Egwene has just found out the Salidar Aes Sedai have decided to make her the Amyrlin Seat. Egwene notes that she isn't Aes Sedai, but the sisters say it isn't an actual requirement, that she will be Aes Sedai by becoming the Amyrlin Seat, but she doesn't have to be Aes Sedai to become the Amyrlin Seat. She can't understand why they would choose someone so inexperienced and untrained, regardless of her superior strength in the power.
