KoD, Ch. 15

Placing the antler-hilted dagger in the chest, she picked up the turtle, and then, impulsively, snatched up the twisted stone dream ring, all red and blue and brown. It seemed to be useless to her since she became pregnant, and if she could manage to weave Spirit, she still had the silver ring, worked in braided spirals, that had been recovered from Ispan.

Hurrying back to the sitting room, she found Dorindha and Nadere arguing, or at least having an animated discussion, while Essande pretended to be checking for dust, running her fingers under the edge of the table. From the angle of her head, she was listening avidly, though. Naris, putting Elayne’s dishes back on the tray, was gaping at the Aiel women openly.

“I told her she would feel the strap if we delayed the departure,” Nadere was saying with some heat as Elayne entered the room. “It is hardly fair if she is not the cause, but I said what I said.”

“You will do as you must,” Dorindha replied calmly, but with a tightness to her eyes that suggested these were not the first words they had exchanged. “Perhaps we will not delay anything. And perhaps Aviendha will pay the price gladly to say farewell to her sister.”

Elayne did not bother with trying to argue for Aviendha. It would have done no good. Aviendha herself displayed an equanimity that would have credited an Aes Sedai, as if whether she was to be beaten for another’s fault were of no matter at all.

“These are for you,” Elayne said, pressing the ring and the brooch into her sister’s hand. “Not as gifts, I’m afraid. The White Tower will want them back. But to use as you need.”


The twisted ring in red, blue and brown is the original, the copies are only red and blue (as shown in LoC, Ch.7).

The blame for the confusion is on Sanderson and Team Jordan, they made a mistake in TGS's first edition. There was a mention that the original twisted ring was stolen by Sheriam. But this was corrected in the e-book (and probably paperback, not sure about that). Here are the relevant passages:

TGS Hardcover, Ch. 45

Egwene clenched her teeth, thinking of Sheriam's final spilled confessions. The theft of the ter'angreal had been far from the most shocking tidbit she'd mentioned. Elayne would be livid; the original ring had been among those stolen, and Egwene doubted that Siuan's hidden copy would be useful as a template. It was already flawed; copies of it would likely be more imperfect."

TGS E-book, Ch. 45

Egwene clenched her teeth, thinking of Sheriam’s final spilled confessions. The theft of the ter’angreal had been far from the most shocking tidbit she’d mentioned. Elayne would be livid; she had made all of the copies that were stolen. While none of her copies worked as well as the original, they worked well enough. She would not be happy that they were in the hands of a Forsaken.

How did the BA manage to use the OP so strongly in T'A'R during the fight in the Tower? - 29/05/2011 05:40:09 PM 2979 Views
Probably a major error, but there can be an explanation... - 29/05/2011 09:05:10 PM 1242 Views

Egwene, being evil, subconsciously was allowing them to do so with her TAR powers. *NM* - 03/06/2011 01:37:23 AM 526 Views

Maybe Mesana told them they would be able to channel strongly. - 09/06/2011 01:47:53 PM 1036 Views
