That's because you see it as a leash... Onarishma Send a noteboard - 03/12/2012 10:45:17 PM
I honestly don't recall one way or the other, and just assumed Warders were screwed in that respect along with all others, so if you have a quote, please point me to it.


There is also Elias who is technically still a Warder


Does he really mask the bond, though? I can't remember any reference to it. I know Rina let him go and didn't try to chase him down to force him to return to her, but I figured they still sense each like any other Aes Sedai/Warder pair would.

As such, I thought it was the nature of the bond itself that kept Warders from being able to mask their end of the bond (the person bonded is very much in a submissive position with no power whatsoever in the arrangement). I figure Min could probably learn to do it if she practiced long enough. I picture masking the bond almost like the way channelers ignore the heat/cold...it's something non-channelers could do if they trained and understood the concept. However, given the nature of the bond, I would think that the masking can only be done by the one who holds the leash, so to speak.



I don't think its the nature of the bond. the bond is a shunt of power and emotions. When a Warder is bonded he and the AS become one. She stores the OP in him which is why he has the increase in health and extrasensory perceptions and why when she is desparate she can draw that stored power from him. When a channeler is the bondee he has his own source of power the bond is just emotional and while I'm sure she can draw power from him I'm doubtful that he would ever be in danger of beign sucked dry like a non-channeler. When you comprehend the natur of the bond as a shunt of the Power then only those who can control the power can control how they experience that power. Min will never be able to mask her bond anymore than she could channel or draw power from Rand into herself.

Only the ability to control the bond is in the hands of the bonder and I believe that no one who can channel can be compelled with the basic weaves. Just with the weave with the added on Compulsion.

No reason it can't be both Pevara asking Androl AND Androl being Farestrider's kid *NM* darius_sedai - 28/11/2012 02:11:58 AM 787 Views
The whole idea of "Farstrider's son" sounds silly, if you ask me DomA - 28/11/2012 03:23:11 AM 1574 Views

well isn't wild speculation part of the reason for a discussion forum? darius_sedai - 28/11/2012 04:00:35 PM 1051 Views

Re: Day #4: "Pass his bond to me." --- Moraine to Alanna? darius_sedai - 29/11/2012 05:55:22 PM 1128 Views
No, I think it is Egwene demanding it from Alanna, or Elayne... lilltempest - 29/11/2012 06:27:59 PM 1252 Views

I can't see a forsaken wanting the bond with all the downsides it would cary for them. HyogaRott - 29/11/2012 06:36:08 PM 1250 Views
Egwene to Alanna, IMO. DomA - 29/11/2012 07:00:01 PM 1474 Views
Highly doubtful... fionwe1987 - 29/11/2012 07:14:33 PM 1241 Views
Agreed, Egwene would see the disadvantages of holding his bond as outweighing the advantages darius_sedai - 29/11/2012 07:27:48 PM 1215 Views
Regarding Rand "tracking her actions", she can mask the bond to take care of that. *NM* lilltempest - 29/11/2012 07:45:03 PM 762 Views
That masking works both ways... *NM* fionwe1987 - 29/11/2012 07:49:41 PM 628 Views
Does it? Have we seen a Warder who can mask the bond from his owner? lilltempest - 29/11/2012 07:54:17 PM 1069 Views
Most warders aren't channelers... Min can't mask and she is the bonder in the situation and then Onarishma - 29/11/2012 08:05:53 PM 1295 Views
You're right, most aren't channelers... lilltempest - 29/11/2012 08:22:04 PM 1073 Views
That's because you see it as a leash... Onarishma - 03/12/2012 10:45:17 PM 1169 Views
well it can be a leash, but that's up to the bond holder darius_sedai - 03/12/2012 10:56:49 PM 1159 Views
where have we seen this emotional and physical stress that was related at all to the bond? *NM* Onarishma - 04/12/2012 12:08:23 AM 710 Views

Moiraine and Myrelle seem to have a similar view... fionwe1987 - 04/12/2012 12:10:05 AM 1298 Views
Mostly agreed darius_sedai - 04/12/2012 04:34:47 AM 1158 Views
Hmmm... fionwe1987 - 29/11/2012 08:42:25 PM 1139 Views
I think Aviendha (she told Min about it) is simply ignorant about the mechanics of masking *NM* darius_sedai - 30/11/2012 03:44:01 AM 678 Views

You are correct ... Min told Aviendha! darius_sedai - 30/11/2012 03:59:27 PM 1077 Views

Nope.. fionwe1987 - 30/11/2012 08:56:59 PM 985 Views
this is the scene I'm referring too ... but it DID work for Aviendha darius_sedai - 30/11/2012 10:19:21 PM 1133 Views

Yet Min holds Rands Bond *NM* darius_sedai - 01/12/2012 05:48:39 AM 625 Views
And? What does that prove? lilltempest - 01/12/2012 05:53:43 AM 1185 Views
I think we do know a couple of things darius_sedai - 01/12/2012 03:32:09 PM 1015 Views
Ah, then yes, we're on the same side of this argument. lilltempest - 01/12/2012 11:08:23 PM 1056 Views
You still haven't addressed the main point... fionwe1987 - 02/12/2012 03:01:32 AM 1179 Views
Hmmm fionwe1987 - 01/12/2012 04:22:26 AM 1086 Views
Min is not the Warder in the situation with Rand. She is the only non-Channeler who is a bond holde darius_sedai - 01/12/2012 05:52:08 AM 1121 Views
I'm pretty sure Elayas can't mask the bond either ... I'd have to go look, but I think there darius_sedai - 30/11/2012 03:41:51 AM 1095 Views

Many people do... lilltempest - 01/12/2012 05:47:06 AM 1176 Views
Not seeing it in the situation you wrote. Sorry. fionwe1987 - 01/12/2012 03:57:32 PM 1160 Views
Of course you don't. In your world, Egwene will glare at Tuon and Tuon will drop to her knees.... lilltempest - 01/12/2012 11:13:53 PM 1296 Views
What's that got to do with anything? fionwe1987 - 02/12/2012 03:00:08 AM 1323 Views
Hmm yeah sounds more like Moiraine or possibly Nynaeve *NM* Praziquantel - 01/12/2012 07:03:42 AM 663 Views
