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.

I don't particularly like Cadsuane either ... but she's done quite a few smart things... - 30/06/2010 04:11:55 PM 960 Views
She's also actually accomplised things in her life as well, unlike most Aes Sedai. - 01/07/2010 04:04:40 AM 976 Views
well she did have advantages with her ornaments - 01/07/2010 04:04:58 PM 1091 Views

you are probably right...but it doesn't stop me from hoping though. *NM* - 30/06/2010 04:11:37 PM 408 Views

I actually don't think Egwene knows who Cadsuane is. - 01/07/2010 01:20:15 PM 871 Views
You are probably correct - 01/07/2010 04:11:14 PM 770 Views

Cadsuane's "special" personality would certainly do the rest to impress Egwene very much.. *NM* - 01/07/2010 04:38:41 PM 891 Views
I don't find her any more intimidating than Romanda or Lelaine *NM* - 01/07/2010 05:56:59 PM 739 Views
That I don't agree with... - 01/07/2010 06:27:33 PM 774 Views
Cadsuane is definitely more able - 01/07/2010 06:35:07 PM 865 Views
