I'm disappointed after waiting a week for a new post in the Forsaken thread, it's about Talmanes! Shannow Send a noteboard - 02/10/2012 09:46:48 PM
I'm inclined to give BS a break on the battle scenes. RJ experienced war first hand and BS didn't. The most vivid and interesting books written about war were written by combat vets. Someone who has not experienced it just doesn't have a real clue.


When I saw the post count had gone up to 96 I dashed over here, only to see it's about Talmanes's battle scene, and not a continuation on the debate of the Forsaken strength relationships.

Not your fault, but I just had to share my frustrations anyway.

You left out that Taim and Demandred have met before. Narg - 19/09/2012 06:19:01 PM 1679 Views
Part of me keeps screaming Logain, though that can't be right... Cannoli - 20/09/2012 12:14:00 PM 1622 Views
I thought of Logain as well... Narg - 20/09/2012 06:10:58 PM 1498 Views
We have our answer as to why Cyndane and Moiraine are reduced in power. Nargs - 20/09/2012 05:14:01 AM 1607 Views
It was spelled out before. Terez - 20/09/2012 05:25:05 AM 1423 Views
And some of us guessed that's what happened, we just didn't have evidence. *NM* Cannoli - 20/09/2012 12:04:18 PM 823 Views
Nor a lot of support for the idea... DomA - 22/09/2012 06:28:14 PM 1431 Views

Two interesting Forsaken issues you haven't raised DomA - 22/09/2012 06:21:34 PM 1615 Views

So based on this new info, what is Demandred's big game? Shara or Isle of Madmen back on the table? Shannow - 23/09/2012 08:01:03 PM 1398 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 1279 Views
Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 1985 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 1310 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 1386 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1590 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 1215 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 1191 Views
The world is 25,000 miles by 25,000 miles in size... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:15:22 PM 1300 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 1306 Views
Direct quote from Demandred refutes this... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:49:10 PM 1302 Views
Demanded is much more like Mesaana in his ways darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:55:00 PM 1275 Views
Re: Demanded is much more like Mesaana in his ways Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:36:54 PM 1331 Views
Not really darius_sedai - 24/09/2012 12:31:48 AM 1345 Views
"My rule is secure." Could Demandred be ruling an entire Mirror World? Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:43:51 PM 1380 Views
I can certainly something like this happening darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:50:35 PM 1182 Views
I'm not sure it's possible... DomA - 24/09/2012 03:02:26 AM 1340 Views

Well.. fionwe1987 - 25/09/2012 11:15:21 PM 1197 Views
Thanks for the quote, but reading that, it kind of implies the opposite, to me... Shannow - 25/09/2012 11:35:53 PM 1501 Views
Hmmm.... fionwe1987 - 26/09/2012 12:00:33 AM 1234 Views
Hehe, that old argument again. Shannow - 26/09/2012 12:09:25 AM 1158 Views
Yes. fionwe1987 - 26/09/2012 12:58:03 AM 1129 Views

Nice speculation. I like that type of calculation. Shannow - 26/09/2012 10:59:43 AM 1251 Views
Moiraine lost more than 2/3 of her strength. Siuan lost about that and Moiraine seems darius_sedai - 26/09/2012 04:46:18 PM 1374 Views

As always you forget book 4 is more than half way through the timeline of the series darius_sedai - 26/09/2012 03:58:22 AM 1308 Views
Actually...... DomA - 26/09/2012 02:30:00 AM 1301 Views
Agree with this.. Shannow - 26/09/2012 06:12:34 AM 1096 Views

Graendal almost has to be Stronger than Nynaeve darius_sedai - 26/09/2012 05:57:35 PM 1347 Views
One thing about that... fionwe1987 - 27/09/2012 02:58:56 AM 1231 Views
Possible, but I find it unlikely darius_sedai - 27/09/2012 06:16:56 AM 1147 Views
The reason I think that... fionwe1987 - 27/09/2012 06:25:48 AM 1214 Views
I always assumed Nynaeve at the top was a list he later revised as he decided to bring in darius_sedai - 27/09/2012 06:39:35 AM 1263 Views
Of course that's the correct answer, yes. Shannow - 27/09/2012 08:12:45 AM 1328 Views
