We DON'T know that Graendal is stronger than Semirhage and Mesaana... Shannow Send a noteboard - 12/11/2009 12:48:32 PM
I believe we had a quote somewhere from RJ stating that Nynaeave with her full potential would be around Mid-level Female Forsaken: Semirhage and Mesaana. (We know that Lanfear and Graendal are stronger than the other female Forsaken).

Also, after the Cleansing, Nynaeave is now at her full strength in the power. Thus, she's likely to be very close to exact equals with Semirhage.


In fact, Graendal may be the mid-level female Forsaken, with Semirhage on a higher level. There is zero evidence that Graendal is stronger than Semirhage.

As for Nynaeve. As late as Crown of Swords, she was still virtually equal to Moghedien in strength, by her own admission.

Semirhage's strength in the Power... Shannow - 12/11/2009 06:57:37 AM 1496 Views
No you did not... fionwe1987 - 12/11/2009 07:27:06 AM 1078 Views
I'll look again tonight, but I'm sure Nynaeve made a comment... Shannow - 12/11/2009 07:33:29 AM 1088 Views
Actually, Nynaeave is far stronger than Moghedian now LordScimitar - 12/11/2009 12:30:29 PM 1030 Views

Wasn't that rather meaningless? fionwe1987 - 12/11/2009 03:26:22 PM 1144 Views
Inconsistency? Lord o' Salv - 12/11/2009 08:53:39 AM 1012 Views
Holding a shield vs. making one... fionwe1987 - 12/11/2009 03:19:09 PM 980 Views
Don't they clearly say one single would suffice but they used 2 for Lord o' Salv - 13/11/2009 04:57:15 AM 909 Views
To HOLD her. Didn't I make the distinction clear? fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 05:04:58 AM 877 Views
Reducing the number of people holding the shield, reduces the strength of the shield correspondingly Shannow - 13/11/2009 07:15:24 AM 851 Views
Not necessarily true (Plus, another possibility)... fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 07:43:37 AM 867 Views
I agree about the angreal, but not the 1 woman shield part... Shannow - 13/11/2009 07:50:26 AM 948 Views
Agree to disagree? fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 08:07:59 AM 876 Views
Sure, just a couple of points... Shannow - 13/11/2009 08:18:15 AM 997 Views

Interesting concept... Shannow - 13/11/2009 08:59:53 AM 1007 Views
The answer lies in a fundamental difference between spinning and maintaining a weave... fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 09:33:00 AM 1119 Views
Yeah, I posted on this Sidious - 12/11/2009 08:53:26 PM 993 Views
Hmmm.... fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 12:42:37 AM 1009 Views
Mesaana thought she matched Semirhage catkin - 13/11/2009 01:45:09 AM 1122 Views
Agree with many points Lord o' Salv - 13/11/2009 05:07:53 AM 999 Views

And that means nothing... fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 05:08:44 AM 1000 Views
Re: Hmmm.... Sidious - 13/11/2009 06:56:56 AM 940 Views
I think Sanderson just doesn't have the interest and knowledge of relative strength that RJ did.. Shannow - 13/11/2009 07:07:45 AM 920 Views

The reason behind our (certainly MY) hesitance to place Nynaeve too high, is Alivia... Shannow - 13/11/2009 08:04:51 AM 1021 Views
There is a simple answer... skill... fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 08:21:25 AM 1013 Views
Except that... Shannow - 13/11/2009 08:49:15 AM 992 Views
We only assume that... fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 09:08:56 AM 1039 Views
Well... Shannow - 13/11/2009 09:25:08 AM 1024 Views
fionwe1987 - 13/11/2009 09:53:39 AM 878 Views
What about Sharina? Sidious - 13/11/2009 09:17:20 AM 876 Views
No evidence either way, but you leave a massive gap between Lanfear and the average Forsaken... Shannow - 13/11/2009 09:31:27 AM 1011 Views
I don't think it's massive Sidious - 13/11/2009 09:46:27 AM 996 Views
I disagree with your last comment Shannow - 13/11/2009 09:58:03 AM 1019 Views
Hmm... Sidious - 13/11/2009 03:57:48 PM 1004 Views
