It's supposed to be a required part of being Aes Sedai. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 08:52:34 AM
Nynaeve was made a full Aes Sedai, absolutely and unconditionally, and retroactively attaching conditions to her keeping the shawl and title is absolutely no different than Elaida revoking the shawl from Shemerin or demanding the sisters swear an additional oath.


Of course it is. Those conditions were supposed to be attatched from the start. Allowing Nynaeve to continue to be a full Aes Sedai while not adhering to the conditions would be the same as redefining what the conditions are to become an Aes Sedai. This is something that Egwene does not have the power to do (and should not). Egwene only got away with it last time because it was politically convinient and raising Nynaeve properly was impossible at the time. And demands of the plot. You know how that works.

Nynaeve should not have been made to swear the Oaths Cannoli - 07/12/2010 03:12:00 PM 1829 Views

*shrugs* ... the oaths are lame and so full of holes the only value they bring is darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:26:21 PM 826 Views
I wonder what would have happened if she refused and left the tower entirely. LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:30:58 PM 824 Views
I doubt they would have stopped her ... but there was no real reason for her to refuse the darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:34:20 PM 781 Views
no there wasn't a real reason for her to refuse. It'd still be interesting if she did *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:37:45 PM 387 Views
would have made for an interesting spin on the plot darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 05:37:31 PM 774 Views
How is she not a lead? moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 06:25:45 PM 745 Views
She has never really had her own unique plot line darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 06:34:40 PM 717 Views
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 07:46:08 PM 768 Views
Nothing to really argue here except perspective ... to each their own *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 10:26:04 PM 379 Views
That would have been good - I think she was probably the only woman with such an opportunity Cannoli - 07/12/2010 10:59:50 PM 813 Views
Personally, I think it would have been a brillaint twist if Nyneave didn't become Aes Sedai *NM* Variant - 08/12/2010 12:02:05 AM 425 Views

I think that is true of the testing not the Oaths darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:08:22 PM 731 Views
she shouldn't have, although I think they should trash the oaths in general LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:29:21 PM 744 Views
agreed! and I think Nynaeve's testing rather proved that point darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:35:38 PM 805 Views
Especially since Egwene herself didn't really think it necessary for herself to take the tests RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 03:43:18 PM 778 Views
well it looks like such a coalition is part of the plan LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:47:03 PM 767 Views
I meant one that would destroy the White Tower RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 03:53:35 PM 825 Views
ahh I see. well maybe they shall LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 04:00:52 PM 730 Views
I agree with you. Hopefully Post LB there will be a new structure to the AS organization darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 05:34:01 PM 700 Views
She was always going to have to swear the Oaths redqueen - 07/12/2010 04:42:59 PM 763 Views

Ooops, double post! *NM* Evil_Monkey - 08/12/2010 02:58:01 PM 377 Views
The only problem with that scenario was that Nynaeve had stuff to do, and could not as Accepted Cannoli - 09/12/2010 01:09:45 AM 817 Views
And what? To miss all the awesomeness she had before/during/after the test? Skeeve the Great - 07/12/2010 06:27:23 PM 713 Views
I agree about the test, kind of. The Oaths was going too far. DomA - 07/12/2010 07:02:43 PM 870 Views

Has Egwene swore the Oaths? guttering flame - 08/12/2010 03:11:37 PM 802 Views
Yes - she swore on the Oath Rod in TGS. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/12/2010 03:22:31 PM 430 Views

On the contrary, being Aes Sedai means she had to swear the Oaths. Joel - 14/12/2010 04:53:28 AM 672 Views

Actually I'm not being flippant guttering flame - 15/12/2010 05:58:22 AM 700 Views
They believe Oaths necessary, thus an Aes Sedai refusing sets herself apart from and above the rest. Joel - 16/12/2010 02:26:45 PM 1152 Views
So? Cannoli - 15/12/2010 11:40:32 AM 765 Views
From the standpoint of actually changing Tower rules and traditions I agree with you. Joel - 16/12/2010 02:13:44 PM 1141 Views
