OGIER GARDENERS

[kilika]

Ok i have always wondered y the Ogier gardeners from Seachan never felt the longing?

Surely they came from Stedding just as our native Randland Ogier, so y dont they feel the effects of the longing?

 

Any thoughts?

If I remember correctly Jordan said there are far more stedding in Seanchan than there are in the Westlands, so the Ogier were always able to find one to stay in during the breaking, and thus never developed the longing.

Captain Guybon is correct.  Here is the quote:

 

Week 3 Question: How do the Seanchan Ogier cope with the Longing, given that their duties in the Deathwatch Guard take them overseas? Are there many Steddings in Seanchan?

 

Robert Jordan Answers: There are many more stedding in Seanchan than there are in the part of the world where the story is taking place, and that is why the Seanchan Ogier don't suffer from the Longing. Because there are so many more stedding, they were able to find them more easily even during the Breaking and therefore never had the very extended separation that Ogier on this side of the Aryth Ocean had, though they seldom were able to settle in one for very long until the Breaking ended.
