Re: What lies did Leanne tell? Really, there's no reason to dismiss a redemptive arc for Elaida. darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 17/12/2009 12:15:46 AM
The same ones Siuan did ... she was a Sister Siuan trusted with the knowledge of Rand before she was toppled as Amyrlin. Leane also helped perpetuate the Red Ajah and set up Logain story. Oh and she pretends to hate Siuan to help manipulate the Hall.

I'd be shocked if we saw Elaida's redemption... she's been painted as one of the "bad guys" for the entire series and she's kind of a nut job too :P

I'm not saying I wouldn't appreciate a redemptive arc for her, but since the next two books are likely to take place in a relatively short time frame I just don't see how it has a place.

How long until Elaida is broken and reveals the Travelling Weave to the Seanchan? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2009 03:05:44 PM 1123 Views

I disagree with the Asha'man part darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 06:41:46 PM 705 Views
You misinterpreted me DomA - 17/12/2009 01:38:09 AM 689 Views
OH! I see now what you meant *NM* darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 02:09:13 AM 376 Views
That could be ironic ajfurst - 17/12/2009 06:27:36 AM 554 Views

I'd like to see Tuon do something that helps the good guys Logain - 17/12/2009 05:07:07 PM 585 Views
Maybe never. She still has her foretelling... fionwe1987 - 16/12/2009 10:16:44 PM 618 Views
I doubt it darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 10:28:10 PM 691 Views

PS why give Elaida a new name "Suffa" only to have her redeemed? *NM* darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 12:52:13 AM 592 Views
Tuli was redeemed rescued. *NM* Gher - 17/12/2009 12:59:12 AM 293 Views
yes but Suffa has a whole other meaning darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 01:29:37 AM 582 Views
I was mostly kidding. Gher - 17/12/2009 01:37:26 AM 542 Views
Fair enough darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 02:07:00 AM 570 Views
She suffers punishment and is then redeemed? BS said Elaida would be in the outriggers, IIRC. *NM* fionwe1987 - 17/12/2009 05:30:41 AM 284 Views

I agree. This doesn't reveal anything about her role. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:42:31 PM 516 Views
Hmm, OK, that's the second time I've heard that. Guess she'll live *NM* BlackAdder - 17/12/2009 06:38:37 PM 284 Views
Breaking her won't solve the entire problem. Look at Moghedien's example. Logain - 17/12/2009 12:57:36 AM 624 Views
Brutal, but effective darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 01:31:49 AM 605 Views
If it was that simple... Logain - 17/12/2009 02:14:55 PM 529 Views
not without revealing who she was to the AS darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 06:33:40 PM 848 Views
You're forgetting that Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne didn't "break" Moghedien. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:48:14 PM 509 Views
good point. I agree on the difficulty of learning from the damane *NM* amirebram - 17/12/2009 06:20:51 AM 286 Views
I think there is a degree of over-complexity you are bringing to this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:41:28 PM 661 Views
You're mis-understanding something Logain - 17/12/2009 08:04:11 PM 521 Views
No they don't darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 08:07:59 PM 551 Views
As above, they don't. redqueen - 25/12/2009 06:06:28 PM 601 Views
I don't think Elaida will need to be broken to reveal it... MightyYT - 18/12/2009 10:47:21 AM 521 Views
