Hmmm... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 13/11/2015 11:59:41 PM

I think Demandred's statements in the Prologue aren't that clearly indicative that he didn't know what happened to Asmodean. He says:


The Great Lord already knew how Rahvin had died. And seemed to know more of Asmodean than he.

But what the DO says is:


“ASMODEAN, TWISTED BY HIS WEAKNESS.”

This may indicate that the DO know Asmodean's link to him was severed, and even that Lanfear had shielded him. Demandred might have been completely unaware of these facts, and that is what he may be wondering about when he says the DO seemed to know more than him.

Obviously, your interpretation is possible. But I don't think it is the only one, leaving room for RJ's notes to have been from post-LoC as well.

I do wish RJ had dated his notes, or tracked changes.

I just can't believe he was that lazy/sloppy in editing LOC. - 14/11/2015 12:29:47 AM 1625 Views
I thought Shara was begging to be noticed as a last minute foe. - 14/11/2015 02:46:42 AM 1311 Views
So did a lot of people. But... - 14/11/2015 05:27:27 AM 1269 Views
I still tend to think Demandred in Shara was Sanderson's creation - 16/11/2015 09:07:28 PM 1460 Views
He has pretty much admitted as much publicly. - 17/11/2015 03:14:19 AM 1274 Views
Agreed. In fact.. - 17/11/2015 03:19:20 AM 1173 Views

I don't get the Nynaeve note - 14/11/2015 02:32:28 AM 1498 Views
There are a lot of inexplicable notes like this. - 14/11/2015 06:33:11 AM 1365 Views
Nynaeve was one of the few who met the original Balthamel and Aginor - 17/11/2015 08:46:43 PM 1094 Views

It's interesting that stopping Taimandred coincided with the drop in series quality. - 16/11/2015 05:02:38 AM 1689 Views
Some of this could have been interesting - 16/11/2015 04:37:00 PM 1303 Views
It would take away from Verin though - 16/11/2015 05:05:41 PM 886 Views
That is a good point - 16/11/2015 08:52:37 PM 944 Views
For the record my suggestion was not that he was a mole - 17/11/2015 01:56:41 AM 1089 Views
that was clear in your post - 19/11/2015 05:36:02 PM 949 Views
Sanderson certainly did that - 20/11/2015 05:08:03 PM 1120 Views
I don't think I would have cared for that - 20/11/2015 06:05:19 PM 1059 Views
It didn't necessarily have to be "dark", just a bit less two-dimensional. - 20/11/2015 10:00:59 PM 1053 Views
I mostly agree - 21/11/2015 06:38:31 AM 941 Views
This I can agree with - 23/11/2015 04:12:19 PM 903 Views
