I scanned the WoT encyclopedia and wot wikia, no mention of her mom, but the library at newyorkersedai Send a noteboard - 06/02/2011 03:29:00 AM
tar valon.net notes that in WH Ch. 21, her mother was captain of the Empress' Fleets. Then I grabbed my copy and checked. Yes. Her momma was the Empress' so'jihn.

It is a pretty clear mistake, and you made a nice catch there.

I don't see how a ship captain would be made a slave without Egeanin ending up a slave too. Also, I don't see E's mom having been a slave, then being made a captain. I can't afford to search more, though.

I have one little question about Egeanin that's been bothering me. In one book - WH, I believe? - she thinks to herself that her mother was a 'Captain of the Gold', and so'jhin to the Empress herself. And this is odd because so'jhin are Imperial da'covale, and all the descendants of an Imperial da'covale share that status. The "mark of the raven is forever" business. Yet Egeanin was free. Just a mistake?

Why would Egeanin inherit the later slavery? Cannoli - 07/02/2011 09:27:32 PM 1267 Views

DomA sorted it all out, but yes, I'd read that slavery was hereditary. *NM* newyorkersedai - 07/02/2011 11:09:27 PM 423 Views

You do know that the Papacy and the bishopric of Rome are the same, yes? Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 07:03:51 PM 785 Views

Yes, those children WOULD be slaves. That was the point of the story. Cannoli - 07/02/2011 08:27:05 PM 828 Views
