Yes, we really need to see... Nameless Ashaman Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 01:19:15 PM
We really need to see the Seanchan debriefing on this raid before we start making predictions for a rematch.

Seanchan losses in precious resources (to'raken and Damane) were very high, and the number of captured AS probably much lower than expected. Even if they believe they did significant damage to the AS as a whole, it's hard to consider the raid as anything better than a draw for the Seanchan. A repeat attempt, without the benefit of surprise, seems unwise and unlikely.

The main prize seems to be Travelling, but even that isn't certain. They've captured at least one AS who knows the weaves (Elaida, who may be the only one), but she'll have to be broken before she reveals that knowledge. That may or may not take a while (Elaide is strong-willed, but characterized as brittle. Hard rather then strong. She may break quite easily), but how much time is left for that to happen?

I agree with the basic premise of this thread that the AS are capable of standing up to the Seanchan in a fair fight, and may even have some advantages (at least on defence where the oaths aren't a hindrance), but I consider it moot. I do not foresee a pure AS vs Seanchan conflict ever taking place.
