Liandrin... What's she going to do?

[brown_hound]

Fair to say she's been off the radar for close to 10 books, however, is still lurking.

 

Gut feeling says she's coming back... In a big way! Maybe with Moggy on side? Should she disobey/escape the cour'souvra...

 

 

What's the consensus?

[Nightstrike]

I think it's unlikely that Liandrin will play an important part in the last book. There are probably enough enemies to fight anyway.

 

Moghedien will probably not be released from the mindtrap. Moridin might be replaced as Nae'blis, but then someone else might get her cour'souvra. Moggy would have been dead on the DO's orders if she hadn't caused harm "by accident". If she is released from the cour'souvra, then I guess it won't be on the DO's orders.

Nah, was last seen hidden in Suroth's household. She was a servant that Suroth demanded that she go be beaten right before Semirage appeared and explained how she killed the entire Royal Family (save for Tuon). So she really has only been missing for two books. But still, it could be very Damning to the Aes Sedai if the Seanchan ever take control of her with a collar. After all, she can lie.

The best Liandrin can hope for is to continue on as a da'covale. Most likely though a sul'dam or damane will eventually pick up on her ability to channel and she'll end up as Seanchan's most useless damane.

They already know she can channel, only she really can't, so they didn't make a damane out of her.

I think only Suroth knew for certain, and maybe some of her confidants.

 

It was time to have the woman collared, however. Already irritating rumors buzzed of an uncollared marath'damane among her servants. It would be a twelve-day wonder when the sul'dam discovered she was shielded in some way so she could not channel, yet that would help answer the question of why she had not been leashed before.

 

This is Suroth's POV from the prologue to KoD.

[yoniy0]

See, I read that as people knowing about her potential, if not about her Shield. After all, she was caught as a marath'damane, wasn't she? And if it wasn't general knowledge, at least it's not a well kept secret, since the rumors were irritating.

[Sharaman]

I'm with Yoniy0 here. Her potential is visible I guess.

Maybe Moridin will briefly 'switch' with Rand,

reveal his participation in getting Hawkwing to hate Aes Sedai and reveal this to Tuon.

AND, as proof of Aes Sedai purity, he will mention Liandrin is one of his 'servants' while

Egwene proves her White Tower is - as its namesake - immaculate.
