As to Elaida's posting, I'm sure the Tower just allows AS to run amok and choose to be the official advisor to whomever they please. It's such an open and unstructured organization and all ... Oh course Elaida WANTED the job, no one is disputing that ... But would they have allowed a weak sister who had gained the Shawl only months prior to have it? If you think they would you are smoking something.
