Ishamael/Moridin Sidious Send a noteboard - 17/10/2009 06:44:35 PM

Ishamael has hurt the Shadow more than any of the main protagonists of the Light have.

Even in the War of Power, he was more concerned about turning Lews Therin than killing him. When Rand was born he had direct access to him on countless occasions but tried to taunt and convert him, rather than kill him. This applies to all of the ta'veren.

He injured Moiraine instead of killing her, and she became one of Rand's most valuable advisors, and the reason Lanfear failed against Rand.

Even since his rebirth he has forbidden his Forsaken to kill Rand, and he actively rescued Rand against Sammael. He didn't even fight at the Cleansing, and told the Forsaken to kill Rand only if they really have to.

His desire to have the Dragon as his puppet and subordinate has been the biggest detriment to the Shadow since the War of Power.

Not to downplay Nynaeve BlackAdder - 17/10/2009 08:40:45 PM 1097 Views
Beg to differ, the "endless summer" was VERY important to the shadow NaClH2O - 17/10/2009 10:44:15 PM 1302 Views

believe what you want, but if the weather hadn't changed when it did TG would be over by now. *NM* NaClH2O - 18/10/2009 11:56:09 PM 490 Views
Actually, there might be a better reason for why it mattered. Lord Haart - 10/12/2009 07:03:32 PM 1061 Views

It has to be Moiraine TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:00:32 PM 1116 Views
Actually there were a couple of versions that happened, and Moiraine came in neither. Cannoli - 17/10/2009 05:32:52 PM 1250 Views
So you think the story would have panned out TheCrownless - 17/10/2009 05:46:46 PM 963 Views
None. *NM* BlackAdder - 17/10/2009 08:43:08 PM 471 Views
That's highly subjective ranagrande - 17/10/2009 08:52:17 PM 1037 Views

All of them ranagrande - 18/10/2009 12:09:55 AM 1078 Views
Those were only visions TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 12:45:32 AM 983 Views
They may have only been visions... ranagrande - 18/10/2009 09:19:05 AM 1057 Views

That all goes without saying TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 07:26:06 PM 892 Views
I disagree ranagrande - 18/10/2009 07:58:37 PM 1030 Views

It's almost irrelevant- the Dragon Reborn was Foretold beetnemesis - 18/10/2009 02:07:47 AM 1008 Views
Does that mean he'd win? TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 04:47:56 PM 994 Views
IIRC the prophecies don't say anything about whether the DR will win. BlackAdder - 18/10/2009 05:05:03 PM 961 Views
Not really what I was arguing. TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 05:30:05 PM 961 Views

Someone needs to re-adjust their meds RabidWombat - 18/10/2009 05:55:58 AM 1136 Views
I wouldn't bother justifying yourself to him TheCrownless - 18/10/2009 05:41:42 PM 981 Views
That is true for most people if not all RabidWombat - 18/10/2009 11:28:44 PM 1021 Views
He's got a point though... Cannoli - 21/10/2009 11:18:38 AM 1067 Views

You make it sound very simple BlackAdder - 18/10/2009 10:47:57 PM 1090 Views
No - it is very simple Sidious - 19/10/2009 05:01:44 AM 1044 Views
