you forgot about those that took refuge in the steddings Jim Send a noteboard - 26/09/2011 02:30:41 AM
“Some in Tar Valon,” Moiraine said quietly, “claim that Ogier sanctuary prolonged the Breaking and made it worse. Others say that if all of those men had been allowed to go mad at once, there would have been nothing left of the world. I am of the Blue Ajah, Loial; unlike the Red Ajah, we hold to the second view. Sanctuary helped to save what could be saved. Continue, please.”

Regardless of whether or not Ogier sanctuary made the Breaking better or worse it certainly made it longer. So apparently Jordan thought that several of them were able to hold out for a century or two.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I don't think strength affects the onset - the Hundred Companions went nuts right away by proximity *NM* Cannoli - 26/09/2011 01:54:52 PM 175 Views
Agreed - might even be the opposite Sidious - 26/09/2011 06:04:50 PM 443 Views
Also, we're told that it effects everyone differently. Some men aren't affected for years. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/09/2011 10:29:25 PM 424 Views
And how strong was the guy who flipped out on his first day in the Black Tower? *NM* Cannoli - 27/09/2011 02:42:26 AM 179 Views
But the Companions were probably the hundred strongest male channelers of the day *NM* Vidarfe - 26/09/2011 09:19:58 PM 192 Views
I don't think so. The Companions were young and only 113 out of a few hundred thousand Aes Sedai men RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/09/2011 10:14:22 PM 472 Views
I think all the Companions were high Forsaken strength Sidious - 27/09/2011 03:52:18 PM 413 Views

IIRC they were more of a faction or activist group than a top-tier classification or elite unit Cannoli - 27/09/2011 02:41:20 AM 431 Views

Channelers are very powerful & can do large-scale damage that lasts a long time RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/09/2011 04:06:00 PM 596 Views
