Re: It's WoT. You win by surrendering. Metaphysical judo, if you will. Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 18/02/2010 03:23:39 AM
The only way I could see this working, is if Rand kneels, and then instantly (before rumours can spread of his submission) does something to clearly and openly bind Tuon to him, showing evryone that he is not a slave of the Seanchan. Anything else would simply end up costing him too much.


I think that the reasons you gave, plus others, are enough evidence to support the idea that he will both bow to Tuon and Bind her to him in the same meeting.

I actually think the order will be reversed - he will convince her to join his alliance, and then bow to her in thanks and to honour the way she has kept her lands safe for the inhabitants (damane aside).

the entire system of Seekers isn't an abuse of power? Bethamin winds up fleeing due to her fear of darius_sedai - 20/02/2010 12:13:52 AM 847 Views

No, they're the only group that seems to pay more than lip service to the concept of responsibility Cannoli - 20/02/2010 03:37:58 PM 745 Views
You asked for an example of abuse of power. The Seekers are a clear abuse no better than any darius_sedai - 20/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 1104 Views
