The "Binder" is another form of Slavery. darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 09/12/2009 11:54:51 PM
No matter how you sugar coat it as being better than the a'dam... you are forcing a specific group of people to put restrictions on their behavior.

The difference in AS and damane at the moment is that an AS chooses to Bind herself, if that choice is taken away, it's no less slavery than the leash.

wishful thinking if you ask me. The point is "freedom" from leashes. Having the take oaths is worse. *NM* amirebram - 09/12/2009 07:46:35 PM 355 Views

I'd rather see them keep the a'dam, and just leash all the current sul'dam imlad - 18/12/2009 03:04:22 AM 977 Views
Fortuona didn't save Egwene and a Fourth Oath to an Empress is worse than what Elaida wanted. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/12/2009 08:18:17 PM 826 Views
True, but... artois - 09/12/2009 10:02:13 PM 768 Views

I don't know about being 'quick' - we've had at least 8 books to become familiar with the cultures RugbyPlayingAshaman - 11/12/2009 03:18:32 PM 876 Views

When did Tuon save Egwene ? *NM* Simon - 10/12/2009 11:49:29 AM 328 Views
It refers to part of Egwene's dream that is yet unfulfilled. It COULD mean Tuon save her. *NM* redhand - 10/12/2009 03:46:15 PM 325 Views
