hello, Seta and Bethamin took the leap on their own. sul'dam are right at the edge darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 15/06/2010 01:48:25 AM
They don't have the spark. They won't just start channeling randomly one day unless they actually take the pains to learn how. That's how it works. As such, they aren't in danger of being mistaken as damane if they stayed. They were free and clear, if kept from actually wearing the bracelet by Surroth.

The Sul'Dam have see the Seanchan thrown back and defeated several times by the Dragon Reborn. it is conceivable that they don't view the conquest as inevitable and that there are always places to run and hide. after all, in the viewing Rand had of the possible futures, the Seanchan never visited remote backwaters like the Two Rivers. It is possible, if unlikely, to find remote villages to live in that might never be visited by the Empire.

If the white cloaks honestly considered the Aes Sedai creatures of the Dark One, they would not be planning an alliance during the final battle. It is that simple. They see the White tower and Dark one as two completely separate and unrelated powers. Most of their rhetoric is just that, trying to convince people that they're right and everyone else is wrong.

The Aes Sedai represent a different philosophy. Anyone who represents a different philosophy is wrong, and misleading and therefore to be killed on sight. Like many fanatics in religions in the last several centuries in our era.

And I doubt that they would knowingly elect a channeler as Lord Captain Commander. But Galad cannot channel yet. If leads the Whites Cloaks well and gains their respect and adoration, and then learns he can channel, that may just change their minds.


once they realize what they can do it's only a matter of time.

I think you are delusional if you think the WC will accept a man who can Channel as LCC ... but hey, it's your opinion :)

But go re-read the POVs from Niall or Valda or either Bornhald or Byar ... it's a universal thought that the "witches are creatures of the DO"
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!

Is there anyone who *doesn't* think Galad can channel? - 05/06/2010 02:36:20 AM 1625 Views

He cannot. This passage is similar to one in New Spring - 05/06/2010 03:36:19 AM 754 Views

They still see channelers as Dark Friends. - 10/06/2010 03:51:44 PM 715 Views
More likely they'd do what the Seanchan would when/if Tuon Channels - 13/06/2010 12:21:12 PM 728 Views
As you pointed out - 13/06/2010 02:08:34 PM 719 Views
Only for the short term - 13/06/2010 02:48:54 PM 732 Views
Perhaps. Perhaps not. Nothing is completely static. - 13/06/2010 05:41:59 PM 849 Views
right, cause in a few months they are going to change more tahn 1000 years of doctrine *NM* - 13/06/2010 10:32:56 PM 377 Views
Yes. Exactly. In three days two Aiel clans ended a blood feud. - 14/06/2010 03:14:42 AM 853 Views
None of these situations is really the same - 14/06/2010 03:18:59 PM 749 Views

I think you are overstating the situations below - 14/06/2010 06:02:12 PM 686 Views
Nonesense. The Sul'Dam hadn't started channeling. - 14/06/2010 07:26:12 PM 777 Views
The sul'dam who have realized what they are know it's just a matter of time - 14/06/2010 07:50:52 PM 813 Views
As sul'Dam they need to be taught to channel. - 14/06/2010 10:38:33 PM 681 Views
hello, Seta and Bethamin took the leap on their own. sul'dam are right at the edge - 15/06/2010 01:48:25 AM 1251 Views
Actually women soldiers are NOT common in WoT - 23/06/2010 07:50:13 AM 947 Views
They are common enough in Seanchan and with the Aiel though - 27/06/2010 03:47:18 PM 641 Views
I'm inclined to say no - 06/06/2010 07:48:11 AM 811 Views
I don't. - 09/06/2010 03:28:30 PM 762 Views
As others said, there is no real reason to believe that. *NM* - 09/06/2010 03:44:00 PM 379 Views
