Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! Etzel Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM
That's quite absurd and refuted by the text!
And who are then the six women stronger than Nynaeve, if Cyndane and Mesaana aren't stronger? Alivia, Graendal, Semirhage, some super damane from Tuon?

BTW, BS explicitly stated that he didn't mean that Asmo was balefired. He also said that there are other RAFO circumstances besides balefire, which prevent a transmigration. This fits with RJ's comment that the DO couldn't transmigrate Asmo because of how AND where he died (if Asmo was balefired the DO couldn't already transmigrate him for that sole reason!). IMO, a certain death in TAR is such a circumstance.

However, the theories that Sammael or Be'lal were transmigrated seem pretty much crushed. Since Osan'gar wasn't balefired, he might have been transmigrated, though, if the DO is such keen on bringing back his original Forsaken. Maybe hs is truly Moridin's messenger seen in the prologue of TGS.

And we know now that Rand's sword is indeed a RAFO.

Good report!

Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 852 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3011 Views

I asked Brandon to clarify last night in Pasadena about Cyndane - 18/11/2009 05:22:14 PM 709 Views
Thanks! - 18/11/2009 05:50:35 PM 645 Views

If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 731 Views
I don't think... - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 576 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1087 Views
Difficult... - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 771 Views

I think he mis-spoke just a bit - 17/11/2009 07:37:24 PM 582 Views
He wasn/t 100% sure of Semirhage... *NM* - 17/11/2009 07:44:11 PM 363 Views

It almost has to be Justice - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 652 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 456 Views
But here's the thing.... - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 666 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 807 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 736 Views
Who is the Aiel chick with all the one power strength? I forget who, but she is Shaido. *NM* - 17/11/2009 11:34:42 PM 363 Views
Someryn *NM* - 17/11/2009 11:38:42 PM 370 Views
One of the women stronger than Nynaeve is probably a Sharan - 17/11/2009 11:53:12 PM 626 Views
don't read too much into this - 18/11/2009 12:00:19 AM 584 Views
It could be true - 18/11/2009 02:14:50 AM 637 Views
Cyndane's body - 18/11/2009 06:22:45 AM 584 Views
