That would have been good - I think she was probably the only woman with such an opportunity Cannoli Send a noteboard - 07/12/2010 10:59:50 PM
I would have guessed that any woman who kept her head down and mouth shut and then after completing the tests, sprung her bombshell that she had no intention of becoming Aes Sedai, thank you very much, that she considered all the work they got got out of her for the last few years fair trade for their teaching, and she would just be on her way now - such a woman would have been bundled off to a farm for a few decades of penance under the most nasty, uptight, need-to-get-laid-bad Red Sisters, until they were sure she was disabused of such notions and ready to be a proper sister.

Likewise for any Aes Sedai queen who tried to assert her independance and customary privacy for her own affairs. Elayne and Nynaeve had prime opportunities and have/are going to piss them away.

Nynaeve should not have been made to swear the Oaths Cannoli - 07/12/2010 03:12:00 PM 1841 Views

*shrugs* ... the oaths are lame and so full of holes the only value they bring is darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:26:21 PM 837 Views
I wonder what would have happened if she refused and left the tower entirely. LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:30:58 PM 831 Views
I doubt they would have stopped her ... but there was no real reason for her to refuse the darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:34:20 PM 788 Views
no there wasn't a real reason for her to refuse. It'd still be interesting if she did *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:37:45 PM 389 Views
would have made for an interesting spin on the plot darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 05:37:31 PM 792 Views
How is she not a lead? moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 06:25:45 PM 755 Views
She has never really had her own unique plot line darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 06:34:40 PM 723 Views
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 07:46:08 PM 777 Views
Nothing to really argue here except perspective ... to each their own *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 10:26:04 PM 384 Views

Personally, I think it would have been a brillaint twist if Nyneave didn't become Aes Sedai *NM* Variant - 08/12/2010 12:02:05 AM 427 Views

I think that is true of the testing not the Oaths darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:08:22 PM 739 Views
she shouldn't have, although I think they should trash the oaths in general LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:29:21 PM 752 Views
agreed! and I think Nynaeve's testing rather proved that point darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:35:38 PM 813 Views
Especially since Egwene herself didn't really think it necessary for herself to take the tests RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 03:43:18 PM 787 Views
well it looks like such a coalition is part of the plan LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:47:03 PM 775 Views
I meant one that would destroy the White Tower RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 03:53:35 PM 834 Views
ahh I see. well maybe they shall LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 04:00:52 PM 737 Views
I agree with you. Hopefully Post LB there will be a new structure to the AS organization darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 05:34:01 PM 708 Views
She was always going to have to swear the Oaths redqueen - 07/12/2010 04:42:59 PM 769 Views

The only problem with that scenario was that Nynaeve had stuff to do, and could not as Accepted Cannoli - 09/12/2010 01:09:45 AM 828 Views
And what? To miss all the awesomeness she had before/during/after the test? Skeeve the Great - 07/12/2010 06:27:23 PM 720 Views
I agree about the test, kind of. The Oaths was going too far. DomA - 07/12/2010 07:02:43 PM 878 Views

It's supposed to be a required part of being Aes Sedai. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 08/12/2010 08:52:34 AM 690 Views
Has Egwene swore the Oaths? guttering flame - 08/12/2010 03:11:37 PM 812 Views
Yes - she swore on the Oath Rod in TGS. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/12/2010 03:22:31 PM 432 Views
Love Nynaeve... Hot Pie - 10/12/2010 09:49:13 AM 699 Views
On the contrary, being Aes Sedai means she had to swear the Oaths. Joel - 14/12/2010 04:53:28 AM 683 Views

Actually I'm not being flippant guttering flame - 15/12/2010 05:58:22 AM 707 Views
They believe Oaths necessary, thus an Aes Sedai refusing sets herself apart from and above the rest. Joel - 16/12/2010 02:26:45 PM 1160 Views
So? Cannoli - 15/12/2010 11:40:32 AM 772 Views
From the standpoint of actually changing Tower rules and traditions I agree with you. Joel - 16/12/2010 02:13:44 PM 1148 Views
