They didn't have Ajahs back in the Age of Legends. The whole Aes Sedai setup was different. Nowadays, being an Aes Sedai is a job, but back then it was more of a guild/club thing: They had actual careers.

 

:P I had no idea! I so need to read WoT again!

You gusy seem to reread WoT a lot. Who's read it the most?
I started reading the series when only the first four books were released. When book 5 was released, I re-read the previous 4. Since then, I've lost count of the times I've re-read them.......

I never knew...

 

It would be better to read the big white book, since that goes into more detail.

 

What's this big white book?

 

I was searching for something when I came across stuff about Robert Jordan, where then I found a PDF of The Strike at Shayol Ghul. :razz:

 

I read in an earlier post someone mentioned a possible prequel of Tam Al'thor, any chance this will ever be made? That would be interesting, I've always wondered about his earlier days.

 

 

"Speculation of the wilder sort if rife among some who call themselves historians, and the discovery of this material has resulted in expected from the usual quarters. Would the great sa'angreal have proven effective used as Patra Posae desired? Had the seals been placed by a circle comprised of men and women together, might th men, or even saidin itself, have been protected in some fashion from the Dark One's counter stroke? Or would saidar have been tainted as well? The last possibility is enough to curdle the coldest blood, yet the fact is that events transpired as they transpired, and such speculation is no more than a fireside game to frighten the gullible. Those I speak of will know who I mean." (The Strike at Shayol Ghul).

 

That was one of the comments made by the person who documented(?) that information.

What do you all think, think Saidar could have been tainted? I don't think so. Though maybe Saidin could have been spared if they had a circle of women with them.

 

Since you all know far more than I ^^, why is it, that Men cannot link by themselves?

 

Another question for thought, I re-read the ending of LoC, where Moghedien is being broken out of the camp, by a person calling herself Aran'gar, ("Halima" has Moghedien remembers, secretary of a sitter). This person is suppose to be a woman but can channel Saidin. I'm assuming it's someone actually posing as a woman, but is actually a man?

 

Anyways that just lead me to thought of...you know how there's a few people in the world who, are genetically a woman, but have male things. Or vis versa. Or they have the appearance of the opposite sex. And such. Could it be possible that how with these instances it's some genetic (or physical) issue, that perhaps whatever enables a woman or a man to channel, a woman/man could have some genetic mutation that allows them to channel the opposite of what there sex is suppose to?

The World of Wheel of time a.k.a the big white book is a reference book for WOT and all the different aspects involved - the people, the land, the calender, the currencies, etc.

 

Why is it, that Men cannot link by themselves?

I've always wanted the answer to this one as well ..... but I figured that's the way it is for the male channelers to bond and this has nothing to do with the taint.

Its been a long while since I read the books, so I don't remember how many clues have been given about the identity of "Aran'gar" by the end of LOC, but its definitely not what you are thinking Ash .... its another one of RJs creative caveats ... all I will say at this point is read on :razz:

 

I've always wanted to know how the Tua'th'an thread will end .... will they ever find the song ? What (if any) will be its use ? Also does the very presence of the Tua'th'an in this age give us any indications about the coming ages ?
