She also deposes Alviarin... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 10:47:07 PM

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.

She wasn't in any way enforced because when she found the way, she deposed Alviarin and then carried on letting the Tower get destroyed.
