but what wetland society is a paragon of social justice?


No, it's not. My point was that if you have the same two evils, why suddenly pick one, if you already subjected to the other? It's pointless. But that what I'm reading from some of the posters, that somehow Seanchan rule should be accepted because presumably it's better.

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.


I would pick as an example of abuse the execution of Mistress of Ships and her husband.

As far as we know:

a) Sea Folks were never declared a war on Seanchan, but rather were attacked by Seanchan, so why executing the leaders of people you attacked? That's injustice to me.

b) Sea Folks were never subjects of Arthur Hawkwings empire and Seanchan can't claim that they betrayed any oaths. Again, why demanding swearing oaths from Sea Folks and then executing when they are disobeying, when Sea Folk were never subjects of the old empire in the first place?

c) Seanchan executed Mistress just to spread the fear among other Sea Folks, because as far as we know, the others that were resisting the invasion, were not executed, but rather put into slavery. That means the Seanchan "justice" is not equal to all. Who knows what other injustices are there.

d) We've seen some sort of accounts of abuse, or rather aftermath of these accounts, when Altarans are running afraid from Deathwatch Guards for example. Usually people are running afraid from someone, when someone shown violence and abuse in the past. For example, you don't see any other commoner running afraid from any other nobels or solders in other Randland countries. Even Tear, where abuse of commoners was allowed. But we see it in Altara.
