The sul'dam can compel her to make the weave with the a'dam (as Renna did to Egwene), and the matter of identifying her is irrelevant as there are more than enough sul'dam available to work on all the captives at once.

The Seanchan as good as got Travelling now.

For the rest, it's more a matter of how long it will take them to adapt their tactics to use it in battle, but they have their fears of a counterstrike by Rand/WT to motivate them to move fast (they were aware of this when they decided to raid the Tower, so they probably have plans in the works for the aftermath).

Personally, I think Brandon "cheated" a little to be able to divide the book. Originally, Yulan's plan involved two different maps, the one of Tar Valon being the only one revealed in KOD, the second one being left mysterious. I suspect originally there was a plan to raid the BT (or Logain,s forces at the Illian border) after the WT in Yulan's strategy, but Brandon decided to have the Seanchan completely overlook the Asha'man in TGS (despite being well aware of the threat, which they faced in the Venir range as well as at Anath's capture, and they were involved at Malden). It was quite a plot hole for Yulan to totally overlook the Asha'man and focus only on the Aes Sedai. I think it's the result of excising a story line from the whole that progressed well when all story lines ran in parallel but foreshadowed events in ToM too much after the book got divided. I think Brandon decided striking at the Asha'man would now come second. I would not be surprised there are more Tuon/Seanchan chapters set before the raid on TV in ToM, developping what else they were planning.

How long until Elaida is broken and reveals the Travelling Weave to the Seanchan? - 16/12/2009 03:05:44 PM 1258 Views

I disagree with the Asha'man part - 16/12/2009 06:41:46 PM 810 Views
You misinterpreted me - 17/12/2009 01:38:09 AM 789 Views
OH! I see now what you meant *NM* - 17/12/2009 02:09:13 AM 421 Views
That could be ironic - 17/12/2009 06:27:36 AM 658 Views

I'd like to see Tuon do something that helps the good guys - 17/12/2009 05:07:07 PM 688 Views
Maybe never. She still has her foretelling... - 16/12/2009 10:16:44 PM 714 Views
I doubt it - 16/12/2009 10:28:10 PM 791 Views
What lies did Leanne tell? Really, there's no reason to dismiss a redemptive arc for Elaida. - 16/12/2009 10:48:09 PM 1226 Views

PS why give Elaida a new name "Suffa" only to have her redeemed? *NM* - 17/12/2009 12:52:13 AM 654 Views
Tuli was redeemed rescued. *NM* - 17/12/2009 12:59:12 AM 341 Views
yes but Suffa has a whole other meaning - 17/12/2009 01:29:37 AM 683 Views
I was mostly kidding. - 17/12/2009 01:37:26 AM 645 Views
Fair enough - 17/12/2009 02:07:00 AM 672 Views
Breaking her won't solve the entire problem. Look at Moghedien's example. - 17/12/2009 12:57:36 AM 729 Views
Brutal, but effective - 17/12/2009 01:31:49 AM 699 Views
If it was that simple... - 17/12/2009 02:14:55 PM 636 Views
not without revealing who she was to the AS - 17/12/2009 06:33:40 PM 958 Views
You're forgetting that Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne didn't "break" Moghedien. - 17/12/2009 07:48:14 PM 598 Views
good point. I agree on the difficulty of learning from the damane *NM* - 17/12/2009 06:20:51 AM 337 Views
I think there is a degree of over-complexity you are bringing to this. - 17/12/2009 07:41:28 PM 779 Views
You're mis-understanding something - 17/12/2009 08:04:11 PM 613 Views
No they don't - 17/12/2009 08:07:59 PM 646 Views
As above, they don't. - 25/12/2009 06:06:28 PM 701 Views
I don't think Elaida will need to be broken to reveal it... - 18/12/2009 10:47:21 AM 641 Views
