I got the impression Egwene knew releasing the Source would instantly kill her. Joel Send a noteboard - 14/01/2013 11:42:03 AM
Her megalomania was going strong at the end…naming the weave the Flame of Tar Valon. Really? My God, the ego on that woman. Have you seen people claiming that she had more of a bond to the land than Rand? I thought I’d puke reading that. They’re delusional.

Though I’m thrilled that wench is finally dead, the way it went down annoyed me. I found it ridiculous that she got through the entire ordeal without a scratch on her. And Taim, with that sa’angreal should’ve easily slaughtered her. I did find it amusing that her “sacrifice” and decision to die came not because of Gawyn’s death and the broken bond, but because she realized she would be burned out when she released saidar. There was no way she could handle that, and not being the Amyrlin (and no longer being able to boss everyone around), so she drew in more power and died so the AS would talk about how great she was from now on. :rolleyes:

It was like, "Might as well do something useful while I still have loads of saidar gushing through me; I am already dead regardless." She may have been ego tripping hard, but in the grand scheme, while taking out a Forsaken strength sa'angreal wielding channeler played a pivotal role in the Last Battle (especially since he was throwing column thick balefire at Lightside channelers,) it was fairly trivial. The White Tower may want Thom to write a few sagas about it in High Chant, but everyone else will remember Rand re-sealing the Bore, Lan beheading Demandred with a sword in his gut and Mat winning the Last Battle itself. The Amyrlin Seat just died in one of many battles with the Power, albeit one of the largest. Best of all, she admitted Rand was RIGHT about breaking the Seals, practically with her last breath.

This is because I tend to assume the best in Rand - 10/01/2013 04:28:20 PM 1058 Views

Even if she would just have been burned out there was no reason to think it permanent. - 14/01/2013 06:49:00 PM 1037 Views
Where do people get that only Rand was right on the Seals? - 14/01/2013 10:03:19 PM 1226 Views
One point- the DO didn't break free, Rand dragged him out into the Pattern, specifically to kill him - 15/01/2013 03:03:43 AM 914 Views

Impossible to say, but I doubt he intended to keep his inner circle perpetually in the dark. - 14/01/2013 11:25:47 AM 1183 Views
