But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject Zeratul Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM
Gawyn is not a citizen of Tar Valon. At the time when the letters were written. he wasn't employed in any way by the White Tower - he was not a part of the Tower Guard, the Younglings were getting disbanded, and he was not a Warder or even in training for a Warder.

And this is not a routine letter between lovers/spouses about business matters which can be left to the secretary. They've had a major fight, and Gawyn was so hurt he left the Tower. Yet Egwene was callous enough that she didn't take 5 minutes to write a warmer and more polite letter asking him to come back even though she knew Silviana disliked Gawyn and would probably rudely order him.

Egwene vs. Gawyn (ToM spoilers of course) Cannoli - 28/04/2011 05:01:46 AM 4229 Views
There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 520 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 1045 Views
What is to discuss here? You hate Egwene and will spin anything to put her in a negative light darius_sedai - 28/04/2011 12:59:58 PM 1102 Views
As a complete outsider w/ no dog in this fight.... scalius - 28/04/2011 04:06:39 PM 1141 Views
Who said anything about him not presenting his argument well? darius_sedai - 29/04/2011 03:20:46 PM 1123 Views
Puns are pointless if the whole word is censored. *sigh* Cannoli - 28/04/2011 06:18:11 PM 1300 Views
But he's so good at it. all the pieces are in there and close to the right place... like a picasso. Onarishma - 03/05/2011 12:51:54 AM 1069 Views
Sorry about that... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 1107 Views
I'd say there's no need to take it so seriously when there's so few posts lately. You should see newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 05:59:19 PM 1015 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* AshaShan - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 758 Views
Great work, Cannoli Zeratul - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 1064 Views
Regarding the mother's permission.... Cannoli - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM 1130 Views
while i agree with you on most of this Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1188 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 968 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* Zeratul - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 504 Views
Here's a scary thought redqueen - 28/04/2011 11:54:50 PM 1281 Views

you could say the same about a lot of the relationships in this series Ava - 28/04/2011 04:59:19 PM 1147 Views
I agree there are plenty of underdeveloped and somewhat one-sided relationships in the series ßelals Girl - 28/04/2011 08:15:52 PM 1191 Views

In regards to the letters... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1240 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject Zeratul - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 1045 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 1002 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1164 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 961 Views
Marriage redqueen - 28/04/2011 08:27:53 PM 976 Views
Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1212 Views
Here's the thing though... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 1013 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. Cannoli - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1178 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 29/04/2011 10:52:03 PM 973 Views
That's not really clear Zeratul - 29/04/2011 11:41:20 PM 1107 Views
Actually, it is... fionwe1987 - 30/04/2011 06:37:42 PM 1149 Views

Didn't Siuan, Gareth and Gawyn tell her about the Bloodknife they encountered? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/05/2011 02:33:08 PM 1014 Views

My two cents: yes, a little, maybe, and possibly not. newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 06:05:09 PM 1152 Views
Regarding your reference to another Emond's Fielder: What are you talking about? Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:06:13 PM 1028 Views
both together, couldn't separate them in my mind - perrin's evasiveness or nyn's trickiness *NM* newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 10:16:57 PM 527 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage Zeratul - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 1005 Views
Yes, but... redqueen - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 1038 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything mazza3 - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 1077 Views
Exactly redqueen - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 937 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1397 Views
Except... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:16:25 PM 1031 Views

Re: They were naive Cannoli - 29/04/2011 03:18:42 PM 1294 Views
I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. Joel - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1193 Views

Good points all round (do you switch brains when getting into real world politics? ) & re: the Talk Cannoli - 12/05/2011 02:04:06 PM 965 Views
I remember being blindsided by "The Talk" in tSR beetnemesis - 12/05/2011 05:04:08 PM 983 Views
