I thought that was pretty much the sole province of Ishamael? Verin outright admitted that she didn't, and she's far less clueless than the great majority of Aes Sedai, including the Black Ajah.

I'm not sure what you refer to as 'the price involved' either.


Ishamael perhaps understands the Dark One best, and his true intent.

Yet show me one reader of WoT who doesn't think that the Dark One is evil. If you see that Shadowspawn fill you with terror and lust for blood, and that murder and general immorality is encouraged by the Shadow, it doesn't take much to work out that the Shadow is evil. I have strong doubts that any Aes Sedai joined the Shadow thinking they were joining something benign or good.

The price is becoming a murderer and evil. Maybe some Aes Sedai did only want immortality but the DO has never been sutble about what his Chosen must be.

I'd think the lifespan and power a channeler has are both big factors Gher - 03/12/2009 10:31:54 PM 846 Views

I see no reason to believe Kari was a Darkfriend. Ishamael is a liar, and that's that. Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 01:19:00 AM 662 Views

The same could be said for the great majority of characters in the series. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 04:19:50 AM 297 Views
Also, think of the way Aes Sedai recruit. Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 01:17:37 AM 655 Views
In the Age of Legends, 50% of channelers turned to the Shadow, if memory serves. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 04/12/2009 01:11:35 AM 314 Views
It makes you wonder if they knew the Dark One was "evil" Marshall - 04/12/2009 01:25:24 AM 771 Views

agreed. accepting that power comes at a price isn't evil. it's what drives people NOT to fail... Onarishma - 04/12/2009 08:51:01 AM 661 Views
