Re: Well, it took centuries for most people to understand breeding/genetics Comet Sedai Send a noteboard - 03/06/2010 03:38:25 AM
Well, yes, you make a valid point, but it's been close to 1000 years since Luthair Pendrag leashed the first damane, or at the very least, several hundreds of years. In all that time, no one put two-and-two together and realized that sul'dam and damane run in families, however infrequently? It speaks of an incredibly close-minded culture, with a self-imposed thought police.

Seanchan girls. Do they live in terror until 25? Datakim - 02/06/2010 12:32:14 AM 1701 Views
It's a huge honor to be a sul'dam, and they test for that on the same day Deadsy - 02/06/2010 01:06:32 AM 1036 Views

Nobody knows about Sul'dam because it takes them extra long to learn. FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 07:58:41 AM 1203 Views

I think it's seen as something that happens to other people. Gher - 02/06/2010 02:20:09 AM 938 Views
I think they retest only the sul'dam randfandom - 02/06/2010 04:13:55 AM 1095 Views

I'd think that would be a tiny chance given how diligent the Seanchan are in this regard darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:58:15 PM 1052 Views
Remember, Seancean have no idea channeling can be "learned" beetnemesis - 02/06/2010 07:04:11 AM 1005 Views
This is how Damane and Sul'Dam are determined, straight from tGH FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 08:14:03 AM 1611 Views
That doesn't make sense. Are you sure they don't put the BRACELET on the girls, not the collar? beetnemesis - 04/06/2010 01:35:08 AM 881 Views

Toun, though too young can be collared Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:29:29 AM 805 Views
I don't think Tuon will ever Channel darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:39:16 AM 966 Views

I just see all of that as potential plot lines for the planned follow-up Mat/Tuon in Seanchan novels darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:09:26 AM 1006 Views

As with most things in Jordan's universe, I don't think it was thought through very seriously. Tom - 03/06/2010 08:05:04 PM 839 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 03/06/2010 08:44:35 PM 954 Views

Bah... fionwe1987 - 03/06/2010 09:51:09 PM 891 Views
Jordan definitely made mistakes with the Ajahs. In particular, the Black Ajah ones who fled. Tom - 03/06/2010 10:56:39 PM 895 Views

I don't know if that's totally true darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 12:09:29 PM 844 Views
Maybe you don't read that much serious literature? I just don't see why you are arguing this. Tom - 04/06/2010 03:47:50 PM 826 Views
I actually don't read much fiction at all to be honest darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 04:00:03 PM 855 Views
You're right about the fact that I have mostly contempt for Jordan. Tom - 04/06/2010 05:42:49 PM 842 Views
meh. I prefer non-fiction most of the time darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:44:38 AM 879 Views
I have read lots of fiction Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:57:07 AM 917 Views

Brandon brings out supporting chars. better, it's true. FanEditor10 - 04/06/2010 03:17:52 AM 882 Views
You're absolutely right. Sanderson gets "inside" the characters a bit more. *NM* Tom - 04/06/2010 03:52:29 PM 351 Views
