I think Egwene is successful and Rand has to go to the Seanchan for female channeler assistance Logain Send a noteboard - 18/12/2010 12:47:54 AM
My theory is that Egwene is successful in convincing enough people to stop Rand that he has to go to the Seanchan for help. I think that in demand for female channelers to assist Rand in resealing the bore that in return Tuon demands that Rand submit to her authority, e.g. publicly acknowledge her and bow before her (that sort of thing). In addition, I think Rand demands the Seanchan covenant not to attack further nations in the Westlands and demands that the Seanchan not take female channelers except in the lands they already occupy now.

Then Rand, with the help of Seanchan female channelers, defeats the Dark One, saving humankind. This also happens to fulfill Egwene's dream of being rescued by a Seanchan. If the Seanchan hadn't helped Rand nobody would have beaten the DO and Egwene would end up dead. Thus, the Seanchan saved her (and the rest of the world). At some point after the DO is resealed, the White Tower and the rest of the world come to the knowledge that they almost caused the destruction of the world by opposing Rand's plan and supporting Egwene. They are all thankful to the Seanchan and this is enough for them to support the peace that Rand negotiated with the Seanchan.

I think people aren't giving Egwene enough credit. - 15/12/2010 04:59:09 AM 1684 Views
She's not bringing everyone for a discussion, but for leverage to force him to change his mind. - 19/12/2010 09:54:49 PM 1607 Views

That's a new one to me - 20/12/2010 09:45:09 AM 1551 Views

Sadly, the thing you reference four times isn't actually anywhere in the book. - 29/12/2010 03:17:15 AM 1847 Views

Dear lord, you wrote the Egwene haters' ultimate fantasy right there - 19/12/2010 01:41:55 AM 1566 Views
Don't think of use as Egwene haters... - 19/12/2010 04:32:11 AM 1525 Views
One problematic issue...This assumes the Dark One cannot hold himself back once the Seals are broken - 15/12/2010 07:57:53 AM 1755 Views
Err, it's the other way around - 15/12/2010 09:00:38 AM 1614 Views
I see. It's the same thing, really, just looking at it from the opposite perspective... - 15/12/2010 09:14:22 AM 1693 Views
Don't you know it's all about the posturing - 15/12/2010 09:40:15 AM 1697 Views

While I agree overall, I think this is a case where Rand/TDR mistakes his role - 15/12/2010 05:37:25 PM 1447 Views
I don't see why Egwene would oppose his plan - 15/12/2010 06:17:47 PM 1478 Views
I don't think that's the issue. - 15/12/2010 07:31:03 PM 1565 Views

That's just it: Egwene is not only wrong, she's narratively wrong. - 19/12/2010 11:30:35 PM 2033 Views

It seems an odd oversight, yes; I can't even recall her being Delved when the truth was revealed. - 29/12/2010 12:40:00 PM 1521 Views
Ensure this value has at most 100 characters (it has 101). - 29/12/2010 03:00:22 PM 3233 Views
Ah, good point; Rand might have to do the job himself. - 29/12/2010 06:43:44 PM 1496 Views
More likely to be Flinn. - 29/12/2010 08:18:19 PM 1547 Views
Maybe, once he knows the signs and techniques. - 30/12/2010 03:10:27 PM 1521 Views
Not sure if Rand had seized the source yet - he wouldn't have wanted to do it in front of Ramshalan - 30/12/2010 03:15:43 PM 1453 Views
Good point, too. - 30/12/2010 03:17:06 PM 1456 Views
