Do we know who warded the draghkar? I don't think vandene or adeleas were black ajah....
We see Nyneave's raising to accepted - it is noted that the aes sedai didn't swear their oaths before the trolloc wars. I had thought they started swearing them earlier than that.
What is your opinion: do you think the places within the arches were real alternative worlds or just figments of novices' imaginations?
It seems that one needs to be unclothed to enter, as well.
Didn't someone mentioned that Liandrin left the Amyrlin's escort to Tar Valon and possibly followed Moiraine? If she had the orders from Ba'alzamon to follow Moiraine and see what she's up to, it's possible that Liandrin was also the one to send and ward the Drakhar.
I am confused about the Accepted's test. So, we know that for the Aes Sedai test, the Aes Sedai who are around the ter'angreal give you the tests and weave some really difficult situations for you. With the Accepted test... what do the Aes Sedai do? Do they just power the ter'angreal?
Also, another thing, in the third archway Nynaeve notices the arch disappear when she thinks to herself that she might stay. So... first of all, did the Aes Sedai channeling in that archway remove it? And second, how did Nynaeve channel the archway back? I think she was looking for resudie of the weave and somehow channeled a gate back to the real world. But still, in that case the third Aes Sedai would've felt something... or am I thinking about this too much? Also, right there in the end she seems to remember everything that's happening in the real world -
"I could stay here. With Lan. Nothing has changed. Her thoughts turned. Nothing has changed. Egwene is alone in the White Tower. Rand will channel the Power and go mad. And what of Mat and Perrin? Can they take back any shred of their lives? And Moiraine, who tore all our lives apart, still walks free."
Also, it is possible that the worlds are real, it's just that they get built up from the Novice's memories somehow? And probably that's why everything seemed real to Nynaeve even after the third arch disappear.
Also the fact that Sheriam says very confidently that they know what that ter'angreal does, makes me roll my eyes
Another thing about the ter'angreal, Sheriam said it's been found during the Trolloc wars. Did they use something else before that to test the initiates? And I went on a tangeant and now I wonder how the Age of Legends Aes Sedai were made Aes Sedai?
