Why is she stuck there? (Spoiler sort of)

[Iris 0]

Okay, this is a topic I've been wanting to bring up. Why do you guys think Moiraine is trapped in the T of G? I mean she's a very powerful Aes Sedai and she usually manages to get herself out of just about every scrape, so why do you think ends up getting imprisoned there? Any ideas for how this scenario most likely occurred?

Consider that she is being held prisoner by the creatures that gave Mat his foxy ter'angreal, its not much of a stretch to say that they have ways to negate the one power.

 

And wasn't both Rand and Mat pretty easily manhandled and thrown out like bums after they met the snakes and the foxes when they went through the doorway in Tear?

 

The Finns are a force to be reckoned with, maybe primarily because they seem to have their own pocket dimension. It is hinted that their weakness is that they must adhere to a set list of rules, while those who would oppose them can "cheat".

Yeah. Rand was only allowed to walk out rather than be thrown like Mat because he had a sword of fire, and they're weak against fire (CATCH A WATER POKEMON, MOIRAINE! It's super-effective!) They also don't like iron, instruments of music *coughThom'sHarpcough*, or devices for making light *coughAludra'sFirestickscough*.

 

You know what I want to see in AMoL? The Finns vs. some gholams! I'd buy seats.
