Re: I think this is Egwene... DomA Send a noteboard - 28/11/2012 03:54:09 PM
I think this is Egwene, speaking to Egeanin, who may well have visited Shara. Something of the semi-formality mixed with curiosity says Egwene to me.


Egeanin comes from a military (naval), not trading, family. She never mentionned her father, always her mother who was a Hand of the Empress at Sea. There's no reason to believe she's been to Shara. What we know of her youth is that she entered the Seanchan navy very young and rose through the ranks, shining enough to be chosen for the Return.

I hardly imagine Egwene warming up to Egeanin nearly enough to chat with her about her childhood anyway.

Egwene viscerally hates the Seanchan (they're her blindspot like Aes Sedai are Tuon's, she can barely even consider they're not all bad), she'll be even more reserved and cool than Nynaeve toward Egeanin, not to mention that Egeanin herself is not sociable and has never been one to share anecdotes, not even with Bayle Domon.

Not that Egwene necessarily will spend much time with Egeanin. Egeanin's there to provide Egwene with what she needs to hatch a scheme that will destroy the sul'dam/damane system and Tuon's rule in a matter of weeks or so. Egeanin's return to the south could even be necessary for the plans to work.

The whole idea of "Farstrider's son" sounds silly, if you ask me - 28/11/2012 03:23:11 AM 1422 Views

well isn't wild speculation part of the reason for a discussion forum? - 28/11/2012 04:00:35 PM 915 Views
could be a mocking quote - 28/11/2012 04:41:36 PM 1096 Views
Possibly to the Sea Folk *NM* - 28/11/2012 04:45:30 PM 575 Views

that is a good observation and explains the tone of the sentence *NM* - 28/11/2012 07:43:06 PM 552 Views
I like it. *NM* - 28/11/2012 08:24:58 PM 540 Views
That makes me feel better. - 29/11/2012 02:59:15 PM 939 Views
Berelain or an Aiel - 29/11/2012 06:01:48 AM 979 Views
Day#3 This one sounds like something Loial would tell to Perrin - 28/11/2012 07:34:09 PM 1136 Views
Day #4: "Pass his bond to me." --- Moraine to Alanna? *NM* - 29/11/2012 05:22:01 PM 626 Views
Re: Day #4: "Pass his bond to me." --- Moraine to Alanna? - 29/11/2012 05:55:22 PM 961 Views
No, I think it is Egwene demanding it from Alanna, or Elayne... - 29/11/2012 06:27:59 PM 1084 Views
Egwene to Alanna, IMO. - 29/11/2012 07:00:01 PM 1298 Views
Highly doubtful... - 29/11/2012 07:14:33 PM 1084 Views
Regarding Rand "tracking her actions", she can mask the bond to take care of that. *NM* - 29/11/2012 07:45:03 PM 672 Views
That masking works both ways... *NM* - 29/11/2012 07:49:41 PM 544 Views
Does it? Have we seen a Warder who can mask the bond from his owner? - 29/11/2012 07:54:17 PM 900 Views
Most warders aren't channelers... Min can't mask and she is the bonder in the situation and then - 29/11/2012 08:05:53 PM 1142 Views
You're right, most aren't channelers... - 29/11/2012 08:22:04 PM 916 Views
That's because you see it as a leash... - 03/12/2012 10:45:17 PM 980 Views
well it can be a leash, but that's up to the bond holder - 03/12/2012 10:56:49 PM 1001 Views
where have we seen this emotional and physical stress that was related at all to the bond? *NM* - 04/12/2012 12:08:23 AM 611 Views
Eylas comes to mind - 04/12/2012 04:31:17 AM 768 Views
Even Cadsuane speaks of "taming" men who are bonded... - 04/12/2012 06:31:25 AM 996 Views
No argument from me on most of this - 04/12/2012 04:36:28 PM 1076 Views
Moiraine and Myrelle seem to have a similar view... - 04/12/2012 12:10:05 AM 1094 Views
Mostly agreed - 04/12/2012 04:34:47 AM 992 Views
Hmmm... - 29/11/2012 08:42:25 PM 993 Views
I think Aviendha (she told Min about it) is simply ignorant about the mechanics of masking *NM* - 30/11/2012 03:44:01 AM 596 Views
Elayne told Min... - 30/11/2012 05:07:44 AM 847 Views
You are correct ... Min told Aviendha! - 30/11/2012 03:59:27 PM 910 Views
Re: You are correct ... Min told Aviendha! - 30/11/2012 04:04:53 PM 993 Views
Nope.. - 30/11/2012 08:56:59 PM 841 Views
this is the scene I'm referring too ... but it DID work for Aviendha - 30/11/2012 10:19:21 PM 978 Views
Thanks to both of you for digging this up... - 01/12/2012 04:01:48 AM 948 Views

About Alanna, that isn't right... - 01/12/2012 05:51:03 AM 887 Views
It most certainly is... - 01/12/2012 03:52:45 PM 964 Views
Yet Min holds Rands Bond *NM* - 01/12/2012 05:48:39 AM 529 Views
And? What does that prove? - 01/12/2012 05:53:43 AM 992 Views
I think we do know a couple of things - 01/12/2012 03:32:09 PM 880 Views
Ah, then yes, we're on the same side of this argument. - 01/12/2012 11:08:23 PM 925 Views
You still haven't addressed the main point... - 02/12/2012 03:01:32 AM 986 Views
Hmmm - 01/12/2012 04:22:26 AM 922 Views
I'm pretty sure Elayas can't mask the bond either ... I'd have to go look, but I think there - 30/11/2012 03:41:51 AM 942 Views
Something when he's talking to Perrin? - 30/11/2012 07:25:33 PM 886 Views

Day #5 - What!?!?!?! - 30/11/2012 05:46:44 PM 1041 Views
I really want that to be a sarcastic moment between Mat and Egwene *NM* - 30/11/2012 06:06:18 PM 449 Views
This sounds like Moiraine to me...possibly dry and sarcastic... - 01/12/2012 04:05:21 AM 937 Views
Who whispers sarcastically though? - 01/12/2012 04:29:30 AM 904 Views
Many people do... - 01/12/2012 05:47:06 AM 1004 Views
Not seeing it in the situation you wrote. Sorry. - 01/12/2012 03:57:32 PM 953 Views
Of course you don't. In your world, Egwene will glare at Tuon and Tuon will drop to her knees.... - 01/12/2012 11:13:53 PM 1083 Views
What's that got to do with anything? - 02/12/2012 03:00:08 AM 1145 Views
Hmm yeah sounds more like Moiraine or possibly Nynaeve *NM* - 01/12/2012 07:03:42 AM 590 Views

Demandred wouldn't be seen using the Ways himself! - 04/12/2012 09:04:06 PM 1000 Views
My thought was Ituralde finding out about Caemlyn - 05/12/2012 12:11:03 AM 1254 Views
Yup ... And I suspect we'll be seeing several more attacks like this - 05/12/2012 12:14:34 AM 1014 Views
