Egwene's dream of facing Rand

[DemandredFO]

I think I know who the Seanchan woman with Egwene is in her dream of facing Rand.  I think it's Alivia.  I just listened to the part where Alivia says Nyneave was satisfied when Cadsuane didn't know something and then Alivia says how can you be satisfied with not knowing.  This seems like foreshadowing to me because Egwene wants to know everything too.

The only problem I see with that is, in her dream she kept focusing on the sword strpped to the womans back.  Alivia has no sword that I know of, the only Seanchan woman with a sword that I remember is Lellwin Shipless

In Egwenes dream, the seanchan woman is with her. While Alivia is very much with Rand.

What about Egeanin?

What about Egeanin?

 

 

Egeanin is Leilwin Shipless.... it's the name Tuon gave to her and the only one that she'll use now.

She'll come around to her senses, probably. Hopefully. Egeanin was a decently winful character all the way from tSR, and I hate to see her turn out like this. She's also a likely candidate to help Egwene out of her predicament when the Seanchan invade the White Tower, if it happens like that.

 

As for Alivia, she doesn't really want to know everything, just enough to be able to help Rand.

``the only Seanchan woman with a sword that I remember is Leilwin Shipless''

 

When we first encounter her, as she is boarding Bayle Domon's ship in <i>The Great Hunt</i>, she wears a sword on her back. This makes the connection to Egwene's dream a bit tighter, I think. The description in <i>Knife of Dreams</i> is less clear. When Banner-General Karede first sees her in the camp of the Band, he describes the position of the strap holding the sword---over the shoulder to the belt on the opposite side, by the sound of it, but we aren't told where the sword itself is. (But Karede describes the way Leilwin wears her sword as being the way some sailors do, so perhaps that alludes back to the scene in <i>The Great Hunt</i> on Bayle Domon's ship.

The huge problem with the woman being Egeanin is that she is nowhere near the White Tower, and has no reason to go there as it is. If the Seanchan is attacking, even less so.

The last I remember Egeanin she was with Matt who I believe is headed to Caemyln to meet up with Elayne again.  Who knows where they will all head from there.  Its possible that they might head to the WT to help the rebels.
