Maybe over time redqueen Send a noteboard - 02/12/2010 07:24:08 PM
since EVERY woman with the spark is collared and never has children. Whereas in the Westlands only a portion of the sparkers are caught, and only a portion of those wind up in the Tower or the Kin where they are expected to remain celibate.

The Tower dwindling had little to do with genetics, and much to do with the fact that the Tower doesn't (didn't) bother to recruit.


But Seanchan damane also probably live the longest of any channelers, barring death in battle. They're valuable, treated carefully, and kept away from risk. Even though they don't reproduce, simply by continuing to exist within the population for six hundred odd years at a time, with new ones being collared all the time, they'll keep the numbers up. But I imagine that if the Seanchan were given another few thousand years to collar sparkers, the population of channelers would indeed drop dramatically.

not that I disagree with you, but it is possible to breed out a recessive gene. LadyLorraine - 01/12/2010 08:38:02 PM 938 Views

Thank god for that redqueen - 01/12/2010 09:35:22 PM 980 Views
Channeling could also be used in repair/reclamation projects. That stuff tends to even out. Cannoli - 02/12/2010 08:21:28 PM 1023 Views
Partly correct. GameMaster - 02/12/2010 04:40:13 PM 1064 Views
Why do we have stronger channelers now? GameMaster - 02/12/2010 04:50:18 PM 912 Views
you'd think the Seanchan would have even lower numbers of channellers Ava - 02/12/2010 05:13:36 PM 958 Views
