Has Egwene swore the Oaths? guttering flame Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 03:11:37 PM
Nynaeve was made a full Aes Sedai, absolutely and unconditionally, and retroactively attaching conditions to her keeping the shawl and title is absolutely no different than Elaida revoking the shawl from Shemerin or demanding the sisters swear an additional oath.


Of course it is. Those conditions were supposed to be attatched from the start. Allowing Nynaeve to continue to be a full Aes Sedai while not adhering to the conditions would be the same as redefining what the conditions are to become an Aes Sedai. This is something that Egwene does not have the power to do (and should not). Egwene only got away with it last time because it was politically convinient and raising Nynaeve properly was impossible at the time. And demands of the plot. You know how that works.

Nynaeve should not have been made to swear the Oaths Cannoli - 07/12/2010 03:12:00 PM 2028 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 985 Views
I wonder what would have happened if she refused and left the tower entirely. LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:30:58 PM 978 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 969 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 462 Views
would have made for an interesting spin on the plot darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 05:37:31 PM 967 Views
How is she not a lead? moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 06:25:45 PM 908 Views
She has never really had her own unique plot line darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 06:34:40 PM 932 Views
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 07:46:08 PM 928 Views
Nothing to really argue here except perspective ... to each their own *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 10:26:04 PM 455 Views
That would have been good - I think she was probably the only woman with such an opportunity Cannoli - 07/12/2010 10:59:50 PM 982 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 497 Views

I think that is true of the testing not the Oaths darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:08:22 PM 913 Views
she shouldn't have, although I think they should trash the oaths in general LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:29:21 PM 909 Views
agreed! and I think Nynaeve's testing rather proved that point darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:35:38 PM 972 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 957 Views
well it looks like such a coalition is part of the plan LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:47:03 PM 924 Views
I meant one that would destroy the White Tower RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 03:53:35 PM 1012 Views
ahh I see. well maybe they shall LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 04:00:52 PM 899 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 871 Views
She was always going to have to swear the Oaths redqueen - 07/12/2010 04:42:59 PM 930 Views

Ooops, double post! *NM* Evil_Monkey - 08/12/2010 02:58:01 PM 457 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 1024 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 880 Views
I agree about the test, kind of. The Oaths was going too far. DomA - 07/12/2010 07:02:43 PM 1054 Views

It's supposed to be a required part of being Aes Sedai. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 08/12/2010 08:52:34 AM 922 Views
Has Egwene swore the Oaths? guttering flame - 08/12/2010 03:11:37 PM 971 Views
Yes - she swore on the Oath Rod in TGS. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/12/2010 03:22:31 PM 496 Views
Love Nynaeve... Hot Pie - 10/12/2010 09:49:13 AM 870 Views
On the contrary, being Aes Sedai means she had to swear the Oaths. Joel - 14/12/2010 04:53:28 AM 838 Views

Actually I'm not being flippant guttering flame - 15/12/2010 05:58:22 AM 871 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 1347 Views
So? Cannoli - 15/12/2010 11:40:32 AM 930 Views
From the standpoint of actually changing Tower rules and traditions I agree with you. Joel - 16/12/2010 02:13:44 PM 1352 Views
