The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power.

Seanchan is in utter ruin because the empire is so precariously ruled. It's a horrible totalitarian government that makes the Westland nations look positively benevolent by comparison.
The wetlands (I will not use "Westlands" until the books do, ESPECIALY when distinguishing that region from a place even further west) are little better. Set aside the channelers and you have all sorts of injustices and social stratification. Except for when the main characters step in, nobles pretty much run roughshod over commoners anyway, though in Seanchan, we see that even the slaves have legal protection against abuse.

Hopefully the Dragon's Peace (not the one Avi saw the effects of) those concerns. *NM*

Rand deserves some credit, he did get involved early and held the Lion Throne for Elayne. *NM*

Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance.

It's not the Empire's fault, and that flaw is not being duplicated in the wetlands

It's like you don't even read anything when you post. My posts, the books themselves...

The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan.

That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern

If we're going to personify things, we should be personifying the Wheel, not the Pattern.

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM*

Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed.
