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 4627 Views
There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 597 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 1178 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 1254 Views
As a complete outsider w/ no dog in this fight.... scalius - 28/04/2011 04:06:39 PM 1279 Views
Who said anything about him not presenting his argument well? darius_sedai - 29/04/2011 03:20:46 PM 1264 Views
Puns are pointless if the whole word is censored. *sigh* Cannoli - 28/04/2011 06:18:11 PM 1428 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 1188 Views
Sorry about that... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 1234 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 1144 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* AshaShan - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 838 Views
Great work, Cannoli Zeratul - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 1233 Views
Regarding the mother's permission.... Cannoli - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM 1286 Views
while i agree with you on most of this Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1327 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 1144 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* Zeratul - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 583 Views
Here's a scary thought redqueen - 28/04/2011 11:54:50 PM 1422 Views
OMGWTFBBQ!? Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 11:58:37 PM 1127 Views
you could say the same about a lot of the relationships in this series Ava - 28/04/2011 04:59:19 PM 1306 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 1341 Views

In regards to the letters... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1408 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject Zeratul - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 1193 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 1127 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1315 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 1107 Views
Marriage redqueen - 28/04/2011 08:27:53 PM 1121 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 1369 Views
Here's the thing though... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 1154 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. Cannoli - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1341 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 29/04/2011 10:52:03 PM 1096 Views
That's not really clear Zeratul - 29/04/2011 11:41:20 PM 1239 Views
Actually, it is... fionwe1987 - 30/04/2011 06:37:42 PM 1343 Views

Didn't Siuan, Gareth and Gawyn tell her about the Bloodknife they encountered? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/05/2011 02:33:08 PM 1131 Views

My two cents: yes, a little, maybe, and possibly not. newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 06:05:09 PM 1306 Views
Regarding your reference to another Emond's Fielder: What are you talking about? Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:06:13 PM 1178 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 599 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage Zeratul - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 1130 Views
Yes, but... redqueen - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 1167 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 1211 Views
Exactly redqueen - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 1074 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 1569 Views
Except... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:16:25 PM 1182 Views

Re: They were naive Cannoli - 29/04/2011 03:18:42 PM 1489 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 1351 Views

"McClellanesque", eh? I'll have to remember that one. Joel - 16/05/2011 12:12:23 AM 1452 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 1092 Views
I remember being blindsided by "The Talk" in tSR beetnemesis - 12/05/2011 05:04:08 PM 1115 Views
Thanks, (and no, you just become less and less astute as we move farther from fiction. ) Joel - 15/05/2011 11:46:41 PM 1453 Views
