I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM
Just because it seems somewhat thematic to have them be able to check him if necessary.


Seems significant that there is a Trinity of specific strength women directly associated to Rands life.


Min is the other woman, not Egwene. There can't just suddenly be a trinity involving Egwene to control Rand.

I think those three women were made equal to remove any sense of deferring between them. Not that they necessarily would, but when Nynaeve's around you kind of forget about Elayne. Considering Elayne, Egwene and Aviendha did a few things together, RJ made them equal in one way so that we'd forget about it.


Just that Rand has these 3 women (who have all be love interests) around him and they are all identical in Power. Just seems to fall into that category of "trinity" to me. I doubt anything will ever come of it other than the fact that it's another set of 3 around him. Didn't Linda do a whole numerology post back on wotmania??

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 2308 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1378 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1464 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1519 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1567 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1456 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1319 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 1296 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 1181 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 1233 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1388 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 1292 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 1282 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 1264 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 1265 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 1301 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 1196 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 1312 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 1199 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 1271 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 1245 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 1199 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 1263 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 1262 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 1275 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 1189 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 2173 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1361 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 1241 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 1234 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 1193 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1379 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1384 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 1191 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 1211 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 1245 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 1252 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1406 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1404 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 1238 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1358 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1370 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 1295 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 1356 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1296 Views

So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM 698 Views

Hehehe! Classic. Maybe his hands were full of her...err..Globes of Fire... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:47:35 PM 1196 Views
I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1300 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 1095 Views

I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1357 Views

Huh. I forgot about that. LordPerrin - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1382 Views
go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 1210 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 1230 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 1148 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 1031 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1400 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 1228 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 1253 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 1220 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 1218 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 1268 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1352 Views
Another related quote Skeeve the Great - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 1182 Views
