What lies did Leanne tell? Really, there's no reason to dismiss a redemptive arc for Elaida. fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 16/12/2009 10:48:09 PM
The last time Elaida was in such a tight spot (Alviarin begins to blackmail her), she raged for a time, before her complete belief in her Foretelling made her toughen up.

I have to wonder, given her previous behavior, if she will see this as the end of her hopes or merely as another inconvenience which she will</i? overcome because "prophesy" said so.

Maybe her misguided interpretations of prophesy will yet end up benefiting the Light, and ultimately lead to her redemption.


RJ was quite unforgiving with these things. Just like Liandrin will never break the shield on her and Galina will never leave the Waste. Even non-df's who are selfish or petty see long lasting punishments... Amathera will never be Panarch again, and while she seemingly has found love and a life, she's "been put in her place", Siuan and Leane both suffered dramatic loss in OP Strength for their lying and meddling etc...

I imagine the next we see of Suffa she'll be a good damane, probably in Tuon's personal retinue and maybe with more control of her Foretelling :)

How long until Elaida is broken and reveals the Travelling Weave to the Seanchan? - 16/12/2009 03:05:44 PM 1051 Views

I disagree with the Asha'man part - 16/12/2009 06:41:46 PM 632 Views

OH! I see now what you meant *NM* - 17/12/2009 02:09:13 AM 346 Views

I'd like to see Tuon do something that helps the good guys - 17/12/2009 05:07:07 PM 523 Views
Maybe never. She still has her foretelling... - 16/12/2009 10:16:44 PM 558 Views
I doubt it - 16/12/2009 10:28:10 PM 623 Views

PS why give Elaida a new name "Suffa" only to have her redeemed? *NM* - 17/12/2009 12:52:13 AM 559 Views
Tuli was redeemed rescued. *NM* - 17/12/2009 12:59:12 AM 265 Views
yes but Suffa has a whole other meaning - 17/12/2009 01:29:37 AM 510 Views
I was mostly kidding. - 17/12/2009 01:37:26 AM 471 Views
Fair enough - 17/12/2009 02:07:00 AM 513 Views
Breaking her won't solve the entire problem. Look at Moghedien's example. - 17/12/2009 12:57:36 AM 547 Views

If it was that simple... - 17/12/2009 02:14:55 PM 474 Views
not without revealing who she was to the AS - 17/12/2009 06:33:40 PM 795 Views
You're forgetting that Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne didn't "break" Moghedien. - 17/12/2009 07:48:14 PM 452 Views
good point. I agree on the difficulty of learning from the damane *NM* - 17/12/2009 06:20:51 AM 255 Views
I think there is a degree of over-complexity you are bringing to this. - 17/12/2009 07:41:28 PM 576 Views
You're mis-understanding something - 17/12/2009 08:04:11 PM 467 Views
No they don't - 17/12/2009 08:07:59 PM 480 Views
As above, they don't. - 25/12/2009 06:06:28 PM 545 Views
I don't think Elaida will need to be broken to reveal it... - 18/12/2009 10:47:21 AM 454 Views
