Alright... I'm going to the Bailey's Crossroads Signing tomorrow
evening... will anyone else from here be there? I'll be the guy with
the shaved head and the teal backpack with all the patches on it, and
I'd love to meet some of y'all if y'all will be there.

Also, I'm planning on asking if Verin is a former librarian for the 13th
depository (if that hasn't already been asked and RAFOed)... someone let
me know? And if there are any questions that people think need to be
asked, I'll try to get to them. I have 4 books that need signing and a
friend with at least one.

Maybe you could ask how the 13th Depository librarians are chosen?

If you get a chance, could you ask him if the Creator's champion has ever gone
over to serving the Shadow, or if Ishamael was lying about that?

I've seen two opposite answers now, both supposedly from Jordan at signings /
conventions. And I'd very much like to find out which one is correct.

You could ask about the "fist grabbing three lightning bolts" sigil,
which was seen on Be'lal's coach, Sammael's chair and now Taim's chair
as well.

How old is Thom?

What are the limits of the True Power? Can it be used in a Stedding or
Far Madding?

If a channeler enters T'A'R and goes to Far Madding, can they channel?

If you're asking about Verin, I forgot to ask if he'll confirm that she
Compelled Ingtar last signing and he's not coming back to Seattle
anytime soon. It's kinda strange that hasn't been mentioned in this
newsgroup (so far as google's search feature shows), and I'm not sure
if it's been verified or if I'm alone in thinking it.

If a channeler enters T'A'R and goes to Far Madding, they can channel
if I remember correctly, The unknown forsaken that orders Slayer to
kill Rand and Min during WH, I believe that he was in Far Madding. I
can't remember the chapter.

Cadsuane and Nynaeve have already channeled in Far Madding using their
wells. Inference, at least, says this can happen in a Stedding,
although we have no proof of it.

Although the question was referring to the True Power, rather than the
OP/True source. [Curse you, Jordan, for giving us these ambiguities!]

Someone seems to be confused over which was which... unless you're
seriously suggesting that Nynaeve and Cads have a Dark secret of some
kind?

I showed up about 8 or 8:15, and the place had cleared out, there was
no line so I walked right up to him at the table where he was signing.
I arrived the same time as his wife/editor Harriet (I assume it was
her, black hair with a shock of white hair in the front; RJ asked her
if she'd found an Indian place for dinner, so I leaped to the Harriet
conclusion).

Anyway, I gave him the book, told him I was liking it so far, and asked
him how he keeps track of all the random AS? I was just kinda making
polite chit-chat, and hadn't planned a question.

So he launched into what sounded like a stock response about keeping a
computer file of all the "initiates of the White Tower" with detailed
descriptions, etc, and he finished with saying that it's a really big
file, 2.5 megs. Without really thinking about it, I said "wow, so how
am I supposed to keep track of all that without that file?"

The store manager standing behind RJ gave a little nervous laugh, and
Harriet, jumps in and said "you're just supposed to be dazzled."

"OK," I respond, and gave a kinda questioning look to RJ.

"Read, read" he answers.

"Sure. Thanks for signing your book."

I was in and out in like 3 minutes and home for Lost. Good times.

Ah. Missed that. Move along... nothing to see here...

Apologies all.

I'm not so sure about that. The Far Madding Guardian generates an effect
similar to that of a stedding, but it's not identical. For a start, we know
that it differs in that it blocks the two halves of the Power separately.
If there's one difference there may be others, and it could even be that the
Guardian is a different solution to the same problem.

You are kind of getting where I'm coming from with these questions. The
idea is that if there is no channeling in T'A'R Far Madding without a
well, we may have a hint about who the mystery forsaken was. My theory
is that it was Moridin using the True Power, hence the question about
the limits on TP use.
