No the Amyrlin did not change five times in seven years. I didn’t catch the error before the book was published, though the correct sequence is there in my master chronology. The line in The Great Hunt should have read that “four of the last five” were from the Blue. The correct sequence is: Kirin Nelway (Brown) 922-950 NE; Noane Mosadim (Blue) 950-973 NE; Tamra Ospenya (Blue), 973-979 NE; Sierin Vayu (Gray), 979-984 NE; Marith Jaen (Blue), 984-988 NE; Siuan Sanche (blue), raised 998 NE. The correction is being made in the body of The Great Hunt and in the glossary.
That is the problem with doing books this large; sometimes even with all best efforts, something slips through when I think it has been made right. So there haven’t been any lies [in answer to “does the Glossary lie?”]. Not even the “distance and location.” You should have heard the howl I let out when that glossary entry was pointed out to me. “No! No, I changed that before the bloody book was published !” I have been working from the start that the Warder bond could be used as a sort of direction finder by both. Either can sense the direction of the other, though it gets more vague with distance, until with long distance the most you have is a general impression of, for example, “somewhere sort of to the west.” Not distance, unless they are pretty close, except by using experience, figuring how far you’ve gone and how much stronger the feeling is. How do you think Moiraine and Lan never had any worries about hooking back up when they were separated? There have been hints at it and oblique references in several places.
