I think Lanfears' estimation is incorrect. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 13/07/2010 04:15:44 PM
I don't think she knows whether it is possible or not, and was basing her boast on how rare it was to find any woman coming close to her strength let alone exceeding it. I actually think that there were a few stronger women during the Age of Legends, but she personally destroyed them, which is why she is so certain and gloating about it.

And from what RJ said in his Q&A about the Isle of the Madmen, female channelers never formed a White Tower-like organization, but they did take up the task to hunt male channelers, but life expectancy must still be very short given that I doubt advanced techniques such as Shielding or Gentling are known, and we might be looking at huge battles of the One Power every time a male channeler is revealed.

The main point is that we don't know the extent of the "barbarity" that they live in. Are there societies there that have order similar to the Greek city states or do they resemble a lifestyle similar to China in the Warring States period? There are degrees of "barbarity", and it's not enough to just say they are all beyond order just because they never consolidated control in a manner similar to the Westlands.

Fain and Slayer - 07/07/2010 08:47:48 PM 543 Views
Fain playing a significant role in the LB would too much allude to LotR, IMO. *NM* - 07/07/2010 11:28:29 PM 525 Views
As would Moiraine returning. - 08/07/2010 02:13:25 AM 599 Views
It depends on Fain's role... - 08/07/2010 08:34:27 AM 455 Views
But what does "wildcard" really mean? - 08/07/2010 03:19:16 PM 463 Views
for a long time i thought shara and their tattooed channeles. - 09/07/2010 05:24:16 PM 469 Views
Fain doesn't make sense from a timing stand point - 07/07/2010 04:46:00 PM 518 Views
Indeed... - 08/07/2010 08:42:45 AM 480 Views
agreed - 09/07/2010 05:56:23 PM 441 Views
One reason the Murandy-New SL theory makes sense... - 07/07/2010 07:19:56 PM 472 Views
That's most likely just coincidence. *NM* - 07/07/2010 11:30:00 PM 227 Views
Riiiight... because WoT is chock full of coincidences. - 08/07/2010 02:12:47 AM 449 Views
In any case... - 08/07/2010 08:31:19 AM 498 Views
Re: That's most likely just coincidence. - 08/07/2010 02:13:36 AM 476 Views
They followed Fain all the way to Caemlyn and shot arrows at Rand - 08/07/2010 04:21:14 AM 450 Views
Yeah, I agree, Roedran isn't under Fain's control. *NM* - 08/07/2010 08:38:15 AM 317 Views
Re: It all began.... - 08/07/2010 12:11:02 PM 451 Views
Murandy just doesn't fit Demandred. Also, Sammael could have been wrong. - 07/07/2010 07:57:19 PM 705 Views
Here's another possibility - 08/07/2010 02:21:25 AM 543 Views
Another possibility for Demandred - 08/07/2010 03:20:27 AM 458 Views
What if Demandred's base is... - 08/07/2010 04:52:40 AM 496 Views
my problem with this - 08/07/2010 04:59:35 AM 476 Views
Well, I tend to agree with you - 09/07/2010 12:27:04 AM 431 Views
I doubt that you could that easily control the Madmen. *NM* - 08/07/2010 08:44:42 AM 205 Views
Unlikely... maybe even impossible - 08/07/2010 10:14:24 AM 474 Views
Definitely possible. - 08/07/2010 02:06:57 PM 464 Views
Now here's a man with... vision! - 09/07/2010 12:24:13 AM 444 Views
not really - 10/07/2010 12:25:31 PM 453 Views
That's factually incorrect - 12/07/2010 12:41:48 AM 479 Views
yes, factually incorrect by you - 12/07/2010 08:02:23 AM 502 Views
