Re: For that matter, what is the point of Andor? brett014 Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 03:38:54 PM
I mean, yes, this is this the largest nation in the Westlands, but with so many lands under his belt, what use does Rand have for Andor?

The people don't particularly respect or like him, for all that he was raised in Andoran soil.

Its rulers will be compelled to fight his close friend and ally Perrin for the "crime" of raising a banner in the Two Rivers and fighting Trollocs.

Andor is going to send its armies to the Last Battle, but any ruler could have done that. Why Elayne?

Wouldn't it have been easier for her to stay with him, provide him her direct support? Why waste so many books over her struggle for the throne?

Its not like Elayne is going to be all that much better than Dyelin, say. She herself admits that! And with Dyelin as queen, not even House Tremaene would have an issue, and a completely united Andor would have followed Rand.

Even if Arymilla won and Andor went to the dogs... so what? What is one country, even if it is the largest?

Andor's unification has made no difference to the story either, by your logic. Why pick on the White Tower?



I thought there were a lot of theories out there that the one of the biggest battles would be in/around Caemlyn? If so, it would be critical that Elayne is the queen because she could easily get help by way of traveling to fight off any strikes from the shadow

So what was the point of the White Tower struggle? Cannoli - 07/02/2010 04:41:58 AM 2190 Views
The Tower will likely have some sort of "badass army" moment at the end... or, they'd BETTER beetnemesis - 07/02/2010 06:46:51 AM 941 Views

Nice idea, that does seem to make sense in hindsight. Lord Haart - 07/02/2010 06:18:35 PM 786 Views

YES!! The SPLIT is important. So why is ENDING the split such a necessary goal? Cannoli - 08/02/2010 04:55:46 AM 817 Views

Such a resolution could have been a minor plot point like settling Tear or Cairhien Cannoli - 11/02/2010 11:53:41 PM 899 Views

So what? This is more or less true, but it has zero relevance to the issue of the Tower. Cannoli - 10/02/2010 10:13:56 PM 877 Views
