What's said above. Plus Lohikaarme Send a noteboard - 19/12/2010 11:00:42 AM

Tuon now doesn't have the whole Seanchan continent backing her. What she has is roughly 200K soldiers, Tarabon, Amadicia and Ebou Dar (none of which were major military powers save Amadicia, and their most significant military asset is now with Perrin), and an unspecified number of damane that is almost certainly smaller than the full number the Tower can field.

Plus, Egwene now has the beginnings of a working relationship with the WF and the WO, added to some influence with the DR, much influence with the rest of the Randland continent, the full backing of Andor-Cairhein... She's in sum, definitely more powerful than Tuon.
Tuon has near ultimate power where she has it. Egwene needs to bicker with the Hall, and ask for help she might not get.

It's like saying Estonia has greater military power than Russia, because they have NATO backing them.
Stuck in Finnland!

Egwene, a poor leader? redhand - 16/12/2010 05:59:15 PM 2537 Views
Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician. lilltempest - 16/12/2010 08:21:13 PM 1733 Views

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ... ajfurst - 16/12/2010 11:56:08 PM 1336 Views
Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM* Lord Haart - 17/12/2010 02:10:20 AM 740 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 1479 Views

Ta'veren vs. Mary Sue lilltempest - 17/12/2010 07:33:28 PM 1857 Views
I see them as being the same thing. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2010 08:11:30 PM 1416 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 1282 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 1270 Views
Funniest statement I've ever seen on here. Lord Haart - 18/12/2010 05:22:28 AM 1373 Views
