The Pattern sends in course corrections if things start going off the rails. The rest of the time, it doesn't interfere.


If the pattern wanted Egwene to stay Amyrlin, it could have manipulated events to ensure that outcome.

Why would the Pattern care whether Egwene was Amyrlin or Cadsuane? There's a hairbreadth of difference between their outlooks on most things.
It is the LB, the end of an age, and Egwene is tied to 3 ta'veren.

She's tied to Rand/the Dragon, certainly.

The pattern probably doesn't interfere with the day to day lives of non ta'veren individuals, unless it needs a certain event to happen or a major shift in the direction of wotworld.

Precisely. And Egwene to Cadsuane is far from a major shift.
Cadsuane was the better choice to lead the WT into the new age.

She's barely different. She's going to work for pretty much the same goals, with the same amount of impatience for Aes Sedai tradition, and a lot less patience for it. If anything, she'll be somewhat more effective at taking the Tower down the path Egwene set it.

Well since Cadsuane won't abolish the oaths she'll be dead before she can accomplish much darius_sedai - 23/01/2013 10:00:27 PM 901 Views

I disagree about Cadsuane. Her entitlement issues are pretty significant. darius_sedai - 23/01/2013 11:29:04 PM 825 Views

Age was never a limit to Cadsuane... fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 01:20:46 AM 824 Views
Cadsuane was able to adapt in her dealing with the DR Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:16:31 AM 825 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 02:23:28 AM 771 Views
Seriously ... She constantly reminds herself that Rand is NOT the boy she grew up with darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 05:50:45 AM 871 Views
She seemed to have difficulties with the idea of him in charge, and the idea of him channeling Knightscape - 24/01/2013 04:23:43 PM 960 Views
None of the EF crew did. Mat is even worse about it than Egwene darius_sedai - 25/01/2013 07:12:40 AM 768 Views

Still, Cadsuane is near 300 years old and unless she drops the oaths she's going to be dead soon darius_sedai - 23/01/2013 11:31:17 PM 849 Views

Egwene almost had all of the Westlands united under the authority of the WT? Zeratul - 23/01/2013 11:02:17 PM 751 Views
Who would Egwene ever have knelt to? Knightscape - 23/01/2013 11:53:30 PM 799 Views
Exactly why does she have to kneel? fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 01:31:03 AM 963 Views
Why does Egwene expect people to kneel and kiss her ring Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:08:21 AM 779 Views
She doesn't. She expects people to show respect for the position of Amyrlin darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 02:14:29 AM 776 Views
She did become Dragon Sworn *NM* Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:22:02 AM 531 Views
Where did you get that idea from? darius_sedai - 25/01/2013 07:13:45 AM 777 Views

Cadsuane never swore any oaths to Rand. She agreed to be his advisor nothing more darius_sedai - 27/01/2013 05:35:21 PM 914 Views

Egwene was a complex character Knightscape - 24/01/2013 04:00:04 PM 746 Views

No, but neither would Cadsuane Zeratul - 24/01/2013 02:34:02 PM 855 Views
