Basically, I'm just posting this to hear other's peoples thoughts...
So in TOM Rand Sedai says to Cadsuane something to the affect of..."I suspect you are my junior by decades at least" As well as telling Cadsuane that he was 400 years old on the day he 'died' in AOL.
So take your perspective and put yourself in Cadsuane's head and what does she hear? What she hears is 400 years old and thinks, "Impossible" I'm the oldest Aes Sedai and I'm near death at 300 years old. The other question that floats in her head is "How does he know that I'm his junior by decades?". The other question floating in Cadsuane's head (TGS) regarding all this is why other channelers that aren't Aes Sedai don't have the ageless look.
So put all this together and we have Cadsuane coming to conclusions that will not sit favorbly in her eyes of losing half her life. What I also gather from Rand's conversation with Cadsuane is he knows about the Criminal Binder and this was a subtle hint (perhaps?) that it is on his mind.
I've been hoping, regardless of how I feel about Aes Sedai as whole, that this issue of the Criminal Binder could be addressed and I'm seeing a definite possibility of Rand Sedai addressing this to the Aes Sedai on the Fields of Merrilor. What do you guys think. Will Rand ignore the issue, knowing that he does in fact know what's really going on, or will this hopefully and thank the Light finally be addressed?
