I think her realizes now who Egwene really is LoialT Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 10:02:16 PM
So, chapter one is out, and I'm enormously pleased with the way it went.

Clearly, the "new" Rand is not a rehash of the bland Rand of EotW. And clearly, he's going to go talk to Egwene now.

But what about? Clearly, he doesn't expect her to be happy. It also looks like he at least knows she's in Tar Valon, or near it.

But he doesn't know how much she has changed, and she doesn't know how much he has changed.

I have a vague feeling neither is going to be as distressed at what the other has to say as they may imagine, though I do expect there to be disagreement.

Basically, I think Rand intends to tell Egwene she needs to get the Tower united. Which she has done already.

He may also tell her that the Seanchan have to be left alone for now. I think this is the part he anticipates her to dislike hearing. Maybe that'll happen, maybe not.

For her part, I think Egwene will have issues with the Black Tower and Taim.

Either way, it should be great to see them both together again after they've both changed so much.

Thoughts?


I don't know how widespread the theory is, but I have at least heard DomA suggest that Egwene is Latra Posae Decume reborn. Rand just had an experience in which he relived not just LTT's life, but countless others before. I can't imagine that he wouldn't walk away from that kind of vision without noticing some patterns, some perpetual antagonists, friends, enemies, challenges. If Egwene is LPD reborn, then the new Rand may have guessed it. He may realize that he has to tell LPD reborn that she needs to ally closely with the new 100 companions (Logain's Asha'man).

There are also all the reasons you just pointed out that Rand might grimace at the prospect of a meeting with Egwene, especially if he intends to make her back off the Seanchan (he was just there and saw how good their rule was for the land and people while she and her sisters just suffered tremendous loss and injury to the same benevolent dictators).

Pretty much - Egwene always wants to pin the blame on someone else; she won't appreciate correction Cannoli - 02/10/2010 08:30:02 PM 601 Views
Do you really think he'll tell her to back off the Seanchan? darius_sedai - 02/10/2010 09:33:06 PM 504 Views
We can hope. Cannoli - 02/10/2010 09:48:26 PM 552 Views
She'd be pissed just like everyone else in the series. darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 12:52:58 AM 532 Views
She has no reason to be pissed about being asked to follow Rand - but that won't stop her of course. ajfurst - 03/10/2010 12:57:48 PM 501 Views
So you would be fine if the leader of your country simply decided one day to follow someone else in darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 04:00:27 PM 487 Views
I'll bet Eggy gets ta'veren'd *NM* mogi67 - 05/10/2010 06:19:40 AM 208 Views
that would ruin her character just as much as it would have ruined Tuon's *NM* Deadsy - 05/10/2010 06:34:09 AM 210 Views
agreed darius_sedai - 05/10/2010 04:29:03 PM 397 Views
Maybe because they leash female channelers and practice chattel slavery? Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/10/2010 03:29:31 PM 546 Views
Yeah, a 50 year threat of nuclear war is so much better than an army that couldn't cross the Channel Cannoli - 06/10/2010 03:52:49 AM 585 Views
almost certainly Jim - 05/10/2010 04:26:43 AM 439 Views
Yes, but Tuon is now the aggressor darius_sedai - 05/10/2010 04:35:17 PM 464 Views
Calling her the agressor does not increase the threat. The situation is unchanged Cannoli - 07/10/2010 06:35:15 PM 491 Views
you know all those prophecies that say he will "bind the 9 moons to him"? darius_sedai - 07/10/2010 07:04:50 PM 437 Views
I ask again, what evidence is there of their corruption? Cannoli - 08/10/2010 01:56:49 AM 541 Views
We'll all find out soon enough about the truth of the prophecies. I admit that any of these options darius_sedai - 08/10/2010 02:47:10 AM 403 Views
that's why she won't like hearing it Jim - 07/10/2010 07:19:29 PM 430 Views
I'm not convinced he will at this point is what I'm saying darius_sedai - 07/10/2010 07:59:03 PM 535 Views
the Rand in chapter one seems likely to preach love not war Jim - 08/10/2010 05:32:21 AM 486 Views
They are on the offensive is the point. Even if Rand says not to attack them to Egwene darius_sedai - 08/10/2010 01:45:49 PM 439 Views
