Maybe RJ was prophetic :)<br /><br />I still think RJ invested too much detail in her to have her just fade into the background.<br /><br />LandroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-38654669720499291482010-08-03T05:42:27.141-04:002010-08-03T05:42:27.141-04:00Thanks for the comments all.
Terez: LOL
Regardi...Thanks for the comments all. <br /><br />Terez: LOL<br /><br />Regarding the name Annan: Kofi Annan gained his position three years after LOC was published. So I think that wasn't what RJ was referring to.<br /><br />THere isn't an Anann in arthurian myth, but Anann is "the personal name" of the Morrigan. Which I would not have found if you hadn't suggested the Arthur/ SO thanks Val. I'll add it to the article.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-21730977841752652582010-08-02T13:25:52.379-04:002010-08-02T13:25:52.379-04:00Isn't there an Anann in Arthurian myth?Isn't there an Anann in Arthurian myth?Val Mickeyhttp://dragonmount forumsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-2759343456496218442010-08-02T08:22:35.647-04:002010-08-02T08:22:35.647-04:00Thanks for another update but I disagree with you ...Thanks for another update but I disagree with you about Setalle Anan.<br /><br />She and Tuon get along quite well. Tuon can learn to channel, Setalle could but was burned out.<br /><br />When she asked Mat about his Amulet, he let her inspect it and imediately figured out she used to be AS. If Setalle ever learns that she can be healed, she won't refuse.<br /><br />Aside from being a link between Tuon and the mainland and Tuon and free channelers, she could also be a link between the Kin and the AS. She is one of the few channelers (aside from the WO) who experienced real life; life with a husband and a family as opposed to living isolated from society. This is something both Kin and AS have lost. Neither group has a real connection with regular society and I think Setalle can be vital in putting AS (and Kin) back among society; as a part of society.<br /><br />Anan is likely also intended as a reference to Kofi Annan, a former Secretary-General of the United Nations. A position in which he mediated between many different cultures and nations.<br /><br />LandroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-54797806404675874012010-08-02T07:49:34.613-04:002010-08-02T07:49:34.613-04:00psssh, Siuan was in love with Moiraine first! :p ...psssh, Siuan was in love with Moiraine first! :p Duty drove them apart...Terezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417142245785029171noreply@blogger.com
