Interview: 2011
Twitter 2011 (WoT) (Verbatim)Daniel Beale (10 January 2011)
Can both male and females access the True Power? Why does Cadsuane Sedai not question how Rand escapes from being collared?Brandon Sanderson (10 January 2011)
Yes. And she doesn't have a chance.DANIEL BEALE
She doesn't at the time, but afterwards why isn't she curious as to how Rand escaped being collared?BRANDON SANDERSON
Cadsuane is curious about a lot of things. So yes, you are right. But she also is good at finding answers unexpectedly.Tags

Interview: 2011
Twitter 2011 (WoT) (Verbatim)Brandon Sanderson (8 April 2011)
You know, Nynaeve, it would have been 'wrong' and all, but I'd totally have forgiven you if you'd just offed Moghedien in the palace.REDHAIRBEAST
What about Traveling? Cuendillar? And all the rest?BRANDON SANDERSON
I'm not following you. What are you asking about?BRANDON SANDERSON
Oh, you mean "If Moghedien died, we wouldn't have these things." True, true.BRANDON SANDERSON
But at the same time...they keep just letting the Forsaken get away. Ah, well.BRANDON SANDERSON
Now I'm imagining Nynaeve towing Moghedien out with her and bringing her to the White Tower for justice—only to find Elaida in charge...HERIDFAN
How did Moghedien know about sad bracelets [Domination Band]? Semirhage said in The Gathering Storm that they were made after the Forsaken were imprisoned.BRANDON SANDERSON
I believe Moghedien said she'd been doing some research about the Breaking and had learned about them.SLEEPINGHOUR
There's been some debate about Moghedien's strength in the Power since she and Nynaeve were equal in The Shadow Rising, but...SLEEPINGHOUR
...Nynaeve hadn't reached full strength as late as The Path of Daggers. Is Moghedien the weakest of the Forsaken?BRANDON SANDERSON
Honestly? I'd have to look it up. I don't know off-hand how Cyndane fits into things now. Still powerful, but not as powerful.TEREZ
Cyndane is still the strongest female; that was made clear in Graendal's POV in The Path of Daggers. Just weaker than Lanfear.SLEEPINGHOUR (9 APRIL)
Yeah, I was mostly just curious about the considerable gap between Moghedien and the strongest female Forsaken.SLEEPINGHOUR
There was a lot of debate on RAFO.com on whether Elayne and Egwene are close to Moghedien since she's so weak.Tags

Interview: Nov 11th, 2009
TGS Signing Report - Tim Kington (Paraphrased)Question
Was the Domination Band made of cuendillar?Brandon Sanderson
The original one is made of cuendillar. The one that was destroyed was a copy, but one would assume that the copies are made of cuendillar, too. The True Power works by destroying the Pattern. Everything that is done with it involves damage to the Pattern. For example, when we see Ishamael Travel, he does so by poking a hole in the Pattern. Cuendillar can be destroyed using the True Power. There is another way to destroy cuendillar, too.Footnote
Brandon said in another interview that the second way cuendillar can be destroyed is by the unraveling Pattern.Tags

Interview: Nov 15th, 2009
TGS Signing Report - Freelancer (Paraphrased)Question
Was the Compulsion which Elza told Semirhage about Verin's work from after Dumai's Wells, and was it Shaidar Haran who told her about it and to ask Semirhage to remove it?Brandon Sanderson
Yes.Question
How did Elza defeat the wards on Cadsuane's plain wooden box?Brandon Sanderson
Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves, and in other ways made into a tool of Shaidar Haran. Not all of it was pleasant for her.Tags

Interview: Nov 14th, 2009
TGS Signing Report - Claireducky (Paraphrased)Question
Do the Seanchan know how to make cuendillar?Brandon Sanderson
You're trying to figure out if the collar Semirhage put on Rand is cuendillar. (this was a long convo so I can't remember all of it... I THINK he said the original had been made of cuendillar, and that the Seanchan had copies of it, but would not answer whether those were made of cuendillar as well. He wouldn't say if Rand was wearing a copy or the original, he said it didn't matter. And that he knew of at least two ways to destroy cuendillar—The True Power and one other way. He looked thoughtful when Muirenn mentioned the theory that women make white cuendillar and men make black cuendillar, but wouldn't confirm or deny.)Tags

TGS Signing Report - Aubree Pham (Paraphrased)Aubree Pham
From dinner re: balefire philosophy:
Talked to Brandon at the Stormleader dinner last night. He had a few things to say on this topic:
Brandon Sanderson
1. The bruises on Min's neck were not an error. After consulting with Team Jordan, it was determined that indirect effects remain. Rand was the one who strangled Min, not Semirhage directly, so the bruises stayed.
2. Brandon knows of two ways to destroy cuendillar. But he would not confirm if the Domination Band that Rand was wearing was made from cuendillar. He said it was not relevant to what happened.
3. The bracelets did not disappear when Semirhage and Elza were balefired because they were not considered to be intrinsic to their person. It would be the same if someone was holding a book and was balefired, the book would drop to the floor.
Footnote
Moghedien said the Domination Band was a form of cuendillar, and the assumption is that Rand was able to destroy it because he used the True Power.Tags

Interview: Nov 14th, 2009
TGS Signing Report - Aubree Pham (Paraphrased)Brandon Sanderson
He would not confirm the Seanchan have the tech necessary to make cuendillar, or if ter'angreal copying would skip the need to also make the copied item into cuendillar. He did say: "If the Seanchan had the knowledge of how to make cuendillar, don't you think we would have seen it by now?"Tags

AMOL Signing Report - Jonrox (Paraphrased)Jonrox
Who opened Cadsuane's box? (Jokingly) Is it intuitively obvious?Brandon Sanderson
It's not intuitively obvious who opened the box. The weaves were removed from the box so that the person who opened the box could open it.Tags
