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).

The idea is... Etzel - 07/07/2010 12:39:19 PM 632 Views
Lol. So Slayer is the easy solution to every single mysterious death in the series? Dull as hell *NM* Lordling - 07/07/2010 12:57:12 PM 241 Views
Well, it's his job after all, thus a logical solution. *NM* Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:18:52 PM 252 Views
No, Etzel... Shannow - 07/07/2010 01:03:20 PM 673 Views
I disagree... Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:18:11 PM 593 Views
And besides... Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:49:04 PM 593 Views
Fain and Slayer RandAllThor - 07/07/2010 08:47:48 PM 572 Views
Fain playing a significant role in the LB would too much allude to LotR, IMO. *NM* Etzel - 07/07/2010 11:28:29 PM 564 Views
As would Moiraine returning. fionwe1987 - 08/07/2010 02:13:25 AM 631 Views
It depends on Fain's role... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:34:27 AM 483 Views
But what does "wildcard" really mean? RandAllThor - 08/07/2010 03:19:16 PM 505 Views
for a long time i thought shara and their tattooed channeles. nigelgoboom - 09/07/2010 05:24:16 PM 501 Views
I agree. I think this refers to The Great Battle done but the world not yet done with battle RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/07/2010 04:07:05 PM 521 Views
Fain doesn't make sense from a timing stand point darius_sedai - 07/07/2010 04:46:00 PM 551 Views
Indeed... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:42:45 AM 507 Views
agreed darius_sedai - 09/07/2010 05:56:23 PM 466 Views
One reason the Murandy-New SL theory makes sense... fionwe1987 - 07/07/2010 07:19:56 PM 503 Views
That's most likely just coincidence. *NM* Etzel - 07/07/2010 11:30:00 PM 239 Views
Riiiight... because WoT is chock full of coincidences. fionwe1987 - 08/07/2010 02:12:47 AM 489 Views
In any case... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:31:19 AM 529 Views

They followed Fain all the way to Caemlyn and shot arrows at Rand Deadsy - 08/07/2010 04:21:14 AM 483 Views
Yeah, I agree, Roedran isn't under Fain's control. *NM* Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:38:15 AM 333 Views
Re: It all began.... echooff - 08/07/2010 12:11:02 PM 487 Views
Murandy just doesn't fit Demandred. Also, Sammael could have been wrong. Logain - 07/07/2010 07:57:19 PM 757 Views
Here's another possibility scooter - 08/07/2010 02:21:25 AM 578 Views
Another possibility for Demandred Narg - 08/07/2010 03:20:27 AM 495 Views
Sammael probably refered to the Dragonswron in the south of the Westlands... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:37:04 AM 447 Views
What if Demandred's base is... entyti - 08/07/2010 04:52:40 AM 525 Views
my problem with this Deadsy - 08/07/2010 04:59:35 AM 512 Views
Well, I tend to agree with you entyti - 09/07/2010 12:27:04 AM 458 Views
I actually think he only made the island to poke fun at Australia *NM* Deadsy - 09/07/2010 05:13:25 AM 251 Views
I doubt that you could that easily control the Madmen. *NM* Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:44:42 AM 222 Views
Unlikely... maybe even impossible Sidious - 08/07/2010 10:14:24 AM 500 Views
Definitely possible. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/07/2010 02:06:57 PM 498 Views
Now here's a man with... vision! entyti - 09/07/2010 12:24:13 AM 477 Views
not really darius_sedai - 10/07/2010 12:25:31 PM 477 Views
That's factually incorrect entyti - 12/07/2010 12:41:48 AM 538 Views
yes, factually incorrect by you Sidious - 12/07/2010 08:02:23 AM 557 Views
darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 04:40:45 PM 486 Views
I think Lanfears' estimation is incorrect. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/07/2010 04:15:44 PM 492 Views
this is why i keep thinkin shara, with their tattoed pedigrees for channelers. *NM* nigelgoboom - 12/07/2010 02:17:53 AM 215 Views
