How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" Shannow Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM


Lanfear
Cyndane
Alivia
Semirhage
Graendal
Sharina

As for his comment about Cyndane being weak, well, I think he just totally confused her with someone else.


That the "new list" still contains Lanfear, because she is now Cyndane.

However, Cyndane and Alivia are definitely stronger than Nynaeve. Graendal and Semirhage are very likely stronger. Is it actually stated that Sharina is already stronger than Nynaeve? Otherwise the other stronger women might be Talaan and maybe one or two of Tuon's personal damane.


I agree that Semirhage is at the very least equal to Nynaeve, and most likely stronger.

As for BS, if Semirhage is on the same level as Nynaeve, he obviously would not remember seeing her among the 6 names above Nynaeve, but at the same time, he might want to give Nynaeve the benefit of the doubt between the two.

On the other hand, it might well be that he couldn't remember all six names above Nynaeve, and that Semirhage was in fact among them.

Interesting that there is a clear gap between Semirhage and Mesaana then.
