Dude... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 12/12/2010 06:29:43 PM
You keep harping on about the forkroot. I just have one question... why the hell didn't Egwene, Katerine or Silviana ever once mention that? They had every reason to. Egwene would certainly have thought it, especially when she talks about Silviana being far from weak.

As for the night she met Verin... it was barely a few hours, not the whole night! She got released when it was night, met Verin, read her book, slept a little, then fought the whole battle with the Seanchan, all before it was daytime!
