Its simple really... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 10:02:19 PM
That was, I thought, the most interesting thing of the whole chapter, especially in combination with the hints from elsewhere that the Forsaken don't matter that much, the real Last Battle will be quite different from how Rand imagines it and the Dark One plays a deep game.

So does everyone think that it's just a fairly silly weakness on the part of the Dark One, or is it something deeper than that?

Ishamael crafted these Oaths, and he probably holds the BA in as much contempt as he does the other Forsaken. Like the Dark One, he too looks for ambition and greed in his followers, and it is probably true that someone who had that would never betray the Dark One. Not at the price of death.

More importantly, it may well be that dying after such a betrayal will result in endless pain administered by the DO. Perhaps Verin had a clue about that...

So when do we start executing that FBI agents in the columbian drug cartel? - 31/10/2009 04:51:08 PM 541 Views
You're confusing morality with legality, no? *NM* - 31/10/2009 04:56:55 PM 251 Views
depends what he does in that time I guess - 31/10/2009 05:28:04 PM 633 Views

Not tarnished at all, in my mind... - 30/10/2009 05:16:43 PM 690 Views
Definitely. She was a double agent from the beginning. - 30/10/2009 06:31:26 PM 697 Views
That's the way I'm leaning... - 30/10/2009 07:07:01 PM 625 Views

Verin has reached a point. - 31/10/2009 03:56:44 AM 622 Views
I hope the Verin Memorial Statueâ„¢ spouts water from the ink smudge on her nose *NM* - 31/10/2009 04:25:46 AM 322 Views
Logically, it would be ink spouting from her pen in her hand. - 31/10/2009 04:34:36 AM 550 Views
It should be animatronic - 31/10/2009 04:37:08 AM 581 Views

*shrugs* *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:19:03 AM 306 Views
That would look kind of gross I think *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:24:00 AM 282 Views
gross, or awesome? *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:32:13 AM 303 Views
Come to think of it, it'd look like drippy snot. *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:35:41 AM 255 Views
it should drip into a fountain full of animatronic Professor-looking birds teaching fish how to fly *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:42:10 AM 324 Views
With a flame above one hand, and a pen in the other. *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:43:29 AM 276 Views
There need to be some sort of flashy lights representing her soul changing colors *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:45:03 AM 331 Views
Also, it must be cuendillar. - 01/11/2009 12:00:10 AM 607 Views

So how about that "last hour" part of her oath? - 31/10/2009 04:48:29 PM 620 Views
That's a really strange loophole, to be honest - 31/10/2009 05:04:25 PM 675 Views
