If I had to take a guess right now I'd say he has been setting up various Shadow armies thought the darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 23/09/2012 09:30:34 PM
So, given the new information, is the notion that Demandred has been training up armies of Sharan channelers, or recruiting male channelers from the Isle of Madmen back as a real possibility?

Whatever he's done, it's going to be very significant, apparently.

Way more significant than just being Roedran in disguise.



world. Using the Ways and Portal Stones to strategically place his armies where he can pin down the Light in surprise moves. Like Caemlyn. It would explain why he is so elusive, he's constantly on the move. It plays to his strength as a General and it explains why he is being left to do his thing ... He could be setting the Shadow up for swift victory on multiple fronts.

Sure he'll have Channelers with his armies, but even back in the AoL the ratio of Channelers to soldiers would have been tiny. Perhaps he's even found stores of weaponized Ter'angreal to use ... Would be cool if he had armies with shock lances and such.

I think we saw them during the attack on Maradon. The Portal Stone attack seems less likely darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 11:41:42 PM 1335 Views
Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 2039 Views
If I had to take a guess right now I'd say he has been setting up various Shadow armies thought the darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:30:34 PM 1365 Views
I think at the very least he has recreated the One-and-Eighty male channelers from the AOL... Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:34:56 PM 1443 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1636 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 1284 Views
It took Taim nearly a year to train a dozen men to a place where they could teach darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:00:40 PM 1248 Views
The world is 25,000 miles by 25,000 miles in size... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:15:22 PM 1363 Views
That is just far fetched ... I think I would laugh out loud if that is the case darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:43:37 PM 1355 Views
Direct quote from Demandred refutes this... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:49:10 PM 1361 Views
