[split] Memories/Forging (spoilers all books incl RWC)

[joost]

I don't have references to quote, but I just wanted to add that it's also my understanding that forging doesn't remove memories as such, it removes your emotional connection to the memories.

From 'Fool's fate', chapter 21:
I wondered what the Fool had lost in that brief kiss of stone. A summer's day from his childhood, a moment of watching King Shrewd and Chade talking by the firelight of the hearth in the old king's room? Had it been some moment he and I had shared, now snatched from him and gone forever? He would know such things had happened, but Forging would erase their significance to him.
