have you read TGS? *SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T* darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/05/2010 04:19:21 PM
Just a hypothetical question, but if it turned out Gawyn can channel, would Egwene let him bond her or would she insist on being the one holding the bond?


Egwene will Gawyn bond as soon as possible now after they are re-united (there was also a Prophecy/Dream which showed that). Maybe it even already happened off-screen before in TGS. At least I don't see why Egwene wouldn't take him as her Warder as soon as possible. Since there wasn't any indication yet that Gawyn can channel, this question is kind of moot, IMO.


She has not bonded him through the end of TGS. Unless Egwene made a snap decision to do so between being raised Amyrlin and the Epilogue. Seems like the kind of thing that would happen "on screen" though since it was a viewing/dream.

It is possible (even likely) that Gawyn is a Channler. His mother and his Sister both are and on his fathers side at least Moiraine was born with the ability. Given that he's got the genetics on both sides of the family it's certainly plausible that he is a channeler. Also I don't think he's too old to manifest the spark as men typically do so in their 20's and he's of an age with Rand... even Galad isn't too old to Spark, and has strong genetic connections as well.

I've wondered if one or both of these men would end up Channeling, given how often we've seen siblings/family members who are all Channelers. Vandene and Adeleas, the Tairen Lord (I forget his name) who's Manor house Rand stayed at had a brother who Cadsuane captured. Talaan spoke of her sister as well as her mother, cousin and Aunt, I think even a pair of Damane were mentioned as sisters along the line ... seems like both of Gawyn and Galad should be Channelers!

It takes one minute to bond someone as Warder - 11/05/2010 04:39:35 PM 762 Views

Agreed, Gawyn gets on my nerves as well! *NM* - 12/05/2010 02:23:21 PM 656 Views
One of Egwene's finer moments, IMO. - 11/05/2010 09:35:49 PM 834 Views
Honestly, I chalk this up to an incomplete outline left by RJ - 13/05/2010 04:00:50 PM 630 Views
Siuan vowed to obey Egwene as I recall. - 13/05/2010 04:26:32 PM 753 Views
I don't get why she is so displeased with Gawyn but Bryne got off free. - 11/05/2010 10:13:39 PM 691 Views
That's one I don't get either - 11/05/2010 10:17:38 PM 747 Views

Yes, that's true. - 12/05/2010 01:13:12 AM 682 Views
He's supposed to be in tune with her feelings. She shouldn't have to tell him stuff. *NM* - 12/05/2010 01:40:07 AM 297 Views
How and why? They haven't even seen one another in around a year. *NM* - 12/05/2010 03:32:53 AM 277 Views
Oh, I wasn't being serious. - 12/05/2010 04:23:51 PM 637 Views
Oh, sorry. Sometimes things don't get across so well in writing . *NM* - 12/05/2010 06:20:50 PM 266 Views
She didn't tell him. But he did know... - 12/05/2010 03:54:24 AM 684 Views
Frankly, I wouldn't have trusted those Aes Sedai anyway. - 12/05/2010 04:18:18 AM 683 Views

Love... - 12/05/2010 03:26:58 AM 686 Views
Since Egwene is Amyrlin - 11/05/2010 08:12:54 PM 659 Views
They could bond each other. *NM* - 12/05/2010 01:40:33 AM 273 Views
If he can channel - 12/05/2010 03:45:46 AM 659 Views
haven't considered gawyn, but he or galad could learn. - 12/05/2010 05:18:26 PM 633 Views
Maybe insanity caused by the taint would explain how stupid Gawyn is. - 13/05/2010 04:04:53 PM 584 Views
