But... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 10/12/2009 05:54:39 PM

If they were not crimes, she owes it to her "daughters" and to the Tower and justice to shield them from unjust punishment. Either way, she had no cause to blackmail them.

But how could she shield them from anyone when their own actions had left her a useless puppet? Egwene doesn't seem to think hiding the spies from the Hall was a crime. Siuan even mentions the eminently logical reason of fearing the Black Ajah. That won't stop the Hall from being unreasonable, and Egwene had no way to stop them. She planned to stay silent about their actions, but she did intend to use them to ensure that these women treated her as they are supposed to treat an Amyrlin.

Also, an Oath of Fealty, especially from an Aes Sedai, is vastly different from an Oath of absolute obedience.

What crime? Accepting her unethical promotions? Being afraid of the Hall's injustice? Cannoli - 10/12/2009 03:51:05 PM 782 Views

It does NOT violate Tower Law, as Myrelle herself said, and Siuan admits. Cannoli - 17/12/2009 12:23:25 PM 712 Views

No she was right, and even her blackmail, as reprehensible as that was, was not an act of tyranny Cannoli - 10/12/2009 03:56:41 PM 826 Views
