*I wonder... Egwene mentions that she HAD to break this rule, just to keep up with the grueling pace her instructors set for her. At the time in tGH, it just seemed like the WT was a tough place to be a novice, but I wonder if this was a subtle example of the "forcing?" God knows there was never an explicit scene of the WT forcing Egwene as far as I can remember.


i thought that egwene was forced during her time with the seanchan.
