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 654 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 248 Views
Well, it's his job after all, thus a logical solution. *NM* Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:18:52 PM 261 Views
No, Etzel... Shannow - 07/07/2010 01:03:20 PM 694 Views
I disagree... Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:18:11 PM 616 Views
And besides... Etzel - 07/07/2010 01:49:04 PM 618 Views

As would Moiraine returning. fionwe1987 - 08/07/2010 02:13:25 AM 656 Views
It depends on Fain's role... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:34:27 AM 509 Views
But what does "wildcard" really mean? RandAllThor - 08/07/2010 03:19:16 PM 533 Views
for a long time i thought shara and their tattooed channeles. nigelgoboom - 09/07/2010 05:24:16 PM 525 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 551 Views
Fain doesn't make sense from a timing stand point darius_sedai - 07/07/2010 04:46:00 PM 571 Views
Indeed... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:42:45 AM 534 Views
agreed darius_sedai - 09/07/2010 05:56:23 PM 485 Views
One reason the Murandy-New SL theory makes sense... fionwe1987 - 07/07/2010 07:19:56 PM 528 Views
That's most likely just coincidence. *NM* Etzel - 07/07/2010 11:30:00 PM 248 Views
Riiiight... because WoT is chock full of coincidences. fionwe1987 - 08/07/2010 02:12:47 AM 511 Views

They followed Fain all the way to Caemlyn and shot arrows at Rand Deadsy - 08/07/2010 04:21:14 AM 505 Views
Yeah, I agree, Roedran isn't under Fain's control. *NM* Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:38:15 AM 343 Views
Re: It all began.... echooff - 08/07/2010 12:11:02 PM 518 Views
Murandy just doesn't fit Demandred. Also, Sammael could have been wrong. Logain - 07/07/2010 07:57:19 PM 799 Views
Here's another possibility scooter - 08/07/2010 02:21:25 AM 602 Views
Another possibility for Demandred Narg - 08/07/2010 03:20:27 AM 513 Views
Sammael probably refered to the Dragonswron in the south of the Westlands... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:37:04 AM 464 Views
What if Demandred's base is... entyti - 08/07/2010 04:52:40 AM 549 Views
my problem with this Deadsy - 08/07/2010 04:59:35 AM 535 Views
Well, I tend to agree with you entyti - 09/07/2010 12:27:04 AM 486 Views
I actually think he only made the island to poke fun at Australia *NM* Deadsy - 09/07/2010 05:13:25 AM 259 Views
I doubt that you could that easily control the Madmen. *NM* Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:44:42 AM 230 Views
Unlikely... maybe even impossible Sidious - 08/07/2010 10:14:24 AM 527 Views
Definitely possible. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/07/2010 02:06:57 PM 527 Views

That's factually incorrect entyti - 12/07/2010 12:41:48 AM 560 Views
yes, factually incorrect by you Sidious - 12/07/2010 08:02:23 AM 585 Views

I think Lanfears' estimation is incorrect. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/07/2010 04:15:44 PM 512 Views
this is why i keep thinkin shara, with their tattoed pedigrees for channelers. *NM* nigelgoboom - 12/07/2010 02:17:53 AM 223 Views
