Re: Mine Sidious Send a noteboard - 28/12/2015 09:51:54 AM


Heh, seems like a popular compliment.

It's a fact, not a compliment I think he did a bad job overall.


I take your word for OP and def agree about Mat.

When Graendal fought half the White Tower at TG I almost threw the book into the fire.


Mmmh. But AoL was very different from current Randland. Nobody even remembered what war was, and people seemed to turn to the Shadow for the flimsiest reasons (Asmodean). Though of course, no Black sister could have known that the Last Battle would come in their lifetime. But in AoL, the need to be recognized would likely have been greater, current Aes Sedai already enjoy the highest social status possible, whereas in AoL, being able to channel didn't automatically make you a goddess.

That is true. There are many aspects to consider. It may have been more of a social club for some of the AS. We have seen non-AS darkfriends who made the Oaths frivolously and then saw that it did indeed bind them in ways they didn't expect. Secondly, there were evil women just like in any culture and the BA allowed them to perform evil deeds like torture, murder and compulsion. Finally, many of them were threatened or coerced to turn or die.
