Re: "Mesanna did have oathes, just not the 3 AS ones". No she didn't Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 20/07/2010 07:26:20 PM
No Forsaken took any Oath on the Rod. In fact, any regular Darkfriend never took any Oath. Except Black Ajah of course.

Black Ajah had access to the Rod and they NEED to look ageless, so, thus, the Black Ajah Oaths.


Never claimed that they took oaths on the OR, in fact I agree 100% that they did not considering their attitude towards the AS of this age who voluntarily do. However Messy and all of the forsaken do take oaths to the dark. In fact the difference betwen the Forsaken and the rest of the DFs is that they perform their oaths at SG directly to the DO. We just don"t know how "binding" those oaths are.


But this is irrelevant to the conversation! We are talking about effects the Rod has on the channelers. Not some other type of oaths and some other means to swear them. We are specifically talking about the Oath the Aes Sedai are taking using the Rod.

Since Mesaana never took the Oath on the Rod, we don't know the effect it would have on her to unswear them. My theory is that it has Oath-negative effect and as soon as channeler take the Oath, its nullified by the Oath-negative effect.

The big problem with my theory so far is that in Age of Legends any criminal channeler could've unswore before was administered the punishment and thus escaping it alltogether.

But maybe Dominic is right (in some of his post he mentioned it) and you have to swear-unswear on the same Rod in order to have the effect. We actually don't know what happens to the Aes Sedai that want to unswear the Oaths on the different Rod. We saw that Galina was forced to take different Oaths on different Rod, but it's not the same.

How did Mesaana beat the Oath Rod? CatherineSedai - 17/07/2010 10:26:42 AM 3806 Views
That isn't tricking the oath rod, the way I'm understanding his answer. That's tricking humans *NM* Deadsy - 17/07/2010 10:29:52 AM 452 Views
I agree with Deadsy... Etzel - 17/07/2010 11:32:09 AM 1054 Views

Another AS does the channeling according to NS darius_sedai - 17/07/2010 10:02:32 PM 1005 Views

As mentioned above, your theory is not about defeating Oath Rod. Skeeve the Great - 17/07/2010 06:42:38 PM 982 Views

Perhaps she pressed, and held the on/off switch, so that the Oaths never triggered? *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 19/07/2010 09:50:13 PM 426 Views
Everything you said but this... CatherineSedai - 20/07/2010 01:25:34 AM 899 Views
Or she didn't swear on it, because she's a servant. The Angry Druid - 18/07/2010 11:05:08 PM 936 Views
but BS would not have told us to think about defeating the oath rod then.... mazza3 - 19/07/2010 04:10:56 PM 785 Views
I don't really see why this is such a big issue: The Angry Druid - 22/07/2010 03:34:46 AM 1072 Views

I doubt Mesaana stands high enough to have TP access right now. She's probably the lowest FS. *NM* Lord Haart - 20/07/2010 07:55:31 PM 423 Views

Yeah I realize what I presented was kinda the opposite of what I was going for. CatherineSedai - 20/07/2010 02:15:46 AM 854 Views
I just thought of the most obvious way around it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 20/07/2010 06:17:34 PM 922 Views
I actually like this idea. Skeeve the Great - 20/07/2010 07:40:56 PM 827 Views

I bet it wouldn't work LoialT - 20/07/2010 08:52:00 PM 1281 Views
this is also possible darius_sedai - 20/07/2010 09:17:36 PM 865 Views
