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.

*shrugs* ... the oaths are lame and so full of holes the only value they bring is - 07/12/2010 03:26:21 PM 909 Views
I wonder what would have happened if she refused and left the tower entirely. - 07/12/2010 03:30:58 PM 901 Views
I doubt they would have stopped her ... but there was no real reason for her to refuse the - 07/12/2010 03:34:20 PM 872 Views
no there wasn't a real reason for her to refuse. It'd still be interesting if she did *NM* - 07/12/2010 03:37:45 PM 426 Views
would have made for an interesting spin on the plot - 07/12/2010 05:37:31 PM 880 Views
How is she not a lead? - 07/12/2010 06:25:45 PM 827 Views
She has never really had her own unique plot line - 07/12/2010 06:34:40 PM 815 Views
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that - 07/12/2010 07:46:08 PM 854 Views
Nothing to really argue here except perspective ... to each their own *NM* - 07/12/2010 10:26:04 PM 414 Views

I think that is true of the testing not the Oaths - 08/12/2010 05:08:22 PM 819 Views
she shouldn't have, although I think they should trash the oaths in general - 07/12/2010 03:29:21 PM 824 Views
agreed! and I think Nynaeve's testing rather proved that point - 07/12/2010 03:35:38 PM 897 Views
Especially since Egwene herself didn't really think it necessary for herself to take the tests - 07/12/2010 03:43:18 PM 865 Views
well it looks like such a coalition is part of the plan - 07/12/2010 03:47:03 PM 855 Views
I meant one that would destroy the White Tower - 07/12/2010 03:53:35 PM 930 Views
ahh I see. well maybe they shall - 07/12/2010 04:00:52 PM 817 Views
She was always going to have to swear the Oaths - 07/12/2010 04:42:59 PM 846 Views

Ooops, double post! *NM* - 08/12/2010 02:58:01 PM 421 Views
And what? To miss all the awesomeness she had before/during/after the test? - 07/12/2010 06:27:23 PM 805 Views
I agree about the test, kind of. The Oaths was going too far. - 07/12/2010 07:02:43 PM 972 Views

It's supposed to be a required part of being Aes Sedai. - 08/12/2010 08:52:34 AM 802 Views
Has Egwene swore the Oaths? - 08/12/2010 03:11:37 PM 887 Views
Yes - she swore on the Oath Rod in TGS. *NM* - 08/12/2010 03:22:31 PM 466 Views
Love Nynaeve... - 10/12/2010 09:49:13 AM 782 Views
On the contrary, being Aes Sedai means she had to swear the Oaths. - 14/12/2010 04:53:28 AM 756 Views
