The Forsaken are still doing the Light's will. Great Lord of Chaos Send a noteboard - 21/11/2009 01:42:16 AM
Well, not really the Light's, but the Pattern's. The Forsaken are still threads in the pattern, and they are still subject to the Will of the Pattern. Some people might argue that if they are, why aren't they just drawn to the Dragon, so he could defeat them? Because the Dragon must learn. The only things outside of the pattern that can influence it that we've learned about are the Dark One and the Creator. And the Creator will not interfere. The point is, the Forsaken don't do it because the Pattern does not will it. And that is the long and the short of it. :P

If the Forsaken really wanted to defeat the Light - gateways at the bottom of the ocean... Shannow - 20/11/2009 02:02:59 PM 1844 Views
I've actually thought that would be a great way to make a power plant. Narg - 20/11/2009 02:48:21 PM 854 Views
I t doesn't defy EXACTLY the laws of conservation guttering flame - 20/11/2009 03:02:16 PM 1146 Views
The Forsaken don't think like that Sidious - 20/11/2009 02:57:27 PM 873 Views
I specifically referred to Ishamael, who shares none of those motivations with the other Forsaken... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:11:26 PM 1096 Views
What in the world... outer space?? This is fantasy, not sci-fi *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 03:08:26 PM 431 Views
RJ has stated that channelers can Travel to other planets, even other solar systems... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:12:37 PM 758 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 810 Views
OK... BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 05:15:32 PM 717 Views

No. Only if the knott is deliberately tied loosely... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:20:18 PM 694 Views
This brings up an "Evil Wins, What Next?" scenario I've always wondered about Sandwich - 20/11/2009 03:39:14 PM 836 Views
Nah Ryan - 20/11/2009 04:12:27 PM 705 Views
Read Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. =) *NM* Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 07:18:01 PM 412 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 831 Views
They would have to know the bottom of the ocean very well to create. *NM* LlordNakcor - 20/11/2009 05:02:50 PM 354 Views
Wouldn't be too hard, given Rand's trick. *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 05:12:22 PM 400 Views
Intense preasure would kill you before you could weave or a hell of a shield bubble *NM* LlordNakcor - 20/11/2009 07:01:58 PM 488 Views
You're kidding right? LewsTherin10 - 20/11/2009 05:31:36 PM 722 Views
Yeah, this has actually been discussed Marshall - 20/11/2009 05:50:21 PM 926 Views

Gateway "magic" accounts for this, or most gateways would have STRONG breeze Asha'man Warder - 20/11/2009 06:43:44 PM 811 Views
Very conducive places, the bottom of the sea and outer space... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2009 07:01:56 PM 4182 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 945 Views
Actually... Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 09:15:39 PM 787 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 715 Views
I must say... this has been highly entertaining! *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:59:51 AM 702 Views
Yeah... I've been chuckling at this whole thread Sidious - 21/11/2009 10:23:51 AM 838 Views
You need to go read FoH again... Shannow - 21/11/2009 03:35:01 AM 833 Views
The Silliness Continues-Part IV of Shannow's crazy ways to commit suicide... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 05:44:34 AM 727 Views

Great question. These fundamental issues are the REAL challenges to be overcome, yes... Shannow - 21/11/2009 07:50:46 AM 741 Views
Thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:03:28 AM 768 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 421 Views
Oh, and regarding the new Travelling skill Nynaeve mentions in tGS... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:03:45 AM 780 Views
Ah, thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:10:48 AM 713 Views
Actually, I just reread that passage, and now I'm confused again... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:30:17 AM 736 Views
Its pretty simple... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:07:14 PM 689 Views
You don't learn a place when you Travel TO it... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:23:11 PM 717 Views
The same issue again... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:58:37 PM 701 Views
No, you're wrong, and here are the quotes... Shannow - 22/11/2009 06:51:06 AM 908 Views
That might mean nothing... fionwe1987 - 22/11/2009 06:37:33 PM 812 Views
That does seem inconsistent... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:25:52 PM 951 Views
They might have shared Gateways, so only those who wove them know the area? *NM* Marshall - 21/11/2009 10:00:04 PM 363 Views
That has to be the first sensible question broached in this thread... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:18:59 PM 887 Views
Since Shannow seems to think disagreeing with him is EVIL... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:38:55 PM 754 Views

The One Power is completely impenetrable to regular matter Marshall - 21/11/2009 08:16:58 AM 672 Views
The simplest explanation'd be that GWs can't be opened in water, since it moves/changes constantly Lordling - 20/11/2009 07:27:08 PM 658 Views
Balefire is much, much easier . TheCrownless - 20/11/2009 08:50:24 PM 716 Views

The Forsaken DON'T want to defeat the Light. Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 09:18:42 PM 827 Views
Why didn't Frodo and Sam just ride the Eagles to Mt. Doom, and toss the Ring then fly back? *NM* Wotmaniac Reborn - 20/11/2009 10:35:17 PM 396 Views

Actually here's an even simpler idea: open a gateway into a Black Hole. *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:53:38 AM 476 Views
You can't...there aren't any Black Holes close enough... Shannow - 21/11/2009 03:22:38 AM 741 Views

Surely Moridin could channel enough of the True Power... *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:19:05 PM 324 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 675 Views
He managed to do great fits with the power he had. guttering flame - 21/11/2009 05:12:52 PM 656 Views
