I think your making a lot of assumptions darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/12/2009 05:40:47 PM
If all other Forsaken, who took a risk, failed and suffered?
Even Moridin eventually - namely after three defeats and being killed - realized that he should better leave Rand alone for the moment (already before they became linked in the end of ACoS).

Therefore Demandred is arguably the smartest Forsaken, since he simply concentrates on his work (which will be revealed yet), and probably will be one of the few Forsaken still standing at TG, and (besides Moridin) the only one who didn't personally anger the DO yet.


about a character we've seen very little of! For all we know he could be the least intelligent too!

Graendal ended up dead without ever laying eyes on Rand, but at least she had the balls to make an effort

What I know about Demandred:

1. He's building an army somewhere
2. He hates LTT
3. He is well hidden, even from the other Forsaken
4. He has not taken a single open action of his own accord

Not all that inspired to believe that he's got anything beyond Talent for talking big and doing nothing!

Oh you are being unfair! darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 04:49:31 PM 741 Views
LOL. Are you implying Mesaana killed Asmodean? *NM* Logain - 10/12/2009 07:13:27 PM 280 Views
That would be a funny twist, but in reality I think we all know darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 08:10:16 PM 604 Views
Yes; this pretty much matched my expectations - esp. for Demandred. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/12/2009 04:56:32 PM 744 Views
Mesaana was motivated out of... Logain - 10/12/2009 07:16:43 PM 665 Views
Ah, then she would be more of an idiot than I thought. 2nd Rate indeed. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/12/2009 08:19:05 PM 253 Views

But BS said that Shaidar Haran couldn't do things in the physical world without aid. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 11/12/2009 03:20:59 PM 603 Views
I think that just proves SH isn't gay! *NM* fionwe1987 - 11/12/2009 04:07:47 PM 270 Views

I agree, but I think it's about the DO being totally random darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 07:07:17 PM 600 Views
Did he say he could not touch things, or that he just could not counter uber-channeling? Datakim - 12/12/2009 12:30:40 AM 538 Views
I don't ever want to find out who Demandred is Deadsy - 11/12/2009 02:47:58 PM 543 Views

he hasn't really done anything lankyevilme - 10/12/2009 05:25:03 PM 649 Views
But the point is valid darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 05:32:12 PM 788 Views
I'm pretty sure he did something... Etzel - 10/12/2009 05:33:04 PM 639 Views
Re: I'm pretty sure he did something... darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 07:51:25 PM 522 Views
Yeah, but now Graendal is dead, while Demandred is still alive. *NM* Etzel - 10/12/2009 08:29:24 PM 540 Views

I tend to agree Sidious - 11/12/2009 06:52:51 AM 654 Views
I think Demandred is pretty smart... Etzel - 11/12/2009 11:45:58 AM 555 Views
of course he's never set foot anywhere close to anything long enough darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 02:11:19 PM 525 Views
Is it smart to take a risk... Etzel - 11/12/2009 02:22:18 PM 511 Views
I think your making a lot of assumptions darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 05:40:47 PM 535 Views

I agree that Demandred will fail in the end. Etzel - 12/12/2009 11:00:59 AM 537 Views
Either a Channeler or Mat darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 03:41:09 PM 462 Views
According to RJ... Sidious - 12/12/2009 12:32:12 PM 628 Views

Re: makes you wonder Etzel - 12/12/2009 03:47:18 PM 509 Views
Thanks for the BS quote, that's new news to me! darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 03:55:37 PM 515 Views
Moridin didn't want to betrayal Sammael... Etzel - 12/12/2009 04:07:49 PM 507 Views
It amounts to the same thing darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:12:42 PM 543 Views
Then you could also say... Etzel - 12/12/2009 04:22:30 PM 502 Views
no actually you cannot darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:46:03 PM 501 Views

thanks for your permission darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:53:01 PM 513 Views
To be fair, Mesaana's brood of channelers promise could still come to fruition. *NM* RandAllThor - 10/12/2009 04:58:28 PM 290 Views
Yup, especially if she is a higher-up AS in the tower. Lord Haart - 10/12/2009 05:57:12 PM 579 Views
Sanderson's first attempt at portraying the Forsaken based on character summaries in RJ's notes... Shannow - 10/12/2009 05:29:51 PM 723 Views
Well... Sidious - 11/12/2009 06:55:17 AM 558 Views
That was RJ's biggest flaw, IMO Deadsy - 11/12/2009 02:45:41 PM 566 Views
I'll respond to someone who wants to say that beetnemesis - 11/12/2009 05:19:52 PM 618 Views
Ya. Fain's a good exception. I still have hopes for him. And... Thereva was scary, but... Deadsy - 11/12/2009 08:32:38 PM 512 Views
Slayer/Luc/Isam is also pretty cool. Lord Haart - 12/12/2009 04:16:14 PM 518 Views
One theme of tGS was "The Forsaken are actually pretty lame" beetnemesis - 11/12/2009 05:12:55 PM 560 Views
