wait a sec... scalius Send a noteboard - 30/10/2009 04:31:56 PM
Because Elaida is just going to give them Travelling. They don't even know to ask for Travelling considering no one knows the Aes Sedai know it. They were there to capture marath'damane and they failed utterly - they even had some of their damane captured.


...don't have my book w/ me, and I don't recall the exact wording, but I thought it was made pretty clear that the Seanchan A) know about traveling and are desperate to learn the weave B) know the AS know how to travel C) are also desperate to learn the "bomb" weave (their misguided assumption about Elayne's unraveling experience) and D) Were willing to lose bascially everyone involved in the raid provided they got someone who knew the traveling weave.

Every channeler captured will be questioned thouroughly about traveling and the "bomb"....and one such as Elaida will be broken and the weave will be learned. They succeeded. Unless you think Elaida is so strong of will that she will be able to hold that back?
I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.

Well Brandon Sanderson has officially killed off the last volume of the Epic Saga of the Chosen One. Cannoli - 30/10/2009 02:36:19 AM 2546 Views
Life in unfair, just let Egwene have it already. redhand - 30/10/2009 03:11:04 AM 935 Views
I skimmed cannoli's predictable rant. I disagree. I LOVED EVERY CHAPTER! Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 03:29:24 AM 906 Views
Agreed! *NM* Mats imaginary friend - 30/10/2009 03:47:52 AM 546 Views

Ditto. Thought he was a breath of fresh air to the series. Asha'man - 30/10/2009 03:27:43 PM 804 Views

Actually, Elaida WILL reveal Traveling. We've seen countless times AS broken easily by the Seanchan. *NM* Bookwyrm - 30/10/2009 05:28:06 PM 474 Views
More than likely, but if anyone could avoid giving it up it would be stubborn, self rightous Elaida. Seriana Sedai - 30/10/2009 09:20:31 PM 669 Views

The "Elaida's election was illegal because of Black Ajah Sitters" is really an absurd argument Legolas - 01/11/2009 12:06:32 AM 924 Views
