If the wheel stops spinning, the pattern will stop repeating itself over and over and flow in an ever changing line instead, allowing for true evolution instead of repetitive evolution.

I just re-read the battle of Dumai's Wells and it got me thinking what happens to the warder of a stilled sister? The two events that come to mind with stilling happen there and when Siuan is deposed. For Siuan and Leanne their warders were killed in the battle, and I didn't see any mention of what happened the the warders of the stilled sisters at Dumai's. So is the warder bond broken? Does the sudden break cause as much emotional harm to the warder as it does the sister? Just curious if there is a scene I can't think of that answers this, or if RJ or BS ever answered the question.

Hello all, I am long time reader, but new to the forums. I am currently in my 4th (I think) readthrough, and I am working on focusing on the nature of the more existential elements of the series this time, so I will be asking a lot of thoughts concerning the nature of the Creator/DO, the pattern/wheel, the bore/DO's prison, and that sort of thing. First, what do you see as the Dark One's true agenda? As I understand it, the pattern is made as a wheel destined to repeat itself over and over for all eternity. Perhaps the dark one doesn't necessarily want to destroy the pattern, but just the Timewheel itself, creating more of an ever evolving Timeline instead. I believe Moridin may be the only person who grasps this. While I don't necessarily agree with the "evil" means to get to that end, I can at least sympathize with the goal. Any thoughts to this?
