You're pathetic... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 30/10/2012 01:20:01 AM
In truth, Aviendha and Egwene together would not exceed Lanfear's strength. That was Moiraine's desperate hope, but we see that just one book previously, Egwene plus Elayne - who equals Aviendha in strength - could not even come close to matching an undeveloped Rand, who is not yet equal to Lanfear in strength.

This is terribly amusing. One minute Moiraine's quote is the lynchpin of your theory. Then when the actual quote comes out totally rubbishing your theory, it is suddenly a desperate hope. Pathetic.

As for Rand... are you effing kidding me? He shielded them before they could do anything. They weren't even embracing the source when he did it!

Therefore the reality is that at the time of FoH Egwene and Aviendha combined would have no hope of matching Lanfear's raw strength.

Yes. Reality. Of course. Ignore everything that points the other way.

It's only as skewed as it seems when you make the assumption that the Forsaken darius_sedai - 31/10/2012 04:34:11 AM 1317 Views

That the 1000 Novices aren't a random sample of the population? fionwe1987 - 29/10/2012 08:23:47 PM 902 Views

That's exactly the point. I want you to explain why it wasn't random. Tor - 30/10/2012 02:14:59 PM 946 Views
