The Westland nations (I WON'T USE WETLANDS BECAUSE THERE'S AN OCEAN AND IT'S WETTER THAN THE "WETLANDS." ), typically having a much less centralized state, are more secure in the event of many leaders dying. The historic suceession crises of Andor do not seem to be close to what Seanchan is experiencing.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first

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

You mean utter anarchy and a dangerously stratified society?

there's tons of problems there, but 20+ leaders/royals killed? Disaster anywhere... *NM*

Funny; Caemlyn's succession crises aren't nearly as bad. *NM*

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

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

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...

They treat channelers like DOGS! so, No. *NM*

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.
