not compulsion Oberonus Send a noteboard - 10/02/2011 03:30:24 AM
back on wotmania there was a discussion and I had argued that taim had used compulsion on those 4 and was thus more likely to be forsaken trained.

However in one of Jordans blog posts/question of the weeks he actually said that he didn't use compulsion and instead just hurt them in such a way that all they could really do was serve afterwards.


that claim doesn't make much sense with what was said in the book itself, but thats the official answer



here's what RJ said

For kolp, Oberonus and NaClH2O, what Taim did to those Saldaeans wasn’t Compulsion. They just don’t have the intelligence left that would be needed for anything too exacting.

He can still be a huge jerk though. Darth_Katie - 10/02/2011 01:48:08 PM 1255 Views
Yes, Lord Katie, it's true - he could jusy be a huge jerk. But the odds are slim, dontcha think? *NM* newyorkersedai - 11/02/2011 12:23:48 PM 558 Views
I think the odds are pretty close to one that he's a jerk. Darth_Katie - 11/02/2011 06:25:02 PM 1227 Views
On the other hand, you have one of my favorite handles ever *NM* newyorkersedai - 12/02/2011 03:42:01 PM 566 Views

There has to be at least one 13x13 in the series. Right? RIGHT?! *NM* Ghavrel - 10/02/2011 04:26:46 AM 518 Views
haha, yeah, that too. *NM* uglycat - 10/02/2011 07:36:31 AM 563 Views
Why do you think he doesn't know Compulsion? Voscaia Sedai - 10/02/2011 11:10:58 AM 1056 Views
I lean toward Darkfriend turned Dreadlord (because he could channel) or turned by 13x13 _Big_Easy_ - 10/02/2011 05:47:06 AM 1192 Views

I always took that 'so called Aiel' comment at face value, to be honest . Fanatic-Templar - 10/02/2011 06:38:29 PM 1272 Views
sorry double post *NM* aldapelan - 10/02/2011 03:19:46 PM 534 Views
Well, he's either a Darkfriend or a moron Zeratul - 10/02/2011 03:36:02 PM 1213 Views
I don't believe those are mutually exclusive *NM* Jim - 13/02/2011 04:11:11 AM 506 Views
