Even setting aside the issue of how much Rand should believe when a single non-credible source accuses a man without proof, it's ludicrous to think that Aes Sedai require a warning from any man to be as careful and wary as possible in dealing with a male channeler and past false dragon who has killed sisters in the past, or with a group of male channelers.

In what way is Logain less credible than Taim? Its not like there was any love lost between Rand and Taim, and both Logain and Taim were infamous False Dragons. Sure, Logain might just be talking out of jealousy, but given Rand's own mistrust of Taim, a quick inspection would have done absolutely no harm if Logain was lying, and changed the game in avery big way if he was right. Its not like Rand was very busy when Logain got him the news.

The Aes Sedai could not be more careful or wary if Rand came to each sister before she left for the Black Tower and told them personally all of his experiences with the renegades, and procured Logain to share his suspicions.

That is utter crock. Its one thing to approach a dangerous male channeler who has been presented as a staunch ally of the real Dragon Reborn, and quite something else to approach one who's possibly a traitor and a Darkfriend.

If in fact Egwene holds any unpleasant experiences of her daughters at the Black Tower over Rand, it will be in the nature of a political gambit, with absolutely no justice to the claim, as in her contradictory inaugural addresses to the Hall and to the rebels.

Yeah, because forcing the Aes Sedai to be ready for the Last Battle after informing them of her intent up front is exactly the same as Elaida's dictatorial actions aimed at increasing her personal power.

There's just as much evidence for the same sort of motivation for Logain - 04/09/2010 03:50:22 AM 692 Views
