Re: Nonsense... Sidious Send a noteboard - 01/07/2010 09:32:45 PM

Are we reading the same books? She totally violates the law that one sister cannot interfere in the business of another when she orders Moiraine to follow Merean. And she orders Merean to take care of her as well!


She's much stronger in the Power. She can make them stand on their heads if she wants to.

And she may think the Rebels were idiots, but she didn't show any signs of following Elaida's orders did she? Not only did she stay away from the Tower, she communicated and cooperated with Rand extensively despite Elaida stating that that is not allowed.


Well exactly, she finds ways around rules. It's impossible to prosecute Cadsuane for anything because she doesn't actually break Tower Law.

And her avoidance of positions of power only adds to her persona. She clearly cares nothing for the system, and bends the rules to suit her purpose. That this makes her the best AS in centuries only proves how useless the Tower has become.


Well indeed, that is definitely true.

Cadsuane is the kind of headache most leaders would never want. She is a legend, so simply ordering penance or exiling her is not an option. She cares nothing for your authority, and will call you a fool in public if she thinks you're being one.


I don't think she's a headache at all. It's more than likely she obeys any Amyrlin or Sitter to the word, but when things don't suit her she disappears for a decade or so. I have strong doubts that they consider her to be a wild card, or someone unreliable.

As a simple example of this contrast... in KoD, when Romanda sees how the presence of an Asha'man is making the sisters panic, she thinks she'd like to go around slapping sense into them, but does not because "that would just not do". In the same situation, Cadsuane wouldn't have hesitated.


Cadsuane disciplines people behind closed doors. She never embarassed other Sisters in public. For all her aggressive tactics, she has a strong sense of decorum.

It seems very likely if she's still with Rand when he "knows the Amyrlin's anger." *NM* RandAllThor - 30/06/2010 01:30:57 AM 382 Views

I don't understand you, at all. You're speaking nonsense. callandor1000 - 30/06/2010 04:53:11 AM 1098 Views
true, Cadsuane is one of my favorite characters *NM* car'a'aman - 30/06/2010 08:21:31 AM 418 Views

I don't particularly like Cadsuane either ... but she's done quite a few smart things... darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 04:11:55 PM 893 Views
She's also actually accomplised things in her life as well, unlike most Aes Sedai. Rurouni_Kenshin - 01/07/2010 04:04:40 AM 918 Views
well she did have advantages with her ornaments darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 04:04:58 PM 1025 Views
I'm in the pro-Casuane camp. And there is lots of room! The Angry Druid - 01/07/2010 11:40:44 PM 964 Views

Age means nothing to Egwene BlackAdder - 30/06/2010 01:15:06 PM 882 Views
ya, but to none with her age and her strength of character. car'a'aman - 30/06/2010 04:13:50 PM 806 Views
Saerin is nearly as old as Cadsuane as are a few of the other darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 05:39:28 PM 829 Views
Not really. Cadsuane's ability to boss people around extends only to BlackAdder - 30/06/2010 05:54:45 PM 766 Views

you are probably right...but it doesn't stop me from hoping though. *NM* car'a'aman - 30/06/2010 04:11:37 PM 375 Views
I doubt that Cadsuane would be very intimidated by Egwene... *NM* Etzel - 30/06/2010 10:00:17 AM 390 Views
I doubt that Egwene would be very intimidated by Cadsuane ... darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 04:01:12 PM 849 Views
I think Egwene might be awed... Etzel - 01/07/2010 09:12:26 AM 875 Views
I actually don't think Egwene knows who Cadsuane is. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/07/2010 01:20:15 PM 784 Views
You are probably correct darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 04:11:14 PM 712 Views
Actually, she does know... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 04:29:58 PM 745 Views
Re: Actually, she does know... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/07/2010 04:48:25 PM 737 Views
I very much doubt it darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 04:09:06 PM 770 Views
Cadsuane's "special" personality would certainly do the rest to impress Egwene very much.. *NM* Etzel - 01/07/2010 04:38:41 PM 831 Views
I don't find her any more intimidating than Romanda or Lelaine *NM* Sidious - 01/07/2010 05:56:59 PM 679 Views
That I don't agree with... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 06:27:33 PM 715 Views
Cadsuane is definitely more able Sidious - 01/07/2010 06:35:07 PM 798 Views
And thus more intimidating... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 06:55:52 PM 824 Views

Frankly, I think it will be like the first meeting of Cadsuane and Amys... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 04:38:17 PM 804 Views
I agree. I don't see any conflict arising between them. *NM* Deadsy - 02/07/2010 05:39:15 AM 378 Views
It would be like Shadar Logoth meeting the Shadow Knightscape - 30/06/2010 11:49:01 AM 811 Views

Hmm Demortae - 30/06/2010 05:17:02 PM 843 Views
I think there is a major reason she stays out of the Tower darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 05:29:53 PM 830 Views
Re: Hmm Lordling - 30/06/2010 06:02:22 PM 905 Views
I would like to see Caddy put Egwene in a headlock and make her cry...and suckerpunch Elayne, too... *NM* The Count - 02/07/2010 12:40:24 AM 368 Views
