Black Tower exploration would be cool too ... I actually think this and exploring the changes in the WT could be incorporated into the Nynaeve in 100 year story too. Perhaps her son is an important Asha'man.

Concerning Nynaeve & the Asha'man, if everyone in charge among them wasn't a total dick, I'd like to have seen them give her the Dragon pin and make her an honorary Asha'man. Considering she discovered how to Heal gentling, helped Cleanse the taint on saidin, and Healed the effects of the taint that still lingered, she has done more for the cause of male channelers than anyone short of Rand himself. He didn't do that much more than she.
Are the Oaths still in place? If they are are the Aes Sedai starting to really see the impact of their halved lives are having in the organization due to the competitive organizations?

I wish that had been developed more, instead of pretty much being forgotten after Egwene's proposal to Romanda. I think it was another issue where RJ was exploring the effects of belief in contrast with reality, but nothing ever came of it.
Do Egwene's negotiations to cross train with the Aiel and Sea Folk have an impact? Have common folk begun to lose their fear of channelers now that the men don't go insane or do the Aes Sedai still attempt to intimidate all channelers into signing up or going into hiding? I always wondered if RJ was aiming for a return to the AOL style organization of Aes Sedai or if he imagined something new happening post-Dragon. Give the cycle of the Wheel I suspect he envisioned a civilization that gradually moved away from the OP until it was completely forgotten, only to be rediscovered in another Age. But perhaps he was really a believer that the Last Battle was in fact the end to that cycle and envisioned something new for his world.

I think that's a no to the last question, given how each book keeps insisting that it's both an Age long forgotten & yet to come. But that doesn't mean the Fourth Age moves back in the direction of the Second Age. I don't think the AoL was ever supposed to be some sort of ideal to be re-achieved, merely just that old, hindsight-idealized time period that people look back on.

That's... actually a really good thought, and one I hadn't ever considered. +1! *NM* - 08/10/2016 05:44:44 PM 288 Views

Wards, wards and more wards - 24/10/2016 04:38:46 AM 625 Views
Don't recall there being such a thing as Traveling detection wards. - 24/10/2016 07:03:19 AM 587 Views
Well there was the "doorbell" thing - 24/10/2016 04:23:19 PM 564 Views
Maybe the Dragon Blooded could work something out, but even the Forsaken didn't know of such a ward. - 24/10/2016 05:15:13 PM 634 Views
we don't know that - 24/10/2016 05:53:34 PM 602 Views
