Answer to the first question. Palatine Send a noteboard - 25/04/2012 04:41:40 PM
So, does anybody else find it weird that neither Rand's patrilineal ancestors (nor his mother, as Andor's requisite training in the White Tower would have undoubtedly detected even the potential to learn) nor his descendants through Aviendha after the first über-channeler generation could channel? None of them have the inevitable ability, and in some cases (Coumin, Ladalin) it is specifically mentioned that they could not even have been trained.


No. Rand is a special case. I don't think that needs explaining.

Yes, I wasn't claiming this was a plot hole or anything... Fanatic-Templar - 25/04/2012 06:06:53 AM 867 Views
Agreed that it is a rather strange twist and seems very sudden to happen within a generation darius_sedai - 25/04/2012 11:15:09 AM 910 Views

I believe the soul of the Channeler is also a factor darius_sedai - 26/04/2012 09:29:07 AM 742 Views

True, but the odds of Channelers having children with the ability are vastly higher darius_sedai - 26/04/2012 10:48:00 AM 805 Views
But in that very revelation, Nynaeve claims that "mother following daughter was rare" Cannoli - 27/04/2012 03:24:21 AM 880 Views
I'm agreeing with you darius_sedai - 27/04/2012 10:27:05 AM 754 Views

I believe there is a quote that the soul is only part of what determines the Channelers strength darius_sedai - 27/04/2012 10:31:22 AM 759 Views
