The 4 people who annoyed me the most in the Semirhage incident DeathwatchBob Send a noteboard - 07/10/2009 12:38:01 AM
4. Rand: As he did in Path of Daggers, he could have easily seized the source in private in order to hide his weakness. He does have some legitimate concerns about Lews Therin taking control, which is why Rand clocks in at #4

3. Cadsuane: She has a ter'angreal that blocks flows just like Mat's medallion. She wants Rand to be alive for the last battle. Despite these two facts, she does not lend the ter'angreal to Rand as the group walks into a situation everyone believes may be a trap. This has bugged me since it was revealed that she had this ter'angreal (she knows that Rand will fight the forsaken), but I digress. If the meeting is an ambush, there are pretty much two options: the Seanchan want to capture Rand or the Seanchan want to kill Rand. Either way, Rand is the obvious target*.

2. Nynaeve: She's on this list for the same reason as Cadsuane. The main reason Nynaeve annoys me more is that she would want Rand to live even if he was not the dragon reborn. Also, as a minor point, Nynaeve has shown herself willing to lend out her weave-breaker ter'angreal to Alivia - Nynaeve's PoVs show that she isn't exactly buddy-buddy with Alivia.

1. Min: Almost everyone is annoyed with Min for demanding to be present during this event, but I'll elaborate anyway. In Min's defense, her ability to view the Seanchan would be useful. On the other hand, if the meeting is a trap she would be a liability. I'd be more sympathetic towards Min if everyone but Admiral Akbar wasn't claiming that the meeting was a trap.

* Earlier in the series, Mat actually does this. As soon as he finds out about Moghedien, he goes to Eylane, who by the way isn't exactly #1 on his friends list, and offers her or Nynaeve the medallion.

- Note on 2 and 3: Yes, if either of these scenarios happened then Rand would have to wear girly jewelry. If that really bothered him, he could always wear the piece on a necklace hidden under his shirt.

1. Maybe the ter'angreal only work for women. 2. Mat is a better person than any of them *NM* - 07/10/2009 02:14:30 AM 366 Views
I always assumed that the ter'angreal only worked with women, as well. - 07/10/2009 04:15:02 PM 563 Views
That is what I assumed as well. - 08/10/2009 06:22:42 AM 515 Views
