I ...Egwene was always Siuan's choice, for sure. I didn't discuss this because there is no hint to the contrary. <br /><br />It would be impolitic of Siuan to pull Moiraine away from Rand, when she was Siuan's only hope of influencing him along Aes Sedai policy lines. Furthermore she would <i>never</i> have been able to sell Moiraine to the rebel Hall as someone they could manipulate. <br /><br />Siuan sold Egwene to the Hall as 'the biddable child' because she believed it herself. And they agreed to Egwene for that reason. It was the hope of each faction to be the one to do the manipulating of Egwene. That's why they raised her and didn't continue to compete with each other for the prize of being Amyrlin.<br /><br />Moiraine - yet another Blue! - would not have been a candidate the rebels would agree on. Heck, in TGH even the Blues' allies considered Moiraine unreliable and were in favour of having Moiraine disciplined. They also knew she was involved with Siuan in hiding the Dragon Reborn from them.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-1471505270859963632009-10-09T23:12:10.261-04:002009-10-09T23:12:10.261-04:00Great job Linda.

I feel better prepared to face tGS now!<br /><br />One thing I felt needed to be discussed. Was Egwene always the choice for Rebel Amyrlin? I've always felt that Siuan wanted Moiraine, and that Sheriam and co. were all for it till her death forced them to look to Egwene.bookrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499739437432944962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-2026016147332101842009-10-09T23:11:34.408-04:002009-10-09T23:11:34.408-04:00Great job Linda.
