Fain playing a significant role in the LB would too much allude to LotR, IMO. *NM* Etzel Send a noteboard - 07/07/2010 11:28:29 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 588 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 228 Views
Well, it's his job after all, thus a logical solution. *NM* Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:18:52 PM 238 Views
No, Etzel... Shannow - 07/07/2010 01:03:20 PM 626 Views
I disagree... Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:18:11 PM 560 Views

As would Moiraine returning. fionwe1987 - 08/07/2010 02:13:25 AM 599 Views
It depends on Fain's role... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:34:27 AM 455 Views
But what does "wildcard" really mean? RandAllThor - 08/07/2010 03:19:16 PM 463 Views
for a long time i thought shara and their tattooed channeles. nigelgoboom - 09/07/2010 05:24:16 PM 469 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 483 Views
Fain doesn't make sense from a timing stand point darius_sedai - 07/07/2010 04:46:00 PM 518 Views
Indeed... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:42:45 AM 480 Views
agreed darius_sedai - 09/07/2010 05:56:23 PM 441 Views
One reason the Murandy-New SL theory makes sense... fionwe1987 - 07/07/2010 07:19:56 PM 472 Views
That's most likely just coincidence. *NM* Etzel - 07/07/2010 11:30:00 PM 227 Views
Riiiight... because WoT is chock full of coincidences. fionwe1987 - 08/07/2010 02:12:47 AM 449 Views

They followed Fain all the way to Caemlyn and shot arrows at Rand Deadsy - 08/07/2010 04:21:14 AM 450 Views
Yeah, I agree, Roedran isn't under Fain's control. *NM* Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:38:15 AM 317 Views
Re: It all began.... echooff - 08/07/2010 12:11:02 PM 451 Views
Murandy just doesn't fit Demandred. Also, Sammael could have been wrong. Logain - 07/07/2010 07:57:19 PM 705 Views
Here's another possibility scooter - 08/07/2010 02:21:25 AM 543 Views
Another possibility for Demandred Narg - 08/07/2010 03:20:27 AM 459 Views
Sammael probably refered to the Dragonswron in the south of the Westlands... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:37:04 AM 418 Views
What if Demandred's base is... entyti - 08/07/2010 04:52:40 AM 497 Views
my problem with this Deadsy - 08/07/2010 04:59:35 AM 476 Views
Well, I tend to agree with you entyti - 09/07/2010 12:27:04 AM 431 Views
I actually think he only made the island to poke fun at Australia *NM* Deadsy - 09/07/2010 05:13:25 AM 237 Views
I doubt that you could that easily control the Madmen. *NM* Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:44:42 AM 205 Views
Unlikely... maybe even impossible Sidious - 08/07/2010 10:14:24 AM 474 Views
Definitely possible. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/07/2010 02:06:57 PM 465 Views

That's factually incorrect entyti - 12/07/2010 12:41:48 AM 479 Views
yes, factually incorrect by you Sidious - 12/07/2010 08:02:23 AM 502 Views

I think Lanfears' estimation is incorrect. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/07/2010 04:15:44 PM 466 Views
this is why i keep thinkin shara, with their tattoed pedigrees for channelers. *NM* nigelgoboom - 12/07/2010 02:17:53 AM 202 Views
