Re: Assuming Verin is right fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 06/07/2010 08:44:22 PM

Because the Dark One's depth extends as far as Robert Jordan's does, and considering the author isn't a man of divine mentation, I'm pretty sure the Dark One is one dimensional in his quest to win. Trying to make as if the Dark One wouldn't mind losing is an almost untangeable position. Why taint saidin then?

You don't have to be devine to write an incomprehensible (to humans) god. Just as you don't have to be an alien to write about aliens.

Only because Rand is so unique that Shai'tan almost can't resist the urge to turn him to the Shadow. It's almost worth the risk of not killing him.

Exactly. But that isn't a strategy Demandred will accept, which makes him a useless leader.


Because it is the issue. Demandred's vices are treachery and hatred. They're as irrelevant as any other Forsaken's problems. All you need to do is steer a Forsaken in the right direction and tell them to unleash hell, not look for virtues like dedication or loyalty.

But unleashing hell on the field alone wouldn't win the Dark One much. He wants someone who'll help him destroy creation. Demandred's certainly not the man for the job!

Could Moridin be a false Nae'blis whom the DO wants to replace with Demandred? Sidious - 05/07/2010 05:11:43 PM 1394 Views
Not a chance... DomA - 05/07/2010 06:30:38 PM 1015 Views

What about winning? Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:24:11 AM 874 Views
Remember what Verin said? Don't analyse the DO with human values.. fionwe1987 - 06/07/2010 10:20:37 AM 768 Views

Exactly. The Dark One just needs to get free. Then he can break the Pattern at his leisure... Shannow - 06/07/2010 09:48:10 PM 686 Views
Well I agree and disagree Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:55:49 PM 660 Views
Sure. That's for RAND to win. For the Dark One to win, it is as simple as just killing Rand... Shannow - 06/07/2010 09:58:30 PM 608 Views
Says who? Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 10:04:31 PM 689 Views
Because Rand is the only one who can stop him from breaking free. Shannow - 06/07/2010 10:05:52 PM 661 Views
There are many possibilities Sidious - 06/07/2010 10:17:10 PM 697 Views

Sadly no. But it would have made for a more enthralling physical war... Shannow - 05/07/2010 06:54:11 PM 835 Views
Demandred? Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 12:44:56 AM 711 Views
Moridin is to blame because he is a symbol of RJ's choice to make this a metaphysical war... Shannow - 06/07/2010 12:56:32 PM 730 Views
So... Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 06:43:32 PM 594 Views
Agree with FT... fionwe1987 - 06/07/2010 08:11:10 PM 685 Views
I think metaphysics is more important Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:18:49 PM 740 Views
