Moiraine and Lanfear kcf Send a noteboard - 01/12/2009 10:24:54 PM
I think this is pretty well believed, but I want to go on firm record for thinking it now before it's revealed in later books.

When Moiraine and Lanfear tumbled through the the ter'angreal doorway that melted, they were burned out or stilled (I'm not sure it really matters which). This explains why Lan's bond was cut. Moiraine is still captive there and will be rescued by Thom, Mat and Noel in ToM. Moiraine will likely be healed by Finn at some point. Otherwise, she'll live a happy rest of her life with Tom as a non-channeler.

Lanfear was killed. She was either executed or she committed suicide. The DO transmigrated her into Cyndane and ordered her healed. I believe she was probably healed by a BA yellow from the rebels but it's also possible that a female forsaken did it. We know it wasn't Graendal. It could have been either Moghedien, Mesaana or Semirhage. I think Moghedien is the most likely of the forsaken since she could have easily picked up the healing weave in Salidar and she is bound to Moridin, but the timeline needs to be checked on this. This is why Cyndane is lower in strength than Lanfear.


This is the most simple and reasonable explanation for things as we know them now. IMO, other theories are unecessarily complicated, and therefore not very likely.

I'm betting she decides to stay a non-channeler and put her past behind her. *NM* RandAllThor - 01/12/2009 11:09:32 PM 663 Views
I don't think Moiraine was stilled. Gher - 01/12/2009 11:19:03 PM 1085 Views
what about Lan's bond kcf - 01/12/2009 11:23:35 PM 1050 Views
I think that the doorway melting did that. Gher - 02/12/2009 12:49:02 AM 1129 Views

Not sure, but it seemed like she planned for it. At one point BlackAdder - 02/12/2009 01:23:36 AM 970 Views

The doorway melting and snapping the bond is simple enough for me *NM* Deadsy - 01/12/2009 11:24:07 PM 526 Views
as I said above, far too many assumptions in that idea *NM* kcf - 01/12/2009 11:27:12 PM 548 Views

I think that since Moiraine was in another dimension, the Bond passed to the closest holder. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/12/2009 11:43:15 PM 1070 Views
but she'd been there before kcf - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 1130 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 1090 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 623 Views
that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond kcf - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM 1123 Views
no more than the assumptions of the actions take on the other side of the door! darius_sedai - 03/12/2009 07:51:59 AM 1131 Views
My only complaint... Rand al'Thor - 02/12/2009 12:34:34 AM 1021 Views

BS not committing to the Cyndane = Lanfear scenario has me wondering as well Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 02:51:30 AM 1273 Views
The only possibility is "something weird" if Cyndane ISN'T just "Lanfear" Tom - 02/12/2009 05:26:23 AM 1016 Views

That would be absolutely hilarious!!! *NM* Tom - 02/12/2009 05:49:01 AM 549 Views
That'd blow some minds. *NM* Gher - 02/12/2009 05:56:06 AM 563 Views
Maybe they put some of Ilyena in Cyndane. Joel - 04/12/2009 06:52:01 PM 1078 Views
LOL ... Lanfear doesn't need Ilyena to be an LTT stalker! darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 07:09:02 PM 1050 Views
Right, But Ilyena Doesn't Need Lanfear for That Either. The Name With No Man - 04/12/2009 07:17:29 PM 1047 Views
I'm 99.99% sure RJ said that the DO had to grab a soul quickly after death or it was lost darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 09:13:18 PM 899 Views
Never Said It Had to Be the DO. The Name With No Man - 04/12/2009 09:43:58 PM 895 Views
it would indeed be a totall shocker! darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 09:50:16 PM 1170 Views
Weird is a given, I think Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 07:12:45 AM 1165 Views
It may be as simple as... fionwe1987 - 02/12/2009 09:42:50 AM 966 Views
I didn't see any sexual connotation attached to it.... Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 10:38:07 AM 964 Views

Maybe it's a wild goose chase. Joel - 04/12/2009 06:44:55 PM 1149 Views
There are several holes with this scenario... fionwe1987 - 02/12/2009 02:18:28 AM 1160 Views

Agreed, the angreal theory seems most likely IMO (about Lanfear/Cyndane) *NM* Lord Haart - 02/12/2009 05:39:55 AM 501 Views

But that doesn't explain why Leane and Siuan are now essentially equal darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 06:21:47 PM 996 Views
oops I double posted this! *NM* darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 06:23:02 PM 506 Views
I don't think they're equal Sidious - 03/12/2009 04:43:13 AM 948 Views
There is no deference, which would be expected in their "game" of hating each other darius_sedai - 03/12/2009 07:38:57 AM 1180 Views
Re: There are several holes with this scenario... kcf - 02/12/2009 09:08:00 PM 1246 Views
I don't think they were stilled or burned out. Tom - 02/12/2009 04:37:09 AM 911 Views
I have no opinion on the theory (yet), but Wotmaniac Reborn - 02/12/2009 04:42:36 AM 951 Views
Disagree. There's no way they don't. Gher - 02/12/2009 05:26:00 AM 985 Views

Moiraine will make a huge difference to TG (Min's viewing) so I think she will need to channel. *NM* Lord Haart - 02/12/2009 05:38:03 AM 541 Views
Min doesn't channel, and she makes a big difference. As does Thom. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 02/12/2009 09:57:10 AM 523 Views
agreed - Moiraine doesn't need to channel to make a difference *NM* kcf - 02/12/2009 04:38:50 PM 605 Views
Yub, I generally agree Etzel - 02/12/2009 11:56:03 AM 908 Views
I'm always nervous when we agree kcf - 02/12/2009 04:24:51 PM 956 Views
I think it's cool! Etzel - 02/12/2009 06:01:32 PM 928 Views
