If you don't think Moiraine was stilled/burned out, then why did Lan's bond break?
I don't buy the idea about the doorway melting. That simply doesn't make sense to me. It also makes a whole bunch of assumptions that we really don't know about. While we do know that the Warder bond is severed by stilling/burning out and death. We know Moiraine lives, so the simplest remaining explanation is that she was stilled/burned out.

The string analogy is the best one. An invisible string between Moiraine and Lan, that was severed when the connection between the two worlds was broken. I think the best proof for or against this theory would be to examine what happens when a Bonded person (Aes Sedai or Warder or their respective equivalents) goes to TAR. Does the bond still point them to the real life place their partner is at? To the TAR reflection? Or does the position locator aspect of the bond not work? If I remember correctly, it's said that they can't point to where their partner is. Obviously the pathway from real life to TAR is always open, TAR is after a reflection of the "real" world. So the Bond wouldn't break, but it does affect the mechanics of it.
There's also the possibility that Moiraine "manually" severed the bond or passed it on.

I'm betting she decides to stay a non-channeler and put her past behind her. *NM*

I think that the doorway melting did that.

The doorway melting and snapping the bond is simple enough for me *NM*

I think that since Moiraine was in another dimension, the Bond passed to the closest holder.

Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM*

that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond

BS not committing to the Cyndane = Lanfear scenario has me wondering as well

The only possibility is "something weird" if Cyndane ISN'T just "Lanfear"

Maybe they put some of Ilyena in Cyndane.

LOL ... Lanfear doesn't need Ilyena to be an LTT stalker!

Right, But Ilyena Doesn't Need Lanfear for That Either.

I'm 99.99% sure RJ said that the DO had to grab a soul quickly after death or it was lost

Agreed, the angreal theory seems most likely IMO (about Lanfear/Cyndane) *NM*

Moiraine will make a huge difference to TG (Min's viewing) so I think she will need to channel. *NM*
