I may be wrong, but I thought the Ways were around during the AoL....and they could travel then as well. I think it would be cool to travel the Ways even if I could channel a gateway.
I have been doing another reread of MoL in-between homework and life. I just got to the part about the trollocs invasion through the Ways.
So, after the battle, were the Ways restored? I think it would be cool if they were, but also would they even be relevant because of the ability to travel...
