The simplest explanation'd be that GWs can't be opened in water, since it moves/changes constantly Lordling Send a noteboard - 20/11/2009 07:27:08 PM
Making it impossible for you to get to know the place, because it never stays the same. Though a strong wind obviously doesn't hinder the gateway making process, so probably currents also wouldn't matter. But that was my first impression why what you suggest hasn't been done.

I've actually thought that would be a great way to make a power plant. Narg - 20/11/2009 02:48:21 PM 1019 Views

The Forsaken don't think like that Sidious - 20/11/2009 02:57:27 PM 1057 Views
I specifically referred to Ishamael, who shares none of those motivations with the other Forsaken... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:11:26 PM 1275 Views
What in the world... outer space?? This is fantasy, not sci-fi *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 03:08:26 PM 520 Views
RJ has stated that channelers can Travel to other planets, even other solar systems... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:12:37 PM 976 Views
I didn't expect him to answer that question, it was just something I was wondering about Ryan - 20/11/2009 04:06:53 PM 1012 Views

The DO doesn't have the motivations of the forsaken, he doesn't think like a human... Napoleon62 - 22/11/2009 03:38:15 PM 997 Views
They would have to know the bottom of the ocean very well to create. *NM* LlordNakcor - 20/11/2009 05:02:50 PM 439 Views
Wouldn't be too hard, given Rand's trick. *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 05:12:22 PM 563 Views

Gateway "magic" accounts for this, or most gateways would have STRONG breeze Asha'man Warder - 20/11/2009 06:43:44 PM 1005 Views
Very conducive places, the bottom of the sea and outer space... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2009 07:01:56 PM 4377 Views
Knee jerk disagreement without thinking beyond: "I don't like the idea so let's flame it..." Shannow - 20/11/2009 07:12:38 PM 1158 Views
Actually... Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 09:15:39 PM 975 Views
And your response is even sillier ideas? Think for more than three minutes before responding again. fionwe1987 - 20/11/2009 11:08:59 PM 915 Views
I must say... this has been highly entertaining! *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:59:51 AM 917 Views

Great question. These fundamental issues are the REAL challenges to be overcome, yes... Shannow - 21/11/2009 07:50:46 AM 960 Views
Thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:03:28 AM 986 Views
Fluids CAN move across gateways on their own. We saw it with the draft of wind in tGS. *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:32:46 PM 511 Views
Oh, and regarding the new Travelling skill Nynaeve mentions in tGS... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:03:45 AM 991 Views
Ah, thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:10:48 AM 908 Views
Actually, I just reread that passage, and now I'm confused again... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:30:17 AM 929 Views
Its pretty simple... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:07:14 PM 879 Views

No, you're wrong, and here are the quotes... Shannow - 22/11/2009 06:51:06 AM 1104 Views
That might mean nothing... fionwe1987 - 22/11/2009 06:37:33 PM 997 Views
That does seem inconsistent... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:25:52 PM 1196 Views
They might have shared Gateways, so only those who wove them know the area? *NM* Marshall - 21/11/2009 10:00:04 PM 449 Views
That has to be the first sensible question broached in this thread... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:18:59 PM 1152 Views
Since Shannow seems to think disagreeing with him is EVIL... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:38:55 PM 942 Views

Moridin cannot channel any more of the True Power than he can of the One Power. Shannow - 21/11/2009 01:58:30 PM 850 Views
He managed to do great fits with the power he had. guttering flame - 21/11/2009 05:12:52 PM 845 Views
