They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM
Aviendha, Egwene and Elayne know each other far better than they know Min. Aviendha thinks as much in TGS - she likes Min, but doesn't really know her, and thinks that Min can be silly, at times.

What I think is important to note is that these three share more in common with Rand than Min ever could:
1) All are channelers
2) They all share some aspect of blood lineage or cultural history (Elayne and Aviendha actually resemble Rand, as has remarked on a few times during the series)
3) They all have strengths that rival Rands'
4) All three are leaders

Thus, if need be, these three seem like a trinity that would confront and oppose Rand if necessary, making it seem like the Pattern made sure there were women who would look out for the greater good of various populations yet still have an interpersonal connection among each other and the Dragon Reborn. IE: They are all potential Latra Posae Decume-like characters, with Elayne and Egwene actually opposing Rand publicly for the sake of their communities.

No three women could block him from the Source... - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 2309 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1379 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1464 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1519 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1567 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1456 Views

No, this is before. - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1321 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin - 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. - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 1182 Views
Simple answer to settle it: - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 1234 Views
So Talaan is God? - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1390 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 1292 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 1282 Views
So? - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 1265 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 1265 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 1303 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 1196 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 1271 Views
Lanfear can do it alone - 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... - 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. - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 1263 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 1263 Views
Bah! - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 1275 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 1190 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 2173 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1361 Views
BUT... - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 1241 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 1193 Views
No. There's a difference. - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1379 Views
Oh come on... - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1384 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 1191 Views
But that isn't true... - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 1211 Views
Let me spell it out for you... - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 1245 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 1252 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1406 Views
??? - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1404 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 1238 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1358 Views
Exactly! - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1370 Views
Touchy point, heh? - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 1295 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 1356 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1296 Views

Re: Okay... - 15/06/2010 10:39:01 PM 1219 Views
So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM 698 Views
What? - 15/06/2010 10:45:16 PM 1203 Views
If we use your interpretation of the statements. *NM* - 15/06/2010 10:49:21 PM 597 Views

I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1300 Views

Bad analogy... - 17/06/2010 04:23:31 AM 1146 Views
Uh... - 17/06/2010 09:08:01 AM 1173 Views
I disagree. - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1357 Views
That's wrong. Rand said 2 AS + Moghedien could threaten him - 16/06/2010 05:17:33 PM 1321 Views
Huh. I forgot about that. - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1382 Views
go back a few posts... - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 1210 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 1230 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 1148 Views
Agreed - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 1031 Views
I don't think there's any theme - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1400 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 1228 Views
They have a separate trinity. - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 1254 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 1220 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 1218 Views
No, that's not right either. - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 1268 Views
I disagree - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1352 Views
Another related quote - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 1183 Views
well, in the same book about 5 minutes after Lanfear almost kicks Rands ass - 18/06/2010 08:11:49 PM 1275 Views
