Good point ... Shishka Send a noteboard - 10/05/2010 06:45:52 PM
As far as I am aware, Leanne got to know of the DR a just before the Hall. She, at least, did absolutely nothing wrong. She was just too influential and loyal to Siuan to leave behind. Had they left her unstilled, she could have made Elaida's life difficult. Removing her was a matter of convenience, not justice.


I was (mistakenly) thinking that Leane knew what Siuan and Moiraine were up to, but you're right (as far as I know). I checked Encyc.WoT, and it seems Siuan (in TGH) always had Leane leave the room whenever she talked to Moiraine. I wonder if Siuan did that to try to protect Leane, or just to keep as few people as possible from knowing. Some of both, I would imagine. I don't think Siuan mistrusted Leane, but my memory of these details is very hazy.

Anyway ... I agree with what you said. Although, I suspect that Elaida and co. simply assumed Leane was in on it, rather than assume she wasn't but stilled her anyway for the reasons you stated. I don't recall if there was ever any discussion of this, in TSR when it happened or later when the two went to Salidar.

I like Leane, and respected Siuan until RJ mauled her character RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/05/2010 05:55:08 PM 1001 Views
She was probably the sacrificial lamb in place of Moiraine Sidious - 10/05/2010 06:25:39 PM 959 Views
The deck was certainly stacked against Siuan from the very beginning darius_sedai - 11/05/2010 02:44:05 PM 1047 Views
This is a main reason I hope Siuan and Leanne get their full strength restored darius_sedai - 11/05/2010 02:25:31 PM 1047 Views
I don't really agree Sidious - 11/05/2010 05:35:44 PM 995 Views
I see your point and like I said, I think there are certainly other resolutions to the story line darius_sedai - 11/05/2010 06:22:44 PM 985 Views

In Egwene's defense, it would be hypocritical of her to bring that up after profiting from it Cannoli - 12/05/2010 05:59:57 AM 1042 Views
Oh, I never expected Egwene to do something about this. Fanatic-Templar - 12/05/2010 06:12:35 AM 919 Views
Well she's off forging a relationship with the Asha'man - you know, useful stuff? *NM* Cannoli - 12/05/2010 06:39:04 AM 608 Views
