Yes, but why did that require giving Lanfear an angreal? Gher Send a noteboard - 01/12/2009 06:37:44 PM
She was already super powerful. No one would have defeated her. Egwene, Aviendha, Rand, Moiraine, Wise Ones, they would all have lost even without the Angreal. You don't give your enemy an angreal unless it somehow gives you an advantage. And we've never seen any advantage in strengthening your enemy.

So either Moiraine knew from the arches that she could ensure Lanfear was burned out by grabbing the angreal from her, or she needed to make sure that Rand didn't try to fight her and end up dying himself or *semispoiler from TGS* | killing her and turning into Dark Halo Rand right there|.

I know she knew beforehand what would happen. But what value did she see in leaving the angreal for Lanfear?

I don't think she severed the bond, but I do think the melting caused it to snap. *NM* Deadsy - 01/12/2009 04:36:21 AM 315 Views

I personally don't think Moiraine "manually" severed the bond... Gher - 01/12/2009 05:15:54 PM 668 Views

Probably to destroy the doorway and burn Lanfear out, yes Etzel - 01/12/2009 06:42:27 PM 643 Views
Maybe it was just a lure? Nameless Ashaman - 01/12/2009 11:45:10 PM 685 Views
That's not a bad idea either. Gher - 02/12/2009 12:51:46 AM 618 Views
To get Lanfear into position Sidious - 02/12/2009 09:11:08 AM 685 Views
Moiraine knew about this event (passing on Lan's bond) since tEotW at least (I think it's that book) *NM* BlackAdder - 02/12/2009 12:58:29 AM 274 Views
