Re: I thought Moiraine saw Moridin or somebody in there looking for Lanfear? Sidious Send a noteboard - 23/02/2012 02:14:05 PM
Yeah, Moiraine's really tough when she has a good shot at your back, and Lanfear is an unhinged lunatic coasting on the power of the Dark One. For people who can manipulate reality, they ARE easy meat. Rand was protected by the treaties.

They were probably unconscious, which is the point.

Why would Lanfear not be similarly comatose?

I'm sure she was, that's the point.

Than who was the guy who came in, looked at Moiraine and pretty much said "No, not her. Who else do you have?" I don't have the books handy, but I thought Moiraine told Mat & Thom about someone who was shown her, but was actually seeking someone else.

Yes I forgot about that, but it is possible that she was dead and they told Moridin that. Alternatively he purchased her somehow, but I'm not sure how killing her later would benefit him.


Why? If she got drained all the way, how would she come back weaker? Either she would be the same as she was before falling in, or she would be totally gone. Why would she be reincarnated or put in a new body at partial strength? The most likely explanation is that Moridin came and ransomed her back before all that much of her strength was drained, or at least killed her so she could be put in a new body.

I think its a balance between draining the person and killing them. If they drain you too quickly you probably die, much like having your life force drained. If they do it slowly you become physically weak but you do not die. My other point is that the strength reduction may be permanent if they draining is linked to the soul, which I think it might be. In that case, Moiraine will always come back weaker. I should have explained that in the original post but skipped several steps.

do souls remain the same strength with each reincarnation though? LadyLorraine - 23/02/2012 05:45:40 PM 988 Views
We can only theorize Sidious - 24/02/2012 08:14:49 AM 1064 Views
The Forsaken aren't a great parameter to judge from LadyLorraine - 24/02/2012 04:10:35 PM 934 Views
Without the Forsaken its a pointless subject Sidious - 24/02/2012 04:23:57 PM 1059 Views
not all things need to be explained. LadyLorraine - 27/02/2012 04:07:21 AM 815 Views
Sanderson doesn't think this is the case darius_sedai - 26/02/2012 12:47:26 AM 1006 Views
I don't think Lanfear died in Finnland DomA - 27/02/2012 02:02:31 AM 1794 Views
I assume this was meant to be a response to Sidious' original post *NM* darius_sedai - 27/02/2012 02:18:09 AM 433 Views
All this could be true and could still have died at Finnland... fionwe1987 - 27/02/2012 04:40:50 AM 854 Views

Why so? fionwe1987 - 28/02/2012 06:33:25 AM 856 Views
I pretty much agree Sidious - 28/02/2012 07:15:26 AM 1103 Views
WHen and where Lanfears original body died doesn't mean much to me darius_sedai - 28/02/2012 02:01:00 PM 811 Views

Perhaps ... But doesn't explain what they get out of killing her ... They have proven to be crafty darius_sedai - 28/02/2012 07:17:21 PM 843 Views
Well... Sidious - 28/02/2012 08:13:03 PM 910 Views
then why even negotiate with Moridin? LoialT - 28/02/2012 09:24:38 PM 938 Views
Wouldn't they have just kept her then or killed her right off the bat then? darius_sedai - 28/02/2012 09:52:49 PM 797 Views

Limits of resurrection... fionwe1987 - 29/02/2012 12:32:43 AM 1122 Views
Pretty sure it was Slayer Nargs - 23/02/2012 04:10:29 PM 1080 Views
He's still a minion, and would have been acting on the Shadow's behalf Cannoli - 23/02/2012 04:56:21 PM 926 Views
I corrected you. Not Moridin. It was Slayer. Nargs - 24/02/2012 08:07:17 AM 1044 Views
And you know this, how? fionwe1987 - 24/02/2012 08:43:38 AM 952 Views
Really? Its absolutely obvious that it was slayer. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:16:43 PM 1297 Views
I think it is clear enough... entyti - 23/02/2012 08:42:24 PM 1054 Views
Or maybe he was not there to negotiate for her release, just get close to kill her for the soul-swap *NM* Cannoli - 23/02/2012 10:15:01 PM 496 Views
Or maybe that was the best deal he could make with them. *NM* fionwe1987 - 24/02/2012 12:17:06 AM 434 Views
always figured it was slayer who told the finns she wasn't the one he was lookin for *NM* nigelgoboom - 25/02/2012 10:15:55 PM 454 Views
Maybe they can only drain a fixed amount - and did so to both women equally... Shannow - 24/02/2012 08:32:56 PM 1060 Views
Ahh, Shannow... fionwe1987 - 25/02/2012 03:51:10 AM 984 Views
I laughed too *NM* Sidious - 25/02/2012 06:54:15 AM 423 Views
Hilarious even for you darius_sedai - 26/02/2012 12:28:28 AM 906 Views
Exactly! *NM* fionwe1987 - 27/02/2012 12:19:57 AM 492 Views
Seems convoluted to me darius_sedai - 26/02/2012 12:44:18 AM 878 Views
his sanity? *NM* Yunalesca - 28/02/2012 06:07:25 PM 616 Views
HA! Sanity is overrated *NM* darius_sedai - 28/02/2012 07:21:01 PM 420 Views
I wonder if he traded a taste of the True Power? LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 12:26:56 AM 814 Views
Now that is an interesting theory! darius_sedai - 29/02/2012 05:42:22 AM 793 Views
Maybe they can use the TP LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 02:43:07 PM 982 Views
Considering how they feel about anything dealing with the shadow, Evil_Monkey - 29/02/2012 03:03:55 PM 773 Views
Why not? I believe RJ basically said they are so different from humans that we could not define darius_sedai - 01/03/2012 04:54:40 AM 880 Views
Yet Light vs. Shadow is? fionwe1987 - 01/03/2012 05:17:14 AM 880 Views
That could boil down to prophesy v. Prophesy darius_sedai - 01/03/2012 05:33:52 AM 883 Views

Yes, but that doesn't mean an Aes Sedai made it. LadyLorraine - 01/03/2012 04:20:10 PM 881 Views
There are others that are just as effective though .. Nynaeve has one and so does Cadsuane darius_sedai - 01/03/2012 04:53:46 PM 975 Views
