So, Tsutama... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 19/05/2010 05:29:56 PM

No we're not talking about the present. We're talking, at latest, of the contents of The Gathering Storm, as I corrected two posts ago. As for the Black Tower, I've already addressed this. The entire operation was handled in secret. Pevara recounts in Remember the Old Saying how she had to search for tiny clues to find Red Sisters to involve in the operation. This is not 'the Red Ajah' having greater priorities, it is Tsutama Rath having greater priorities. And good for her. I don't expect every Aes Sedai in the Tower to be an idiot.


So, F-T, you admit that the Highest of the Red Ajah thinks there are more important things than the Rebellion and supporting Elaida. The same is the case with a highly influential Red Sitter, Pevara. It is also true of the former Keeper of the Chronicles, Tarna. Another Sitter, Javindhra, who may not agree with such policies, has been quelled by Tsutama into following her idea, and is now in the Black Tower.

We also know from Egwene that it is likely that Tsutama has spoken to Elaida and asked her to lie low, that the Reds cannot afford to support her if she blunders much more.

With almost all the high command of the Reds either more concerned about the BT and the DR, or else under orders from Tsutama to make themselves so, exactly why is it a stretch to believe that she ordered them to shut up about the Logain issue, accept the fact that the new Amyrlin seems reasonable and had raised one of their own as Keeper, and let bygones be bygones? Seems exactly what Tsutama would order, and given the sort of power the Highest wields, I don't see why this is improbable.

You seem to deal in bad analogies... - 10/05/2010 05:14:47 PM 1179 Views
You've got an irritating manner about you. No wonder you find Aes Sedai so believable. - 10/05/2010 05:53:00 PM 1032 Views

I usually agree about his manner, but he's right here. - 12/05/2010 04:24:28 AM 1171 Views

I think you're looking at it the wrong way. - 12/05/2010 06:32:00 AM 1090 Views

I don't know if I agree with this - 11/05/2010 03:19:20 PM 1154 Views
The thing is ... - 11/05/2010 09:06:15 PM 1083 Views
I get what you are saying, but the quote is from much earlier - 14/05/2010 03:14:17 PM 898 Views
I totally unagree... - 17/05/2010 11:16:50 AM 1379 Views
I like Leane, and respected Siuan until RJ mauled her character - 10/05/2010 05:55:08 PM 1062 Views
She was probably the sacrificial lamb in place of Moiraine - 10/05/2010 06:25:39 PM 1015 Views
The deck was certainly stacked against Siuan from the very beginning - 11/05/2010 02:44:05 PM 1094 Views
This is a main reason I hope Siuan and Leanne get their full strength restored - 11/05/2010 02:25:31 PM 1093 Views
I don't really agree - 11/05/2010 05:35:44 PM 1056 Views

I'm still annoyed that Siuan is not going to face the consequences of lying about the Reds. - 12/05/2010 05:18:47 AM 1108 Views
In Egwene's defense, it would be hypocritical of her to bring that up after profiting from it - 12/05/2010 05:59:57 AM 1090 Views
Oh, I never expected Egwene to do something about this. - 12/05/2010 06:12:35 AM 973 Views
Well she's off forging a relationship with the Asha'man - you know, useful stuff? *NM* - 12/05/2010 06:39:04 AM 629 Views
Are you claiming that Pevara was the only woman in the entire Red Ajah to be offended by that lie? *NM* - 12/05/2010 07:15:40 AM 573 Views

Really do you have a quote supporting the fact that there has never been a FD supported by a Red? - 18/05/2010 09:39:31 PM 1105 Views
Of course..., I'll provide it as soon as you prove you're not a Nazi serial child rapist. - 18/05/2010 10:06:23 PM 911 Views

That doesn't make sense. - 13/05/2010 10:54:53 PM 1136 Views
it was about more than just male channelers - 18/05/2010 09:50:14 PM 1197 Views
Yes, that's true. - 18/05/2010 10:07:22 PM 1171 Views
I'm also certain the majority of the Red had no clue/involvement - 20/05/2010 10:24:54 PM 1058 Views
That's also true. - 20/05/2010 10:29:11 PM 1021 Views
