Re: I agree the Forsaken are all pretty close in effective Strength Sidious Send a noteboard - 27/09/2012 07:23:11 AM
I don't know about that. Her lumpig herself with Demandred, Moridin, Graendal and Cyndane when talking about Taim's strength is weird. It indicates to me that while she may be weakest of the Foresaken, she isn't so far away that there'e many intervening levels where she may expect current Age people to fall.


I'm not sure about that. Graendal said that Moghedien had found someone 'so much stronger' than her... referencing Cyndane, and even Moghedien said she took down far greater opponents who thought that she was no threat. The BWB also says that although she was a greater dreamwalker than Lanfear, she could not match her in the world of flesh.

As for Taim, I think she merely grouped herself as one of the Forsaken. Him and us. He is as strong as us.

I think it points to Moghedien being a big step below the others. Where I would suggest that all of the Forsaken are between 90 and 100, I think Moghedien is sitting at around 80.

Her personality undoubtedly makes her even weaker. Now that she has faced death at the Cleansing, and months of torture, she's become a stronger, bolder woman. She's not stronger in the Power but I think she'd challenge Graendal head on in a duel now.

You left out that Taim and Demandred have met before. Narg - 19/09/2012 06:19:01 PM 1576 Views

We have our answer as to why Cyndane and Moiraine are reduced in power. Nargs - 20/09/2012 05:14:01 AM 1477 Views
It was spelled out before. Terez - 20/09/2012 05:25:05 AM 1323 Views

I'm disappointed after waiting a week for a new post in the Forsaken thread, it's about Talmanes! Shannow - 02/10/2012 09:46:48 PM 1290 Views
Two interesting Forsaken issues you haven't raised DomA - 22/09/2012 06:21:34 PM 1513 Views

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 1180 Views
Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 1891 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 1239 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 1306 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1476 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 1111 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 1112 Views
The world is 25,000 miles by 25,000 miles in size... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:15:22 PM 1207 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 1223 Views
Direct quote from Demandred refutes this... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:49:10 PM 1193 Views
