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 1030 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 1065 Views
Or... Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 1004 Views
Re: Or... Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:46:52 AM 984 Views
But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 1053 Views
Re: Not Aginor NaClH2O - 13/09/2009 08:17:28 PM 975 Views
It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 1085 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 537 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 992 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 1158 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 949 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1516 Views

Doesn't Graendal have an Angreal now? Rurouni_Kenshin - 17/09/2009 03:29:10 AM 1059 Views
Re: Graendal herself says... Lanfear - 15/09/2009 05:36:53 PM 909 Views
Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 966 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Watcher - 13/09/2009 06:05:11 PM 1134 Views
I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 1119 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 1004 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 550 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 516 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 456 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 495 Views
Not at all Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 1049 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 898 Views
I'm not so sure about that Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 980 Views
Totally agree Shannow - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 830 Views
I don't agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:33:04 PM 1114 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 933 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 467 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 515 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 530 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 976 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 1193 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 1151 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 915 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 1114 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 872 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 1003 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 874 Views
Probably Sidious - 16/09/2009 06:31:27 PM 1022 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... Sidious - 17/09/2009 05:26:52 AM 914 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 1010 Views
I do think Ishamel is special Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 1083 Views
He's special the same way any individual is special. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 11:36:42 PM 1039 Views

The more interesting question is... AgentOrange - 14/09/2009 06:34:11 PM 903 Views
Hmmm Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:34 PM 993 Views
I think we'll see Graendal vs. Aran'gar. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 07:31:16 PM 1026 Views
Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM 853 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 901 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 931 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 981 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 1019 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 767 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 820 Views
I still like Lanfear more Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:51:03 PM 911 Views
Bah! She's an idiot! fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 07:06:06 PM 923 Views
only in love *NM* Sidious - 15/09/2009 07:23:29 PM 879 Views
Graendal did not beat me and Moghedien Lanfear - 15/09/2009 05:59:39 PM 1015 Views
Agreed Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:36:48 PM 901 Views
Ummm... how do we know? fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:40:57 PM 1037 Views
Re: Ummm... how do we know? Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:56:21 PM 940 Views
