I still haven't lost all faith... I think the pending Seanchan conflict will kill the Oaths darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 01/04/2011 01:50:50 PM
The nations won't argue that logic and will likely thank the AS for the help. Asha'man bonding to AS is another reality that can't be changed and as linking becomes more common the Oaths become even less effective.

And eventually the AS will dissolve or vanish since channelers have other options that don't involve cutting your life in half. Once hard liners like Romanda die off the younger and less orthodox AS will begin to see the necessity of removing them.

I honestly doubt the nations will have much to say given the WO, AM and WF groups are unbound and a reality to deal with. Hell I think they'd rather deal with unbound AS if it means at least understanding the culture of the woman in front of you. Must be much more frightening to deal with a channeler whose culture you don't understand and may be offended at any number of strange things.

I also believe Elayne has set a bad precedence with the Kin... In one fell swoop she just enabled all the nations to quietly employ channelers. I wonder how the AS will react to one of their own making such a move. Wile you can argue that she is AS and is merely taking the loose Kin under control, she did make an agreement between the Throne and the Kin, NOT the WT and the Kin. If I were the ruler of another nation I would be much more scared of that agreement. Is it only a matter of time until Tear and Illian make arrangements with the WF for some kind of mutual aid against the Seanchan?
