well she did have advantages with her ornaments darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 01/07/2010 04:04:58 PM
Why does she need to get put in her place? She's already in her place. You're acting like she's a bad person or something. She's not. She deserves to act as she does.


What a nonsense. She deserves nothing in my book. In my mind, Cadsuane is a quintessence of what is wrong with Aes Sedai.


In my mind, if Aes Sedai were more intelligent, like her, then things would be just peachy.


Name 3 "intelligent" things she has done. For that matter it would be a tough task for any of the major characters in this series as "the stupid things people do when they don't know all they think they do" is IMO one of the major themes of the series. That being said, Caddy has been one of the more foolish of the major characters. Strong & influential yes, but she has not behaved "inteligently", unless you consider "Hey lets make the incrediblly powerful insane guy who has asked for our help angry whenever we can and treat him like a mushroom/child giving him zero respect for anything" intellignet.


1. She did a pretty good job of managing the defenses at the Cleansing

2. She's the only AS we've seen that seems to ignore Strength when picking out her entourage (Daigian and Kumira were both very weak, but very capable).

3. Her plan to free Rand from Far Madding was pretty smart

4. Not writing off the Aiel WO as ignorant Wilders got her pretty far

5. She managed to handle the SF with no effort, something no other AS has really managed thus far

6. She actually did a pretty admirable job of keeping Rand's temper in check for a good amount of time too


Logain, Mazrim Taim, some Taraboner king back in the day; basically whenever a powerful man began channeling, who captured him? The Red Ajah? No, it was Cadsuane.

It seems very likely if she's still with Rand when he "knows the Amyrlin's anger." *NM* RandAllThor - 30/06/2010 01:30:57 AM 320 Views

I don't understand you, at all. You're speaking nonsense. callandor1000 - 30/06/2010 04:53:11 AM 952 Views
true, Cadsuane is one of my favorite characters *NM* car'a'aman - 30/06/2010 08:21:31 AM 348 Views

I don't particularly like Cadsuane either ... but she's done quite a few smart things... darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 04:11:55 PM 712 Views
She's also actually accomplised things in her life as well, unlike most Aes Sedai. Rurouni_Kenshin - 01/07/2010 04:04:40 AM 761 Views
well she did have advantages with her ornaments darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 04:04:58 PM 874 Views
I'm in the pro-Casuane camp. And there is lots of room! The Angry Druid - 01/07/2010 11:40:44 PM 767 Views

Age means nothing to Egwene BlackAdder - 30/06/2010 01:15:06 PM 730 Views
ya, but to none with her age and her strength of character. car'a'aman - 30/06/2010 04:13:50 PM 658 Views
Saerin is nearly as old as Cadsuane as are a few of the other darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 05:39:28 PM 682 Views
Not really. Cadsuane's ability to boss people around extends only to BlackAdder - 30/06/2010 05:54:45 PM 632 Views

you are probably right...but it doesn't stop me from hoping though. *NM* car'a'aman - 30/06/2010 04:11:37 PM 316 Views
I doubt that Cadsuane would be very intimidated by Egwene... *NM* Etzel - 30/06/2010 10:00:17 AM 335 Views
I doubt that Egwene would be very intimidated by Cadsuane ... darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 04:01:12 PM 704 Views
I think Egwene might be awed... Etzel - 01/07/2010 09:12:26 AM 710 Views
I actually don't think Egwene knows who Cadsuane is. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/07/2010 01:20:15 PM 633 Views
You are probably correct darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 04:11:14 PM 583 Views
Actually, she does know... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 04:29:58 PM 585 Views
Re: Actually, she does know... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/07/2010 04:48:25 PM 608 Views
I very much doubt it darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 04:09:06 PM 615 Views
Cadsuane's "special" personality would certainly do the rest to impress Egwene very much.. *NM* Etzel - 01/07/2010 04:38:41 PM 627 Views
I don't find her any more intimidating than Romanda or Lelaine *NM* Sidious - 01/07/2010 05:56:59 PM 545 Views
That I don't agree with... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 06:27:33 PM 584 Views
Cadsuane is definitely more able Sidious - 01/07/2010 06:35:07 PM 653 Views
And thus more intimidating... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 06:55:52 PM 690 Views

Frankly, I think it will be like the first meeting of Cadsuane and Amys... fionwe1987 - 01/07/2010 04:38:17 PM 666 Views
I agree. I don't see any conflict arising between them. *NM* Deadsy - 02/07/2010 05:39:15 AM 316 Views
It would be like Shadar Logoth meeting the Shadow Knightscape - 30/06/2010 11:49:01 AM 662 Views

Hmm Demortae - 30/06/2010 05:17:02 PM 674 Views
I think there is a major reason she stays out of the Tower darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 05:29:53 PM 681 Views
Re: Hmm Lordling - 30/06/2010 06:02:22 PM 749 Views
I would like to see Caddy put Egwene in a headlock and make her cry...and suckerpunch Elayne, too... *NM* The Count - 02/07/2010 12:40:24 AM 304 Views
