Bryne/Elaida issues [KOD]


Recommended Posts

There's a little oddity in the beginning of KOD and I'm up for some pointless theories.

 

OK, so all the people in charge of the rebel attack against the Tower will be severely punished or killed, says Elaida, though she wants to keep Gareth for herself. rolleyes.gif Odd thinking. Sure, he's a great captain, but why on earth would she let him control her army INSIDE Tar Valon just like that? What if he would use it against her as revenge? So... is Elaida stupid, does she think HE is stupid or does she think of him in ways not yet revealed and hopes to win him over somehow? :razz: That's not likely to happen.

Hmmm, two thoughts from me. One, Elaida dealt with Bryne on a fairly regular basis while in Andor, so she may think that he might support her as they have a past at least in so far as they have worked together.

 

She at least knows he'd be a good choice for capt of her guards.

 

She MIGHT have the hots for him... but that would go against what we've seen of her thus far. As she is a red through and through MEN don't seem of much use to her.... but anything is possible in RJ world! :razz:

I'm agreeing with Asmo on this. Since she has been around him for so long she might believe she knows how to make him work and can use him easier than other great generals because of that.

 

Morgase was his lover, and for a long time she had nothing but good feelings for the Tower. Elaida probably thinks he can be controlled as well as Gawyn.

 

She's totally lost it, so I wouldn't be surprised if her idea was to punish him and then bind him to the Tower.

I just thought it would be strange to hand over control to the enemy like that. If she really knows Bryne she knows that he's "never really liked Elaida". Perhaps he kept that to himself, though. :razz:

 

Though it must seem odd that he's fighting for the rebels in the first place. Perhaps she thinks she can just buy him over.

 

Ah, yes. Sissy Gawyn. He's a shame! XD
