Question on Lan

[schneb]

How far out did Elayne go to gather her troops? She probably only visited those places she knew would support her - and as the 2Rivers wasn't previously in focus for either Ellayne or her mother it wouldn't have been a place that come to mind when she went out to ask for help. She went to people she thought would support her claim.

 

Another couple of reasons she didn't go. She went to nobles for support. Two rivers has no nobility, who would muster the troops? But more importantly, she politically needed to distance herself from Rand. How would it look if she had his friends/family put her on the throne? It would be the same as him putting her on the throne himself.

Yall can argue over manatheren all you want, but the blight is retreating and I for one think the malkier crane will fly once more over the kingdom. Lan and Nynaeave, king and queen....big sigh... its gotta happen that way doesnt it??? :shock:

Perrin will probably rule gheal and two rivers area as a kingdom with mat as his general or equal remember RJ is southern and im sure that this idea of two rivers serperating from the powerful caemlyn(sp) would appeal to him. What is Elayne going to say ? i just got carhein and caemlyn and im pissed that you guys are leaving? heck no she should understand that the two rivers was getting ravaged by trollocs and half-men and was saved not by the queens gaurds but by the people of the land. .... Lan and Nyn will rule malkier and Fal Mora area at the end as well because i think that most of the kings will follow Lan's banner into TG in effect electing him king of Majority of Borderlands, since after TG there will be no more border to the blight it will just become another plain country.

I don't think Andor should have much claim over the two rivers cuz the only reason the "rebellion" existed was cuz a $hitload of trollocs and Myrddraal attacked it and no queens guards drove them bak. As for Lan, he is a living King, Manetheran has no king and doesn't exist.
