Re: Neither is an atrocity... Knightscape Send a noteboard - 13/11/2009 08:59:30 PM
I can accept thousand mindless zombies dead as a cost for killing Graendal, as I can accept the death of a few Aes Sedai to keep Travelling from the Seanchan.

The true atrocity was the manner in which Rand killed all those zombies. It was insane to destabilize the Pattern in this fashion at this juncture where the DO is already weakening it.


As balefire is the only way to be sure a foresaken is killed, using it wasn't an atrocity, it was a necessity.

Both the actions of Rand and Egwene were necessary.
All good things come to those who wait.

Who performs the worst atrocity in this book: Egwene or Rand? (A good Cannoli question) Matrimony Cauthon - 13/11/2009 06:22:50 PM 1999 Views
Given the chance, Egwene would certainly have chosen death herself had she been captured Lordling - 13/11/2009 07:04:02 PM 743 Views
That doesn't make her right, it makes her a coward *NM* Cannoli - 13/11/2009 11:53:50 PM 448 Views
Your hatred and judgment of Egwene is obsessive and at times unreasonable. Like right now. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 14/11/2009 03:56:34 AM 412 Views
In this he his reasonable...I think he is mostly wrong with the statement, but it is reasonable *NM* RabidWombat - 14/11/2009 04:08:35 AM 302 Views

Teenagers at school didn't spend hours a day getting spanked. Repeatedly. For weeks straight. krassos - 20/11/2009 02:13:38 AM 535 Views

Except for the fact that she never served the Dark One. She was Black Ajah in name only. krassos - 21/11/2009 04:16:48 PM 534 Views
Not true. Verin did in fact serve the DO. She admited as much darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:28:56 AM 590 Views
