And even the so called 'good' Aes Sedai where far from reliable in this regard. To paraphrase JK Rowling: "The Aes Sedai are not dived into good women and Black Ajah". Elaida anyone? Or pretty much most Reds?<br /><br />I think the real problem with this issue is that given the events in New Spring, Siuan the Armyrlin displays far too much ignorance of the Black Ajah in The Great Hunt & Dragon Reborn to be plausible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-45194857460586377412011-10-05T05:39:31.640-04:002011-10-05T05:39:31.640-04:00She didn't tell the Hall that Moiraine was wan...She didn't tell the Hall that Moiraine was wandering around with a little book that had all the possible boy babies born on/near Dragonmount in those crucial days and was methodically tracking them all down. The Black Ajah did not have access to the full list since they never had anyone doing the same (but killing these children) for 20 years.<br /><br />Nor did Siuan tell the Hall that Moiraine had identified Rand as the Dragon Reborn and two fellow ta'veren even though she visited Fal Dara to see the three.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-82459081596773533112011-10-05T05:02:48.180-04:002011-10-05T05:02:48.180-04:00"While Amylin, Siuan never told the Aes Sedai..."While Amylin, Siuan never told the Aes Sedai or even the Hall what she was trying to do. Had she though, Rand would have been killed; with so many Black Sitters in the Hall. She was right to keep her plans secret even though it meant she could be undermined by the Black Ajah or ambitious women. It was the price Siuan paid." <br /><br />This is, to put bluntly, bunk. As shown in New Spring, the BA and the Shadow knew about the Dragon being reborn from day 1. Alll Siuan accomplished was keeping the "good" Aes Sedai in the dark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
