A resounding "NO WAY". Egwene was against a fourth oath demanding obedience or fealty to the Amyrlin. How can you possibly think she would consider letting AS take an oath of fealty to the Empress? How could they do that and still maintain allegiance to the WT when their loyalties would be compromised?
I feel fairly confident that the Empire will see the Light and unleash female channelers before the series is over. Satelle Anan already started working on Tuon to this end, and I'm pretty sure this is why RJ sent her with Mat in the first place, otherwise, it was pointless for her to be there.

At the very least they'll decide not to leash anymore channelers, and free any damane who want to be free. I think we'll see a hint that the WT is going to have a sudden influx of sul'dam who've lost jobs, but we won't see that in the series.
This is only semi-related, but I think half of the reason Renna died is because RJ just couldn't see how to make it realistic that Egwene could ever forgive her. She'll definitely have trouble with Seta, but not quite as much.

wishful thinking if you ask me. The point is "freedom" from leashes. Having the take oaths is worse. *NM*

I think we already know Egwene's position on a "Fourth Oath"

I'd rather see them keep the a'dam, and just leash all the current sul'dam

Fortuona didn't save Egwene and a Fourth Oath to an Empress is worse than what Elaida wanted.

I don't know about being 'quick' - we've had at least 8 books to become familiar with the cultures

It refers to part of Egwene's dream that is yet unfulfilled. It COULD mean Tuon save her. *NM*
