If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ... ajfurst Send a noteboard - 16/12/2010 11:56:08 PM
Egwene on the other hand....if the Dark One had had a clue, he could have done as much damage if not more arguebly by focusing his efforts on Egwene instead of Rand throughout the books but that's here nor there at this point.

Yep, just think how well things would have gone if the Shadow had seen Elaida pulled down months earlier to let Egwene take charge. Even if she had subsequently purged the BA, imagine a confrontation between Mary Sue and Dark Rand. Whether Rand killed most of the AS or the AS shielded Rand (likely precipitating his followers to attack the Tower) it would have been all over for the Light.

Egwene, a poor leader? redhand - 16/12/2010 05:59:15 PM 2414 Views
Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician. lilltempest - 16/12/2010 08:21:13 PM 1588 Views

Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM* Lord Haart - 17/12/2010 02:10:20 AM 666 Views
Except Rand wouldn't go to the WT with Elaida in charge, without having to fight ajfurst - 17/12/2010 02:50:18 AM 1356 Views

I don't think the case can be made for Rand having it easy A Deathwatch Guard - 17/12/2010 11:04:58 PM 1150 Views
I would say that in the grand scheme of things, Rand's had good to balance out the bad. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 20/12/2010 06:27:35 PM 1143 Views
