Thanks! Etzel Send a noteboard - 18/11/2009 05:50:35 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!


Brandon said that he stated that Cyndane was "very weakened", and he stressed the "ened" part. Another indirect confirmation that Cyndane is Lanfear, but also stressing that she is not weak in the Power, but just much less than she was. Which leads me to believe that Alivia was definitely stronger than Cyndane at the Cleansing, but most likely not stronger than Lanfear had been.


Alivia had a quite powerful angreal at the Cleansing, therefore she was even stronger than Lanfear was.

Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM 973 Views
Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 870 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3030 Views

If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 747 Views
I don't think... - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 591 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1108 Views
Difficult... - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 784 Views

It almost has to be Justice - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 664 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 464 Views
But here's the thing.... - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 684 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 823 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 751 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 369 Views
Someryn *NM* - 17/11/2009 11:38:42 PM 375 Views
One of the women stronger than Nynaeve is probably a Sharan - 17/11/2009 11:53:12 PM 639 Views
don't read too much into this - 18/11/2009 12:00:19 AM 600 Views
It could be true - 18/11/2009 02:14:50 AM 651 Views
Cyndane's body - 18/11/2009 06:22:45 AM 598 Views
