Re: Are the new damane actually tortured? Watcher Send a noteboard - 02/06/2010 06:56:10 PM
We know that any women captured by the Seanchan in the Westlands are tortured as part of their training but I was under the impression that this was done because female channelers on this side of the ocean dont know or accept the institution of damane.

If a girl is brought up among the Seanchan there is certain some stigma to the family as her name is stricked from the rolls when she is found to be able to channel but I got the impression that quite a few accept their face quite quickly because they have been brough up to believe that damane should submit.

No doubt their initial training may be harsh but I wonder does it have to be as cruel as the training among the Aes Sedai and such who refuse to accept that they should serve the empire.

Well, it took centuries for most people to understand breeding/genetics - 02/06/2010 08:57:43 PM 938 Views
Nobody knows about Sul'dam because it takes them extra long to learn. - 03/06/2010 07:58:41 AM 1239 Views

I think it's seen as something that happens to other people. - 02/06/2010 02:20:09 AM 966 Views

This is how Damane and Sul'Dam are determined, straight from tGH - 03/06/2010 08:14:03 AM 1807 Views
That doesn't make sense. Are you sure they don't put the BRACELET on the girls, not the collar? - 04/06/2010 01:35:08 AM 913 Views

I think "tortured" is relative... - 03/06/2010 08:22:37 AM 951 Views
As with most things in Jordan's universe, I don't think it was thought through very seriously. - 03/06/2010 08:05:04 PM 875 Views
Huh? - 03/06/2010 08:44:35 PM 977 Views

Maybe you don't read that much serious literature? I just don't see why you are arguing this. - 04/06/2010 03:47:50 PM 857 Views
I actually don't read much fiction at all to be honest - 04/06/2010 04:00:03 PM 894 Views
You're right about the fact that I have mostly contempt for Jordan. - 04/06/2010 05:42:49 PM 874 Views
