Why was Cadsuane dropped in out of the blue? (Basically, the problem people were having was that she was supposedly a legend among her sisters, so we should have heard of her before A Crown of Swords .)
Mr. Jordan’s response was that most Aes Sedai hadn’t seen hide nor hair of her in twenty years. To quote: “The assumption on the part of nearly everyone was that she had [emphasis his] to be dead by this time.”
Essentially, I take this to mean they didn’t bother talking or thinking about her because of this assumption. He also stated that “only a few sisters had seen her” during the capturing of Logain and that her involvement with the incident was minimal.
