The DO is the real threat Etzel Send a noteboard - 01/12/2009 04:46:32 PM
And his powers are pretty impressive, e.g. swallowing people into the earth, burning them from the inside, turning a village into rabid zombies, changing metal & stones to wax, teleporting people and rooms around, darkening the sky, spoiling food, increasing vermin, letting the death walk, etc.

Certainly even more horrible things - like natural disasters, water turning into blood and an eternal night - will eventually happen (those things are already seen in Ishy's visions at the DF Social in TGH).

All done to weak, discourage & kill mankind.

If the DO then manages to focus his Powers a bit more and let those effects become less random, no army in the world has any chance against it. He could e.g. simply turn the soldiers' weapons and armors into wax, teleport channelers away, swallow others into the earth or fry them, while the anyway demoralized and starving rest of the army is done by the attacking Shadowspawn forces.

Of course, we still know from RJ that the DO will lose. But it will be interesting to see how Rand achieves it.

This is why fanfiction of soap operas and comics can be more entertaining than the real thing. - 01/12/2009 06:09:17 PM 620 Views
Only if the DO isn't quite what we think he/it is. - 01/12/2009 07:19:44 PM 648 Views
Ooo, that's an interesting thought. - 01/12/2009 07:45:44 PM 560 Views
Brilliant idea - 01/12/2009 08:01:39 PM 545 Views
Doesn't that sound a bit too much like Mistborn? - 01/12/2009 10:09:32 PM 576 Views
Not so surprising... - 01/12/2009 10:18:39 PM 547 Views
No, there is no sense that the Shadow can or will win. - 01/12/2009 09:23:47 PM 550 Views
It's why I prefer non-fiction more often. - 01/12/2009 10:26:35 PM 491 Views

With the Deck So Heavily Stacked in the DO's Favor, the Rest Just Makes Things Competitive. - 02/12/2009 12:24:18 AM 646 Views
