Slayer seems quite inhuman and he's been in TAR in the flesh a lot Rurouni_Kenshin Send a noteboard - 26/06/2010 04:29:24 AM
There were Aiel involved in the drilling of the bore. Their, seemingly, baseless insistance that only bad can come from entering T'A'R could be a hangover of forgotten knowledge that opening gateways to T'A'R was part of the process of drilling the bore.

Aiel dreamwalkers frequently refer to the act of entering fully into T'A'R as a thing of the shadow.


They refer to it as a thing of the Shadow because many of the Forsaken would drag people into TAR in the flesh during the War of Power and then (I assume) do bad things to them.

Imagine the ramifications of being nabbed by a Forsaken, dragged through a gateway to who-knows-where, and from there you can be taken anywhere in TAR with a thought. Anything can be done to you from OP weaves to walking nightmares, and there is NO ONE THERE to rescue you. We know how hard it is to find someone specific in TAR unless you have a pre-determined meeting place.

The Wise Ones said that each time you enter TAR in the flesh, you lose a little bit of your human self, but I think that part was derived over a long time from the belief that it was an evil thing to do.
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.

How can Rand repair the bore? More importantly, what forms the boundary of the Wheel itself? newyorkersedai - 25/06/2010 01:00:35 AM 1952 Views

Why can't the Pattern be the Prison? LoialT - 25/06/2010 05:52:31 AM 1276 Views
Here's a theory I had posted on wotmania bobsledai - 25/06/2010 06:16:07 AM 1268 Views

Nice catch! bobsledai - 25/06/2010 04:28:08 PM 1085 Views
The Aiel's insistance is not baseless. They know why they say it is evil. CatherineSedai - 25/06/2010 06:01:08 PM 1215 Views
You might be right, but the other idea is far more interesting. *NM* Deadsy - 25/06/2010 10:18:37 PM 533 Views

true, but he's also be transformed in some unknown way. Not sure he really counts as human darius_sedai - 26/06/2010 05:46:46 PM 1200 Views

If the Bore is like a Gateway... LoialT - 25/06/2010 06:19:44 PM 1202 Views
Pretty good thought about the conduit-comparison! Etzel - 26/06/2010 07:34:16 AM 1041 Views

The very name "Bore"... Etzel - 26/06/2010 07:25:22 AM 1095 Views
Actually I think he pretty much backed DomA's opinion Sidious - 26/06/2010 08:30:42 AM 1000 Views
Well, as said, I disagree. Etzel - 26/06/2010 08:43:40 AM 1068 Views
Well here's what I think Sidious - 26/06/2010 11:18:33 AM 1299 Views

No, the Bore was drilled through that specific thinness in the Pattern. Etzel - 26/06/2010 03:54:51 PM 1140 Views
Yeah.... DomA - 26/06/2010 04:54:50 PM 1114 Views
It's absurd. Your idea is clearly wrong, but ok... *NM* Etzel - 26/06/2010 05:00:43 PM 1012 Views
