Though clever, this explanation isn't very satisfying. Narg Send a noteboard - 29/10/2021 12:00:17 AM

Its just too obvious a way to allow someone to betray the black ajah. There have to be other ways to achieve the effect of both oaths without also allowing such a dumb way for someone to betray the secrets of the black ajah. I don't know if RJ came up with that language or if he never decided how Verin would be able to betray the black ajah and Sanderson had to come up with that himself. Either way, it feels like bad writing to me.

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

The video of Rafe Judkins commenting on the trailer is also worth watching. Legolas - 27/10/2021 09:19:11 PM 319 Views
Yeah he definitely seems very knowledgeable about the series fionwe1987 - 27/10/2021 09:40:43 PM 243 Views
Yes. Most of the changes he talks about are good for the medium transition AgentApple - 28/10/2021 10:17:23 AM 231 Views
I liked him way back on Survivor. I guess it's good he didn't win AgentApple - 28/10/2021 10:18:44 AM 220 Views
The truncated Third Oath is just sloppy whatever the justification. damookster - 28/10/2021 06:56:54 PM 327 Views
Trailers truncate. That's nothing new. *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 07:15:24 PM 108 Views

Well... aerocontrols - 28/10/2021 09:31:19 PM 286 Views
Umm isn't the reason for the wording obvious? fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 10:01:39 PM 236 Views

I don't think so aerocontrols - 29/10/2021 01:26:46 AM 226 Views
