I wonder if Whitebridge is made of spinglass. Does anyone have an answer?
I always took ‘spinglass’ to be a WoT way of saying ‘spun glass’. Very fragile. Also…
‘The man opened his mouth to protest as citizens always did; they seemed to think Aiel were made of spinglass’.
Obviously fragile is what he’s getting at. Now, if you could do it like cuendillar …that’s different.
Per Moghedien I get the impression there are many forms of cuendillar . Maybe iron is easiest.
That’s a good point—I missed the spinglass = fragile reference. As for cuendillar … perhaps.
There is an argument in the same vein towards Callandor being cuendillar .
Well, people argued Callandor=cuendillar because it stopped balefire. But if Perrin can do it… :)
There was also Osan’gar’s comment during the cleansing that though the Choedan Kal would be destroyed…
… he’d still have Callandor . Of course he could have meant to balefire Rand and attack Narishma. Still, weird.
Callandor is the most powerful sa’angreal without the Choedan Kal. He might just be noting the fact.
It’s the expectation that he would have Callandor after he balefired the hill which is significant.
He didn’t say he was going to balefire the whole hill. Elza got his hill, though. ;)
Strongest Rand could manage with fat man was man-thick. He could sweep it, but it’s not necessary.
I did make that point, but it’s weird, risking Narishma’s response to the attack.
Rand was distracted, why not kill Narishma first, then Rand. Also Osan’gar links the balefire to…
… Rand’s death—”But still, he could take Callandor after al’Thor was dead.”—as if it’s a result.
I read it as him seeing Rand as the only real threat.
Which is weird, in itself. Callandor circle responding to reversed webs—a scary, and impossible thing for someone from the Age of Legends.
True, but he might have figured out the ter’angreal thing like Demandred, and he was at point blank range (for balefire).
So if the cuendillar Egwene makes is white, why are the seals half black? Saidin -made? Different type of cuendillar ?
re: black/white, I always figured this was why Elayne couldn’t get the colors right with the stone ring (no man).
@WoTLuckers @Lironah @Terez27 Now that’s an interesting conversation. Re: cuendillar .
lol, now I get to catalog the whole conversation because Brandon said it was interesting.
