Without the Tower Voscaia Sedai Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 02:05:09 PM
- Most weaves would have been forgotten in the Westlands
- Nobody would be able to teach the girls with the spark, leaving most (if not all of them) with some kind of Block like Nynaeve had before Ebou Dar or even dead or burnt out
- Nobody would be able to teach those without the spark reducing the number of Channelers by 80% or so
- plus everything Salty already mentioned

Of course you could say there's the Aiel and Windfinders, but they're not interested in the Westlands. And don't say "There's the Kin", as this group would not exist either without the Tower!
Am I evil? Yes I am!

You know... it feels like the Aes Sedai are pretty superflouous beetnemesis - 02/09/2009 09:48:19 PM 1284 Views
Y'know, the paralells betwen the Aes Sedai in the White Tower... vandevere - 02/09/2009 10:46:29 PM 862 Views
Well said. Hadn't really thought of it that way before *NM* Bryce - 03/09/2009 12:01:30 AM 521 Views
That is the inspiration for the Aes Sedai that RJ used - I can't find the article, though. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 02:39:14 PM 815 Views
When I was reading this I was thinking of the paralells between the white tower and Tashmere - 03/09/2009 02:47:33 AM 1087 Views
And yet the WT has been THE single greatest force for continuity and civilization. NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 03:37:14 AM 883 Views

Really? fionwe1987 - 03/09/2009 05:52:38 AM 818 Views
Re: Really? Corwin - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM 775 Views
So lets add a few more NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 11:42:48 AM 781 Views
most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 839 Views
Just because we don't know all their names, doesn't mean their effectiveness on the Pattern was less RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 03:19:41 PM 835 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 682 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 707 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 721 Views
Actually I think that's his point ranagrande - 04/09/2009 01:40:37 PM 814 Views

Only one point because obviously your mind is made up. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 06:13:23 AM 786 Views
well, yeah ranagrande - 05/09/2009 02:33:51 PM 805 Views
In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 03:03:07 PM 709 Views
Re: In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 04:57:44 PM 707 Views
No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 669 Views
I'm glad the real world disagrees with you NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 05:05:50 PM 707 Views
I'm not convinced that it does ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:44:10 PM 809 Views

I was talking about the WT specifically, and only during recent years. It's Gotta be the Shadow, beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:39:11 PM 711 Views
So what you are really saying is that if you ignore over 2/3rds of the AS the rest aren't doing much NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 06:07:23 PM 652 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 731 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 683 Views
You just made our point... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 12:49:44 AM 741 Views
Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM 642 Views
Not at all... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 09:23:09 PM 764 Views
WT has been THE single greatest force for stagancy and lack of development. Lohikaarme - 09/09/2009 08:58:58 AM 676 Views
Like I said earlier the AS are superfluous except the ones who aren't superfluous. NaClH2O - 09/09/2009 11:55:47 AM 781 Views
To a certain extent ajsr1982 - 03/09/2009 11:33:30 AM 953 Views
Definitely. And Egwene is in denial. beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:53:14 PM 734 Views
Some pretty big blanket statements NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:24:50 PM 853 Views

Actually, I think Verin is a good metaphor here. nossy - 03/09/2009 07:59:46 PM 681 Views
Agrees with Nossy NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:44:06 PM 983 Views
That's mostly what I was trying to say beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:03:52 PM 661 Views
