Elaida has this to say about a new Oath:
"Doesn't it strike you as strange that the Three Oaths contain no mention of obedience to the White Tower? Sisters cannot lie, cannot make a weapon for men to kill other men, and cannot use the Power as a weapon against others except in defense. Those Oaths have always seemed too lax, to me. Why no Oath to obey the Amyrlin? If that simple promise were part of all of us, how much pain and difficulty could we have avoided? Perhaps some revision is in order."
Pretty ironic statement from a person who wouldn't be Amyrlin if that Oath was in effect when she successfully fomented a rebellion against the prior Amyrlin.
