2. Have you ever wondered why all Seanchan seem to be described as having a drawling accent, even though they're from all over a second continent, and so should have multiple accents?
but they are all drawly in nature. some are said to be more clipped iirc.
3. If you have to be Cairhienin or Domani, which would you be, and why?
domani. not into the whole striped dress/amount of power thing. and i am way more overt about my sexuality. daes daemar can suck it too....
4. Of the currently existing Borderlands, which would you most enjoy being a citizen of?
whichever one sexy narishma is from. or sheinar.
5. Of the historic nations (the 10 nations or any of the other fallen nations), which would you be from?
meh. caralain, don't like this question.
6. If you had to be from Tear or Illian, which would you be from?
hmmm....illian, i love their speaking style. and they don't bully poor ole mayene....
7. You are a man (just for this question) and have to marry a woman from WoT. Which nation would you go wife-hunting in?
hmmm. someone feisty for sure....probably an aiel woman. they are competent fo sho!
8. As a non-channeling woman, would you prefer to live in Tar Valon or Amadicia?
tar valon. amadicia sounds v dull. being close to women in power would be pretty cool even if you couldn't joint them.
9. Would you prefer to be from part of the globe unclaimed by any country (like the Caralain Grass) or from a part that's claimed, but never sees their monarch (the Two Rivers)?
erm. well, the two rivers' sense of community is cool and well-developed and we don't know too much about the caralain grass villages, so i'll default and go with two rivers. as long as there is no royal representation i don't think it would make a difference to me.
10. What is your theory on the origin of the Seafolk? Are they connected to dai'shain aiel from the AoL, or are they simply the descendants of the lucky people who were able to get to a boat during the Breaking?
lucky people who got on boats after the breaking...
11. Why do you think Seanchan Ogier who serve in the Empress's Deathwatch Guards are called "Gardeners?"
they were probably originally gardeners or tree singers when people first went to seanchan (ogier were already there). or, if the ogier came with people to seanchan, the randland ogier were definitely gardeners already, so it probably references who they once were/what positions they once held.
12. How many Malkieri do you expect to answer Nynaeve's call?
all of the light-friendly ones. how could a malkieri refuse it and still be a malkieri?
13. What do you think of the Andoran system of Royalty that determines fitness to rule by connection to one common ancestor?
redoinkulous. almost as retreaded as passing the crown down in one family (not just andor does this of course)....
but they are all drawly in nature. some are said to be more clipped iirc.
