Not Aginor Sidious Send a noteboard - 13/09/2009 08:36:37 AM
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!


Aginor is not on RJ's list of the top Forsaken. He may have been one of the strongest, but his skills were less than impressive. It's the global picture that makes the difference, not the person's raw strength. Alivia may be the strongest woman in the Light but Cyndane used skill alone to balance the strength difference, and made it an even match.

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 824 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 875 Views
Or... Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 817 Views
Re: Or... Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:46:52 AM 783 Views
But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 808 Views
Re: Not Aginor NaClH2O - 13/09/2009 08:17:28 PM 781 Views
It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 899 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 454 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 786 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 908 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 769 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1306 Views

Doesn't Graendal have an Angreal now? Rurouni_Kenshin - 17/09/2009 03:29:10 AM 829 Views
Re: Graendal herself says... Lanfear - 15/09/2009 05:36:53 PM 699 Views
Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 777 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Watcher - 13/09/2009 06:05:11 PM 909 Views
I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 928 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 787 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 466 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 441 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 364 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 418 Views
Not at all Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 849 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 694 Views
I'm not so sure about that Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 797 Views
Totally agree Shannow - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 602 Views
I don't agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:33:04 PM 911 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 748 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 392 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 427 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 451 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 759 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 984 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 914 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 728 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 832 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 675 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 816 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 691 Views
Probably Sidious - 16/09/2009 06:31:27 PM 835 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... Sidious - 17/09/2009 05:26:52 AM 723 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 778 Views
I do think Ishamel is special Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 863 Views
He's special the same way any individual is special. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 11:36:42 PM 822 Views

The more interesting question is... AgentOrange - 14/09/2009 06:34:11 PM 726 Views
Hmmm Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:04:34 PM 753 Views
I think we'll see Graendal vs. Aran'gar. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 07:31:16 PM 826 Views
Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* Sidious - 14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM 621 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 715 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 747 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 795 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 774 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 600 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 648 Views
I still like Lanfear more Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:51:03 PM 735 Views
Bah! She's an idiot! fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 07:06:06 PM 745 Views
only in love *NM* Sidious - 15/09/2009 07:23:29 PM 707 Views
Graendal did not beat me and Moghedien Lanfear - 15/09/2009 05:59:39 PM 822 Views
Agreed Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:36:48 PM 718 Views
Ummm... how do we know? fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:40:57 PM 843 Views
