1. Do you pay attention to the real world correlations to the randland countries?
erm, i see similarities. andor to england, seanchan to the US etc.
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?
perhaps the seanchan can differentiate between the accents, but as so often it's difficult to pick out different accents when you don't know them that well. all the US accents sound pretty much the same to me
3. If you have to be Cairhienin or Domani, which would you be, and why?
cairhienin, because i like the idea of being prim in public and dirty behind closed doors
4. Of the currently existing Borderlands, which would you most enjoy being a citizen of?
errr, i like those ariefelan (?) bells in the hairs, so that
5. Of the historic nations (the 10 nations or any of the other fallen nations), which would you be from?
aridhol, why not?
6. If you had to be from Tear or Illian, which would you be from?
tear, the illian accent does my head in
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?
andor
8. As a non-channeling woman, would you prefer to live in Tar Valon or Amadicia?
tar valon
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)?
i don't see the difference
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?
i don't have a theory
11. Why do you think Seanchan Ogier who serve in the Empress's Deathwatch Guards are called "Gardeners?"
because they prune people of limbs
12. How many Malkieri do you expect to answer Nynaeve's call?
many
13. What do you think of the Andoran system of Royalty that determines fitness to rule by connection to one common ancestor?
seems to be working to me
nice survey
