I doubt it kcf Send a noteboard - 02/12/2009 08:55:23 PM
I think this is really just a case that Sanderson isn't willing to say that Cyndane is Lanfear reborn - it hasn't been stated directly in the books, though there are some huge clues that this is the case. The more casual fan still may not have picked up on these clues.

Also, don't forget the NDS agreement he signed. This is the sort of thing that fall under the NDS, so it's likely that he simply can't reveal it.


Obviously there's a lot going on with Cyndane and it's clearly wrapped up with what happend to Moiraine. Knowing that this will be resolved in the next book, all the RAFO type of answers make a lot sense to me.

Basically, Brandon is getting himself into troube because he's a fan and he wants to help the other fans out. If he was more willing to simply answer RAFO than to try and work out what he can say, should say, shoudn't say, etc, then he'd be better off. I certainly don't fault him for helping us out - it's way more fun this way.

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 603 Views
I don't think Moiraine was stilled. Gher - 01/12/2009 11:19:03 PM 973 Views
what about Lan's bond kcf - 01/12/2009 11:23:35 PM 955 Views
I think that the doorway melting did that. Gher - 02/12/2009 12:49:02 AM 1030 Views

Not sure, but it seemed like she planned for it. At one point BlackAdder - 02/12/2009 01:23:36 AM 847 Views
Rand wasn't stilled when beetnemesis - 02/12/2009 06:48:42 AM 873 Views
The doorway melting and snapping the bond is simple enough for me *NM* Deadsy - 01/12/2009 11:24:07 PM 478 Views
as I said above, far too many assumptions in that idea *NM* kcf - 01/12/2009 11:27:12 PM 493 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 942 Views
but she'd been there before kcf - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 1022 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 986 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 563 Views
that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond kcf - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM 974 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 1012 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 1144 Views
The only possibility is "something weird" if Cyndane ISN'T just "Lanfear" Tom - 02/12/2009 05:26:23 AM 894 Views
Re: The only possibility is "something weird" if Cyndane ISN'T just "Lanfear" AliasRY - 02/12/2009 05:46:30 AM 953 Views
That would be absolutely hilarious!!! *NM* Tom - 02/12/2009 05:49:01 AM 489 Views
That'd blow some minds. *NM* Gher - 02/12/2009 05:56:06 AM 518 Views
Maybe they put some of Ilyena in Cyndane. Joel - 04/12/2009 06:52:01 PM 965 Views
LOL ... Lanfear doesn't need Ilyena to be an LTT stalker! darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 07:09:02 PM 921 Views
Right, But Ilyena Doesn't Need Lanfear for That Either. The Name With No Man - 04/12/2009 07:17:29 PM 939 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 796 Views
Never Said It Had to Be the DO. The Name With No Man - 04/12/2009 09:43:58 PM 795 Views
it would indeed be a totall shocker! darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 09:50:16 PM 1048 Views
Weird is a given, I think Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 07:12:45 AM 1045 Views
It may be as simple as... fionwe1987 - 02/12/2009 09:42:50 AM 855 Views
I didn't see any sexual connotation attached to it.... Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 10:38:07 AM 848 Views

Maybe it's a wild goose chase. Joel - 04/12/2009 06:44:55 PM 1022 Views
There are several holes with this scenario... fionwe1987 - 02/12/2009 02:18:28 AM 1038 Views
On Transmitigation vs rebirth: Gher - 02/12/2009 02:35:23 AM 1346 Views

But that doesn't explain why Leane and Siuan are now essentially equal darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 06:21:47 PM 894 Views
oops I double posted this! *NM* darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 06:23:02 PM 454 Views
I don't think they're equal Sidious - 03/12/2009 04:43:13 AM 841 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 1054 Views
Re: There are several holes with this scenario... kcf - 02/12/2009 09:08:00 PM 1079 Views
I don't think they were stilled or burned out. Tom - 02/12/2009 04:37:09 AM 807 Views
I have no opinion on the theory (yet), but Wotmaniac Reborn - 02/12/2009 04:42:36 AM 858 Views
Disagree. There's no way they don't. Gher - 02/12/2009 05:26:00 AM 871 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 480 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 461 Views
agreed - Moiraine doesn't need to channel to make a difference *NM* kcf - 02/12/2009 04:38:50 PM 509 Views
Yub, I generally agree Etzel - 02/12/2009 11:56:03 AM 799 Views
I'm always nervous when we agree kcf - 02/12/2009 04:24:51 PM 848 Views
I think it's cool! Etzel - 02/12/2009 06:01:32 PM 815 Views
