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 1752 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 1083 Views

Nobody knows about Sul'dam because it takes them extra long to learn. FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 07:58:41 AM 1275 Views

I think it's seen as something that happens to other people. Gher - 02/06/2010 02:20:09 AM 985 Views
I think they retest only the sul'dam randfandom - 02/06/2010 04:13:55 AM 1160 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 1103 Views
Remember, Seancean have no idea channeling can be "learned" beetnemesis - 02/06/2010 07:04:11 AM 1070 Views
This is how Damane and Sul'Dam are determined, straight from tGH FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 08:14:03 AM 1859 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 938 Views

Toun, though too young can be collared Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:29:29 AM 861 Views
I don't think Tuon will ever Channel darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:39:16 AM 1005 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 1089 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 895 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 03/06/2010 08:44:35 PM 999 Views

Jordan definitely made mistakes with the Ajahs. In particular, the Black Ajah ones who fled. Tom - 03/06/2010 10:56:39 PM 949 Views

I don't know if that's totally true darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 12:09:29 PM 903 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 888 Views
I actually don't read much fiction at all to be honest darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 04:00:03 PM 922 Views
You're right about the fact that I have mostly contempt for Jordan. Tom - 04/06/2010 05:42:49 PM 899 Views
meh. I prefer non-fiction most of the time darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:44:38 AM 935 Views
I have read lots of fiction Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:57:07 AM 966 Views

I think the number of characters directly contributes to the situation. Tom - 04/06/2010 03:51:42 PM 846 Views

Brandon brings out supporting chars. better, it's true. FanEditor10 - 04/06/2010 03:17:52 AM 944 Views
You're absolutely right. Sanderson gets "inside" the characters a bit more. *NM* Tom - 04/06/2010 03:52:29 PM 380 Views
