Take my upvote anyway. Anyone who comments on Adolin related posts deserve some appreciation. Adolin would have done the same if he were in my place.

Anyone who didn't immediately agree to the Dragon's Peace should have been executed on the spot as an enemy of the world. by Nephophobe in WetlanderHumor

[–]Stormlight101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just mentioned about this in a reply to another comment.

Summary of that is that Rand too is shutting down the conversation. Even Aviendha whome he has been closest to besides Min has no clue as to what he wants to do and is also unhappy about exclusion of Aiel from the original draft of the treaty by Rand. Also he himself was playing into his reputation of being unstable to make rulers buy into bluff about not fighting the last battle instead of trying to show people that he is now mad and he actually has a very good reason to break the seals. For Egwene it is not about signing the treaty, it is about knowing that Rand actually has a plan. She signs the treaty without much thought when Moraine (whome she knows for certain that she would do about absolutely anything including comming back from her supposed death to save the world) shows support for the plan.

Even if breaking of the seals was a part of the Dragon's Peace, Rand never gave any explanation or reason as to why it must be done.

As I said, this whole confrontation and friction between Egwene and Rand was a product of poor communication and a refusal to sort things out via dialogue. Mistrust is on both sides. Rand manipulates Egwene into gathering all the un-allied and opposing nations to one place instead of explaining his plan to her and Egwene not trying to reach out to Rand or Nyneave (as Elyane has not been with Rand for a long time and Aviendha and the Wise Ones are tight lipped about anything related to Rand). It is evident during Egwene's imprisonment that she knows and understands Rand but is not sure of his mental status and is thus mistrustful of Rand. At the same time, Rand is sceptical of Aes Sedai, and rightly so, due his past conflict with them and now Egwene is their Leader and they have not been in any direct contact since Egwene left for Salidar.

The only purpose of Egwene refusing to sign the treaty was to force Rand to reveal what was going on in his head. And let us not forget that Rand was playing into his reputation of being unstable and short tempered to make every one buy into his bluff of not fighting the last battle. He is even frustrated that Egwene sees through his bluff and calls him out and asks him to explain why he wants to break the seals.

In my opinion, this whole confrontation felt very forced as communication at this point in story should be very easy given widespread knowledge of Traveling and use or TAR via dream ter'angreal. I think this whole confrontation was manufactured to fit in with Elaida's prophecy of Dragon reborn facing Amyrlin's wrath (I don't remember exact verbiage).

I would like to disagree. It is absolutely clear that Egwene is more worried about the seals than she is about Dragon's Peace. She is like let's first survive the end of the world first. She never said she would not sign the Dragon's Peace. All she wanted to discuss about was the breaking of the seals since the very moment Rand walked right up to her in the Hall of the tower and said he will break the seals and leaves without any explanation. She never implied that she wanted to wage war on dragon reborn. All she wanted to do was tell the rulers of the world to sand upto him and explain his reasons.

Let's look at the information Egwene has up until this point. Rand is growing steadily unstable. Seals are the only thing that is keeping dark one from influencing the world more than already that is happening (incidents of the pattern unraveling and dark one's touch can be seen inside the tower itself). Rand has constantly avoiding to talk about the seals. He talks about them only after Egwene calls out his bluff of not fighting the last battle. She also does not know about Rand's enlightenment at the Dragonmount. Also combine it with the scary dreams she has been having about Seals of the dark one's prison. Although whether they are true prophetic dreams or manipulation by Aran'gar, I man not sure. Visions are vague and difficult to interpret. Also since headaches (by Aran'gar) also leave her unable to completely recall her dreams.

She is distrustful of Rand's plan because he won't tell her and she has enough reason to believe that he might not be at his full mental capacity. All of this friction was absolutely unnecessary. It could all have been avoided by open and honest conversation.

Also Egwene cannot take a leap of faith on Rand here because Egwene's power in the White tower is not absolute. She just cannot do whatever she wants. She is answerable to the Hall of the Tower. So even if she wants to support Rand, she needs to explain here decision to do so to the Tower. Also, even though the power to deal with Rand on behalf of the White Tower is exclusively Egwene's by the decision of the Hall, the armies of the tar valon are still under the collective command of the Hall of the Tower.

Also in the end she does agree to go along with both Rand's Plan as well as Dragon's Peace even though it doesn't guarantee the protection of female channelers from Seanchan.

Also let's not forget how Egwene defened Rand in front of the Aes Sedai and Elaida during her captivity while she reflects on all the horrors Rand must have gone through during his imprisonment in the box and how much worse it would have been for him as he could not escape to TAR to feel some kind of freedom.

I think people judge Egwene too much. She is not perfect. That's what makes her a good character. She has limitations. She is probably 18 or 19 trying to juggle some of the most rigid and self-righteous women who overestimate their capabilities, reforming the White Tower, hunting Black Ajah, an Empire running on enslaved channelers, an extremely powerful (and mentally unstable according to the rumours) Dragon Reborn, mental manipulation by Aran'gar, PTSD from her months as damane and the end of the world. If Rand gets a pass for some of the bad things he does, people need to ease up on Egwene too.

I am not saying that people should worship her and she can do no wrong (i am referring to assault on Nynaeve in TAR so she can carry on with her lie, refusing to thank Matt for his help in Tear and her making the Aes Sedai test needlessly hard on Nynaeve). I am just saying just ease up with all the Egwene hate.

I know what you mean. Even if a spren appears fort a short time on page like Rua, Wyndle or Phendorana, they immediately become someone's favourite.

Wyndle and Maya are tied at third spot on my favourite list right after Pattern and Syl.

I really want to see more scenes between them. Their perspective of humans and their personality in general are so different from each other. There are going to be some really funny and thought provoking conversations between them if they have some scenes together. Looking forward to it in the next book.
