For the love god people!

[F Horn of Valere]

well, the truth sometime hurts!

[JenniferL]

But there is no canonical evidence that there was anyone called "The Tamyrlin Seat" at any point in time.  It's pure speculation.  We know that "The Tamyrlin" and "The High Seat" were two separate titles.  We know that the current leader of the Aes Sedai is "The Amyrlin Seat". But we don't know that those two titles merge at any point.  We have canonical evidence, however, that there is such a position as "The Amyrlin Seat" and the term is used quite frequently in the text.

 

 

Yes, I'm warming up for the book discussions at Dragon*Con. Why do you ask?

[F Horn of Valere]

We have no evidence of a Tamyrlin Seat, but all the evidence points to the current Amyrlin Seat position as derriving from a combination of The Tamyrlin and the High Seat, especially since they where the same person! (at least the last one to hold them both was).

 

The Tamyrlin, High Seat.

 

The Amyrlin, High Seat.

 

The Amyrlin Seat.

 

The Tamyrlin Seat.

 

I hold that the Tamyrlin is a male version of the Amyrlin, and the evidence leans heavily towards supporting that thought, so if the way to make the Amyrlin male is to add the T, logic dictates that the Amyrlin Seat, if made male, would be the Tamyrlin Seat. Though this is strictly from the point of view of having male Aes Sedai... which this site must have if they have a Tamyrlin!

Why doesn't someone just ask RJ?

[Jhaenara]

Yeah, ask the man!

[F Horn of Valere]

Someone should, but if you read what he actually wrote on topic, my stance is heavily supported! ;)

[JenniferL]

Why doesn't someone just ask RJ?

 

I've been asked not to pester him....*rubs her toe on the ground*

 

But anyways, Horn is just speculating. We know that men and women during the Age of Legends were equal. Why on earth would they have a different title for a leader, depending on if the leader was a man or a woman? That's like having a President and a Presidentess. It's especially silly as it is not known whether Tamyrlin was a man or a woman. 

[F Horn of Valere]

Or like having an elected King or Queen.

 

And though it is speculation, it is heavily supported by facts!

[Wayward_fool]

Wouldn't it be silly if we all got upset for no reason?

 

I like being upset for proper reasons. Like, not having enough pie is one. Being locked out of the Closet© is two.

 

I'm just saying, is all.

[F Horn of Valere]

*tears wayward's head off*  ;D

[Segurant]

wait you are using the BWB as reference? :D

 

 

[JenniferL]

You could argue that the BWB isn't canon. However, I think its easier to assume it is. Otherwise, we'll be arguing all day over who is and is not a reliable source of information.  We know the characters can be wrong. We know that several of them lie for their own purposes. "And you believed Ishamael?" But if its printed in a Jordan approved source, we need to accept it as canon.

 

However, Frenchie is still grotesquely wrong and is probably a sailor.

[Mystica]

lmao this is highly amusing..... please continue!!

 

 

oh and for the record, I find the word Tamyrlin quite cute actually. Sorta' a loving nickname, such as snookums or sugarlips. And Frenchie's reasoning seems quite logical to me *nods*

 

*patpats Kath* there there, Tamy, it's not that bad. The Sedai people still love you.  ;D

 

 

 

*looks around* What? I need an eyebrow peeling! why pay if I can get one for free!?

[JenniferL]

I...I....paralyzed with rage...must kill....everyone.

[Mystica]

oh goody *claps* blood!

[F Horn of Valere]

lol on what point do you find me wrong? lol it is clear as glass!

[Loreina]

Still waiting for the 'love god'.... :-*

:D

[Mystica]

oh yeah, love god..... sounds intriguing. *stands next to Loreina*

[Zardi]

Oh, so the love god is coming, then? :D

 

*joins Mystica and Loreina*

[Mystica]

All hail the Love God!

 

 

 

 

I got an epifathingy! What if..... the Love God IS the Tamyrlin and the Sedai people are it's subjects?? hmmmm? Intriguing huh? I know.....

[JenniferL]

I am going to set this entire Org on fire.

[Niamh Sedai]

A fire of lurve right? Dedicated to the Love God and his best friend the Tamyrlin and his harem of girlfriends, the Sedai, right?

[Loreina]

All hail the Tamyrlin,

Love God of the Sedai!

And his Faithful Herald

the Firey Mother!

[JenniferL]

If you weren't the cutest ickle novice ever, I'd be using you for kindling right now.

[Niamh Sedai]

It's fine Kath. When the revolution comes, you'll be first up against the wall as the Tamyrlin takes over  :D
