Re: I'd advise a re-read. Of ToM, and maybe the whole series... Lohikaarme Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 09:08:20 PM
That's like asking what the Dragon contributed except Sealing away the DO...
Incidentally, she finished the Shadow, once LTT sealed the DO.


Or, perhaps, we could bear in mind that the sane LTT said the women of AoL were wise to refuse to support his plan?


Egwene is committed to stopping something SHE'S decided is unthinkable,

Because the Pattern showed her so...
In a Dream. Dreams are not certain, especially now that the pattern is loose.


You mean the logic of the plot, facts about Dreaming, etc. are all wrong, and RJ intended to break the rules he himself made, and he also secretly told you this? 8}
One of the rules being that Dreams tell about possibilities?



How does her dream show any such thing? It shows Rand breaking Selas and dooming the world. Egwene's reaction isn't even in it!
Ok, now I'll have to check the book when I get it back, but as I recall it wasn't dooming the world, just something terrible happening. The DO being as free as during tWoP is certainly terrible, but also necessary to repair its prison.
I admit I'm looking at this from a readers point of view, rather than Egwenes. But Egwene would have the world do what the WT has tried to do for 3000 years, try to desprately hold the current situation. And where's that got them? a constant decline for 3000 years.


Just that it happens. Its other stuff that hints at the results...

If the result is what you suggest Rand might just do what he threatens to: leave the world to fend for itself. Take off with Min with him and spend the last days in peace?
Stuck in Finnland!

Egwene, a poor leader? redhand - 16/12/2010 05:59:15 PM 2337 Views
Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician. lilltempest - 16/12/2010 08:21:13 PM 1505 Views

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ... ajfurst - 16/12/2010 11:56:08 PM 1148 Views
Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM* Lord Haart - 17/12/2010 02:10:20 AM 623 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 1276 Views

She has the same power base as any Amyrlin - the Aes Sedai, the artisans, Guards & citizens of TV RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2010 05:51:20 PM 1155 Views
Ta'veren vs. Mary Sue lilltempest - 17/12/2010 07:33:28 PM 1544 Views
I see them as being the same thing. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2010 08:11:30 PM 1167 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 1078 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 1065 Views
