Seanchan equality before the law Zeratul Send a noteboard - 23/01/2011 04:09:54 PM
Where exactly in the books is stated that laws apply equally to everyone in the Seanchan Empire? My impression is that the Blood had quite a few privileges in this respect. True, they have no immunity against the Seekers, but that's because the Empress wants to keep them in check.

One example of their special status is that "no one may spill a drop of blood from one who is of the Blood", according to the Guide, including the Seekers. If a commoner looks into the eyes of someone of the Blood, he gets beaten as a matter of course and that's OK according to the law as far as we know.

I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first Deadsy - 23/01/2011 12:19:48 AM 1471 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 713 Views
You mean utter anarchy and a dangerously stratified society? Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 07:24:48 AM 1241 Views
The situation in Seanchan isn't that unique ranagrande - 23/01/2011 07:49:28 AM 1318 Views
Except with continous rebellion. Chas - 23/01/2011 12:13:17 PM 1319 Views
That's to be expected. ranagrande - 23/01/2011 12:56:07 PM 1241 Views
there's tons of problems there, but 20+ leaders/royals killed? Disaster anywhere... *NM* newyorkersedai - 23/01/2011 11:38:57 AM 656 Views
Funny; Caemlyn's succession crises aren't nearly as bad. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 11:00:45 PM 647 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 664 Views
The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power. Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:10:56 PM 1362 Views
Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance. Ghavrel - 28/01/2011 01:54:00 AM 1166 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 1467 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 1297 Views

The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan. Libby - 23/01/2011 10:59:33 AM 1375 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 1176 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 1211 Views

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM* Deadsy - 26/01/2011 12:14:19 AM 660 Views
Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/01/2011 04:03:22 PM 1150 Views
