Galad is a great option for a political marriage Zeratul Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM
He gives Berelain a connection to the Queen of Andor, he's the LCC of the Children, who are still significant military force and retain some political influence and also a connection to the Dragon Reborn through Elayne (who she thinks the Dragon intends to marry). Add to that he's apparently the most handsome man alive, I am not too bothered that Berelain fell in love with him so quickly.

When she learns that Galad is Rand's half-brother, his other half-brother is marrying the Amyrlin, and Galad's cousin Caraline is marrying the King of Tear, Berelain's love will get even stronger. :)

Egwene vs. Gawyn (ToM spoilers of course) Cannoli - 28/04/2011 05:01:46 AM 3918 Views
There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 461 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 915 Views
What is to discuss here? You hate Egwene and will spin anything to put her in a negative light darius_sedai - 28/04/2011 12:59:58 PM 973 Views
As a complete outsider w/ no dog in this fight.... scalius - 28/04/2011 04:06:39 PM 1020 Views
Who said anything about him not presenting his argument well? darius_sedai - 29/04/2011 03:20:46 PM 1002 Views
Puns are pointless if the whole word is censored. *sigh* Cannoli - 28/04/2011 06:18:11 PM 1178 Views
But he's so good at it. all the pieces are in there and close to the right place... like a picasso. Onarishma - 03/05/2011 12:51:54 AM 942 Views
Sorry about that... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 977 Views
I'd say there's no need to take it so seriously when there's so few posts lately. You should see newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 05:59:19 PM 878 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* AshaShan - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 703 Views
Great work, Cannoli Zeratul - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 936 Views
Regarding the mother's permission.... Cannoli - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM 1000 Views
while i agree with you on most of this Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1064 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 844 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* Zeratul - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 452 Views
Here's a scary thought redqueen - 28/04/2011 11:54:50 PM 1144 Views
OMGWTFBBQ!? Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 11:58:37 PM 899 Views
you could say the same about a lot of the relationships in this series Ava - 28/04/2011 04:59:19 PM 1014 Views
I agree there are plenty of underdeveloped and somewhat one-sided relationships in the series ßelals Girl - 28/04/2011 08:15:52 PM 1058 Views

In regards to the letters... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1103 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject Zeratul - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 919 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 884 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1038 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 837 Views
Marriage redqueen - 28/04/2011 08:27:53 PM 860 Views
Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1058 Views
Here's the thing though... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 889 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. Cannoli - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1053 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 29/04/2011 10:52:03 PM 848 Views
That's not really clear Zeratul - 29/04/2011 11:41:20 PM 980 Views
Actually, it is... fionwe1987 - 30/04/2011 06:37:42 PM 991 Views
Re: Actually, it is... urizen - 30/04/2011 11:17:21 PM 875 Views
Didn't Siuan, Gareth and Gawyn tell her about the Bloodknife they encountered? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/05/2011 02:33:08 PM 876 Views
Re: Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 11:36:24 PM 898 Views
My two cents: yes, a little, maybe, and possibly not. newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 06:05:09 PM 1026 Views
Regarding your reference to another Emond's Fielder: What are you talking about? Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:06:13 PM 883 Views
both together, couldn't separate them in my mind - perrin's evasiveness or nyn's trickiness *NM* newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 10:16:57 PM 469 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage Zeratul - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 873 Views
Yes, but... redqueen - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 914 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything mazza3 - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 949 Views
Exactly redqueen - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 793 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1248 Views
Except... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:16:25 PM 912 Views
Well... redqueen - 29/04/2011 12:14:42 AM 861 Views
Re: Well... fionwe1987 - 29/04/2011 08:39:37 AM 845 Views
Except they're both really hot. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 10:01:46 PM 1047 Views
They were naive redqueen - 28/04/2011 11:10:34 PM 873 Views
Re: They were naive Cannoli - 29/04/2011 03:18:42 PM 1113 Views
I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. Joel - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1011 Views

"McClellanesque", eh? I'll have to remember that one. Joel - 16/05/2011 12:12:23 AM 1150 Views
Good points all round (do you switch brains when getting into real world politics? ) & re: the Talk Cannoli - 12/05/2011 02:04:06 PM 831 Views
I remember being blindsided by "The Talk" in tSR beetnemesis - 12/05/2011 05:04:08 PM 842 Views
Thanks, (and no, you just become less and less astute as we move farther from fiction. ) Joel - 15/05/2011 11:46:41 PM 1188 Views
