..that allowed her to become Amyrlin. Perhaps there is no specification for the MoN to be Aes Sedai, simply a woman of the Amyrlin's appointment. Egwene has broken precedent by not taking the actual test for Aes Sedai herself but swearing the Oaths directly, so we might also see this happen again, although nearly all AS would agree that Egwene certainly passes any test that they could set for her.

But I still hold reservations on Sharina becoming MoN herself, even though she has the experience of her years and her skill demonstrated among the rebels. There would be resistance to that decision from the Hall and the Tower Aes Sedi, even among the rebels. Perhaps the route will be that no one woman will be responsible for all the novices and the accepted since there are now so many of them.

Oh, there might also be room for Darkfriends among the thousand novices that Egwene has among the rebels. I assume they escaped testing. On a similar note, when are the Kin arriving?
