Re: The strength comparisons don't make sense... Lordling Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 06:55:39 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.


RJ has a list of all the channeler’s strengths. On that list, only 6 people are stronger than Nynaeve.
That sounds like a fact, not a guess. Also, no matter how hard I look, I can't see the word woman anywhere. Only that "only 6 people are stronger than Nynaeve". It's certainly possible that the list is separated between men and women, but IMO it sounds like it isnt.
Rand, Moridin, Demandred, Graendal, Cyndane, Sammael?

Cyndane is "very, very weak"?! Etzel - 17/11/2009 04:41:32 PM 1320 Views
Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 1306 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3379 Views
Yes... Etzel - 17/11/2009 06:02:26 PM 1889 Views
I'm just reporting on the discussion kcf - 17/11/2009 09:04:56 PM 1131 Views
I asked Brandon to clarify last night in Pasadena about Cyndane rhiane - 18/11/2009 05:22:14 PM 1093 Views
Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:42:51 PM 1090 Views
That means, though Etzel - 18/11/2009 05:48:15 PM 975 Views
I've started a new thread, giving the new, DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list. Yay!!! *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:58:03 PM 551 Views

trust me, it does kcf - 19/11/2009 04:22:47 AM 1013 Views
I apparently have to Log In to read this. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:33:03 PM 1377 Views
You don't need the email confirmation! Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:36:40 PM 1231 Views
Hm. I could have sworn I saw something about an email confirmation. Thanks. *NM* Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:38:14 PM 576 Views
Naw how about you quote it for us in a new post *NM* Lord o' Salv - 18/11/2009 12:18:52 AM 600 Views

BS also says in this context... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:05:25 PM 1054 Views
If you read it in context, the list he is referring to is a female list... Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:41:18 PM 1109 Views
I don't think... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:48:36 PM 931 Views
How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM 1486 Views
Difficult... Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:58:41 PM 1117 Views
Pahus! Yeah, you´re correct *NM* Lordling - 17/11/2009 07:59:49 PM 544 Views

I think he mis-spoke just a bit VTHokie - 17/11/2009 07:37:24 PM 935 Views
He wasn/t 100% sure of Semirhage... *NM* Shannow - 17/11/2009 07:44:11 PM 527 Views
forgetting Cyndane, it does kcf - 17/11/2009 08:56:16 PM 1092 Views

Talaan and Someryn are pure guesses from Dom... Shannow - 17/11/2009 10:06:56 PM 1099 Views
Elayne at the beginning of PoD thinks Talaan is at least as great as Nyn NaClH2O - 18/11/2009 12:23:31 AM 997 Views

It almost has to be Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 1022 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 665 Views
But here's the thing.... Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 1081 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 1177 Views
I was just making argument Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 11:05:18 PM 1072 Views
Guaire Amalasan! Legolas - 18/11/2009 12:50:09 AM 1082 Views
Maybe Hawkwing took Justice from Amalasan after the Battle of the Jolvaine Pass? Werthead - 18/11/2009 02:09:03 AM 1136 Views
That was the crazy part - I named him as one of LitN's "other channelers producing weapons". Legolas - 18/11/2009 02:17:25 AM 986 Views
Re: Guaire Amalasan! Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:18:37 AM 1116 Views
And I appreciate your arguments! Matrimony Cauthon - 18/11/2009 08:49:55 AM 1034 Views
Perhaps it's a "Sword for the Ages" Light in the Night - 18/11/2009 09:26:00 AM 959 Views
Where does it say it was found in water? guttering flame - 18/11/2009 09:36:52 AM 905 Views

My theories of what Brandon could have meant about Cyndane. Logain - 17/11/2009 11:25:30 PM 1131 Views
Who is the Aiel chick with all the one power strength? I forget who, but she is Shaido. *NM* Logain - 17/11/2009 11:34:42 PM 547 Views
Someryn *NM* kcf - 17/11/2009 11:38:42 PM 557 Views
One of the women stronger than Nynaeve is probably a Sharan Logain - 17/11/2009 11:53:12 PM 949 Views
don't read too much into this kcf - 18/11/2009 12:00:19 AM 958 Views
It could be true Logain - 18/11/2009 02:14:50 AM 982 Views
