I've been saying since wotmania that they are no worse than anyone else. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 19/02/2010 03:23:22 PM
It amuses me that everyone suddenly started praising Seanchan rule as some sort of template for everyone and Rand supposed to bow to them.

Did everyone forget what happen in Seanchan continent when the whole royal family was wiped out? Yes, that's right. Chaos, wars, etc. Talk about "peace" and "justice". :P

Seanchan is no better than anybody else. Their "peace" and "justice" is based on the fear of death and slavery. Their nobility have the same lust for power as everybody else in Randland. And they are willing to scheme, start wars, murder people and spread chaos for that. Even more dangerously than evey other nobility in Westland because they have more means and more power to support it.

If Rand would've wiped them our in tGS - I personally would say "Good riddance".


Me too, but what wetland society is a paragon of social justice? Cairhein and Tear are no better with their aristocracies, the differences between them and the Seanchan being that the Seanchan authority over commoners is so arbitrary as the Tairens & Cairhienin. Name ONE account of Seanchan abuse in the entire series. Even Suroth is a better ruler than most of the High Lords and in some ways a more tolerant conqueror than Rand.

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 902 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 803 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 1154 Views
