The Big White Book says... Yvves Send a noteboard - 12/09/2009 11:46:43 PM
Page 50: Foremost of the thirteen who formed the high council of the Shadow's forces was Ishamael. Believed to be the most powerful of the Chosen in the use of the One Power, he was equaled by none but Lews Therin Telamon himself.


Which clearly puts Ishamael first.

Page 53: The second most powerful man, ... Aginor, came close to rivaling Lews Therin and Ishamael in strength.


Which puts Aginor right behind Ishamael and Lews Therin.

Page 61: The most powerful of the female Forsaken, possibly the most powerful of all next to Ishamael, was Lanfear.


Which puts Lanfear greater than or equal to Aginor, right behind Lews Therin and Ishamael.

Either Lanfear or Aginor. I'm leaning towards Lanfear, which is how I voted before I even consulted the book. Yay gut instinct!

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 942 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 973 Views
Or... Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 913 Views
Re: Or... Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:46:52 AM 885 Views
But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 940 Views
Re: Not Aginor NaClH2O - 13/09/2009 08:17:28 PM 881 Views
It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 988 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 498 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 896 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 1048 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 860 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1429 Views

Re: Graendal herself says... Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:48:37 AM 940 Views
Doesn't Graendal have an Angreal now? Rurouni_Kenshin - 17/09/2009 03:29:10 AM 964 Views
Re: Graendal herself says... Lanfear - 15/09/2009 05:36:53 PM 804 Views
Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 888 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Watcher - 13/09/2009 06:05:11 PM 1041 Views
I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 1034 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 910 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 511 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 481 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 414 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 457 Views
Not at all Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 957 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 810 Views
I'm not so sure about that Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 889 Views
Totally agree Shannow - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 730 Views
I don't agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:33:04 PM 1012 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 852 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 428 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 469 Views
But the third time's supposed to be lucky. So that won't count either. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:26:18 PM 493 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 872 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 1101 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 1056 Views
And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM 821 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 1005 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 773 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 912 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 775 Views
Probably Sidious - 16/09/2009 06:31:27 PM 925 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... Sidious - 17/09/2009 05:26:52 AM 826 Views
I only disagree on one point, I think they are all rather equal in potential, incl. Ishamael RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:28:12 PM 895 Views
I do think Ishamel is special Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 989 Views
He's special the same way any individual is special. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 11:36:42 PM 942 Views

The more interesting question is... AgentOrange - 14/09/2009 06:34:11 PM 817 Views
Hmmm Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:34 PM 886 Views
I think we'll see Graendal vs. Aran'gar. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 07:31:16 PM 925 Views
Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM 747 Views
Yeah. Though I think its no competition. Graendal has got to be better than a walking tree! fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 07:50:09 PM 807 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 842 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 890 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 919 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 681 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 734 Views
I still like Lanfear more Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:51:03 PM 829 Views
Bah! She's an idiot! fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 07:06:06 PM 827 Views
only in love *NM* Sidious - 15/09/2009 07:23:29 PM 788 Views
Graendal did not beat me and Moghedien Lanfear - 15/09/2009 05:59:39 PM 920 Views
Agreed Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:36:48 PM 813 Views
Ummm... how do we know? fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:40:57 PM 951 Views
Re: Ummm... how do we know? Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:56:21 PM 858 Views
