I doubt we'll ever really know darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 10:26:43 PM
Siuan and Leane had only been oathbound for ~20 years when they were stilled. Which means they aged 4 years (20/5) during that time. If the 2X rate reverted to 1X after they were stilled, then they would have only aged 2 years during that time, instead of 4. So, we're only talking about a visible age different of 2 years - two small, I think, to know whether the 2X affect was reversed or not.


Siuan was about 22 when she took the Oaths and now appears to be "little more than a girl" ... It's feasible that she looks about 24 now rather than being mid-40s. Leane was only a few years older and now seems to look about the same age as Siuan does.

If those 3 AS have been AS significantly longer than 20 years, their visibile appearance now would give us a better idea on this issue than Siuan and Leane.


Agreed, but odds are we'll not see them again ... there doesn't seem to be much going on in Cairhien nowadays. ToM seems likely to take place in Caemlyn, Ghealdan (or wherever Perrin may end up) and the Tower of Ghenji

Agreed, otherwise they wouldn't have designed the Binder so that the oaths could be removed. Why design it so the oaths could be removed, if the lifespan affect couldn't also be reversed?


Seems like the only reason they would make it reversible to me is to have short term sentencing as well as life sentences. Semirhage's activities were such that she was certain to have a life sentence thus her comment about shortened life.

Mesaana and defeating the Oath Rod Shishka - 18/01/2010 04:50:29 PM 2640 Views

It didn't when Romanda retook her Oaths in TGS darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 07:13:20 PM 845 Views
Hmmm ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 07:24:51 PM 1009 Views
No she unswore them and retook them darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 07:33:30 PM 1059 Views

The point I was trying to make was ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 08:05:16 PM 823 Views
Now I get it ... seems needlessly complex for the Oath Rod though darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:21:35 PM 818 Views
Yes, this is what I was thinking *NM* PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 08:29:20 PM 405 Views
What you suggested is pretty much what I've always thought ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 08:39:30 PM 833 Views
yup darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:02:04 PM 722 Views
I'm with you, though ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 09:27:59 PM 991 Views
The closest evidence we have is a Stilled/Burned out woman darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:49:41 PM 832 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 411 Views
Sure it is darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 10:02:09 PM 867 Views

see above *NM* darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:23:28 PM 433 Views
I think it more like aging them faster... PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 08:24:56 PM 922 Views
and given how things in the AoL works this seems far more likely darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:32:52 PM 888 Views

The Dark Ones Mark possibly could black the oath rod? *NM* Kieran - 20/01/2010 01:28:08 AM 409 Views
No, that can't be it, because when AS become Black Ajah ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 02:53:21 PM 802 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 378 Views
Good point. I sort of misinterpreted what Kieran was suggesting. *NM* Shishka - 20/01/2010 07:19:02 PM 397 Views
Re: Good point. I sort of misinterpreted what Kieran was suggesting. Kieran - 22/01/2010 01:52:51 AM 978 Views
actually it's different darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 07:32:18 AM 922 Views
actually I think it's the same... Kieran - 23/01/2010 01:49:19 AM 613 Views
Nup. Unlike the FS, her mark will not allow her to order Darkspawn (plus more). *NM* Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:50:36 AM 414 Views
Which has nothing to do with my post regarding the Oath rod... *NM* Kieran - 24/01/2010 10:44:59 PM 403 Views
One point... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 06:12:26 PM 1004 Views
Good point ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 06:21:22 PM 794 Views

Re: Mesaana and defeating the Oath Rod randfandom - 18/01/2010 09:43:34 PM 962 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 793 Views
Right, and also ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 10:17:11 PM 817 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 724 Views
IMHO... Great Lord of Chaos - 19/01/2010 03:41:10 AM 1008 Views
Another interesting possibility Skeeve the Great - 19/01/2010 05:08:42 PM 813 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 347 Views
We've seen pretty weird stuff happens before Skeeve the Great - 19/01/2010 06:30:12 PM 884 Views

I agree, it seems as if Moghedien just effectively transmigrated Birgitte darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 10:00:45 PM 923 Views

Wow, that's great. I wonder what else can be created there, like sa'angeals, etc. BlackAdder - 20/01/2010 03:54:01 AM 751 Views
