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 1720 Views

He cannot. This passage is similar to one in New Spring - 05/06/2010 03:36:19 AM 853 Views

They still see channelers as Dark Friends. - 10/06/2010 03:51:44 PM 812 Views
More likely they'd do what the Seanchan would when/if Tuon Channels - 13/06/2010 12:21:12 PM 818 Views
As you pointed out - 13/06/2010 02:08:34 PM 812 Views
Only for the short term - 13/06/2010 02:48:54 PM 826 Views
Perhaps. Perhaps not. Nothing is completely static. - 13/06/2010 05:41:59 PM 939 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 416 Views
Yes. Exactly. In three days two Aiel clans ended a blood feud. - 14/06/2010 03:14:42 AM 947 Views

Nonesense. The Sul'Dam hadn't started channeling. - 14/06/2010 07:26:12 PM 877 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 912 Views
As sul'Dam they need to be taught to channel. - 14/06/2010 10:38:33 PM 787 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 1371 Views
Actually women soldiers are NOT common in WoT - 23/06/2010 07:50:13 AM 1076 Views
They are common enough in Seanchan and with the Aiel though - 27/06/2010 03:47:18 PM 723 Views
I'm inclined to say no - 06/06/2010 07:48:11 AM 904 Views
I don't. - 09/06/2010 03:28:30 PM 859 Views
