wouldn't surprise me Ava Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 08:26:49 AM
I've never thought about it before, but the oath rod was designed to stop criminals, and it would make sense in a way that they would also want to stop the criminals from procreating. Building something into the oath rod seems like a good and subtle way to do it.

OTOH, Myrelle and other green AS apparently get into all sorts of sexy shenanigans with their warders, so maybe they have the same appetites as everyone else but just have some sort of secret WOT birth control.

BUT this didnt stop Aes Sedai in the AoL malekithe - 01/10/2010 02:58:22 PM 688 Views
Almost none of those reasons applied in the AoL, so what's your point? Cannoli - 01/10/2010 03:20:59 PM 453 Views
Point is malekithe - 01/10/2010 03:33:41 PM 401 Views
the real reason is that having a bunch of AS babies running around would be a plot inconvenience *NM* Ava - 02/10/2010 06:15:01 PM 177 Views
The answer is very simple. The WT discourages AS from having families as it distracts for being AS darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 01:08:30 AM 441 Views
OTOH, maybe they're all just post-menopausal *NM* Ava - 03/10/2010 06:53:34 AM 211 Views
I hope they all had good hormones... Try and imagine 1000 women going through the "change" at once darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 04:12:57 PM 390 Views

Probably not. But then they are much older. We know the Slowing happens starting in most women's darius_sedai - 12/10/2010 01:43:50 AM 397 Views
