Am I the only only who thinks Shara will attack the Westlands?
Demandred said, "My rule is secure. I gather for war. We will be ready." I can't help but think that the only secure throne would be in Shara. The Seanchan empire is torn apart. The Ashaman are divided and the leadership hardly secure. All of Rand's land is under his control (somewhat). The Borderlanders are Borderlands, and how would he get any of them (other than the few darkfriends) to fight for him.
I definitely think he meant Shara. We know that there was some trouble in KoD, but maybe he has squashed that or his actions of taking control is what caused the trouble. Let's also not forget that info travels slowly and it could have been long over with by the time that aspiring businessman was trying to sell some silkworms. Also Shara's leadership has power that would make the Seanchan jealous.
If not Shara, then where will we get this Darkfriend army that's supposed (according to my wild imagination) attack?
Of course there is RJ's statement that 'we wouldn't see much of Shara' (paraphrased), but maybe he meant we wouldn't travel there. Or even more likely I forgot what he said
. Anyone willing to shed some light on what Jordan actually said, and if they believe Demandred rules from there?
Edit- I forgot about Murandy and the overly suspicious 'looking' King who rules there.

I thought for sure up until KoD's that Demandred was either Taim or in charge of him, but it seems more clear than ever that Taim is a creature of Ishmael.
We also were given conformation in the prolouge that Ishmael is the one preparing the massive shadow spawn army that have been preparing the the Blight.
So for Demandred to have a throne and for it to be secure and of sufficient size and power to please the Dark One, Shara sounds like the only plausible possibly
