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


aCoS
Next Door to a Weaver

The carving seemed an odd choice - what people around Ebou Dar called the Thirteen Sins; a man with eyes that nearly filled his whole face for Envy, a fellow with his tongue hanging to his ankles for Gossip, a snarling, sharp-toothed man clutching coins to his chest for Greed, and so on

I wonder if these "13 Sins" are somehow a 3000 year old reminder of the FS ... just a random thought :)

Semirhage is named as "The Lady of Pain" in KoD, by Rand... Shannow - 17/06/2010 11:14:56 AM 1692 Views
You are right... Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:31:05 AM 1302 Views
Do Semirhage & Bel'al actually mean those things or are they other nicknames? Cannoli - 17/06/2010 11:38:18 AM 1152 Views

Gai'shain = those sworn to peace in battle Great Lord of Chaos - 17/06/2010 09:22:02 PM 1024 Views
Gaidin = Brother to Battle ... which is what I think the OP meant to use darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:32:20 PM 979 Views
Presumably he meant "Dai Shan", or "Battle Lord", as he said. Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:37:07 PM 1069 Views
or that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:45:49 PM 620 Views

As always, KOuellette - 20/06/2010 02:25:07 PM 974 Views
I always thought Lanfear probably translated to something closer to a Moon translation darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:43:04 PM 1255 Views
it's the other way around... DomA - 17/06/2010 02:58:33 PM 1040 Views
good point darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 03:13:17 PM 1036 Views
Re: good point DomA - 17/06/2010 04:05:50 PM 1088 Views
Not to mention she STILL hasn't earned a 3rd (or in 4th) name darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 04:16:57 PM 1077 Views
What about Cyndane Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:48:03 PM 940 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 543 Views
Well she earned Mierin *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:27:05 PM 695 Views
how so? I figured mom and dad gave that one too her *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:36:24 PM 565 Views
she earned it by being born... ha! gotcha *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:39:10 PM 540 Views
HA! But technically I think her mother earned that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:30 PM 461 Views
well she earned Eronaile by virtue of her genetics *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:04:36 PM 548 Views
Tee hee ... I'd credit her father on that one *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:31:19 PM 586 Views
Re: good point Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:47:01 PM 1080 Views
Again, a self-proclaimed ownership aimed at making her seem more impressive darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:55:12 PM 977 Views
I disagree Etzel - 17/06/2010 06:20:08 PM 1084 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 1039 Views
I think it's shown well Sidious - 18/06/2010 06:10:55 PM 1172 Views
your own examples show only OP prowess though! darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:54:38 PM 1164 Views
How can you say Semirhage didn't achieve anything? Rurouni_Kenshin - 18/06/2010 01:59:44 AM 1102 Views
I'm partial to Sammael myself. Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 02:24:49 AM 910 Views
The statement makes clear that those 6 were all quite impressive Etzel - 17/06/2010 10:51:49 PM 887 Views
I don't see that bearing out in the text at all darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:57:36 PM 1096 Views
Well, with this point I don't disagree.. *NM* Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:10:34 PM 930 Views

not ballsy, just psycho darius_sedai - 20/06/2010 07:25:46 PM 1078 Views
Like Etzel I don't agree Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:30:37 PM 973 Views
I think she's a weak villain darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:01 PM 933 Views

Re: And Dragon translations... darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:01:25 PM 1026 Views
Why would they call themselves "Spears of the fictional creature"? Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 12:29:49 AM 949 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 984 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 976 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 851 Views
But of course the NT word for Dragon isn't Dragon DomA - 18/06/2010 05:45:34 PM 1206 Views
Ah yes, that sounds reasonable. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 08:28:54 PM 576 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 1250 Views
"Dragon Wannabe" *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/06/2010 09:23:09 PM 424 Views
Lizard? *NM* Gher - 20/06/2010 10:04:21 PM 582 Views
"Scaled Worm"... though I doubt he'd take that name up in pride . *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/06/2010 01:23:03 AM 522 Views
It's probably too much to attempt to guess at the meanings of words... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:58:06 PM 781 Views
