Huh? fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 03/06/2010 08:44:35 PM
The guy came up with an absurd "language", his world's history is seriously messed up, he's even screwed up on what Ajah people are from - do you really think he gave much thought to this?

Brandon Sanderson would have if he wrote the series from the beginning - he looks into peoples' motives a lot better than Jordan ever did. I still don't know why people do the stupid things they do half the time in Wheel of Time.

Care to elaborate?

It's a huge honor to be a sul'dam, and they test for that on the same day Deadsy - 02/06/2010 01:06:32 AM 1012 Views

Nobody knows about Sul'dam because it takes them extra long to learn. FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 07:58:41 AM 1179 Views

I think it's seen as something that happens to other people. Gher - 02/06/2010 02:20:09 AM 916 Views
I think they retest only the sul'dam randfandom - 02/06/2010 04:13:55 AM 1072 Views

I'd think that would be a tiny chance given how diligent the Seanchan are in this regard darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:58:15 PM 1026 Views
Remember, Seancean have no idea channeling can be "learned" beetnemesis - 02/06/2010 07:04:11 AM 977 Views
This is how Damane and Sul'Dam are determined, straight from tGH FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 08:14:03 AM 1545 Views
That doesn't make sense. Are you sure they don't put the BRACELET on the girls, not the collar? beetnemesis - 04/06/2010 01:35:08 AM 848 Views

Toun, though too young can be collared Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:29:29 AM 784 Views
I don't think Tuon will ever Channel darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:39:16 AM 935 Views

I just see all of that as potential plot lines for the planned follow-up Mat/Tuon in Seanchan novels darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:09:26 AM 981 Views

As with most things in Jordan's universe, I don't think it was thought through very seriously. Tom - 03/06/2010 08:05:04 PM 820 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 03/06/2010 08:44:35 PM 917 Views

Bah... fionwe1987 - 03/06/2010 09:51:09 PM 875 Views
Jordan definitely made mistakes with the Ajahs. In particular, the Black Ajah ones who fled. Tom - 03/06/2010 10:56:39 PM 862 Views

I don't know if that's totally true darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 12:09:29 PM 821 Views
Maybe you don't read that much serious literature? I just don't see why you are arguing this. Tom - 04/06/2010 03:47:50 PM 801 Views
I actually don't read much fiction at all to be honest darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 04:00:03 PM 829 Views
You're right about the fact that I have mostly contempt for Jordan. Tom - 04/06/2010 05:42:49 PM 816 Views
meh. I prefer non-fiction most of the time darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:44:38 AM 849 Views
I have read lots of fiction Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:57:07 AM 890 Views

LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:49:48 AM 866 Views
I think the number of characters directly contributes to the situation. Tom - 04/06/2010 03:51:42 PM 756 Views

We've seen so little of the old tongue how can you tell? Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:33:46 AM 736 Views
Brandon brings out supporting chars. better, it's true. FanEditor10 - 04/06/2010 03:17:52 AM 855 Views
You're absolutely right. Sanderson gets "inside" the characters a bit more. *NM* Tom - 04/06/2010 03:52:29 PM 339 Views
