The Bloodknife which Gawyn encountered first was probably just scouting the area and not about to make an assassination attempt. It makes no sense to attack the Amyrlin on his own when there were three others Bloodknives still alive at that time. They probably knew about the possibility of wards too.

I'd say the main reason Egwene came close to being killed was that whole plan with the wards and using herself as bait had a huge glaring hole. She should've simply secretly Traveled to a safe location every night (one of the hundreds empty apartments in the Tower, for example) and not risk herself, and then Travel back to her rooms if the wards were activated. But why use common sense when you can rely on a plot armor and luck to save you? ;)


The Seanchan have never used wards. And as the sul'dam tells Gawyn, they test who they can kill easily.

What would have happened is that this Bloodknife would have tried to enter Egwene's room and would have been captured by the wards. Instead, Gawyn got captured by them, and the Bloodknives ended up figuring out how the wards work anyway.


But what would she have really found out from the Bloodknife? That knife-wielding Power-boasted assasins are lurking in the WT?
She got that knowledge from Gawyn anyhow. That she failed to connect the dots is not Gawyn's fault.

Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 942 Views
Sorry about that... - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 1003 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 711 Views

hmpf, i post a good point and nothing - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 863 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 460 Views

In regards to the letters... - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1131 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 940 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 903 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1061 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 858 Views

Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1090 Views
Here's the thing though... - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 912 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 894 Views
Yes, but... - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 940 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 974 Views
Exactly - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 822 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1276 Views

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1043 Views
