And I agree. I think the defining difference between Elayne and Nynaeve is that Nynaeve's infractions come from her sense of morals while Elayne's come from a sense of entitlement and ambition.


If she has a sense of entitlement, it's because she is entitled as first Daughter-Heir, and now Queen. Her actions in TOM (specifically, the deal with the Kin) were for the betterment of her realm and her people. That's not to say she isn't overstepping her bounds as AS in her position as Queen, because she is. And it's something that the Tower (either Egwene privately, or the Hall publicly) will have to deal with eventually.

It's not like the Kin weren't getting anything out of the deal, so what's the problem? Macharius - 16/12/2010 04:33:16 PM 782 Views
BTW by "High Queen" I meant that other rulers showed her respect, not that she ruled them. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2010 04:42:40 PM 777 Views

The Nobles don't really have any reason to assume the Amyrlin would do that darius_sedai - 20/12/2010 08:50:54 PM 796 Views
