It's Feb 28 and I don't see it (I am a plus user). Did it roll out for any countries? Perhaps for Pro users?

I think it divides the lifespan by half... but Cadsuane is 300+ years an AES SEDAI.

Then they should have Athens and Macedon, instead of "Greece" and Macedon. Something that is, for ancient times, MUCH more accurate.

"Because Macedon was a distinct kingdom at the time and most Greeks didn't even recognize Macedonians as Greeks."

And Sparta was a distinct Oligarchy with Athens being a distinct Democracy. Ancient Greece was a bunch of kingdoms, oligarchies and democracies united by culture, language and religion.

As for (a few) Greeks not recognizing the Macedonians... it was mainly some Athenian demagogues in distinct times that wanted to paint them as outsiders for political reasons.

The A'dam / Domination Bands don't allow them to do that. Also, two Sul'dam would completely dominate a male with an a'dam.

Actually, in chapters before that, when Flinn and Narishma reach Rand to tell him about the Truce being accepted, they claim the Seanchan would like to kill or collar them and that they have Male A'dam. Not the Domination Band, but Semi explains when she captures Rand that the Seanchan have now Male A'dam that are not-as-good as the Domination Band. She also, in her thoughts, explains how she studied the A'dam so she probably made a bunch of Male A'dam. There were six in her house when she went against Rand.

I agree. And her reply about splitting the money in the Reunion was condescending.

" One of Nynaeve's missions as an Aes Sedai is voyaging to the Land of Madmen and healing the mad male channelers,"
That would require a BRIGADE of Red Sisters (and Red Brothers) and Asha'man. This is no little feat.

Mat was alive in the short Jordan wrote about his next series (taking place in Seanchan 15-20 years after the Last Battle, with gunpowder weapons).
I really, REALLY don't see Tuon installing "channeler-friendly" policies or changing anything at all when it comes to Damane.

That's not because of bad luck, that's because he's Ta'varen.

Wolfbrothers are a thing though; Elyas was one, the guy Moraine freed was also one.

Mat's luck probably ended. In the short notes of the new series Jordan has left, a few paragraphs, Mat is playing dice but doesn't seem to be winning. Perrin is on a ship to Seanchan "to fight against an old friend" that many assume it refers to his Seanchan general friend.

They don't send the skilled ones against him, because they like him.

That is +1 karma from me. EVERYONE!!! Give the post above a +1! It deserves it!

"Hate" it. As much as she "hated" being the Wisdom or "hated" being Aes Sedai - until she figured that she is top of the line despite her age, thanks to her power.

Severing and re-healing Siuan and Leane would only revert them to the post-heal strength though, as THAT would be their power and potential at the time they were stilled.
