Re: Silly Verin! She did not need to die. Gerbeaud Send a noteboard - 09/12/2009 08:44:31 PM

1. A visit with Verin. That scene was perfect... the shock on Egwene, the fact that you were still guessing until Verin connected all the dots for you, and the way she died. It brought to mind Socrates taking his own poison knowing it was for the greater good. Verin gets mad props from Phelix.

So, would any of you like to share your favorites and dislikes?


I wonder why Verin had to die. I mean could she not just have drank the poison and told all this while she was with Rand. Rand could then have had Nynaeve to heal her afterwards.

Or better yet, have someone still her. That would free her of all oaths. Then she could have had Flinn heal her and presto, oath free Black Ajah with a bonus of extra lifespan.

I agree. How did the Black Ajah hunters get around this issue with Talene?

Even if she really wanted to die out of guilt or something, why not just overchannel enough power to burn herself out. She could then have had many hours or days to describe plans of the Shadow in detail and answer questions. And only THEN commit suicide.

I don't think the sisters Rand stilled and who were healed tried to hide the fact that they were released from the oaths so Verin should have known of this loophole.

This felt a bit like a cheap way to boost Egwene at Verin's expense. Unless ofcourse Verin faked her death. That would be great. :)

I finished tGS last night... and really had to come back to you all. Phelix - 09/12/2009 02:11:05 AM 1633 Views
You bring up some good points BlackAdder - 09/12/2009 03:20:37 AM 1125 Views
What if Verin really WAS Black? Lord Haart - 09/12/2009 03:32:07 PM 933 Views
Pretty much agree with you. Great Lord of Chaos - 09/12/2009 03:21:08 AM 898 Views

And does she know that Stilling breaks the Oaths? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2009 06:16:54 AM 425 Views
She should. Some of the Aes Sedai who swore to Rand had been Stilled and then Restored by Flinn. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/12/2009 03:18:10 PM 866 Views
Then, wouldn't the BA/Shadow just kill her off? I think it'd be kind of obvious what she did. *NM* Fox and Ravens - 09/12/2009 03:23:05 PM 572 Views
I think that's beyond the BA's capabilities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/12/2009 03:48:03 PM 753 Views
Doesn't mean they experimented with it. Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2009 08:48:23 PM 802 Views
Rebels had no reason to research a way to break the oaths. Verin did. Datakim - 10/12/2009 02:00:21 AM 838 Views
You're going at it upside-down. Fanatic-Templar - 10/12/2009 02:33:41 AM 813 Views
Verin should have figured it out Datakim - 10/12/2009 03:03:14 AM 795 Views
