Kind of a hard oath to implement Ryan Send a noteboard - 04/12/2009 03:14:05 AM
I don't understand why the Aes Sedai don't simply take an Oath during their Oathing process that they will never do anything to help the Shadow. This would prevent them from unswearing an Oath for the purposes of the DO.

Let me give an example. You know, Lord so in so is a high ranking DF. You find out that an assassin is coming, but you need to question Lord so and so. You arrive in time to stop the assassin, however by doing so you help a known darkfriend, thus the Shadow.
The past is just that, the past. You can only truly live by looking to the future!

I'd think the lifespan and power a channeler has are both big factors Gher - 03/12/2009 10:31:54 PM 921 Views

I see no reason to believe Kari was a Darkfriend. Ishamael is a liar, and that's that. Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 01:19:00 AM 740 Views
Perhaps Ryan - 04/12/2009 03:10:23 AM 780 Views
The same could be said for the great majority of characters in the series. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 04:19:50 AM 330 Views
Also, think of the way Aes Sedai recruit. Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 01:17:37 AM 740 Views
In the Age of Legends, 50% of channelers turned to the Shadow, if memory serves. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 01:11:35 AM 345 Views
It makes you wonder if they knew the Dark One was "evil" Marshall - 04/12/2009 01:25:24 AM 838 Views

agreed. accepting that power comes at a price isn't evil. it's what drives people NOT to fail... Onarishma - 04/12/2009 08:51:01 AM 735 Views
