...that ter'angreal throne is not in Randland and the Seanchan nations are considerably more orderly than those not Seanchan. This increases my respect for Tuon's administration.

It seems that beneathe the order keeping mechanisms of Seanchan society there is a great deal of economic freedom. The leashes are an order keeping mechanism, but the oath rod is a better one (than the leashes). Both confine the actions of channelers, but the oath rod allows for more flexibility of thought and action within channelers without enslaving them utterly or having to worry about suldam. Most vassals in most nations swear fealty to their ruler, the oath rod ensures that fealty sworn is fealty served.

Fortuona didn't save Egwene and a Fourth Oath to an Empress is worse than what Elaida wanted. - 09/12/2009 08:18:17 PM 733 Views
