Given how often Prophecies are right in that world... Gher Send a noteboard - 01/07/2010 02:33:21 AM
It makes a bit of sense. There are all kinds of mystical magical things going on around them. I can see a prophecy originating that says once the Giant Hand melts the entire hill, the world is going to really go downhill. Add that to how feared the Choeden Kal were, and general corruption over time, plus an all-but-proven belief in reincarnation, and the mass suicide I suppose makes sense.



It's fanatical, but given how the WoT world works, it makes sense. Stupid? Yes. Stupidest thing ever? No.

Can't agree with all of those. Fanatic-Templar - 30/06/2010 10:58:25 PM 1243 Views
Yeah, I disagree too... Gher - 01/07/2010 02:28:13 AM 1253 Views

I'm not sure. Gher - 01/07/2010 03:45:44 AM 1155 Views
Difficult to say. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 05:09:46 AM 1107 Views
Curse you, I had to go look up Nynaeve's Testing. Gher - 01/07/2010 06:20:06 PM 1183 Views
Nope, still can't agree. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:40:25 PM 1069 Views
I'm not going to argue that it's a good test Gher - 01/07/2010 08:51:31 PM 1003 Views

Yes, I suppose they could. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:16:38 PM 1147 Views
Human beings have a pretty large capacity for "stupid" behavior RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/06/2010 09:47:27 PM 1091 Views

and those crazy comet people in San Diego in the late 90's too! darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 03:49:59 PM 1073 Views
Perhaps. krassos - 30/06/2010 10:23:42 PM 1057 Views
IMO that makes them even worse! darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 10:33:03 PM 1000 Views
Considering that their system of belief... krassos - 30/06/2010 11:55:12 PM 970 Views
But they could have played a part Singing, just like the Tinkers to which they're related may do *NM* Lordling - 01/07/2010 09:08:46 AM 538 Views
Because their feeble ability to sing to crops would really come in handy. krassos - 01/07/2010 05:43:03 PM 1149 Views
There are other SOngs than seed-singing. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:26:54 PM 1070 Views
Even if there are. They've been lost. And humanity has lost that Talent. krassos - 01/07/2010 10:28:30 PM 924 Views
Only second-hand. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 10:49:58 PM 1197 Views
the Tinkers will at least make themselves useful as we saw in the BoEF darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 03:49:08 PM 1004 Views
The Tinkers are also on the mainland... krassos - 01/07/2010 05:36:40 PM 926 Views
to be fair, if I were an Amayar I would try to respawn as well *NM* BlackAdder - 01/07/2010 04:29:02 AM 1015 Views

You know... Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:42:41 PM 1024 Views
But something of you still contiunes on. krassos - 01/07/2010 10:30:12 PM 960 Views

Well, yes, but that's only temporary . Fanatic-Templar - 02/07/2010 12:27:07 AM 1118 Views
From my perspective, that is meaningless. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 10:52:22 PM 922 Views
