I'd recently re-watched and read LotR after seeing the Hobbit and the bit about having 9 in the fellowship to offset the 9 riders came to mind. I don't think Jordan was aiming for that but it seemed like it might be worth reviewing the accomplishments of the bad guys and good guys, and who the top 14 good guys are, to counter the 13 original Forsaken plus Taim.

For my part I was actually pretty happy with the Demandred reveal, I was expected to be underwhelmed so it didn't take much to keep me happy. I do wish we'd seen a bit more character interaction with him. Still I'd rank him pretty high, in terms of overall effectiveness.

So, survey question, 14 Forsaken, how do you rank them and why? Then the 14 top Light-siders, in what order and why?
