Re: Again, Murandy might be a bit smaller Sidious Send a noteboard - 15/12/2009 04:44:22 PM

I don't understand how Be'lal can have Tear, Sammael Illian and Rahvin Andor - and Demandred some small country in the north. He was also a very prominent general of the Shadow - his army and conquest will be of a similar caliber.


But that doesn't men it's less important. And if Demandred previously managed to cause chaos in almost all countries in the west of the Westlands, it's understandable that he later (around the time of PoD or WH, probably) chose the nation which was still left, namely Murandy.


What chaos did he cause? If it's the dragonsworn it's minimal at best, and now totally routed anyway.

You can't tell me that Demandred has been nomadic since he was released and only recently attainted a country to rule. That would make him the only Forsaken to do so.

Whatever he's planned, I'm sure Demandred will release something that will shock and profoundly break Rand for a time. Murandy is more likely to cause laughter - Rand singlehandedly almost destroyed a borderland army himself. It is almost certainly going to center around the OP - whether he releases the Land of Madmen, or the Sharans, Rand is going to need Mat and all his skill to outwit Demandred and his tactics.

The Dragonsworn made chaos in half of the Westlands. Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:55:00 PM 824 Views
Agreed, only Sammael, Rhavin and Be'lal really laid claim to nations darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 07:12:17 PM 570 Views

I'm just not convinced that this would be a coup major enough to earn Demandred DO Kudos. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 03:06:54 PM 577 Views
As said, controlling Murandy plus chaos by the Dragonsworn in 6 Westland nations. *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 03:11:25 PM 253 Views
well no, arad doman and tarabon were not his.... *NM* mazza3 - 15/12/2009 03:57:27 PM 258 Views
Umm.., care to elaborate? *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:10:15 PM 247 Views
I was pretty sure that the Dragonsworn as a fighting force were destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 04:07:38 PM 529 Views
But the Dragonsworn caused much chaos everywhere they were through the series... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:28:42 PM 517 Views
But that's not the Shadow's aim. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 06:32:38 PM 538 Views
What if the only way to free the DO involves the world lacking the order necessary to contain him? darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 11:59:47 PM 510 Views
I have always said that Demandred is loosely based on Hannibal Barca... Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:29:22 PM 599 Views
Those a pretty flimsy conformities, IMO... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:53:04 PM 560 Views
Of course.. Shannow - 15/12/2009 05:06:04 PM 536 Views
The Seanchan have elephants too ... S'redit I think they call them darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 12:04:40 AM 583 Views

well, it's not like the Forsaken have been particularly impressive thus far darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 06:51:38 PM 506 Views
It's about the impact of action. Timing. amirebram - 15/12/2009 10:53:03 PM 522 Views
Why does Demandred say: "We" will be ready? Why not "I" will be ready? Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:06:42 PM 685 Views

It is insignificant. Fanatic-Templar - 15/12/2009 10:49:20 PM 511 Views
It's importance lies in it's strategic location. Rurouni_Kenshin - 16/12/2009 04:46:20 AM 527 Views
I think some Murandians might mention Trollocs gathering there. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 07:05:29 AM 543 Views
what if they're wearing dresses and lady masks? *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 09:10:57 AM 245 Views
Do the ladies in Murandy wear masks? I don't recall. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 09:24:46 AM 523 Views
masks to look like ladies *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 04:11:07 PM 246 Views

He doesn't? Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 11:37:34 PM 487 Views
Like the supposed unimportance of Murandy, it's a typical misunderstanding... Etzel - 17/12/2009 11:56:16 AM 581 Views

Well that depends. Fanatic-Templar - 17/12/2009 08:33:12 PM 512 Views
As said, it's additional chaos and strife. Etzel - 16/12/2009 12:01:05 PM 907 Views
Its illogical to assume that Westlanders... Heiko - 16/12/2009 12:25:08 AM 523 Views
