"rigidly hierarchical oligarchy" How the fuck is Randland any different? Variant Send a noteboard - 30/11/2010 09:54:13 AM
Randland is comprised of a feudal system where there is a King/Queen at the top of a hierarchy of Lords responsible for running manors within the realm. The Lords has serfs who are basically slaves that are tied to the land they live and work on and owe allegiance and taxes to their lord.

The Seanchan or no better, and it must be said, no worse. Running an empire is based on governance, rule of law. The fact that the vast majority of those people living in Seanchan lands seem content, safe, and prosperous enough. They also provide security for their people, the fact that Tinkers are gathering and migrating to Seanchan-held lands in the south (and especially around Ebou Dar) due to the safety Seanchan law provides them.

What's the point of existing if the existence is a miserable one? - 26/11/2010 09:38:56 AM 808 Views

Personally, I'm rooting for the Seanchan to take over Randland. - 24/11/2010 02:09:15 AM 877 Views
