Nice ideas! Sidious Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 02:10:43 PM

Yes I forgot about Moghedien being a species of spider. Be'lal is probably the Envious, and even Moiraine makes it plain that it was his strong trait.

Semirhage may be the Lady of Pain, or perhaps crudely translated it would be the Woman of Agony or something.

Demandred has many possibilities. My first choice would be 'the Covetor', but another strong possibility is the 'False Prophet' because he was a potential Dragon, who went rogue.

Mesaana's probably centered on revenge, Graendal's on lust, and Asmodean on 'Unfulfilled Talent' or perhaps something directly surrounding his music.

Yeah... Etzel - 17/06/2010 09:31:15 AM 1879 Views
Semirhage is named as "The Lady of Pain" in KoD, by Rand... Shannow - 17/06/2010 11:14:56 AM 2238 Views
You are right... Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:31:05 AM 1779 Views
Do Semirhage & Bel'al actually mean those things or are they other nicknames? Cannoli - 17/06/2010 11:38:18 AM 1713 Views

The beauty of a re-read is that there are so many little gems I'd forgotten darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:48:19 PM 1456 Views

Gai'shain = those sworn to peace in battle Great Lord of Chaos - 17/06/2010 09:22:02 PM 1516 Views
Gaidin = Brother to Battle ... which is what I think the OP meant to use darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:32:20 PM 1475 Views
Presumably he meant "Dai Shan", or "Battle Lord", as he said. Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:37:07 PM 1535 Views
or that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:45:49 PM 877 Views

As always, KOuellette - 20/06/2010 02:25:07 PM 1447 Views
I always thought Lanfear probably translated to something closer to a Moon translation darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:43:04 PM 1786 Views
it's the other way around... DomA - 17/06/2010 02:58:33 PM 1521 Views
good point darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 03:13:17 PM 1508 Views
Re: good point DomA - 17/06/2010 04:05:50 PM 1561 Views
Not to mention she STILL hasn't earned a 3rd (or in 4th) name darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 04:16:57 PM 1539 Views
What about Cyndane Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:48:03 PM 1440 Views
It must be her favorite one, since it's the only one she actually earned *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:43:41 PM 793 Views
Well she earned Mierin *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:27:05 PM 908 Views
how so? I figured mom and dad gave that one too her *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:36:24 PM 815 Views
she earned it by being born... ha! gotcha *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:39:10 PM 780 Views
HA! But technically I think her mother earned that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:30 PM 704 Views
well she earned Eronaile by virtue of her genetics *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:04:36 PM 786 Views
Tee hee ... I'd credit her father on that one *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:31:19 PM 829 Views
Re: good point Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:47:01 PM 1606 Views
Again, a self-proclaimed ownership aimed at making her seem more impressive darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:55:12 PM 1527 Views
I disagree Etzel - 17/06/2010 06:20:08 PM 1578 Views
Personally I think that order was off the cuff darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:55:28 PM 1696 Views

The point isn't if Lanfear has the skill, it's that it was poorly shown. darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 05:31:11 PM 1554 Views
I think it's shown well Sidious - 18/06/2010 06:10:55 PM 1712 Views
your own examples show only OP prowess though! darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:54:38 PM 1650 Views
How can you say Semirhage didn't achieve anything? Rurouni_Kenshin - 18/06/2010 01:59:44 AM 1582 Views
I'm partial to Sammael myself. Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 02:24:49 AM 1414 Views
The statement makes clear that those 6 were all quite impressive Etzel - 17/06/2010 10:51:49 PM 1343 Views
I don't see that bearing out in the text at all darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:57:36 PM 1552 Views
Well, with this point I don't disagree.. *NM* Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:10:34 PM 1453 Views

not ballsy, just psycho darius_sedai - 20/06/2010 07:25:46 PM 1546 Views
Like Etzel I don't agree Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:30:37 PM 1450 Views
I think she's a weak villain darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:01 PM 1406 Views

And Dragon translations... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:53:02 PM 1670 Views
Re: And Dragon translations... darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:01:25 PM 1480 Views
Why would they call themselves "Spears of the fictional creature"? Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 12:29:49 AM 1430 Views
It was meant as a joke, but really it could be some generic term rather than meaning darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:00:36 AM 1491 Views
Except that they don't know what a 'Dragon' is, except as it relates to Lews Therin/Rand Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 05:11:30 PM 1473 Views
like I said, I was just making a joke of it ... you are quite right with "Rand's Spears" darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 05:32:42 PM 1297 Views
But of course the NT word for Dragon isn't Dragon DomA - 18/06/2010 05:45:34 PM 1712 Views
Ah yes, that sounds reasonable. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 08:28:54 PM 817 Views
If "aman" is the Old Tongue name for Dragon, maybe "DEMANdred" contains a reference to Dragon too... Shannow - 20/06/2010 08:13:35 PM 1727 Views
"Dragon Wannabe" *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/06/2010 09:23:09 PM 667 Views
Lizard? *NM* Gher - 20/06/2010 10:04:21 PM 858 Views
"Scaled Worm"... though I doubt he'd take that name up in pride . *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/06/2010 01:23:03 AM 750 Views
It's probably too much to attempt to guess at the meanings of words... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:58:06 PM 1286 Views
A nice article about the Old Tongue and my ramblings Lordling - 18/06/2010 11:14:24 AM 7710 Views
