Cadsuane blackmailing Narishma and the others Legolas Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 12:13:58 AM
This may well have been discussed many times, but I'm on a aCoS-and-onward reread and things are suddenly fitting together a lot more for me, so bear with me here. ;)

In WH, chapter 13, Wonderful News, Cadsuane comments that "Blackmail was a tool she disliked using, but she had already used it on the three Asha'man". One would guess based on the rest of the chapter that "the three Asha'man" are Narishma, Hopwil and Flinn, and that she blackmailed them into letting themselves be bonded. But what did she blackmail them with? Do we ever find out?

Maybe not that hard for Flinn... darius_sedai - 03/12/2009 01:52:17 AM 984 Views
That was Samitsu, which leads me to another question... Legolas - 03/12/2009 02:01:28 AM 903 Views

She'd be a poor choice anyway. Cannoli - 03/12/2009 03:33:10 AM 788 Views
But that hardly constitutes blackmail. Legolas - 03/12/2009 02:03:15 AM 929 Views
Do as I say or I will tell the Black Tower of your whereabouts ? *NM* Knightscape - 03/12/2009 02:59:25 AM 331 Views
can you imagine Cadsuane going to the BT ? I can't AgentOrange - 03/12/2009 04:10:43 PM 680 Views
She walked in on the Dragon Reborn. Great Lord of Chaos - 04/12/2009 03:18:13 AM 658 Views
Maybe a poor word choice, but that's basically what she did. You're right about Alanna not knowing. Cannoli - 03/12/2009 03:29:35 AM 685 Views
If that's the truth of the situation it's a good thing Chas - 03/12/2009 02:01:51 AM 785 Views
There's still no evidence that that applies to anyone but Rand. *NM* Onarishma - 03/12/2009 02:35:18 AM 316 Views
And there is no logical reason to assume he is unique. *NM* Cannoli - 03/12/2009 03:30:24 AM 300 Views
Beyond the fact that he is the prophecied savior of mankind? Gher - 04/12/2009 03:33:29 PM 585 Views
So the Power doesn't work around him? Why did Semirhage's fireball work and not Alanna's bond? *NM* Cannoli - 07/12/2009 11:18:32 AM 423 Views
I was kidding. Rand is unique, but not so much in this context. *NM* Gher - 08/12/2009 08:42:07 PM 261 Views

Except that all the Aes Sedai that been bonded by Asha'man can be compelled using the bond. Chas - 03/12/2009 01:26:24 PM 717 Views

Different type of compulsion. Chas - 04/12/2009 12:15:03 AM 661 Views
