Well... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 05/06/2011 04:55:26 PM

I don't see Rand being comfortable with this arrangement, either. We don't know yet what the terms will be, so it's a bit premature to assume that peace with the Seanchan means the Westlands will allow them to chain all channelers as damane. Mat would certainly never agree to Bode and his friends being tortured and broken. His parting words to Seta and Bethamin in ToM ("Maybe someday you two can convince Tuon of the truth. Help me find a way to fix this without causing the Empire to collapse." ) suggest Mat's role will instead be to convince Tuon to free the damane.

I think the whole point of Aviendha's visions of the future (which conveniently occurred just before Merrilor) was to convince the Wise Ones to make peace with the Seanchan. Otherwise they would probably never have agreed to it no matter what their Car'a'carn said.

No. I think the visions show that if they accept the peace just for the Car'a'carn, and leave the reasons for enmity unchanged, they risk their children, or their children's children starting a war out of frustration.

Anyway, if the peace accord is such that the current Seanchan captives are released, and they only keep their original damane, I don't even see Egwene objecting. She has made clear she prioritized the Last Battle over fighting the Seanchan. Clearly, that isn't going to happen, though.
