM 550 Views
Resetting wards aren't anything new... And yet Sammael used non-resetting ones. - 24/10/2016 06:44:32 PM 566 Views
