Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 28/01/2011 01:54:00 AM
The Westland nations (I WON'T USE WETLANDS BECAUSE THERE'S AN OCEAN AND IT'S WETTER THAN THE "WETLANDS." ), typically having a much less centralized state, are more secure in the event of many leaders dying. The historic suceession crises of Andor do not seem to be close to what Seanchan is experiencing.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Seanchan Takeover of Randland - 22/01/2011 11:25:36 PM 2078 Views
You mean utter anarchy and a dangerously stratified society? - 23/01/2011 07:24:48 AM 835 Views
The situation in Seanchan isn't that unique - 23/01/2011 07:49:28 AM 860 Views
Except with continous rebellion. - 23/01/2011 12:13:17 PM 850 Views
That's to be expected. - 23/01/2011 12:56:07 PM 810 Views
The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power. - 27/01/2011 01:10:56 PM 795 Views

The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan. - 23/01/2011 10:59:33 AM 915 Views
That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern - 23/01/2011 11:41:35 PM 748 Views

I disagree. - 25/01/2011 07:17:18 PM 761 Views
I see them as neccessary evil to eventually eliminate channeling. - 24/01/2011 08:04:21 PM 870 Views
