pet theory: why the Reds turn against Elaida

[Jethro]

Indeed, the only character who can be said to possibly believe Taim to be a darkfriend is Logain (and we really don't know if Logain believes him to actually be a darkfriend or merely out for himself).

 

Good point, yet when Logain presents his report on Taims behaviour the conversation is between Bashere, Logain and Rand, and in that conversation they discuss attempts being made to steal the seals and Taims behaviour. Rand says to Bashere "When the enemy presents two targets..." It is obvious that the Seals are one and Taim is the other, Rand links them together himself.

I think I got more of this right than one might expect.

Yeah wow, that turned out to be eerily accurate - I only hope some of my predictions end up being that correct! Good job man!

I'm impressed. Would you like to work as a stock analyst? I think you would do very well.  ;D

I think I'll pass on this one.  Stock analysts need to be right more than once in a while.

Ya, sweet call dude.

 

Another post in this thread comes close and pretty muchs sums up Egwene's storyline in ToG:

 

Hmm, even though I like the idea, and it makes sense, it does seem kind of... anti climatic. "Yay! We are the Rebel Aes Sedai! We'll build an army to remove the stole from Elaida's neck, and still her! Let's choose a new Amyrlin, let's get a Great Captain! Let's build a huge army to beseige an island not even the greatest conqueror in the world has managed to conquer. We've trampled through countless lands, faced the snows of winter, seen the dark one break free, sent emissaries to the world powers in order to legitimize our claim, and here we are. BRING IT, ELAIDA!"

 

The Tower:- "Oh, Elaida's been deposed already. Sorry, come back next time we pick a crazy Amrylin!"

 

As for the Red Ajah, it's been stated a couple of times that they are the largest of the Ajahs, number wise at least. Anyone who tries to disband the Red is prolly gonna end up deposed.
