Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM

If most Aes Sedai seem happy to live in their little bubble of superiority and inter-Ajah politics, why would a full third of them Rebel against Elaida? You do realize that those crazy actions of hers are exactly why these women are Rebelling? By trying to excise a leader who does so much harm, these women are doing good, and hence, are not superfluous.


Most of Elaida's policies have been against other Aes Sedai. Disbanding the Blue, ordering sisters strapped/demoted, seizing power in the way she did...

If Elaida had only made bad decisions in regards to the outside world, and had kept the Ajahs happy, I highly, HIGHLY doubt there would be a rebellion.


(Not that I think the Salidar AS are out of line- I'm just saying that they didn't rebel out of outrage that Elaida bungled the Rand situation.)
I amuse myself.

You know... it feels like the Aes Sedai are pretty superflouous beetnemesis - 02/09/2009 09:48:19 PM 1472 Views

That is the inspiration for the Aes Sedai that RJ used - I can't find the article, though. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 02:39:14 PM 971 Views

most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 1002 Views
Just because we don't know all their names, doesn't mean their effectiveness on the Pattern was less RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 03:19:41 PM 1025 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 827 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 846 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 871 Views

No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 812 Views

I was talking about the WT specifically, and only during recent years. It's Gotta be the Shadow, beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:39:11 PM 870 Views
So what you are really saying is that if you ignore over 2/3rds of the AS the rest aren't doing much NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 06:07:23 PM 822 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 888 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 828 Views
