18 Forsaken ?

 

Am I right that five of them are revived - Aran'gar, Osan'gar, Cyndane, Hessalam and obviously Moridin? 

 

So eighteen lives total

 

I was saving that one ?

 

Makes more sense to be 5 than 18, though.

Five ride forth, and four return.
Above the Watchers Over the Waves shall he proclaim himself,
bannered 'cross the sky in fire.

Kicking myself now

My three choices have already been named (great captains, "elements" of the One Power, revived Forsaken). Y'all are quick!

The five named horses everyone loves.
Bela, Mandarb, Aldieb, Pips, and Stepper.

The Five Great Captains (but in my headcanon it's Mat instead of Niall)

 

Edit- oops I missed that it was already said! Consider this my second vote then

I don't doubt it, I just don't like him ?

Today’s challenge: Something in sixes.  I have a feeling some of these numbers may require more cleverness than others? Is six where the game falls apart?

 

Also I’ll vote on yesterday’s in a minute. Have some home care stuff that took priority. But wanted to get today’s started. 

The size of the shield constantly maintained on Rand when he is kidnapped.

The six pips that show on the dice after Mat throws them in mumble mumble inn playing mumble mumble game that mumble mumble may have happened in the books.... somewhere.

 

Sorry.. got nothing. ?

 

6 POV characters in EotW (Lews Therin, Egwene, Rand, Perrin, Nynaeve, Moiraine)

Cadsuanes Six-pointed star ter'angreal in her Paralis-net.

It has the ability to shield the user from physical attacks  from Swords, Arrows, Maces, etc.

The six bridges of Tar Valon and the 6 villages that border them.

Honestly I had hoped someone would mention the bridges. Good call ?

I'm reaching here, but the Black sisters stole 6 dream ter'angreal when they fled Tar Valon

I only came up with the bridges. 

 

Struggling to think of anything else

 

Six named places on the Caemlyn Road - Whitebridge, Arien, Four Kings, Market Sheran, Breens Spring, Carysford

Sorry

It's better than mine for sure

 

The omniscient observer can also be one of them

The first six books and their culmination at Dumai's Wells. That set up the rest of the series.

 

Maybe, just trying to come up with something ?
