Welp, my acronymming of the characters involved to avoid spoilers for people who haven't read it is now pointless. ;) :P :P<br/><br/>I get that it was against "Tradition," but for an institute that puts great stock in laws and rules to keep people from distrusting and disliking the AS, it always seemed odd to me that even the eventual Amyrlin from TR (deliberately not mentioning her name :P ) didn't put it into an actual<em>law,</em>haha. The fact is that even people who knew about the forceful bonding only showed distaste at the idea, and I always got the impression that they disliked what had happened to RA'T simply because they were scared shitless of him. XD<br/><br/>Although interestingly, there are no Wiki Pages on "Forced Bonding" and no mention of it in the "Bonding" page, so I can't rightly go and double check if any of this is actually accurate. XD<br/><br/>Anywho, my initial point stands; if it ever happened to Galvren, he would be pissed.<br/><br/><br/>However, just for consistencies sake, perhaps we should iron out whether it's "against the law" or just simply "frowned upon" before it comes up in-story. That way, everybodies understanding of the issue is synchronised. :P
