there's no indication that the gateway isn't almost on top of a city Jim Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 03:09:31 AM

The amount of Power used to make a gateway is quite large. There's no indication that Avi's gateway is far from Seanchan civilization, it seems likely that the damane nearby simply sensed the creation of the gateway.


Except, there would have been no damane nearby when the gateway was made because there was a blizzard happening and it was the middle of the night.


Asmodean mentions that anyone within a mile could have felt what Rand did, I would assume that the gateway takes nearly as much Power and therefore a damane wouldn't have to be that close to sense it. Plus, with it being open they could likely still sense it.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

How to disrupt gateways that are made into a battle zone... Shannow - 16/11/2009 08:48:36 AM 989 Views
there could be other defensive methods as well redhand - 16/11/2009 09:06:56 AM 695 Views
Excellent suggestions... Shannow - 16/11/2009 09:08:59 AM 718 Views
That depends on whether moving gateways are possible. rAndy aL - 19/11/2009 02:01:40 AM 619 Views
I might as well present my argument in full Sidious - 16/11/2009 09:52:34 AM 813 Views
Both options can be valid, but here's why you MUST have the ward... Shannow - 16/11/2009 10:10:55 AM 956 Views

I think there's some evidence in favor of the wards idea you are all missing. Logain - 16/11/2009 05:29:22 PM 664 Views
I disagree Jim - 16/11/2009 07:15:53 PM 637 Views

It's definitely possible that there can be a ward to detect a gateway opening. Kronin al'Sulc - 17/11/2009 03:22:33 PM 624 Views
How bout a compromise? Gher - 16/11/2009 06:37:40 PM 682 Views
We know that, for e.g., Sammael could detect the location of a Gateway Marshall - 16/11/2009 08:21:57 PM 602 Views
Ahh, I see that Sidious has already suggested this. *NM* Marshall - 16/11/2009 08:30:55 PM 262 Views
i think an automatic weave would be too complicated to cover any reasonable area. Onarishma - 17/11/2009 06:06:54 AM 620 Views

I don't think you need to travel to the Gateway to disrupt it if the ward notifies you of location Onarishma - 17/11/2009 10:57:06 PM 647 Views
I believe that you cannot make a ward completely preventing Traveling. Kronin al'Sulc - 17/11/2009 01:52:24 PM 578 Views
