Actually, it is... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 30/04/2011 06:37:42 PM
The Bloodknife which Gawyn encountered first was probably just scouting the area and not about to make an assassination attempt. It makes no sense to attack the Amyrlin on his own when there were three others Bloodknives still alive at that time. They probably knew about the possibility of wards too.

I'd say the main reason Egwene came close to being killed was that whole plan with the wards and using herself as bait had a huge glaring hole. She should've simply secretly Traveled to a safe location every night (one of the hundreds empty apartments in the Tower, for example) and not risk herself, and then Travel back to her rooms if the wards were activated. But why use common sense when you can rely on a plot armor and luck to save you? ;)


The Seanchan have never used wards. And as the sul'dam tells Gawyn, they test who they can kill easily.

What would have happened is that this Bloodknife would have tried to enter Egwene's room and would have been captured by the wards. Instead, Gawyn got captured by them, and the Bloodknives ended up figuring out how the wards work anyway.

There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 461 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 915 Views
Sorry about that... - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 977 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 703 Views
Great work, Cannoli - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 936 Views
Regarding the mother's permission.... - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM 999 Views
while i agree with you on most of this - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1064 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 843 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 452 Views

In regards to the letters... - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1102 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 919 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 884 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1037 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 836 Views

Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1057 Views
Here's the thing though... - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 889 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1052 Views

Didn't Siuan, Gareth and Gawyn tell her about the Bloodknife they encountered? - 02/05/2011 02:33:08 PM 876 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 872 Views
Yes, but... - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 914 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 948 Views
Exactly - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 793 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1248 Views

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1010 Views
