Actually, if there is any truth to her Accepted test, he isn't THAT much in charge. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 17/05/2011 02:51:12 AM
That after Lan becomes King of Malkier, Nynaeve is going to be in charge in their bedroom?


*shudder*

The implication of Lan's comment to Nynaeve that they are not southlanders and mention of her coronation, is that in Malkier the wife of the King is Queen in truth and not merely queen-consort. The suggestion is that they reign as equals.

As far the reliability of the test, those have been shown to be fairly accurate on issues of the setting, if not people. Egwene learned the truth about converting channelers to the Shadow and Nynaeve seems to have picked up some accurate details about Malkieri fashion, so maybe Lan had the royal customs right. The fact that the queen get's an honorific "el" supports this, IMO.

How dare you assume a king outranks an Aes Sedai in his own kingdom and palace?! Joel - 16/05/2011 03:22:19 AM 827 Views

Of course the setting is malleable in TAR. fionwe1987 - 19/05/2011 04:21:50 PM 732 Views
What we know about the Malkieri customs from NS seems to supports this too Zeratul - 17/05/2011 10:32:20 AM 903 Views
