Based on the way Sanderson wrote it, I could see someone arguing for either a thrust or a slash. Personally, I always envisioned a thrust, but there isn't enough information in the text to say conclusively. Regardless, Lan definitely didn't stab Demandred in the heart.

@ninnusridhar 2 года назад

One of my most favourite little things is that in AMOL Lews therin basically informs us that even if the dark one hadnt been released and the war against the dark not started, their society was on such a precipice that it would've broken down by itself and gone to civil war. Which makes sense for the pattern. Events need to occur. And the wheel weaves as the wheel wills

Jealousy is a very powerful motivational force

@alanbland1976 Год назад

Jealousy is a fine motivator. But having 13 heavy hitting antagonists of which only a couple really stand out is just unnecessary clutter. Besides which, they went from playing second fiddle to the dragon to playing second fiddle to Ishamael. The whole 'I became evil to be the strongest!' thing doesn't work very well when they still had no real chance of becoming the strongest.

Keep up the great work, this video was great. 👍

@selitful 2 года назад

Not sure that's true; after Mat rescues Moiraine, we learn that the foxes also fed on Lanfear's power and Moiraine's own power. The foxes even give Moiraine a bracelet angreal which allows for her to draw more power, so that they can have more power to feed on. After Moiraine is saved, she could barely channel a flicker without that bracelet angreal. We also learn on multiple occasions that Cyndane (Lanfear reborn) is weaker than she was before being trapped in the foxes' world. I think there's also a specific mention that the aes sedai (or channelers in general) are their favorite food, cause they feed twice from the same person (both emotions and one power).

@LoneTiger 2 года назад

@@selitful Moirane mentions that they enjoy her "despair" at losing her power (emotion) or ability to channel, remember, the ability to channel is a thing from the soul, not a body, so the snakes/foxes can tap and feed into one's soul to feed, in this case that particular ability or skill. So, looking at it this way, they are feeding upon a skill rather than the power itself.

@brunoperugini6299 9 месяцев назад

@LoneTiger correction to that. They do feed on the power yes, and with the person losing access to the power and becoming desperate, they also feed in those emotions of truly despair, so feeding twice from those channallers, making them theirs favorite food.

Love the video, the lore in the books is so good. Id like to see you do videos on some of the fan theories we have out there In the war of power not all channelers where forsaken/chosen. most where dread lords, the forsaken/chosen where pick by the dark one to lead his army's. They also never really worked together, they fought against each other just as hard as they fought the light. No one was nabis until the end of the books in the 3rd age. The fact that the dark one encourages them to fight is one of many reasons the dragon realize that the dark one could never really win, he doesn't have the ability to learn and change.

@CivilizationEx 2 года назад

In the age of Legends, all channelers were forsaken, not dreadlords. Dreadlords were created in the third age during the trolloc wars. Robert Jordan explained it in an interview. And some of the Forsaken did work together, mostly they competed, but some had alliances and agreements between them.

The Dark One is trapped by seals that she has absolutely no chance of breaking and the good guys(they don’t have a named faction) are probably going to hunt for the Forsaken, as they don’t know which survived, so she’s probably screwed. Does her immortality even work anymore, with the Dark One sealed fully? If not, then she’s doubly screwed

@phillipsommer983 4 месяца назад

She'll do whatever she wants. No one is looking for her and the dark one can no longer touch her. She's free. That was one of her major motivations in the series, and in that one thing, she was successful. Beyond that you can use your imagination. If, in your opinion, she's screwed, so be it.

Games -The Wheel of Time Roleplaying Game Written by other authors but approved by Robert Jordan. -The Wheel of Time PC Game Takes place in an alternate reality accessed through Portal Stones, so while it is not canon to the world we know it can be considered canon to the larger universe. Short Story -River of Souls Written by Brandon Sanderson but cut from A Memory of Light before their Continuity Editors could approve. The Following is considered Tertiary Canon and will not be used for information unless absolutely necessary. -The Wheel of Time Collectable Card Game TV Canon The Amazon Prime TV Show will not be considered canon to this universe, however videos may be made specifically for TV Show canon.

Asmodean was never reincarnated - his link to the Dark One was severed by Rand during their fight in Rhuidean and so either the Dark One didn’t notice or didn’t care to reincarnate him (or potentially Graendal used balefire). Graendal was never mentioned to be Turned and we would’ve noticed since those who are Turned “lose something”. From reading AMoL, it seems like the primary thing they lose is initiative, which Graendal certainly has, so I think her being Turned is unlikely

Some of their deaths and prisonments were hilarious but satisfying.

@naturetruthseeker8377 7 месяцев назад

Hi have a basic question. Will Ishmael be resurrected after culmination of book 14, as only body swap happened and not balefired. What does it mean when Ishmael says we have battled countless times through ages and with respect to bore itself was opened only during Lews Therin times? After the Bore is sealed at Shayol Gul or before Bore is opened by Lanfear, did dark one never had any influence on the pattern or anyone within it. If he doesnt, how did Ishamael and Lews Therin fight countless battles?

@CivilizationEx 7 месяцев назад

Hey, thanks for the questions I'll do my best to answer. So in the Wheel of Time universe, time is cyclical, meaning that the world restarts in a new Age with every turning of the wheel. Everything that happens to Lews Therin and Ishamael, from the opening of the bore to the final battle, occurs within one full turn of the wheel. So even though Rand won the final battle and peace was restored, it's only temporary. Eventually the wheel will turn and the world will restart, and everything will happen again. The bore will somehow be opened, the Dark One will influence the world, a new hero will rise and the final battle will be fought again. This pattern repeats itself forever and will never end. Thus the famous quote: there are neither beginnings nor endings to the wheel of time. The entire 14 book series is just about one specific age, but that Age is not special and all the events we witnessed will occur again in a different way during the next Age. Lastly, the reason Ishamael claimed they fought many times is because he believes himself and Lewis Therin are special. Their souls are the chosen champions of the Dark One and Creator, so they are reborn every Age in new bodies to once again fight a final battle to decide who wins for the Age, even though it's only temporary and they will fight again during the next turning of the Wheel. :)

Where is it confirmed that Graendal kills Asmodean? I've never been able to figure that one out!

@CivilizationEx 2 года назад

It is implied when the Myddraal Shaidar Haran accuses Graendal of being responsible for the deaths of 3 chosen, Mesanna, Asmodean and Aran'gar. It is then confirmed in the glossary of Tower of Midnight and the WoT companion book.

The one power is magic available to everyone and was divided into Saidin and Saidar. The true power is magic directly from the Dark One and is only available to the Forsaken and his followers.

@Kylora2112 2 года назад

Yeah, or at least more like Aginor (mad scientist) and Semirhage (just...evil) and less "Lews is just too awesome, I must turn to evil in jealousy." The Forsaken's motives are probably the weakest plot elements.

@Delheru 2 года назад

Some of them posed as hedonists. Lanfear went over out of sheer pride (after having fucked up do badly). Ishamael went over ideologically. Demandred, Be'lal, and Sammael were the only ones who went over for envy, and neither seem really hedonistic at all. Bunch did fucked up stuff that really got them in trouble that made staying with the light problematic (Mesaana, Aginor). I am not sure what other realistic causes besides - frankly - severe personality flaws could people have to actually join the dark one. The Forsaken would naturally be stacked with the deadly sins except sloth (because it's a competitive position).

@self-righteousideologue9398 2 года назад

I'm not a big fan of the books, but I love the lore of WoT. The books have too much plot armor, IMO, and the plots are pretty repetitive. I've actually stopped reading them like four times now, but now I'm finally forcing myself to read them all. I'm on book 4 at the moment. I just really don't like stories where all the main characters are safe, and that's the feeling I get with WoT and why I keep quitting the series. But like I said, the lore is absolutely fascinating, and I wish they did an animate show to really get into the lore. Kind of like Star Wars the Clone Wars. We got a regular show, but I think doing a darker, animated one would have been better.

Since I don't make Wheel of Time vids very often I had to relearn everything relatively quickly before making these vids.

So in summary, the destruction of the world came about not because of men, but because the women refused to do what needed to be done, causing much suffering for many more years and the eventual madness of all male sorcerers

@CivilizationEx 8 месяцев назад

Although the women were morally wrong in what they did, it actually ended up being a good thing by accident. At the time there was nothing that would have worked because they didn't fully understand the problem. If the women had gone both the men and women would have gone crazy. So the women not going ended up being a good thing even though they did it for bad reasons.
