Someone must ask him: Is Cyndane one of the 6 above Nynaeve. Shannow Send a noteboard - 19/11/2009 05:35:10 AM
That will settle eveything. As he seems pretty open about this stuff, we should get a clear answer.

He seems to think Cyndane's identity is this big secret that must be protected, which it isn't. We all know she's Lanfear. We aren't trying to trick him into revealing that. We're just interested in her comparative strength.

Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list... Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:56:58 PM 2124 Views
Sounds good Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:08:15 PM 1039 Views

Re: Someryn Logain - 18/11/2009 06:20:44 PM 1085 Views
I acknowledge that possibility... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:24:30 PM 959 Views
Someryn implies that Graendal is stronger. Rurouni_Kenshin - 19/11/2009 01:51:31 PM 1054 Views
Excellent point...I'd forgotten about that... Shannow - 19/11/2009 02:00:30 PM 974 Views
As I understand it... Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:23:26 PM 1052 Views
My view is that the new list is just a revised one, after RJ changed his mind on some things... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:28:53 PM 1106 Views
Agreed. fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:31:22 PM 905 Views
I suppose that's possible. *NM* Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:31:42 PM 711 Views
I agree with this interpretation on the new vs. old list kcf - 18/11/2009 07:13:02 PM 999 Views
Re: Sounds good kcf - 18/11/2009 07:11:17 PM 915 Views
Did it sound like Sanderson knew the names of all 6 women above Nynaeve? Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:12:57 PM 1041 Views
Re: Did it sound like Sanderson knew the names of all 6 women above Nynaeve? kcf - 18/11/2009 07:15:22 PM 1136 Views

Re: Also, a couple more questions, if I may... kcf - 18/11/2009 07:23:45 PM 919 Views
But you said that you asked him whether Cyndane was one of the 6, and he said no. Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:26:17 PM 976 Views
Re: But you said that you asked him whether Cyndane was one of the 6, and he said no. kcf - 18/11/2009 07:31:35 PM 943 Views
That blows a heck of a lot of this theory out of the water... Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:33:39 PM 962 Views
it's possible, but I'd say unlikely kcf - 18/11/2009 07:34:32 PM 994 Views
One problem... Rand al'Thor - 18/11/2009 06:10:06 PM 1095 Views
No... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:14:48 PM 1004 Views
That's not a problem. Rand al'Thor - 18/11/2009 06:31:37 PM 954 Views
Why on earth would there be multiple restrictions on Cyndane's strength? Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:47:56 PM 856 Views
Sorry buddy Rand al'Thor - 18/11/2009 07:36:00 PM 984 Views
Re: Sorry buddy rhiane - 18/11/2009 09:49:01 PM 879 Views
Are you able to give any more detail on Sanderson's answer to your Cyndane question? Shannow - 18/11/2009 10:02:17 PM 969 Views
But Nynaeve and Mogheiden were of equal strength beetnemesis - 18/11/2009 06:15:52 PM 1150 Views
Nynaeve matched Moghedien when Nynaeve was not close to her full potential yet... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:19:07 PM 1185 Views
I agree...and I have a question regarding Moghedien. Logain - 18/11/2009 06:30:07 PM 983 Views
Cyndane has to be above Graendal. *NM* fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:33:16 PM 555 Views
You're right. I'll post new list below. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 06:39:36 PM 577 Views
Was she? Nyn was mid20s and a wilder, I thought she had reached full strength beetnemesis - 18/11/2009 08:00:24 PM 1022 Views
As late as CoS, Nynaeve states that she is not close to her full potential yet. *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 08:04:47 PM 572 Views
She really hasn't had that much time channelling though. Wotmaniac Reborn - 18/11/2009 08:07:31 PM 700 Views
Wilders rarely reach their full potential if they're blocked. *NM* fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:43:30 PM 593 Views
I know the Cleansing forced her a bit. Gher - 18/11/2009 08:44:59 PM 982 Views
That's been said before- anyone know where it says that in the text? beetnemesis - 19/11/2009 05:53:50 AM 769 Views
Re: Nynaeve matched Moghedien when Nynaeve was not close to her full potential yet... The_Archer - 10/12/2010 08:07:05 PM 932 Views
Re: Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list... Tedtheman - 18/11/2009 06:22:50 PM 859 Views
More or less agreed. I was right about Nynaeve! fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:29:27 PM 896 Views
IMO... Etzel - 18/11/2009 06:37:19 PM 1019 Views
I don't know... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:56:10 PM 889 Views
I still think Alivia is below Lanfear's strength level... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:59:01 PM 1196 Views
That just doesn't make sense... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 07:02:17 PM 1011 Views
I agree that Lanfear and Alivia are tied. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 07:06:19 PM 579 Views
All of my instincts indeed argue that 4 of the Forsaken CANNOT be below Nynaeve, but... Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:06:25 PM 849 Views
But why doesn't it make sense? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:47:42 PM 749 Views
Talaan, Alivia and Sharina reduced my estimation of Nynaeve dramatically... Shannow - 18/11/2009 08:54:29 PM 913 Views
All this can be explained by the fact that Nynaeve was yet to reach her potential. fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:25:41 PM 918 Views
I don't think... Etzel - 18/11/2009 07:08:09 PM 1081 Views
Damane never recieve special status... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:52:32 PM 867 Views
Good point... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:00:51 PM 906 Views
Thing is... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:10:45 PM 946 Views
Lanfear cannot even defeat Rand. Nynaeve wouldn't last a minute against him. Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:13:06 PM 868 Views
And Rand couldn't defeat Lanfear. What's your point? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:26:06 PM 729 Views
He could. RJ stated it in a Q&A. Rand just couldn't bring himself to do it... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:45:18 PM 730 Views
But so could Lanfear, and both had angreal, confusing the situation considerably. fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:47:25 PM 794 Views
My point was... Etzel - 18/11/2009 09:05:28 PM 947 Views
I agree *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:10:46 PM 541 Views
If Tuon had the strongest... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:12:22 PM 858 Views
Sera must be stronger... Etzel - 18/11/2009 09:25:00 PM 855 Views
There's no reason to be certain about it... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:28:26 PM 901 Views
Well, the Bloodknives are precisely Tuon's tools Etzel - 18/11/2009 09:32:46 PM 859 Views
There are SIX women stronger than Nynaeve, and at least five are accounted for... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:46:28 PM 913 Views
There are six stronger women named on the list Etzel - 19/11/2009 11:40:52 AM 917 Views
I'm not ignoring Sera! fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 06:13:43 PM 781 Views
You misunderstand me... Etzel - 19/11/2009 06:16:31 PM 873 Views
I doesn't make "sense". Let's leave it... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 06:19:52 PM 848 Views
There are SIX women stronger than Nynaeve, and at least five are accounted for... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:46:29 PM 1037 Views
But Alivia (while strong in the OP) is an old fraile lady on her deathbed. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 09:41:33 PM 572 Views
Pardon? Don't understand this really. *NM* Etzel - 19/11/2009 11:45:21 AM 413 Views
You keep saying Alivia was "a common damane" darius_sedai - 28/11/2009 08:58:42 PM 751 Views
You were right about Nynaeve, I was right about Graendal! Well done! Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:37:42 PM 996 Views
Yes. This is one WoT debate coming to a close... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 06:54:06 PM 770 Views
I have one problem with your list. Kaldric - 18/11/2009 06:36:02 PM 969 Views
RJ said the Forsaken ALWAYS overrate themselves... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:54:45 PM 829 Views
I totally agree. Mesaana is weaker than Semirhage. This was also confirmed by BS *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 06:56:30 PM 534 Views
Mesaana is cold and calculating. Kaldric - 18/11/2009 07:03:49 PM 867 Views
I'm sorry, but I find it mindblowing that you find this mindblowing. TaskmasterJack - 18/11/2009 06:36:37 PM 906 Views
Some of us have been debating this for 5 years on Wotmania... Shannow - 18/11/2009 06:57:08 PM 968 Views
I think it goes like this: Logain - 18/11/2009 06:53:07 PM 910 Views
There is a side effect to all of this rearrangement...we may have to rethink the wonder girls. Logain - 18/11/2009 07:04:17 PM 968 Views
We'll have to re-read the sections where Moghedien is captured. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/11/2009 07:08:07 PM 869 Views
Damn. That's a thought I definitely DON'T relish. Thankfully... Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:09:18 PM 895 Views
Helpless at her strength at the time, or helpless at Egwene's full potential? *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 07:26:15 PM 527 Views
Egwene was forced, so she was already at her full potential when she made this comment. *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 07:45:08 PM 536 Views
I admit she was forced, but how does that guarantee she was at full strength? *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 08:06:40 PM 536 Views
I'm 90% sure it is stated somewhere... *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 08:10:03 PM 526 Views
Egwene was at her full strength. Elayne comments on this in The Shadow Rising IIRC. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/11/2009 08:34:37 PM 972 Views
She only says that Egwene is stronger and had been forced darius_sedai - 29/11/2009 01:54:56 AM 873 Views
Where does she say this? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:54:39 PM 910 Views
No, she explicitly refers to herself vs Moghedien... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:01:53 PM 903 Views
Here are the quotes... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:24:24 PM 921 Views
Oh come on. You're totally twisting that passage to suit your argument... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:54:56 PM 811 Views
I could say the same... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 10:50:44 PM 829 Views
So let me get this straight... Shannow - 19/11/2009 06:44:03 AM 847 Views
No... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 07:37:29 AM 905 Views
Look at it this way... Shannow - 19/11/2009 10:23:06 AM 881 Views
Dude, there were other quotes... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 06:15:32 PM 781 Views
What about Sammael? The debate about Sammael and Rahvin has been decided now too. Logain - 18/11/2009 08:03:35 PM 941 Views

Dude, Rand is scared of Graendal... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:05:28 PM 845 Views
Disagree... Shannow - 18/11/2009 09:09:45 PM 958 Views
Disagree back... for the last time though... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 09:39:25 PM 804 Views
About the top 6... Shannow - 18/11/2009 10:08:37 PM 898 Views

Re: That's ridiculous... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 08:08:14 AM 864 Views

If Rahvin were stronger... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2009 08:59:32 PM 823 Views
Graendal could not face down Rand. And if she thinks she can it is b/c she has an angreal. *NM* Logain - 18/11/2009 09:49:00 PM 500 Views
But Rand did not know of her angreal. *NM* fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 12:03:21 AM 496 Views
Rand knows he can beat Graendal in a heads-up-duel. Graendal knows she would lose. *NM* Logain - 28/11/2009 10:07:27 PM 540 Views

winning in TAR had nothing to do with OP strength... that was pure skill and later Moghedien lost! darius_sedai - 11/12/2010 04:14:26 PM 800 Views
