Fair enough darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 17/12/2009 02:07:00 AM
I didn't mean why rename her at all ... I meant why specifically give her a name that is essentially "Suffer" if she wasn't going to be paying for bad behavior


Well, it could be a giant penance to put her in her place. I don't think the a'dam, sul'dam, and damane concept will survive the end of the series (though I think it's a good solution for criminals and BA, but doubt it will be used as such), so unless Suffa dies in the next two books, she'll be freed eventually. Perhaps she comes out of it a broken woman, perhaps just humbled.


I'm not so sure that we'll see the end of damane to be honest, RJ had planned outrigger novels based on the Seanchan civil war (Mat and Tuon rule the world) from what I understand ... which implies longer existence of the damane system.

How long until Elaida is broken and reveals the Travelling Weave to the Seanchan? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2009 03:05:44 PM 1050 Views

I disagree with the Asha'man part darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 06:41:46 PM 631 Views
You misinterpreted me DomA - 17/12/2009 01:38:09 AM 602 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 556 Views
I doubt it darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 10:28:10 PM 622 Views
What lies did Leanne tell? Really, there's no reason to dismiss a redemptive arc for Elaida. fionwe1987 - 16/12/2009 10:48:09 PM 957 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

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 250 Views

I agree. This doesn't reveal anything about her role. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:42:31 PM 442 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 237 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 472 Views
not without revealing who she was to the AS darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 06:33:40 PM 794 Views
You're forgetting that Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne didn't "break" Moghedien. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:48:14 PM 451 Views
good point. I agree on the difficulty of learning from the damane *NM* amirebram - 17/12/2009 06:20:51 AM 254 Views
I think there is a degree of over-complexity you are bringing to this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2009 07:41:28 PM 575 Views
You're mis-understanding something Logain - 17/12/2009 08:04:11 PM 465 Views
No they don't darius_sedai - 17/12/2009 08:07:59 PM 479 Views
As above, they don't. redqueen - 25/12/2009 06:06:28 PM 543 Views
I don't think Elaida will need to be broken to reveal it... MightyYT - 18/12/2009 10:47:21 AM 452 Views
