When Moiraine is rescued she remarked concerning the Angreal that she demanded as part of the bargain. When Mat, Thom, and Moiraine escaped the Tower of Ghenji, Moiraine commented that with the angreal she would be strong even stronger that she previously was which was at that time considering Cadsuane that Siuan, Moiraine, Lelaine, and Romanda, stood at the 2nd the highest at the 13.1 level. I’m just curious about how much the angreal increased Moiraine’ s channeling ability from her original level. Also, it is obvious that she had no problems channeling for a prolonged time as she was in pit with Rand and Nyneave. After words her actions to get Nyneave out she exhibited no tired from channeling. What do you guys think?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Also, Nyneave had her belt on that was a Well, so, that implies that she didn’t need the saidar she was channeling in circle with Rand, and Moiraine. I know Rand mentioned channeling was dangerous however, she would just be using a storehouse of Saidar also, I think Rand was mentioning the True Power. I think the Circle protected them from harm. However, I don’t understand why she didn’t tap into her Well to Heal Alanna. Any comments on this point?lpippinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246882503025700477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-83102093209440715482011-02-18T01:19:17.653-05:002011-02-18T01:19:17.653-05:00Realized that Moraine makes a parallel with Brunhl...Realized that Moraine makes a parallel with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brynhildr" rel="nofollow">Brunhlida</a>.

I pretty much see this too. This has been one of the most momentous events, at least for me, since Rand and Nynaeve cleaned Saidin. <br /><br />Steel Blaidd has said it well with--<br /><br /><i>"It also probably ought to be brought out that Persephone's epithet "Kore" means "Young Maiden," which explains her youthful appearance and makes one wonder where the other two aspects of the Triune Goddess are hiding. Satelle Anan seems best fit for the Mother Role but I can't decide if Aludra or Moraine will fit that role better."</i><br /><br />I simply cannot wait for "Memory of Light" to be released. Cheers!

In this case it will be Moiraine from the aelfinn lands. The folklores usually ends in two manner the woman will ask the man to lead her out but warn him not to look back at her. <br />1. The man looks back and saw the woman hideous form and ran away, leaving the woman cursing the man from the underworld.<br />2. The man holds to the promise and does not look back. The woman woman slowly reforms back into a beauty as she travels back from the underworld.

If you want to know what'...:D Don't worry!<br /><br />If you want to know what's written or in progress and not yet published, the Main index page will show you: those are the titles which have no hyperlinks yet.<br /><br />As for the pace of re-publishing: it's set by what else is being posted. We aim to make some sort of post most days, but no more than one, unless there is major WOT news. I could put them all up rapidly: but then there would be so many that most would be overlooked. Considering the amount of work they represent, I don't want <i>any</i> to be lost in the crowd, as it were. I'm publishing at a steady pace of one or two a week - sometimes more - depending on what else is being posted - announcements, read-through posts, Dom's maps, etc. <br /><br />Before the TGS releases, we got through the first 6 books in the read-through. We had intended to get through them all, but weren't counting on the Prologue being released early. Right now, it seems best to concentrate on TGS, and articles which are likely to be directly useful to TGS, rather than background info (however interesting). After TGS and the necessary updating, we'll get back to read through the other 6 books before Towers of Midnight.<br /><br />I really liked how Tuon turned out, but she'll be held over until after TGS. Faile and Berelain are currently being researched alongside Perrin. Then I'll turn to maybe another Forsaken, since I haven't done one in a while, or maybe Egwene, Elayne, Nynaeve or Aviendha. That's months away though! <br /><br />I'm glad you think highly of the heroines, they have not previously been studied in their own right as far as I am aware.<br /><br />Tuon has many parallels which have nothing to do with Mat, hardly surprising when you think of her responsibilities, and the likelihood that they will spend quite a bit of the next two books apart.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-14769113320670695032009-09-20T23:11:16.464-04:002009-09-20T23:11:16.464-04:00My eyes are lowered that I should give cause to be...My eyes are lowered that I should give cause to believe that Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag, or any of the heroines, is not deserving of her own entry (In fact I was puzzled that there was not one already).<br /><br />In the interest of lightening your burden in that regard I offer my services as an editor and research assistant.SteelBlaiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233479838726084794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-78799284877879292912009-09-20T17:19:43.096-04:002009-09-20T17:19:43.096-04:00Kore is discussed very fully in the Tuon Character...Kore is discussed very fully in the Tuon Character Parallels essay, which I wrote the same time I wrote the one on Mat, but won't publish until we discuss Winter's Heart next year. I refer to her essay frequently in the Mat essay and am not adding any more to Mat especially stuff discussed more properly elsewhere; it's long enough as it is! The female characters are not mere adjuncts of the male characters and I wish to write separate essays for all the main women characters. I'm working on Perrin, Faile and Berelain right now - when TGS preparations give me the time.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-44478375159126229242009-09-20T12:21:02.224-04:002009-09-20T12:21:02.224-04:00I meant:

Plutus, as bearer of the Cornicopia, seems more a God of Agricultural Wealth. <br /><br />It allso probably ought to be brought out that Persiphone's epithet "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persephone" rel="nofollow">Kore</a>" means "Young Maiden," which explains her youthful appearance and makes one wonder where the other two aspects of the Triune Goddess are hiding.
