Ok a big argument about his possible killer is the speed to kill a channeler thing...

I have a problem here. Many seem to think that a channeler is like a freakin god. It's just not that way. Think how many asha'man dropped to aiel spears coming out of the gateways. These dude were ready for combat. Asmodean was not, he was opening a door to get some damn wine. on top of that he hesitated because of the shock of knowing his killer. So really any person knowing how to use a knife could have done it. disagree? perhaps because of the issue with needing to be killed ultra fast, words still in the air when death took him and all that? well a knife across the throat can do that, even a two rivers bumkin could have been the killer.

My point with this post? If theories are going to be properly sifted through we should at least use the proper criteria.

PS it cant be balefire. if the words were still in the air when death took him it could NOT be balefire. The weave would have erased the words before they ever happened even the smallest amount possible. :p


i like your thoughts.

Firstly, i cannot stress how strongly i agree that theories should follow the criteria. Why ignore it? I think we can get much further by first addressing the criteria and THEN asking who can do that.

In addition, i think we've generally overlooked the importance of what RJ provided/omitted in the scene.

"How" AND "Where"- two factors that TOGETHER cause absolute death. If the "How" in an idea can cause absolute death wihtout depending on the "where" it occurs (and vice versa), then that idea is WRONG.


THoughts:

What place is special such that dying a certain way (and not just any way) causes absolute death?

What place has special nature where you can kill lik this?
Thinking broadly -- list the places with special attributes, list the attributes and then see if anything fits:

skimming--fall off and fall forever

TaR--in flesh, death final. can manipulate things. can enter in the flesh. can move extremely fast. can predict future. can find by need. what else?

Dreaming void--drawing blank

Shadar Logoth

Shayol Ghul/blight

Ways

Finnlands

portal stones

stedding

I have to go now but perhaps someone cares to take it from here? no worries of not interested.

I think Fain would be more likely. - 23/03/2010 01:48:06 PM 386 Views
Fain was always just a crackpot candidate, but RJ has ruled him out as a suspect anyway. - 23/03/2010 02:24:55 PM 418 Views
