Re: That wasn't the Choedan Kal, that was Shadar Logoth. Datakim Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 01:29:29 AM
The sa'angreal was a necessary tool to achieve this, but it was not the critical component.


Umm? What?

How could Rand have cleansed Saidin without the CK? Even with the combined power of both CK statues it took hours upon hours for Rand to finish.

How long would it have taken had he tried to do it without the CK, pulling saidin with only his own natural strength. Months? Years? Decades? And that is assuming it would even have worked. We have no idea what would have happened had Rand stopped to rest in between. For all we know SL would have exploded instantly, despite the fact that only a tiny amount of taint would have been channeled into it.

I would say that without CK, the cleansing could not have happened.

I don't think that Semirhage was sacrificed Etzel - 25/07/2010 08:36:47 AM 908 Views

It's an interesting theory in either direction darius_sedai - 25/07/2010 04:54:31 PM 761 Views

I don't know if Semirhage was sacrificed or not. Either way the Semirhage quote set up tGS 6 books RabidWombat - 26/07/2010 02:29:59 AM 713 Views

I'd say that there was a pre-meditated plan or backup plan to sacrifice Semirhage Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 09:02:44 AM 695 Views

But if this was the plan... Etzel - 26/07/2010 12:30:37 PM 623 Views
Moridin and SH knew that the CK could never defeat the dark one so they were happy to leave it Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 05:56:56 PM 706 Views

I fail to see the relevance. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 27/07/2010 02:06:27 AM 278 Views
the relevance is that it was impossible without the CK Sidious - 27/07/2010 05:25:45 AM 555 Views

??? The CK in the hands of a madman is exactly what the Dark One needs to destroy the pattern Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 07:01:13 AM 630 Views
So why not give it to Moridin then? Sidious - 27/07/2010 10:54:47 AM 629 Views
If their plan of taking Rand to Shayol Ghul suceeded then the CK was no longer needed Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 03:39:58 PM 622 Views
Could be simple. How do you find an object that "lies hidden"? Mik - 27/07/2010 04:17:35 PM 602 Views
It could be, but I would still think they would have noticed the CK sitting next to the male a'dam Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 04:34:45 PM 594 Views
Not if Moridin sensed it, instead of seeing it. Mik - 27/07/2010 08:12:25 PM 601 Views

You confuse foreshadowing and predictability DomA - 27/07/2010 02:57:15 AM 916 Views
I agree with DomA *NM* *NM* RabidWombat - 27/07/2010 03:44:51 AM 275 Views
That last line had me laughing! (right on the money too, by the way) *NM* Mik - 27/07/2010 02:58:20 PM 258 Views
I don't believe in foreshadowing that you can figure out from the actual plot. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/07/2010 08:42:11 PM 603 Views
