She is the only one who sees her lover in Rand first, unlike Elaine and Avienda, or even Egwene, who first see an emperor, the Car'a'carn and a channeler, despite their affection and friendship with him.<br />Min has been a buffer also by being in miraculous places, holding legendary objects (the Crown of swords and the Callandor in her lap), without thinking of glory or showing greed or selfishness. I think that she will become a legendary philosopher, if she writes a book. That makes her one of my favourite characters and possibly my favourite lover of Rand's.PlatinumDreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220570946779793224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-75158622499275316982012-08-08T06:13:55.618-04:002012-08-08T06:13:55.618-04:00Thank you Manetheren, that is a nice expansion on ...Thank you Manetheren, that is a nice expansion on what I was trying to say.<br /><br />I'm really busy at the moment with my real world job, getting ready for DragonCon and with WOT, so my posts and replies will be quite delayed for the next couple of weeks I expect.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-27496336313488896162012-08-07T16:45:21.265-04:002012-08-07T16:45:21.265-04:00Sounds like Linda is referring to proximity. True...Sounds like Linda is referring to proximity. True,all the incidents were all a distance from each other, but when looking at the entire world or Rand's continent as a whole they are actually quite close in relation to the grand scheme of the pattern. <br /><br />Poke a hole in a sheet, breaking a few threads, the surrounding threads and fabric strength can hold and compensate. Poke 3 or 4 holes in close approximation and the whole area weakens creating instability in a localized area that can easily develop a larger hole in the sheet.Manetherenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136085597386765947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-14435616152262980382012-08-07T10:37:08.393-04:002012-08-07T10:37:08.393-04:00In addition to the above persons objections on dis...In addition to the above persons objections on distance:<br />Rand didnt kill Semirhage and torture Min in Bandar Eban, they were still in the manor house in far eastern Arad Doman.Björnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-55666491666169605462012-08-07T09:59:26.532-04:002012-08-07T09:59:26.532-04:00Love your work Linda.

It's like Schrödinger's cat, it's both rotten and hale at the same time. The presence and state of Rand alters chance at the moment the sacks are opened.<br /><br />Also, I don't believe that the distance of Natrin's Barrow to Bandar Eban has anything to do with well.. anything. The only thing that matters is the presence of Rand. Just like the pattern is thinner at Shayol Ghul (and starting to get thinner everywhere) the pattern is thicker where Rand is now he's come into the light again.Svennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-68085251825425261572012-08-06T23:52:40.674-04:002012-08-06T23:52:40.674-04:00Very nice post.
