WOT on Prime Episode 8 - SPOILERS

[Ascendancy]

An eagle-eye'd attention to detail fan was doing a re-read of the series and found this information about using the OP to open way gates. They posted this in a fan page on facebook and I thought I would share below. I completely forgot this was in the books.

Currently on a re-read of book 4 and without giving away spoilers, Loial mentions that as the avendasora leaf has been removed from a certain waygate the only way to open it now is with an Aes Sedai or an Ogier Elder. So I guess Moiraine opening the waygate wasn’t entirely wrong, and then later we did see Padan again with an Avendesora leaf, so perhaps that waygate had no leaf, which is why Moiraine opened it?
