I think the BT would wipe the floor with the damane on their home turf darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 05/08/2010 08:19:38 PM
It's not the AS the Seanchan will plan to attack next, it's the BT...


Makes sense.

I wonder how the attack will go? The Asha'man seem pretty deadly, more so than the damane even. On the other hand, they don't expect the attack from the Seanchan and a large majority of their numbers is in the field now leaving the BT itself vulnerable. I could actually see the Black Tower potentially falling to the Seanchan.

Ofcourse, there are some problems I can see. Taim is likely a darkfriend and connected to the forsaken. Logain also states that Taim has some unique OP-techniques that he is teaching to his "favorites". And Taim's groupies form the majority of the people that are still in BT. It is possible that a seanchan attack would face some high-end AoL attacks and the like. Or potentially cross-gender links if the black ajah flees to Taim.

And even if the Seanchan win, Taim and his people being crushed might actually be quite beneficial to Rand. Might me amusing during the next scene if Tuon taunts Rand with the fall of BT, only to have Rand turn things around by explaining that Taim was a traitor, and thanking Tuon for dealing with him so that Rand did not need to.


I can't see a raid working all that well on the BT. It's essentially a military encampment. Even if there are only 100 men left there I think the Seanchan would be hard pressed to be even as successful as they were in TV and they have far less to gain in such an attack at this time. Although Fortuona clearly believes the WT is connected to Rand so perhaps she just sees the BT as an extension of that relationship?

Not to say they won't do it, but they don't have the same incentives as they did with the TV raid and they've been up against the AM enough to know what kind of battle they would have on their hands.

Perhaps it would be worth it to try and cripple Rand's channeling forces, but I'm not sure the Seanchan even know where the BT is located.

Personally I think the second attack location is going to turn out to be the invasion plans for Illian.
