Fain and Slayer RandAllThor Send a noteboard - 07/07/2010 08:47:48 PM
Fain is probably just hunted by the Super Darkhound Pack (and likely Slayer) and will be killed soon (this scene will probably told by Slayer, who will then reveal that he killed the traitor Asmo as well). Fain's wildcard role is played, IMO. To give Fain yet another power base that late in the story doesn't make much sense.


Seems doubtful to me. RJ didn't initially envision revealing Asmo's killer in the books, and this scene would strike me as too obvious a possibility that he would have had to disregard. I also can't imagine Mordeth's role as a third force or a Rand-Fain confrontation of some sort, built up since TEotW, not playing a role in the Last Battle.

I'm not sure what having Slayer dust Fain off would accomplish more generally. If anything, it would resemble a certain scene in the last Dark Tower book that I and many other readers found unconvincing (which isn't to say that it couldn't work just as unconvincingly in this series, of course).

Fain playing a significant role in the LB would too much allude to LotR, IMO. *NM* - 07/07/2010 11:28:29 PM 499 Views
As would Moiraine returning. - 08/07/2010 02:13:25 AM 572 Views
It depends on Fain's role... - 08/07/2010 08:34:27 AM 431 Views
But what does "wildcard" really mean? - 08/07/2010 03:19:16 PM 443 Views
for a long time i thought shara and their tattooed channeles. - 09/07/2010 05:24:16 PM 451 Views
Fain doesn't make sense from a timing stand point - 07/07/2010 04:46:00 PM 492 Views
Indeed... - 08/07/2010 08:42:45 AM 456 Views
agreed - 09/07/2010 05:56:23 PM 424 Views
One reason the Murandy-New SL theory makes sense... - 07/07/2010 07:19:56 PM 450 Views
That's most likely just coincidence. *NM* - 07/07/2010 11:30:00 PM 214 Views
Riiiight... because WoT is chock full of coincidences. - 08/07/2010 02:12:47 AM 429 Views

They followed Fain all the way to Caemlyn and shot arrows at Rand - 08/07/2010 04:21:14 AM 424 Views
Yeah, I agree, Roedran isn't under Fain's control. *NM* - 08/07/2010 08:38:15 AM 306 Views

Murandy just doesn't fit Demandred. Also, Sammael could have been wrong. - 07/07/2010 07:57:19 PM 686 Views
Here's another possibility - 08/07/2010 02:21:25 AM 524 Views
Another possibility for Demandred - 08/07/2010 03:20:27 AM 442 Views

my problem with this - 08/07/2010 04:59:35 AM 458 Views
Well, I tend to agree with you - 09/07/2010 12:27:04 AM 414 Views
I doubt that you could that easily control the Madmen. *NM* - 08/07/2010 08:44:42 AM 192 Views
Unlikely... maybe even impossible - 08/07/2010 10:14:24 AM 447 Views
Definitely possible. - 08/07/2010 02:06:57 PM 441 Views

not really - 10/07/2010 12:25:31 PM 424 Views
That's factually incorrect - 12/07/2010 12:41:48 AM 460 Views
yes, factually incorrect by you - 12/07/2010 08:02:23 AM 480 Views

I think Lanfears' estimation is incorrect. - 13/07/2010 04:15:44 PM 451 Views
