Not the same thing darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/10/2012 09:44:43 PM
Perhaps if you spent a minute thinking of the question instead of how to best make yourself sound more intelligent you would realize that Shadow prophesy and corrupted Light prophesy are very different things. The Seanchan are clearly working off the same general Prophesies of the Dragon with certain key elements changed. NOT Shadow prophesy. No one is questioning the veracity of the Shadow prophesy. The question is which Light Prophesy has been altered in order to make for conflict.

The Seanchan are designed to be a repulsive society. Slavery and an oppressive caste system are hardly meant to engender warm and fuzzy feelings. Unless of course you are a sociopath.

It may be that there are damane with greater control of the Foretelling Talent ... We've seen at least one who seems to be able to call them up on demand ... But that is NOT the same as the Omens that Tuon and Selucia follow ... These seem more like folklore on the surface, counting ants, owls hooting and such ... But could well be more akin to what the Two Rivers Wisdoms do to fake the ability to Listen to the Wind. These are not in any way linked to the Power, but may have legitimate sill ... Even though we know when something doesn't happen according to the Omen people assume the individual read it wrong. Tuon says as much when she says "Selucia must have counted the ants wrong".

The thing is Elaida had no experience in the arena at all - 15/10/2012 03:25:10 AM 1317 Views
IT IS NOT THE TOWER'S DAMNED JOB! She had more than enough credentials for ANDOR - 15/10/2012 03:45:15 AM 1400 Views
Nope. Every other advisor we've seen has been sent from TV - 15/10/2012 03:50:07 AM 1351 Views
Those are not official advisers, those are ambassadors! - 15/10/2012 04:17:51 AM 1407 Views
So now you are saying that Elaida was a personal advisor not an envoy of the Tower? - 15/10/2012 04:22:31 AM 1331 Views
Finally! I was beginning to despair of your literacy! - 15/10/2012 04:34:18 AM 1392 Views

Re: Was Sheriam ranking? Would many of them have met her? Not everyone even gets to meet the SC. - 15/10/2012 03:52:39 AM 1386 Views

Galina isn't young. *NM* - 17/10/2012 03:24:30 AM 852 Views
Yes she is - 17/10/2012 03:46:39 PM 1390 Views
85 years being BA, 90 years as a sister does not qualify her as a "young AS" - 18/10/2012 05:35:33 PM 1359 Views
