They have more references in the text, as well as one of the longest entries in the Glossary, which speaks extensively about the Ayyad (channelers). Because the Ayyad are "purebreed" channelers, it seems likely that they will be VERY strong at channeling - perhaps of equal strength to the Aes Sedia from the AoL.
At the same time, I think Demandred is also using proxies to the south - I think Masema and Asunawa are examples, and he might also have some influence with the Sea Folk, who seem to have two major factions right now.
And let us not forget that Taimandred has never been truly put to rest - RJ could easily have been joking with fans just to create more surprise. Taim seems too confident to be anything less than a Forsaken.

You can hardly describe a continent that size as a "barren isle". *NM*
