When has she ever actually done that? Rand thinks she will, but so far she's done nothing like it! darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 16/02/2010 02:08:23 AM

Egwene SHOULD give the Tower's loyalty to Rand. All of this maneuvering, posturing, "Bargaining"- it pisses me off. He's the only one who can save the world. He needs every resource he can to do it. If everyone just shut the hell up for a year or two and fell in line, the world would be united, and he'd be a LOT less darker (No Elaida abduction to start the crazy, no wars filled with dead women to progress it, no failures against the Seancean to increase his frustration, no noblemen rebelling against him to make him even harder...)


Rand thinks she will, but thus far they've not had a single interaction since she left Cairhien. He proactively offered Asha'man up to make good on what he clearly sees as a wrong done to AS. Where has Egwene ever "bargained", postured or held back her help? Remember when she went against all things AS and fought at his side? How about when she put her life on the line attacking Lanfear when his life was in danger? Or minutes later when she was still half dead from that attack and was still willing to help him go after Rahvin? Or in TGH when she hid him from AS because she was afraid they would Gentle him? What about when she and Elayne did everything they could to try and teach him to control saidin? Or when she tried to block Ishamael from Rand's dreams? Yeah, she constantly bargains with Rand to get her help and she's never done a thing for him that didn't benefit her...

Just like Elayne treated him so well when she kicked him out of Andor? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 01:35:32 PM 885 Views
What? We are no longer allowed to make predictions of the coming books unless they're pro-Egwene? Lordling - 14/02/2010 02:22:10 PM 990 Views
a theory vs. mindlessly attacking a character because you don't like them? darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 07:00:27 PM 974 Views
It IS kind of ridiculous... but how do YOU think a meeting will go? beetnemesis - 14/02/2010 07:20:08 PM 979 Views
We all do that darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 08:09:51 PM 1038 Views
Is Egwene going to do what Elayne did when she met Rand after tearing down his banners? Cannoli - 15/02/2010 11:25:27 AM 1149 Views
You just KNOW that rather than compliment all the good he's done.... Kronin al'Sulc - 14/02/2010 03:06:09 PM 835 Views

Yes she did. Skeeve the Great - 14/02/2010 07:34:43 PM 1174 Views
No way these are fake... she's not BA and she she says she's having a Foretelling darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 08:24:29 PM 1013 Views
Good point. And the "rent in fire and blood" part is almost certain as well. Lord Haart - 16/02/2010 05:13:29 PM 776 Views

yet even Siuan seems to understand and accept Egwene's response ... odd that you can hold her to darius_sedai - 16/02/2010 01:55:35 AM 812 Views
Oh, so Elaida's treatment of Sheremin is ok because Sheremin accepted it? Lord Haart - 16/02/2010 06:49:53 AM 973 Views

Yes. Elaida wanted Egwene to be cowed in front of her into obedience, which would erode her support RugbyPlayingAshaman - 23/02/2010 10:18:03 PM 955 Views
