That's not quite accurate. moratcorlm Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 01:22:26 AM
Egwene had no part in the brutal testing that the other Sisters used - apparently they got mad when Nynaeve broke the rules, and began to make the test more difficult because they were angry.
We don't actually know who is responsible for each torment. All we have are fragments, and some of those fragments lay the blame for the most painful at Egwene's feet. And even if what you say is completely truthful – evidently it wasn't out of line enough for virtuous Egwene or any of her partisans to object at the time. What does she say? "I couldn't be seen favoring you, but perhaps I should have put a stop to it." Yeah, I bet, you piece of shit.
all indications from their conversation was that Nynaeve understood why Egwene did so.
This is beside the point. One can understand perfectly well why someone does something and at the same time consider it inexcusable.

Egwene, a poor leader? redhand - 16/12/2010 05:59:15 PM 2644 Views
Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician. lilltempest - 16/12/2010 08:21:13 PM 1849 Views

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ... ajfurst - 16/12/2010 11:56:08 PM 1452 Views
Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM* Lord Haart - 17/12/2010 02:10:20 AM 800 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 1391 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 1393 Views
