My take on Egeanin Tamarath. I spent a lot of time futzing with this one, trying different things, but nothing was working out in the end. So I figured it was time to just finish this one in my usual style and move on to trying new rendering techniques on the next one.

Egeanin almost dropped her porcelain cup. “It … can be learned?"

I love this moment. Egeanin has already discovered that one sul'dam can be held by the a'dam, and now she finds out that women can learn to channel. Her whole worldview is getting tumbled pretty thoroughly.

"Mistakes was a gentle way to put it. Near a dozen women who came only vaguely near the descriptions had been nuisances she could ignore once she had seen them. But that noblewoman, a refugee from estates burned out by the war. Gelb had kidnapped the woman off the street, thinking to earn more for delivering her than for telling where she was. In his defense, the Lady Leilwin closely matched one of the women Egeanin sought, but she had told him they would not speak with any accent he recognized, certainly not a Taraboner accent. Egeanin had not wanted to kill the woman, yet even in Tanchico someone might have listened to her story. Leilwin had gone bound and gagged onto one of the courier boats in the dead of night; she was young and pretty, and someone would find a better use for her than slitting her throat. But Egeanin was not in Tanchico to find serving girls for the Blood." —The Shadow Rising, Chapter 38, Hidden Faces

I'd totally forgotten about this when I read Winter's Heart. I wonder what her thought process was when she decided to use Leilwin for her cover-name.

in honor of the cowboys, I will never stop reminding yall that Egeanin was deradicalized by hanging out with literally the two biggest weirdos she could find and going "they're so normal. I would do treason for them"

When Bayle and Egeanin met, it was love at first boarding...
