I know RJ said something guttering flame Send a noteboard - 04/12/2010 06:15:51 AM
Do you see a lot of Wolfbrothers and Dreamers around?


about the 1st age being our age but it never made much sense. The portal stones are supposed to come from an age before the AoL. But we don't have any portal stone technology in our age. Similarly Wolf-brothers are supposed to come from an Age before the AoL but again we have no evidence of it (unless you believe in werewolves?)

The very opening sequence of the books

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.


calls the first age the Age of Myths which fits dreamers and beast people much better than technology.

Egwene and the WIse Ones don't know the most basic thing about Teleranriod guttering flame - 02/12/2010 10:43:16 PM 2062 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 1323 Views
Yes, I meant allowing her near the battle in the first place guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:28:45 AM 860 Views
And who would enforce those rules? j-whitt987 - 03/12/2010 12:42:33 PM 991 Views
Also, I'm not sure how you could expect the Wise Ones to know that. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/12/2010 02:51:43 PM 870 Views
How do you figure? Fanatic-Templar - 02/12/2010 10:55:15 PM 1064 Views
Re: How do you figure? malekithe - 02/12/2010 11:06:29 PM 1143 Views
may, being the operative word. LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:12:49 PM 983 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 459 Views
mmm fair point. maybe if you were there "too strongly"? LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:18:50 PM 973 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 486 Views
This doesn't make a lot of sense guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:37:02 AM 921 Views
They also told Perrin that about... j-whitt987 - 03/12/2010 12:55:57 AM 1063 Views
yes, that is another confounding factor LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 09:14:35 AM 921 Views
Oh, I see. Fanatic-Templar - 02/12/2010 11:45:37 PM 1031 Views

He isn't a wolfbrother Timthetrolloc - 03/12/2010 05:43:06 AM 1003 Views
Maybe he hadn't discovered it yet. Fanatic-Templar - 03/12/2010 06:21:22 AM 899 Views
He'd be a shadowbrother-brother guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:51:59 AM 832 Views
You raise an interesting possibility guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:44:18 AM 1093 Views
Wolfbrothers are going to be part of the next age. Fanatic-Templar - 03/12/2010 07:05:30 AM 855 Views
I thought they were just a transitional thing guttering flame - 03/12/2010 07:13:17 AM 943 Views
I doubt it, that Age is ours. Fanatic-Templar - 03/12/2010 09:33:03 PM 843 Views
Uhm, TOTALLY. LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 10:00:01 PM 815 Views
GASP! *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 06:59:09 AM 531 Views

So... guttering flame - 04/12/2010 07:24:07 AM 942 Views
Re: So... Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 10:12:45 AM 896 Views
Of course... DomA - 05/12/2010 08:21:05 PM 992 Views
If the first age is the Technological / Scientific Age guttering flame - 06/12/2010 06:33:18 AM 953 Views
I don't see why they would have to be unique themes. LadyLorraine - 06/12/2010 07:04:08 AM 896 Views
I don't even know why they're supposed to be mutually exclusive. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/12/2010 07:37:35 AM 455 Views
Re: I don't see why they would have to be unique themes. guttering flame - 06/12/2010 08:14:15 AM 879 Views
uhm, duh, stonehedge. LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 07:11:44 PM 848 Views
No, because Heroes and Wolves are both different from run of the mill humans LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 09:19:05 AM 964 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 1039 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 983 Views
It could be extrapolated from the fact that it's souls that inhabit it guttering flame - 03/12/2010 06:54:40 AM 902 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 915 Views
Don't forget the Heroes guttering flame - 03/12/2010 09:34:43 AM 796 Views
I think that she meant that comment as more for the "hero" version Apsalar Shadowdancer - 03/12/2010 10:57:38 AM 868 Views
Maybe this should be a question for Sanderson? guttering flame - 03/12/2010 11:43:54 AM 877 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 523 Views
Obviously my tenacity indicates that I have a worthy point guttering flame - 03/12/2010 07:06:18 PM 693 Views
Perrin doesn't count since his information is from Hopper LadyLorraine - 03/12/2010 09:58:01 PM 892 Views
So it's my evidence against your non-evidence? guttering flame - 04/12/2010 06:05:41 AM 953 Views
why are you assuming that all souls are the same? LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 07:18:10 PM 1155 Views
1. You're wrong. 2. Even if you're right, how would they know? beetnemesis - 03/12/2010 05:28:33 AM 1111 Views
Maybe, but I bet they can spell it. Joel - 03/12/2010 05:43:28 AM 957 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 446 Views
I'm more inclined to believe that being killed in the flesh in TAR darius_sedai - 04/12/2010 07:35:15 PM 818 Views
Where does that reasoning begin? Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 07:53:42 PM 1388 Views
Perhaps it's more of a matter that the "usual route" may be altered? LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 10:20:51 PM 780 Views
But human souls don't go to Tel'aran'rhiod, from what we know. Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2010 11:19:53 PM 805 Views
maybe it does? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 12:18:05 AM 1139 Views
So do we have any reason to believe this is the case? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 05/12/2010 02:48:48 AM 436 Views
I don't think so. It's not really something that's discussed LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 03:19:37 AM 674 Views
I'm pondering too darius_sedai - 05/12/2010 03:04:10 PM 965 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 990 Views
that would have been decidedly clever. *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 07:18:52 PM 401 Views
