Though this did bring up another interesting idea. Why don't the AS simply swear a fourth oath on the oath rod. "I will not in any way obey a seanchan sul'dam". That would make any captured AS completely useless as a damane. We know from the fact that AS damane cannot kill that the seanchan cannot overcome the power of the oath rod. An oath that forcibly prevented the AS from cooperating with the sul'dam would render them useless, no matter how much torture the Seanchan tried to use since even after the captured AS damane had been broken and wanted to obey, the oath would prevent it.
IIRC, the BA hunters found a flaw with this - when a channeler is bound by two conflicting oaths, the oaths do not cancel but rather they smother the channeler. So if an AS swore that oath and was then collared, they would be asphyxiated.
A crackpot theory I have bandying about in my head

If death is really preferable, how come the 50 captured by Ashaman have not committed mass suicide?

I would think if Mat does that, there would be another bleakness.

Neat. I think we are as a group starting to become more realistic about the future in this issue. *NM*
