I think that the doorway melting did that. Gher Send a noteboard - 02/12/2009 12:49:02 AM
If you don't think Moiraine was stilled/burned out, then why did Lan's bond break?

I don't buy the idea about the doorway melting. That simply doesn't make sense to me. It also makes a whole bunch of assumptions that we really don't know about. While we do know that the Warder bond is severed by stilling/burning out and death. We know Moiraine lives, so the simplest remaining explanation is that she was stilled/burned out.


The string analogy is the best one. An invisible string between Moiraine and Lan, that was severed when the connection between the two worlds was broken. I think the best proof for or against this theory would be to examine what happens when a Bonded person (Aes Sedai or Warder or their respective equivalents) goes to TAR. Does the bond still point them to the real life place their partner is at? To the TAR reflection? Or does the position locator aspect of the bond not work? If I remember correctly, it's said that they can't point to where their partner is. Obviously the pathway from real life to TAR is always open, TAR is after a reflection of the "real" world. So the Bond wouldn't break, but it does affect the mechanics of it.

There's also the possibility that Moiraine "manually" severed the bond or passed it on.

Not sure, but it seemed like she planned for it. At one point - 02/12/2009 01:23:36 AM 1098 Views

I think that since Moiraine was in another dimension, the Bond passed to the closest holder. - 01/12/2009 11:43:15 PM 1170 Views
but she'd been there before - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 1233 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 1205 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 675 Views
that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM 1244 Views

BS not committing to the Cyndane = Lanfear scenario has me wondering as well - 02/12/2009 02:51:30 AM 1378 Views

Maybe they put some of Ilyena in Cyndane. - 04/12/2009 06:52:01 PM 1204 Views
LOL ... Lanfear doesn't need Ilyena to be an LTT stalker! - 04/12/2009 07:09:02 PM 1156 Views
Right, But Ilyena Doesn't Need Lanfear for That Either. - 04/12/2009 07:17:29 PM 1154 Views
