No one else thinks Fain has had any influence on Elaida's erratic behavior? *NM* Matrimony Cauthon Send a noteboard - 25/09/2009 05:32:05 PM
Does anyone else think it is possible that a good part of Elaida's extreme behavior may stem from Padan Fain's Mordeth-suspicion rubbing off on Elaida?

Elaida was always a bit crazy, but her recent behavior reeks that she is not in her right mind. Just as Egwene noted, Egwene no longer needs to speed Elaida's descent as Amyrlin. Elaida is already doing that well enough herself.

How much of this be Fain's nature rubbing off on Elaida?
