my problem with this Deadsy Send a noteboard - 08/07/2010 04:59:35 AM
The Land of Madmen has never been mentioned in the series, unless it was in tGS and I've forgotten.

The only time it's been mentioned is the BWB. I'm guessing 95% of WoT readers aren't aware of the Land of Madmen.


People complain in books when someone/something suddenly comes along out of nowhere to save the day without any set up. I think it should go the same way with bad guys ruining the day, and Demandred suddenly showing up with a ton of channelers from the Land of Madmen would be the same thing.


That's why, between Land of Madmen and Shara, Shara is much more likely. We've heard about Shara several times. From the Jainfarstrider book early on, to the silk from east of the Waste, to Graendal's pets.

If Demandred isn't Roedran (or controlling Roedran) Deadsy - 07/07/2010 10:08:19 AM 1730 Views

It all began.... DomA - 07/07/2010 11:49:39 AM 863 Views
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
Fain and Slayer RandAllThor - 07/07/2010 08:47:48 PM 597 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 584 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 524 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
In any case... Etzel - 08/07/2010 08:31:19 AM 550 Views
Re: That's most likely just coincidence. scooter - 08/07/2010 02:13:36 AM 526 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
Now here's a man with... vision! entyti - 09/07/2010 12:24:13 AM 502 Views
not really darius_sedai - 10/07/2010 12:25:31 PM 498 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
darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 04:40:45 PM 511 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
