no more than the assumptions of the actions take on the other side of the door! darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 07:51:59 AM
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.


You are trying to position your theory as the most simple solution, yet there are a whole lot of assumptions being made! You seem to think that Lanfear and/or Moiraine were stilled/burned out, then Lanfear was killed, transmigrated, then found a BA who not only knew Nynaeve's weaves, but could improve on them! I think that's very convoluted to be honest.

It's easily as likely (IMO more so) that neither Moiraine nor Lanfear was burned out in the doorway and that Cyndane is weaker because the DO made it so as part of her punishment. If the DO can transmigrate a soul it seems very likely to me that he can affect that souls ability to access the OP.

I disagree that stilling/burning out are the only reasonable options for the Warder bond to have moved to Myrelle.

I don't think Moiraine was stilled. - 01/12/2009 11:19:03 PM 1144 Views
what about Lan's bond - 01/12/2009 11:23:35 PM 1109 Views
I think that the doorway melting did that. - 02/12/2009 12:49:02 AM 1185 Views

Not sure, but it seemed like she planned for it. At one point - 02/12/2009 01:23:36 AM 1037 Views

I think that since Moiraine was in another dimension, the Bond passed to the closest holder. - 01/12/2009 11:43:15 PM 1120 Views
but she'd been there before - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 1178 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 1156 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 640 Views
that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM 1188 Views

BS not committing to the Cyndane = Lanfear scenario has me wondering as well - 02/12/2009 02:51:30 AM 1329 Views
The only possibility is "something weird" if Cyndane ISN'T just "Lanfear" - 02/12/2009 05:26:23 AM 1076 Views

Maybe they put some of Ilyena in Cyndane. - 04/12/2009 06:52:01 PM 1139 Views
LOL ... Lanfear doesn't need Ilyena to be an LTT stalker! - 04/12/2009 07:09:02 PM 1102 Views
Right, But Ilyena Doesn't Need Lanfear for That Either. - 04/12/2009 07:17:29 PM 1098 Views
I'm 99.99% sure RJ said that the DO had to grab a soul quickly after death or it was lost - 04/12/2009 09:13:18 PM 960 Views
