o Win You Must Cheat

by Jackola: 1998-07-24 | Not yet rated

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: What Has Happened to Moiraine?

Courage to strengthen, fire to blind, music to dazzle, iron to bind." Is the quote from the game of Snakes and Foxes, a Finnland leftover from AoL. Like many others, I believe Thom is gonna be the one to get her out through the Tower of Ghenjei (sp?) because of Min's viewing, etc. I just wanted to add one thought as to how he will accomplish this... Mat (while playing w/ Olver) has thought that "The only way to win the game is to cheat," or something like that. We all know that the first thing the Finnish people ask is whether the visitor has anything for making light, instruments of music, or iron. Therefore, when Thom goes to get Moir, he'll have his harp/flute, knives (or something else iron), and SOME OF ALUDRA'S FIRESTICKS. That's where the light will come from, and that's also her purpose in the series beyone giving Mat fireworks. Why else bring her back after that, and why else constantly mention Ny's nervousness around the matches? That's the only way to win against the Finnish.

I agree that some cheating must go on in order for the Finns to finally be beaten, in someways I would rather Mat cheated them this time but Thom will definitely have something to do with Moiraine in the future, how much longer till the next book?
