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 1051 Views

I disagree with the Asha'man part darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 06:41:46 PM 632 Views
You misinterpreted me DomA - 17/12/2009 01:38:09 AM 603 Views
OH! I see now what you meant *NM* darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 02:09:13 AM 346 Views
That could be ironic ajfurst - 17/12/2009 06:27:36 AM 494 Views

I'd like to see Tuon do something that helps the good guys Logain - 17/12/2009 05:07:07 PM 522 Views
Maybe never. She still has her foretelling... fionwe1987 - 16/12/2009 10:16:44 PM 557 Views
I doubt it darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 10:28:10 PM 623 Views

PS why give Elaida a new name "Suffa" only to have her redeemed? *NM* darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 12:52:13 AM 559 Views
Tuli was redeemed rescued. *NM* Gher - 17/12/2009 12:59:12 AM 265 Views
yes but Suffa has a whole other meaning darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 01:29:37 AM 509 Views
I was mostly kidding. Gher - 17/12/2009 01:37:26 AM 470 Views
Fair enough darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 02:07:00 AM 512 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 251 Views

I agree. This doesn't reveal anything about her role. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:42:31 PM 443 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 238 Views
Breaking her won't solve the entire problem. Look at Moghedien's example. Logain - 17/12/2009 12:57:36 AM 546 Views
Brutal, but effective darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 01:31:49 AM 540 Views
If it was that simple... Logain - 17/12/2009 02:14:55 PM 473 Views
not without revealing who she was to the AS darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 06:33:40 PM 795 Views
You're forgetting that Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne didn't "break" Moghedien. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:48:14 PM 452 Views
good point. I agree on the difficulty of learning from the damane *NM* amirebram - 17/12/2009 06:20:51 AM 255 Views
I think there is a degree of over-complexity you are bringing to this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:41:28 PM 576 Views
You're mis-understanding something Logain - 17/12/2009 08:04:11 PM 467 Views
No they don't darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 08:07:59 PM 480 Views
As above, they don't. redqueen - 25/12/2009 06:06:28 PM 544 Views
I don't think Elaida will need to be broken to reveal it... MightyYT - 18/12/2009 10:47:21 AM 453 Views
