The Great Hunt - Chapter 45 : Blademaster






Ch.45  - These questions were brought to you by the Gleeman’s Apprentice Podcast. 


 Nyneave 


  • Nynaeve channeled at the collars of two damane and they fell to the ground. 



  • Initial plan was: Ambush Sul'dam to get dress+a'dam -> one of the girls take dress other where collar -> go to Damane house



  • New plan: Nynaeve just put a sack on the sul’dam’s head and collar the sul’dam’s neck and use the sacked sul’dam to get into the building with all the damane(where Egwene is being held) and they take the sack of the sul’dam’s head before going in. 


  • Nyneave doesn’t want to collar Elayne. 


  • And Nynaeve takes the sul’dam’s dress and they switched  clothes because the dress fit Nynaeve better and the sul’dam was dressed in a dress they prepared earlier to look like a damane dress. 


  • Nynaeve has power over Seta. Seta promised not to tell anyone and she’s the leashed one. 


  • Now they are headed to the a Lion’s Den ( aka where all the damane are kept). 


Bayle Doman 


  • Yarin is worried that the girls will not show up and Bayle Doman will wait for the girls to show up to go on his boat. 


Rand 

  • Rand takes the banner with him so Verin doesn’t find it. 


  • Ingtar’s plan was to make them look like ordinary people walking on the street. 


  • Mat sees a damane. 


  • I think Rand seems very confused to see Grolm in Falme. 


  • Since Mat can sense the dagger it must be in the same room with Fain meaning the Horn is with it as well. 


  • They were clever on how they got into the house. 


  • I honestly believe the Boyd first song the Horn and dagger without Fain in the room seems too easy, maybe Fain wants them to think he’s not watching. 


  • Omg when Rand see’s Egwene with a collar around her neck made me feel things just like Rand did I imagine. 


  • Oh no looks like Lord Turak has spotted them. I’m thinking Turak will turn the boys in but he thinks Fain killed the guard. 


  • Omg I never thought I’d see Mat kill a soldier with the dagger. 


  • I never thought I’d see Rand kill a High Lord, especially Turak. I imagine there will be consequences for Rand killing Turak. 


  • 540, “Instead, they stared silently at the High Lord’s body. They produced daggers from under their robes, and he tightened his grip on the sword, but each man placed the point to his own breast.” “‘From birth to death,”’ they intoned in unison, “‘I serve the Blood.”’ “And plunged the daggers into their own hearts” (540). 



  • Rand is valuing having Egwene back over having the Horn. This makes me feel he really has feelings for her. 


Afterthoughts 




  • I think leaders of the Seanchan  are Darkfriends controlled by Ba’alzamon. 



Questions


  • What do you know about being tarverean?


  • A: I know they can sometimes change the Pattern to some degree, they might be able to tell who someone is they have a strong bond with that’s far away and they can pull the strings as needed to slightly alter what’s going to happen if needed.


  • Rand’s pull to being able to make out people from long distances; he probably pulling the strings of the Pattern since he has a strong connection with  Egwene.



  • What does Turak’s death look like? 


  • A: I envisioned his death either as an all out bloodbath or as Turak being cut into nice sized chunks of human flesh or as a massacre against Turak (for some reason).

The Great Hunt - Chapter 29 : Seanchan

  Ch.29  Fill out after I read chapter  Symbol : It looks like some sort of helmet. It might go hand in hand with the chapter. This looks like a Seanchan helmet and could just be showing what helmets these people wear.  On the hardcover edition of TGH I’m starting to think the creature on top of the rocks is a Seanchan and same with the ones on the back cover.  Chapter title : The title of the chapter is Seanchan. This title is referring to the tribe of Seanchan and probably in particular the Captain, that's a woman.  Main Points of the Chapter   Mentioned characters : Geofram Bornhald, Byar, Muadh (Whitecloak questioner), Child Jeral, Child, Earwin, Child Wuan, Arthur Hawkwing Mentioned characters : Yarin, Caban, Turak  351,275 the watchers : “Bornhald pulled off his gauntlets and sat at one of the tables. He knew they called themselves the Seanchan, and Hailene. He had enough of the Old Tongue to know the the latter meant Those Who Come Before,...

The Dragon Reborn - Chapters 9-11

  Ch9 - Wolf Dreams  So Aes Sedai can have the power of Dreaming; so what does that mean?  In Perrin’s dream, Who was the bloody man? Oh no the next dream has  Lanfear in it; oh fucking shit this is really bad (there were white pointed archways that led into a bigger room with furniture carved, gilded and inlaid with ivory). This makes me think of the Place in Tear Rand  is trying to get to. Like a way of foretelling events that will eventually happen perhaps.  Page 115 - “ Run now! You must not be here now. Danger. Great Danger. Worse than all the Neverborn. You must go. Go now! Now! ” - I was thinking what “danger” was Hopper referring to in the dream; something horrible/terrifying will happen in the future to Perrin or someone else perhaps.  WTF would Hopper go for Perrin’s throat? We also think he’s dead, but is he really dead; or is this a vision of something terrible to come? But in reality Hopper was just trying to scare Perrin out of the dream...
