I pretty much agree Sidious Send a noteboard - 28/02/2012 07:15:26 AM
It could well be that the price Moridin had to pay was to allow the Finn's to kill Lanfear. He probably knew the DO wouldn't mind that because she wasn't in good odor with him.


That sounds quite a bit like the sort of answer to have the last word. It's not impossible, but it's incredibly weak/far-fetched.

I have no interest in having the last word. I didn't even have the first word, or any word, in this debate till now!

The reason I find it hard to believe Lanfear was killed after her rescue is that it assumes resurrection is a simple thing for the Dark One. But RJ suggested otherwise. If the goal was to humiliate her, why not horribly disfigure her so that she looks repulsive?


The only reason Lanfear would be killed by the Shadow would be if she tried something, much like when Moghedien tried to use the Power in the Pit of Doom, or if she tried to kill Moridin. She's impulsive but she's never gone after another Chosen before. In both cases her death would be the final one.

Killing Lanfear provides little benefit to the Shadow. It takes a long time for a Chosen to be resurrected and requires a search for a body and other effort on the Dark One's part. We've also seen that people like Osan'gar and Aran'gar struggle with their new bodies and identities. None of this is beneficial and only works because it serves the Shadow better than the Chosen's actual death.

I find it almost impossible that she was killed to remove her beauty, or to provide some sort of fall from glory. Merely disfiguring her like Sammael would be sufficient. Besides that, the Shadow doesnt work like that... Forsaken failures are rewarded by the attentions of SH. We've seen it wilth three of the female Forsaken now. There's no reason to suspect that Lanfear would be any different.

What did happen to Lanfear? - 23/02/2012 10:54:19 AM 3389 Views
I thought Moiraine saw Moridin or somebody in there looking for Lanfear? - 23/02/2012 01:00:25 PM 1501 Views

do souls remain the same strength with each reincarnation though? - 23/02/2012 05:45:40 PM 1072 Views
We can only theorize - 24/02/2012 08:14:49 AM 1167 Views
The Forsaken aren't a great parameter to judge from - 24/02/2012 04:10:35 PM 1021 Views
Without the Forsaken its a pointless subject - 24/02/2012 04:23:57 PM 1141 Views
not all things need to be explained. - 27/02/2012 04:07:21 AM 900 Views
Sanderson doesn't think this is the case - 26/02/2012 12:47:26 AM 1090 Views
I don't think Lanfear died in Finnland - 27/02/2012 02:02:31 AM 1975 Views
I assume this was meant to be a response to Sidious' original post *NM* - 27/02/2012 02:18:09 AM 473 Views
All this could be true and could still have died at Finnland... - 27/02/2012 04:40:50 AM 924 Views

WHen and where Lanfears original body died doesn't mean much to me - 28/02/2012 02:01:00 PM 921 Views

Perhaps ... But doesn't explain what they get out of killing her ... They have proven to be crafty - 28/02/2012 07:17:21 PM 922 Views
Well... - 28/02/2012 08:13:03 PM 1001 Views

Pretty sure it was Slayer - 23/02/2012 04:10:29 PM 1188 Views
He's still a minion, and would have been acting on the Shadow's behalf - 23/02/2012 04:56:21 PM 1005 Views
I corrected you. Not Moridin. It was Slayer. - 24/02/2012 08:07:17 AM 1124 Views
And you know this, how? - 24/02/2012 08:43:38 AM 1051 Views
Really? Its absolutely obvious that it was slayer. - 10/05/2012 04:16:43 PM 1372 Views
Maybe they can only drain a fixed amount - and did so to both women equally... - 24/02/2012 08:32:56 PM 1141 Views

Considering how they feel about anything dealing with the shadow, - 29/02/2012 03:03:55 PM 856 Views
Why not? I believe RJ basically said they are so different from humans that we could not define - 01/03/2012 04:54:40 AM 951 Views
