I think Lanfears' estimation is incorrect.

I don't think she knows whether it is possible or not, and was basing her boast on how rare it was to find any woman coming close to her strength let alone exceeding it. I actually think that there were a few stronger women during the Age of Legends, but she personally destroyed them, which is why she is so certain and gloating about it.
And from what RJ said in his Q&A about the Isle of the Madmen, female channelers never formed a White Tower-like organization, but they did take up the task to hunt male channelers, but life expectancy must still be very short given that I doubt advanced techniques such as Shielding or Gentling are known, and we might be looking at huge battles of the One Power every time a male channeler is revealed.
The main point is that we don't know the extent of the "barbarity" that they live in. Are there societies there that have order similar to the Greek city states or do they resemble a lifestyle similar to China in the Warring States period? There are degrees of "barbarity", and it's not enough to just say they are all beyond order just because they never consolidated control in a manner similar to the Westlands.

Lol. So Slayer is the easy solution to every single mysterious death in the series? Dull as hell *NM*

Fain and Slayer

Fain playing a significant role in the LB would too much allude to LotR, IMO. *NM*

I agree. I think this refers to The Great Battle done but the world not yet done with battle

One reason the Murandy-New SL theory makes sense...

They followed Fain all the way to Caemlyn and shot arrows at Rand

Murandy just doesn't fit Demandred. Also, Sammael could have been wrong.

Sammael probably refered to the Dragonswron in the south of the Westlands...
