he's saying that. Deadsy Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 10:12:16 PM

Elaida chose to let Alviarin do those things. She did that to save her ass from the punishment the Hall would mete out for her idiotic plans.


Not sure that's really Elaida's free-will making those decisions. In fact, she realizes they are blunders from the start. Not just the letter, but also publicly revealing the heads of the Ajahs.



he knows elaida agreed to obey. but he's saying that was her choice. elaida greed to obey alviarin to avoid being punished by the hall.
