I'm so sick of them. I think it permanently makes the Aes Sedai illegitimate and passive.


Agreed. But while the Oaths were initially taken out of self-preservation (people had very, very little reason to trust or tolerate channelers after the Breaking) they've been a part of Aes Sedai culture for so long that to remove them would be unimaginable. It's an interesting example of what was once a sensible and necessary gesture becoming over time a hindrance and then a danger.

But it won't last. There are too many groups of channelers now, male and female, and none of the rest of them have sworn the oaths. They'll put the Aes Sedai at too much of a disadvantage.

I disagree. The Oaths are among the least irritating of the many irritating things about Aes Sedai. - 27/03/2010 09:56:34 PM 655 Views
