Moiraine's Early Prediction About Egwene's Career

[Tim Bruening]

I just got blown away by the following foreshadowing in The Eye Of The
World:

Paperback page 171: Moiraine has just tested Egwene for potential AS
hood. Moiraine makes her stone flash, then Egwene makes it flash a
little. Moiraine speculates that Egwene may go as far as the Amyrlin
Seat!

Spoilers from Lord of Chaos to the Gathering Storm:

When Moiraine is rescued, she will be utterly flabbergasted to learn
that Egwene has been raised to the Amyrlin Seat during her vacation in
Finnland!

Does Egwene remember Moiraine's prediction that she might go as far as
the Amyrlin Seat?

It wasn't that much of a prediction. She knew how strong Egwene was,
and how rank in the Tower is often based on strength.

I still find it interesting that RJ chose to have Moiraine speculate that
Egwene might become Amyrlin in tEotW, and have Egwene become Amyrlin in LOC.

Nynaeve is even stronger than Egwene, yet I don't recall anyone ever
speculating that she might become Amyrlin!

That's most likely because Nynaeve was a complete bitch and not in a
conniving way. She lacks the subtlety required for politics in the
"real" world. "Real" as in not Emonds Field.

Add that the fact that Egwene was interested to become Aes Sedai while
Nynaeve tried denying she had anything to do with the one power.

Nynaeve eventually did become enthusiastic about being an Aes Sedai. At that point,
why didn't anyone start suggesting her as a future Amyrlin?
