Of course not! artois Send a noteboard - 10/12/2009 01:13:10 AM
There are no 'ideal societies' in the WOT. But peasants are people too, and I would rather be a peasant in a society that values law and order and is very stable, than in a place like Tear and Cairhein. Remember, upward mobility in a medieval society is almost non existant; so if you are going to be a farmer, you want to be a farmer in a place where you feel safe. It also seems that incompetence in rulers is far less tolerated in Seanchan, so that it seems likely that most peasants would be better off...

Provided they don't channel. of course.

The Empress and the oath rod artois - 09/12/2009 07:25:36 PM 1212 Views
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 323 Views
I think we already know Egwene's position on a "Fourth Oath" Light in the Night - 09/12/2009 08:17:11 PM 977 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 886 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 752 Views
True, but... artois - 09/12/2009 10:02:13 PM 698 Views

Don't be so quick to judge these two societies yet. redhand - 10/12/2009 05:06:33 AM 765 Views
Exactly *NM* artois - 10/12/2009 05:17:59 AM 286 Views
yet both groups hold highly influential positions within their societies without being shunned *NM* darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 06:31:15 AM 305 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 803 Views
I am thinking about straight oath without WT training. redhand - 09/12/2009 09:04:15 PM 808 Views
I Like This! *NM* *NM* artois - 09/12/2009 10:03:07 PM 292 Views

I agree that there is no way the Seanchan are going to be able to change overnight darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 12:12:00 AM 648 Views

When did Tuon save Egwene ? *NM* Simon - 10/12/2009 11:49:29 AM 301 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 296 Views
