The translation... Phelix Send a noteboard - 31/12/2009 06:17:07 PM
If, like Asha'man means not just any guardian, Sedai means "servant" but in the sense of one who serves the will of the Pattern, or one who serves the Light/Creator, I doubt the AS would mind. Being called the Servant of the Pattern implies a much much higher statis than the common people who are mere threads in the Pattern.


of "Aes Sedai" is "Servant of All." I do not think in any of the books we have heard that the "servant" implies anything other than a regular "servant."
I was Phelix on wotmania, I will always be Phelix in the "real" world, and now I am Phelix on RAFO.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true and also fierce you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.- Churchill

No... Phelix - 31/12/2009 08:19:18 PM 499 Views
And Sedai is not a title? fionwe1987 - 31/12/2009 08:47:03 PM 582 Views
Nope, it is an honorific. Phelix - 31/12/2009 09:31:37 PM 648 Views
You're really splitting hairs... fionwe1987 - 01/01/2010 04:06:02 PM 737 Views
That's why I said I was. Phelix - 01/01/2010 06:19:22 PM 648 Views

I think we're pretty much in agreement darius_sedai - 01/01/2010 09:26:26 PM 623 Views
I'd agree with that. Phelix - 01/01/2010 10:20:52 PM 571 Views
I think it's a pride of humility thing.... Phelix - 31/12/2009 06:24:17 PM 578 Views
I think it's meant to be more like "public servant" than "household help" or "farmhand" BlackAdder - 31/12/2009 07:11:28 PM 461 Views
They don't care. The meaning of the honorific is irrelevant - all significance comes from context Cannoli - 01/01/2010 06:08:40 AM 541 Views
