I was listening to The Gathering Storm on Audiobook while falling asleep last night and I started wondering about what Egwene could do to fortify the tower against further Seanchan raids/invasions and the Dark Ones forces.

 

I suddenly got the idea ... if they could turn that whole chain into cuendiar why not the whole tower?

 

Thoughts?

last i knew, the white tower wasn't made out of iron.

 

edit: to elaborate, they only turn iron objects into heart stone.

What was said above, plus we don't know how the black heartstone is made or what it is made from (we've seen it only used in the making of the Seals)

maybe its men make black cuendillar and women make white, carrying on the theme of black and white

Even if it could be done, I don't see the point.

 

Egwene knows that the Seanchan likely have traveling now. Making the walls unbreakable seems like a lot of effort for very little benefit.

 

Given that we have the last book coming, and that the last battle is basically about to start I can't help but think the Seanchan and White Tower will not go at it too hard. Perhaps 1 raid before they put their differences aside, but they'll both be needed at the last battle.
