Um, no newyorkersedai Send a noteboard - 23/01/2011 11:36:24 AM
just the top 5:

- slavery of non-channelers
- a megalomaniacal oligarchy that's developed fanatical devotion, and believes everyone belongs to them
- the wide (& horrible) use of terangreal to brainwash, hurt, and control for the creation of violent, will-less Power-wielding slaves
- a super-secret police striking fear into everyone
- national self-righteousness, superiority complex, and other stupid customs (no eye contact?)

Seanchan Takeover of Randland Mordie01 - 22/01/2011 11:25:36 PM 1984 Views
I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first Deadsy - 23/01/2011 12:19:48 AM 971 Views
Hopefully the Dragon's Peace (not the one Avi saw the effects of) those concerns. *NM* Japhy - 23/01/2011 03:21:04 AM 460 Views
You mean utter anarchy and a dangerously stratified society? Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 07:24:48 AM 751 Views
The situation in Seanchan isn't that unique ranagrande - 23/01/2011 07:49:28 AM 768 Views
Except with continous rebellion. Chas - 23/01/2011 12:13:17 PM 742 Views
That's to be expected. ranagrande - 23/01/2011 12:56:07 PM 739 Views
there's tons of problems there, but 20+ leaders/royals killed? Disaster anywhere... *NM* newyorkersedai - 23/01/2011 11:38:57 AM 377 Views
Funny; Caemlyn's succession crises aren't nearly as bad. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 11:00:45 PM 376 Views
Rand deserves some credit, he did get involved early and held the Lion Throne for Elayne. *NM* Libby - 24/01/2011 08:47:42 AM 402 Views
The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power. Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:10:56 PM 711 Views
Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance. Ghavrel - 28/01/2011 01:54:00 AM 633 Views
It's not the Empire's fault, and that flaw is not being duplicated in the wetlands Cannoli - 28/01/2011 11:24:00 PM 889 Views
Wait... the indegenous Seanchan haven't changed in a thousand years? fionwe1987 - 29/01/2011 02:09:05 AM 699 Views

It's like you don't even read anything when you post. My posts, the books themselves... Cannoli - 02/02/2011 06:41:10 PM 774 Views
They treat channelers like DOGS! so, No. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 23/01/2011 07:56:22 AM 385 Views
I treat my dog better *NM* Voscaia Sedai - 23/01/2011 10:28:08 AM 370 Views
Good point. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 24/01/2011 01:47:29 AM 395 Views
Dogs never broke the world or created Shadowspawn, so they have it coming *NM* Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:07:32 PM 356 Views
The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan. Libby - 23/01/2011 10:59:33 AM 823 Views
That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern Lord Haart - 23/01/2011 11:41:35 PM 683 Views
If we're going to personify things, we should be personifying the Wheel, not the Pattern. Ghavrel - 24/01/2011 12:13:49 AM 681 Views
I think it's interesting Libby - 24/01/2011 09:23:40 AM 697 Views
There has been ta'veren since Hawkwing and before the Triple. Lohikaarme - 28/01/2011 11:56:46 AM 687 Views

a) most of that is your own extrapolation, not shown in the text moratcorlm - 23/01/2011 04:56:14 PM 726 Views

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM* Deadsy - 26/01/2011 12:14:19 AM 381 Views
Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/01/2011 04:03:22 PM 612 Views
If OP still existed, you'd still have sparkers even "today". *NM* Myrdhyn - 26/01/2011 06:34:50 PM 359 Views
Not exactly; genetics are more complicated. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/01/2011 09:48:48 PM 661 Views
