Re: Seanchan equality before the law Watcher Send a noteboard - 23/01/2011 04:22:28 PM
There is a quote from Tuon's bodyguard come dresser who said that there would have to be proof of a crime for official action to be taken, even against property.

One thing to remember is that there is a difference from being equal before the law as far as the state goes and having the status of proeprty. Equal before the law means that the guilt of property has to be proved for them to be convicted of a crime and punished by the state i.e. the Throne.

It does not mean that their owner can't decide to have them strapped or maimed or simply killed.

I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first Deadsy - 23/01/2011 12:19:48 AM 1237 Views
Hopefully the Dragon's Peace (not the one Avi saw the effects of) those concerns. *NM* Japhy - 23/01/2011 03:21:04 AM 580 Views
You mean utter anarchy and a dangerously stratified society? Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 07:24:48 AM 1011 Views
The situation in Seanchan isn't that unique ranagrande - 23/01/2011 07:49:28 AM 1059 Views
Except with continous rebellion. Chas - 23/01/2011 12:13:17 PM 1054 Views
That's to be expected. ranagrande - 23/01/2011 12:56:07 PM 1006 Views
there's tons of problems there, but 20+ leaders/royals killed? Disaster anywhere... *NM* newyorkersedai - 23/01/2011 11:38:57 AM 522 Views
Funny; Caemlyn's succession crises aren't nearly as bad. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 11:00:45 PM 513 Views
Rand deserves some credit, he did get involved early and held the Lion Throne for Elayne. *NM* Libby - 24/01/2011 08:47:42 AM 542 Views
The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power. Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:10:56 PM 1021 Views
Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance. Ghavrel - 28/01/2011 01:54:00 AM 922 Views
It's not the Empire's fault, and that flaw is not being duplicated in the wetlands Cannoli - 28/01/2011 11:24:00 PM 1206 Views

It's like you don't even read anything when you post. My posts, the books themselves... Cannoli - 02/02/2011 06:41:10 PM 1052 Views
They treat channelers like DOGS! so, No. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 23/01/2011 07:56:22 AM 512 Views

The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan. Libby - 23/01/2011 10:59:33 AM 1094 Views
That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern Lord Haart - 23/01/2011 11:41:35 PM 934 Views
If we're going to personify things, we should be personifying the Wheel, not the Pattern. Ghavrel - 24/01/2011 12:13:49 AM 960 Views

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM* Deadsy - 26/01/2011 12:14:19 AM 525 Views
Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/01/2011 04:03:22 PM 886 Views
If OP still existed, you'd still have sparkers even "today". *NM* Myrdhyn - 26/01/2011 06:34:50 PM 505 Views
