The Amyrlin Seat is considered to rank above a monarch. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 15/12/2010 10:09:39 PM
You can think of Egwene as being a High Priestess of a religion or a High Queen. In the real world, Catholic kings, presidents and political leaders are still expected to kiss the ring and bow to the current Pope.

It's one of the scenes that lead me to believe that Elayne might refuse to join the White Tower. I may be in the minority, but I have a presentiment of disaster that Rand manipulated Egwene to invite Elayne to his grand meeting just as Caemlyn is under attack, but we will have to see how this all plays out.

It's a mere mark of respect to the Amyrlin Seat (the position, not the woman) - 16/12/2010 02:01:17 AM 1012 Views
