I thought they were just a transitional thing guttering flame Send a noteboard - 03/12/2010 07:13:17 AM
This was mentioned in the early books, along with Sniffers and the like. They're signs of the new age coming, they don't belong in the Third Age, nor in the Age of Legends, I think. So yes, the number of new Wolfsiblings wouldn't be too surprising.


Just like the amazing amounts of talents in Channeling that cropped up along the series. Every talent is needed to defeat the DO. But after the Last Battle is through they'll disappear again in favor of technology.

Wasn't dreaming and wolfbrothering the central talent of the age before the age of legend, aka the 1st age?

Egwene and the WIse Ones don't know the most basic thing about Teleranriod guttering flame - 02/12/2010 10:43:16 PM 2032 Views
IIRC Nicola was killed by a Black Ajah Sister and Egwene had tried to save her. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2010 10:52:01 PM 1233 Views
Yes, I meant allowing her near the battle in the first place guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:28:45 AM 833 Views
And who would enforce those rules? j-whitt987 - 03/12/2010 12:42:33 PM 962 Views
Also, I'm not sure how you could expect the Wise Ones to know that. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/12/2010 02:51:43 PM 842 Views
How do you figure? Fanatic-Templar - 02/12/2010 10:55:15 PM 1036 Views
Re: How do you figure? malekithe - 02/12/2010 11:06:29 PM 1122 Views
may, being the operative word. LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:12:49 PM 950 Views
except for the part of the soul that stays in the sleeping body, like they've explained many times. *NM* nigelgoboom - 02/12/2010 11:16:43 PM 444 Views
mmm fair point. maybe if you were there "too strongly"? LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:18:50 PM 946 Views
right. but i dont think 'too strongly' ever means completely. maybe in the flesh or something *NM* nigelgoboom - 03/12/2010 01:24:38 AM 474 Views
This doesn't make a lot of sense guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:37:02 AM 888 Views
They also told Perrin that about... j-whitt987 - 03/12/2010 12:55:57 AM 1034 Views
yes, that is another confounding factor LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 09:14:35 AM 892 Views
Oh, I see. Fanatic-Templar - 02/12/2010 11:45:37 PM 1000 Views

He isn't a wolfbrother Timthetrolloc - 03/12/2010 05:43:06 AM 971 Views
Maybe he hadn't discovered it yet. Fanatic-Templar - 03/12/2010 06:21:22 AM 869 Views
He'd be a shadowbrother-brother guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:51:59 AM 806 Views
You raise an interesting possibility guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:44:18 AM 1062 Views
Wolfbrothers are going to be part of the next age. Fanatic-Templar - 03/12/2010 07:05:30 AM 823 Views

I doubt it, that Age is ours. Fanatic-Templar - 03/12/2010 09:33:03 PM 818 Views
Uhm, TOTALLY. LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 10:00:01 PM 785 Views
GASP! *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 06:59:09 AM 518 Views
I know RJ said something guttering flame - 04/12/2010 06:15:51 AM 800 Views

Re: So... Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 10:12:45 AM 867 Views
Of course... DomA - 05/12/2010 08:21:05 PM 967 Views
If the first age is the Technological / Scientific Age guttering flame - 06/12/2010 06:33:18 AM 927 Views
I don't see why they would have to be unique themes. LadyLorraine - 06/12/2010 07:04:08 AM 870 Views
I don't even know why they're supposed to be mutually exclusive. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/12/2010 07:37:35 AM 444 Views
Re: I don't see why they would have to be unique themes. guttering flame - 06/12/2010 08:14:15 AM 853 Views
uhm, duh, stonehedge. LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 07:11:44 PM 819 Views
No, because Heroes and Wolves are both different from run of the mill humans LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 09:19:05 AM 933 Views
That's far from "the most basic" thing and it is entirely excusable that they do not know it. LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:17:46 PM 1007 Views
Re: That's far from "the most basic" thing and it is entirely excusable that they do not know it. DomA - 03/12/2010 02:42:39 AM 954 Views
It could be extrapolated from the fact that it's souls that inhabit it guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:54:40 AM 875 Views
You're caving to bias from being outside the story with more information than any single character. LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 09:13:12 AM 886 Views
Don't forget the Heroes guttering flame - 03/12/2010 09:34:43 AM 770 Views
I think that she meant that comment as more for the "hero" version Apsalar Shadowdancer - 03/12/2010 10:57:38 AM 838 Views
Maybe this should be a question for Sanderson? guttering flame - 03/12/2010 11:43:54 AM 845 Views
that's only because you're stubbornly holding to yours, despite everyone indicating its errors *NM* LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 05:29:15 PM 512 Views
Obviously my tenacity indicates that I have a worthy point guttering flame - 03/12/2010 07:06:18 PM 663 Views
Perrin doesn't count since his information is from Hopper LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 09:58:01 PM 864 Views
So it's my evidence against your non-evidence? guttering flame - 04/12/2010 06:05:41 AM 923 Views
why are you assuming that all souls are the same? LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 07:18:10 PM 1128 Views
1. You're wrong. 2. Even if you're right, how would they know? beetnemesis - 03/12/2010 05:28:33 AM 1079 Views
Maybe, but I bet they can spell it. Joel - 03/12/2010 05:43:28 AM 921 Views
Incidentally, wouldn't that mean it is safer to go to Tel'aran'rhiod in the flesh? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 03/12/2010 09:35:21 PM 434 Views
I'm more inclined to believe that being killed in the flesh in TAR darius_sedai - 04/12/2010 07:35:15 PM 783 Views
Where does that reasoning begin? Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 07:53:42 PM 1354 Views
Perhaps it's more of a matter that the "usual route" may be altered? LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 10:20:51 PM 756 Views
But human souls don't go to Tel'aran'rhiod, from what we know. Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 11:19:53 PM 777 Views
maybe it does? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 12:18:05 AM 1107 Views
So do we have any reason to believe this is the case? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 05/12/2010 02:48:48 AM 425 Views
I don't think so. It's not really something that's discussed LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 03:19:37 AM 642 Views
I'm pondering too darius_sedai - 05/12/2010 03:04:10 PM 937 Views
Not @ all - if humans regularly go to TAR after they die, we'd have seen it already. Heroes would newyorkersedai - 04/12/2010 01:28:45 AM 961 Views
that would have been decidedly clever. *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 07:18:52 PM 390 Views
