your premise is that first generation applies to anyone but them. Onarishma Send a noteboard - 10/01/2011 09:25:02 PM
Do you expect the Aiel population to remain small after hundreds of years?
In Avi's vision, the first generation immediately after the LB has a large population, not just the later generations.


in order for that Queen to be Elayne's granddaughter that means Elayne's twins had to have died as well as Elayne herself. I find it hard to believe that not only did Elayne die "young" but also her first daughter. Avi's quads are paired with Elayne's grandaughter. That is evidence enough of a different time of birth at the least leaving at least a possible two normal generations and more than likely two channeling lifetimes to pass before the Quad's make their move. Now the peace treaty itself that avi's kids destroy is evidence enough that there should be no cause for Elayne or anyone else to die in battle as the Peace so to speak will be made at Merrilor prior to TG and that Elayne will obviously not have her babies for sometime after.

Says the person defending monarchies and oligarchies, some of them quite brutal. - 29/12/2010 02:12:56 PM 1638 Views
LoL. What is this "POV trap" that people refer to so often to make a point? - 29/12/2010 10:00:11 PM 1874 Views

Don't blame the Seanchan, The Aiel made an excuse to start a war. - 08/01/2011 09:20:36 AM 2014 Views

They are pretty close to evil. Slavery being the big thing, but the crushing social scale is far - 31/12/2010 06:45:59 PM 1477 Views
The Aiel sold slaves to Shara, does that make them evil? No society in Randland is without flaws. - 07/01/2011 05:10:32 AM 1858 Views
you are missing my point - 07/01/2011 11:31:11 PM 1629 Views
We haven't had a POV from a NON-high-ranking Seanchan - 08/01/2011 03:13:26 AM 25140 Views

I totally agree with your last point, which is why I think RJ set them up to be the "Evil Empire" - 22/01/2011 06:12:46 PM 1550 Views
They're not entirely evil though, and RJ has written them that way - 22/01/2011 08:02:22 PM 1522 Views
