The strength comparisons don't make sense... Shannow Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 06:26:05 PM
There will be much more to come, but I just posted the details of my Q&A time with Brandon over on the 13th depository.

Sidious - this is a must read for you. Brandon is pretty forthcoming on strength issues. You should find people to ask more of these questions.

Have fun with it all!


How can Cyndane be very, very weak in the Power?

And is he sure or not sure about the Semirahge vs Nynaeve strength comparison? Why does he say "he is pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger?" Either she is or she isn't.

Also, who are the six women stronger than Nynaeve then, if Semirhage isn't one of them?

I wonder if he knows what he's talking about. I think BS needs to have a good look at that strength list of RJ's before guessing about these things.

Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM 1223 Views
Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 1204 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3281 Views

BS also says in this context... - 17/11/2009 07:05:25 PM 952 Views
If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 1013 Views
I don't think... - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 839 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1390 Views
Difficult... - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 1023 Views

I think he mis-spoke just a bit - 17/11/2009 07:37:24 PM 841 Views
He wasn/t 100% sure of Semirhage... *NM* - 17/11/2009 07:44:11 PM 480 Views

It almost has to be Justice - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 933 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 610 Views
But here's the thing.... - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 981 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 1083 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 1014 Views
Who is the Aiel chick with all the one power strength? I forget who, but she is Shaido. *NM* - 17/11/2009 11:34:42 PM 493 Views
Someryn *NM* - 17/11/2009 11:38:42 PM 502 Views
One of the women stronger than Nynaeve is probably a Sharan - 17/11/2009 11:53:12 PM 863 Views
don't read too much into this - 18/11/2009 12:00:19 AM 871 Views
It could be true - 18/11/2009 02:14:50 AM 900 Views
Cyndane's body - 18/11/2009 06:22:45 AM 862 Views
