Re: She has a pretty powerful weapon... moratcorlm Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 09:46:22 AM
The Wise Ones will completely support her, since they know, more than anyone else, that a Dreamer's interpretation is what counts.
The Dreamer had no interpretation. She simply remembered it during their meeting; maybe that was the correct allusion; maybe it's not. What matters is whether Egwene's Oath will let her say that with surety.
With all, or most, of the female channelers supporting Egwene, the nations will almost certainly go in her direction too.
Why? They owe fealty to Rand.

Now, I suspect you're right in part; Egwene and Tuon will confront Rand directly, and Rand is certainly wrong. But Egwene, of course, is wrong as well, and I don't really see why you deny that. I find it improbable that Jordan would have constructed her as a complete Mary Sue.

Egwene, a poor leader? redhand - 16/12/2010 05:59:15 PM 2339 Views
Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician. lilltempest - 16/12/2010 08:21:13 PM 1506 Views

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ... ajfurst - 16/12/2010 11:56:08 PM 1150 Views
Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM* Lord Haart - 17/12/2010 02:10:20 AM 624 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 1279 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 1080 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 1067 Views
