that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond kcf Send a noteboard - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM
there is no indication that the bond directly connects things ina way that could be severed by a door shutting. It's not like there's a 'string' of saidar connecting the two at all times. The actual way that the bond works simply isn't understood at that level. So, it actually is a big assumption that the bond could be severed by the melting doorway.

It all comes back to the three ways that we know actually sever the bond - stilling/burning out, death, and voluntary release. We know Moiraine is alive, Lan's actions/condition and the speed of the events make voluntary release highly unlikely. That leaves stiling/burning out as the most reasonable explanation.

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 507 Views
I don't think Moiraine was stilled. Gher - 01/12/2009 11:19:03 PM 783 Views
what about Lan's bond kcf - 01/12/2009 11:23:35 PM 737 Views
I think that the doorway melting did that. Gher - 02/12/2009 12:49:02 AM 850 Views

The doorway melting and snapping the bond is simple enough for me *NM* Deadsy - 01/12/2009 11:24:07 PM 389 Views
as I said above, far too many assumptions in that idea *NM* kcf - 01/12/2009 11:27:12 PM 411 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 732 Views
but she'd been there before kcf - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 813 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 774 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 481 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 401 Views
