I'm not sure I follow darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 07:41:19 PM
Romanda unswore the oaths and then reswore them, right? So, there's no reason to think that the effect on her lifespan/age would be any different, in the 2 cases. Since she was still alive before she unswore, she should still be alive after she reswore, with the same remaining lifespan in both cases.

So, I'm not sure that tells us anything about what might (or might not) happen to Mesaana.


The point is we've seen that a 300 year old woman can take the Oaths without them killing her on the spot. We don't know how this will affect Romanda's lifespan overall though

It didn't when Romanda retook her Oaths in TGS darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 07:13:20 PM 908 Views
Hmmm ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 07:24:51 PM 1083 Views
No she unswore them and retook them darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 07:33:30 PM 1128 Views
Yeah, I realized that after I posted, so I editted my post (again) ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 07:36:39 PM 1093 Views

The point I was trying to make was ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 08:05:16 PM 904 Views
Now I get it ... seems needlessly complex for the Oath Rod though darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:21:35 PM 898 Views
Yes, this is what I was thinking *NM* PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 08:29:20 PM 437 Views
What you suggested is pretty much what I've always thought ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 08:39:30 PM 906 Views
yup darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:02:04 PM 786 Views
I'm with you, though ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 09:27:59 PM 1065 Views
The closest evidence we have is a Stilled/Burned out woman darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:49:41 PM 916 Views
But if being unbound reverts you to your normal lifespan, then being bound isn't really a punishment *NM* PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 09:52:29 PM 439 Views

see above *NM* darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:23:28 PM 467 Views
I think it more like aging them faster... PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 08:24:56 PM 997 Views
and given how things in the AoL works this seems far more likely darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:32:52 PM 946 Views

The Dark Ones Mark possibly could black the oath rod? *NM* Kieran - 20/01/2010 01:28:08 AM 451 Views
No, that can't be it, because when AS become Black Ajah ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 02:53:21 PM 869 Views
But Alviarin's mark is different. Perhaps the mark of a FS is too *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 04:21:16 PM 413 Views
Good point. I sort of misinterpreted what Kieran was suggesting. *NM* Shishka - 20/01/2010 07:19:02 PM 428 Views

actually I think it's the same... Kieran - 23/01/2010 01:49:19 AM 683 Views

Re: Mesaana and defeating the Oath Rod randfandom - 18/01/2010 09:43:34 PM 1033 Views
I'm thinking the point of the thread is to discuss how to beat the Oath Rod, not Mesaana's disguise darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:59:18 PM 861 Views
Right, and also ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 10:17:11 PM 883 Views
Except that the best way to 'defeat' the Oath rod is - not to take the Oaths at all Lord Haart - 19/01/2010 03:18:43 AM 783 Views
IMHO... Great Lord of Chaos - 19/01/2010 03:41:10 AM 1079 Views
Another interesting possibility Skeeve the Great - 19/01/2010 05:08:42 PM 876 Views
I'd say it was highly unlikely that the Binder/Oath Rod works that way. *NM* Shishka - 19/01/2010 06:06:49 PM 376 Views
We've seen pretty weird stuff happens before Skeeve the Great - 19/01/2010 06:30:12 PM 964 Views
