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.

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 719 Views

The doorway melting and snapping the bond is simple enough for me *NM* Deadsy - 01/12/2009 11:24:07 PM 572 Views
as I said above, far too many assumptions in that idea *NM* kcf - 01/12/2009 11:27:12 PM 606 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 1173 Views
but she'd been there before kcf - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 1233 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 1209 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 675 Views
that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond kcf - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM 1247 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 1259 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 589 Views
