My point... Kaldric Send a noteboard - 18/05/2011 02:21:56 PM
Egwene also gets some stuff wrong, like her having the Ageless look despite not having taken the Oaths. Nynaeve is also able to redirect a weave of saidin, something that we know is impossible. So I don't know if we can say with full confidence that the Queen is equal to the King in Malkier.

Though, the fact that the King's wife is the Queen, instead of being a consort, seems to imply it.


Aren't the archways closely related to Tel'aran'rhiod? If Egwene believed she would have the ageless look, she would have appeared to have it. Likewise, if Nynaeve believed she could redirect saidin, she would have been able to as easily as Perrin can deflect balefire there. At that point she didn't know enough about the Power to know that she couldn't do it, so she did.


Is that that, as Cannoli said above, settings and customs (the ki'sain, forceful turning to the dark side, and possibly Nynaeve's position as queen, for example) are generally accurate, but one's appearance and skills are determined by the person in Tel'aran'rhiod. Do we have an example of the setting being inaccurate while in TAR?

P.S. The "NSSP" is implied.

Of course, [Quixote] carried it a bit too far. He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be...

How dare you assume a king outranks an Aes Sedai in his own kingdom and palace?! Joel - 16/05/2011 03:22:19 AM 1021 Views

True, but Aes Sedai are more equal than others. *MN* Joel - 16/05/2011 09:11:40 PM 824 Views
Stop thinking with your chest hair! Nynaeve will rule no matter WHERE she is! Evil_Monkey - 16/05/2011 03:42:55 PM 1056 Views

Of course the setting is malleable in TAR. fionwe1987 - 19/05/2011 04:21:50 PM 935 Views
What we know about the Malkieri customs from NS seems to supports this too Zeratul - 17/05/2011 10:32:20 AM 1115 Views
