I also laughed when I read the words "sound academic advice to [murder people]" Now there's a phrase that can't come up too often, given the context...

It is clear that RJ has a 6 book build up leading to Demandred's exposure, and that he has done it in this secretive fashion for a reason.

The obvious answer is that he had to hold Demandred in reserve, because once Demandred is unleashed, his sole mission will be to kill Rand and RJ doesn't want that confrontation to happen until the end.


My favourite candidate is Galgan, though I think this has pretty much been disproved already. If Demandred was Galgan, it would be monumental, and would confirm a strong alliance with Semirhage in Seanchan. Galgan is also a great general and of the High Blood, so that's very much Demandred's style.

As for dueling, I think those days are over. Rand has decided to balefire all the Forsaken, and he has some sound academic evidence to do so. At best, he and Demandred will role around shooting balefire at one another. But a complex duel with skill is out of the question, because Rand won't take part in such a thing. Even before he knew of their resurrection he was using balefire against Sammael and Rahvin. Demandred, on the other hand, is hesitant to use it.

As I said previously, I'm hoping Demandred and Mat face off as generals with their military knowledge. In the end Mat will kill Demandred - saved by his ter'angreal.

Moridin IMO will be all Rand's to deal with - 07/06/2010 10:56:28 PM 1111 Views
Moridin vs Rand will likely not be an OP fight. - 07/06/2010 11:06:16 PM 1190 Views

While Traveling is certainly a tactical advantage, I think the Seanchan won't be able to use it. - 06/06/2010 11:15:56 PM 1215 Views

That's just it ... Egwene, Elayne and Rand have already thought of it and considered the uses - 07/06/2010 10:04:50 PM 1249 Views
Egwene to pass information? You're joking, right? - 07/06/2010 10:59:25 PM 1355 Views

I think the thing from books 4-6 has to do with dreaming/TAR abilities. - 08/06/2010 12:09:53 AM 1157 Views

What's to prevent him from hiding as a female? *NM* - 06/06/2010 10:30:08 PM 554 Views
Forgive me if I don't give that possibility serious consideration. - 06/06/2010 10:36:20 PM 1160 Views
Bc it's clearly way too dissatisfying. And Demmy's certainly too proud to hide as a woman! *NM* - 07/06/2010 01:01:52 AM 623 Views
