and it's not just Egwene! darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/09/2010 02:11:16 PM
And if the city had been immaculate, she'd have scoffed at Elaida for wasting time on that with Tarmon Gaidon ahead.

I think she would understand some of the health implications.

And although Aes Sedai normally shouldn't have any trouble whatsoever dealing with little things like cholera, it's different if there is not enough food (which was the case, with all the food rotting away), since the Healing won't work as well.


You don't need any special training to see that garbage in the street will kill people after a few weeks. After a major disaster in our own world the first thing that sets in is cholera.

Also, it's not like the whole White Tower is making a drive to clean the sewers. Like most things, Egwene noticed it in passing and decided to fix it but it's been heralded as her sole driving force.


Elayne deals with it in Caemlyn ... it's specifically called out by Norry that she must see to the city sewers because of rat infestations.

And even Elaida called it out in KOD

The Dark One's Touch

Scanning the second report, she grimaced. No one liked sewers, yet they were one-third of the life’s blood of a city, the other two being trade and clean water. Without the sewers, Tar Valon would become prey to a dozen diseases, overwhelming anything the sisters could do, not to mention even more malodorous than the rotting garbage must have made the streets already. Though trade was cut to a trickle for the moment, the water still came in at the upriver end of the island and was distributed to watertowers throughout the city, then to fountains, ornamental and plain, that anyone was free to use, but now it seemed the sewer outlets on the downriver end of the island were nearly clogged. Dipping her pen in the ink jar, she scrawled I WANT THESE CLEARED BY TOMORROW across the top of the page and signed her name below. If the clerks had any sense, the work was already underway, but she never accused clerks of having much sense.

But it seems when Egwene must do things other rulers do she's a douche bag.

That whole post is stupid, you can't compare Rand's ordeal to Egwene's. Lord Haart - 05/09/2010 10:14:43 PM 1409 Views
its a joke, shhhh *NM* Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 10:36:28 PM 897 Views
No, it's clever and tongue-in-cheek. *NM* newyorkersedai - 05/09/2010 11:04:26 PM 711 Views
Too bad! He has trumped any attempt to counter his arguments by calling it humor! Shut up now. *NM* Cannoli - 06/09/2010 01:00:49 AM 826 Views

the humor here is that you think you understand accurracy, improvement, characterization or humor! *NM* darius_sedai - 06/09/2010 01:56:57 AM 685 Views

Like Egwene understands the health implications! It's all about the aesthetics for her. Cannoli - 09/09/2010 12:35:57 AM 1284 Views
Well, she was an apprentice wisdom with Nynaeve for a while BlackAdder - 09/09/2010 05:33:25 AM 1235 Views
An idiot would understand the implications Sidious - 09/09/2010 07:38:57 AM 1200 Views

all of you are most correct! darius_sedai - 11/09/2010 07:53:44 PM 1179 Views
When exactly have I ever given someone else a pass for "necessary actions" I blamed Egwene for? Cannoli - 14/09/2010 02:08:29 AM 1442 Views
A few days back... fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 04:03:41 AM 1270 Views
Yes, those are completely different scenarios. Cannoli - 14/09/2010 05:36:30 AM 1780 Views
Misinterpretations... fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 07:26:11 AM 1179 Views
How can you claim Verin merely "helped" Egwene? Cannoli - 15/09/2010 06:35:47 AM 1734 Views
Holy carp. I prefer my form of arguing. I make an *NM* post and then he calls me a name *NM* Deadsy - 15/09/2010 06:47:08 AM 659 Views
I'm not even going to bother with that anymore. *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/09/2010 05:55:08 PM 667 Views

So your defense of Egwene is to refute her accusation against her rival? Cannoli - 14/09/2010 02:12:22 AM 1284 Views

No, I made MY point, and your refusal to admit to the slightest fault of Egwene proves MY point *NM* Cannoli - 15/09/2010 01:17:21 AM 644 Views

So much venom. Maybe you should take a break one of these days, Cannoli. At this rate... lord-of-shadow - 08/09/2010 12:16:05 AM 1312 Views
I'm not the one posting to undercut the hero, while calling it humor to duck critical response *NM* Cannoli - 09/09/2010 12:37:07 AM 813 Views
