Wait, what? Siuan learned to compromise?? when did that happen? her reputation within the Tower during her time as the Amyrlin Seat was that she trampled her opposition at slightest provocation. Her draconic "leadership" style was part of the reason why the rank and file Sitters agreed to depose her.

She was abrasive and forceful, but it's clear from all of her POVs that she's very savvy when it comes to matters political. I get the impression she took a 'divide and conquer' approach to the Hall. There's a POV from her in ToM recalling "playing the Ajah's against each other". Also, she was very young, not just as an Amyrlin, but as an Aes Sedai, and her inexperience may have made her harsher than she needed to be.

Yes she was very young but then to be fair, so was Elaida. She only has a decade or two on Siuan/Moiraine when you are supposed to be 100+ just to get into the Hall




Surprised that Elaida never considered going Black on her own, without even being approached.


Given that she never believed they existed to start with, it's kind of hard to search them out.

Even before she became a caricature, she didn't exactly look all that capable - 10/04/2011 08:24:48 PM 832 Views

Those traits prevent her from being a good leader. Maybe she'd become a good Sister in time. - 11/04/2011 06:11:06 PM 712 Views
