It is a society that horrifies our 21st C sensibilities. But between the common people preferring them (the Seanchan MUST be better than what the common folk had before...otherwise the people would not be so comfortable with them-in 'real' history conquering groups must be MUCH better for the commons to accept them openly), and the Tinkers flocking to them (in the AOL Tinkers flock to serve the pacifist AS), and no barriers to trade that I can see, the Seanchan are only inferior in the way they treat da'covale and channelers. Trust me,98% of the people who lived in pre-Rand Tear or Cairhein would prefer the Seanchan in a heartbeat over being 'peasants (re:slaves)' to their greety Lords.
and there were African American slaves who fought for the Confederacy... all the common folk have really had time to see of them is the martial law they have put into place so of course they are content. For most of these people Seanchan haven't had time to take a sister or aunt or cousin from their households and create a slave out of a family member.
I'm not advocating the horrible treatment the common folk of Tear received, but the Seanchan way isn't the answer either! Do you really think the Two Rivers people would be happier under Seanchan rule?

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

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*
