Oaths

[Guest leebarr]

Sorry but can not recall names at this time but here it goes. Early in KOD chapther 2 i think an AS from the rebels goes and sees Eldia (mispelled) giving an oath saying she will only teach the new weaves she learned from the rebels to the armolan. then later in the book Ewgene conforts her and she admites that Ewgene is still armolan. so how will that work. she can not break any oath unless she is black and she does not appear to be one so does her oath to Eldia hold

Dear god, I haven't seen one person spell ELAIDA right yet. What is so hard about this? lol you even said it was mispelled but didn't correct it! Is this some inside joke on these forums?

She's not black ajah, she convinced herself that Egwene had lost and was no longer the Amyrlin Seat, which means that all her oaths to Egwene are ended. This is all explained later when she runs into Egwene and Egwene starts using her again.

I have another question:  when Egwene asked Beonin if she had revealed any new weaves to the tower and Beonin didn't respond.  Did I miss something, how did Egwene take from this that Beonin had remained faithful to the rebels?  Thanks

I got the feeling that Beonin managed to convince Egwene that she only betrayed the ferrits, and because Elaida is keeping a tight rein on on the new weaves Leanne is still being asked about them so it seems that Beonin did not pass that out.

 

My question is what happens if Egwene orders Beonin to pass out a weave?

From the time Beonin leaves the rebel camp and until she meets Egwene in the hallway, she believes that Elaida is the Amyrlin as she is certain that Egwene has lost, and as such she does what Elaida tells her. After the hallway meeting, she flip-flops and is again under Egwene's thumb.

 

For the time being, if Egwene orders her to do anything (within her right), Beonin will follow those instructions. So, as far as I can understand it, if Egwene orders Beonin in no uncertain terms to not teach Elaida any new weaves or whatever, then she won't. She will probably get some sort of cruel punishment from Elaida because of it though.

She has already told Elaida everything.  When Beonin taught Elaida the new weaves she also swore never to teach them again with out permission of the Amerlyn Seat.  So a good test of who Beonin believes to be the Amerlyn would be for Egwene to order her to teach the weave to someone.
