In my view... Etzel Send a noteboard - 16/12/2009 12:10:20 PM
Everyone in Randland writes off Murandy as being unimportant. Most of the readers are doing the same thing. Roedran is mentioned in passing (but several times).

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Demandred is Roedran, but that doesn't mean he's not doing something with the Asha'man too.


The clues we have rather indicate that Taim reports to Moridin, but is otherwise an independent recruiter and trainer for the Shadow, e.g. Moridin's colors at the BT or the fact that Demandred didn't think it was possible that Flinn is an Asha'man.

Plus, I don't see Taim and Demandred working together or Taim groveling before Demandred, because both have too big egos and are apparently similarly strong.

But it's still a small country Sidious - 15/12/2009 03:06:24 PM 660 Views
Again, Murandy might be a bit smaller Etzel - 15/12/2009 03:10:11 PM 678 Views

The Dragonsworn made chaos in half of the Westlands. Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:55:00 PM 888 Views
Agreed, only Sammael, Rhavin and Be'lal really laid claim to nations darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 07:12:17 PM 624 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 639 Views
As said, controlling Murandy plus chaos by the Dragonsworn in 6 Westland nations. *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 03:11:25 PM 283 Views
well no, arad doman and tarabon were not his.... *NM* mazza3 - 15/12/2009 03:57:27 PM 303 Views
Umm.., care to elaborate? *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:10:15 PM 272 Views
I was pretty sure that the Dragonsworn as a fighting force were destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 04:07:38 PM 589 Views
But the Dragonsworn caused much chaos everywhere they were through the series... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:28:42 PM 567 Views
But that's not the Shadow's aim. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 06:32:38 PM 617 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 582 Views
I have always said that Demandred is loosely based on Hannibal Barca... Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:29:22 PM 665 Views
Those a pretty flimsy conformities, IMO... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:53:04 PM 612 Views
Of course.. Shannow - 15/12/2009 05:06:04 PM 608 Views
The Seanchan have elephants too ... S'redit I think they call them darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 12:04:40 AM 669 Views
Yes, but with so many Trollocs who needs vast armies of men? darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 07:15:08 PM 588 Views

well, it's not like the Forsaken have been particularly impressive thus far darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 06:51:38 PM 572 Views
It's about the impact of action. Timing. amirebram - 15/12/2009 10:53:03 PM 578 Views
Why does Demandred say: "We" will be ready? Why not "I" will be ready? Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:06:42 PM 767 Views
Well... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:22:57 PM 634 Views

It is insignificant. Fanatic-Templar - 15/12/2009 10:49:20 PM 571 Views
It's importance lies in it's strategic location. Rurouni_Kenshin - 16/12/2009 04:46:20 AM 575 Views
I think some Murandians might mention Trollocs gathering there. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 07:05:29 AM 598 Views
what if they're wearing dresses and lady masks? *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 09:10:57 AM 270 Views
Do the ladies in Murandy wear masks? I don't recall. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 09:24:46 AM 583 Views
masks to look like ladies *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 04:11:07 PM 272 Views
Note to self: Avoid the Murandian ladies... *NM* BlackAdder - 16/12/2009 05:06:04 PM 283 Views
Moridin is gathering the Trollocs in the Blight, as we learn in TGS! Etzel - 16/12/2009 12:13:38 PM 574 Views
A Murandian army is insignificant. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 07:59:54 PM 569 Views
For example, the Great Captain Bryne doesn't agree with you... Etzel - 16/12/2009 08:25:19 PM 578 Views
Maybe he's based in an alternate universe? BlackAdder - 16/12/2009 09:26:53 PM 568 Views
He doesn't? Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 11:37:34 PM 530 Views
Like the supposed unimportance of Murandy, it's a typical misunderstanding... Etzel - 17/12/2009 11:56:16 AM 657 Views

Re: Surely you jest. Sidious - 17/12/2009 06:35:57 AM 556 Views
Well that depends. Fanatic-Templar - 17/12/2009 08:33:12 PM 568 Views
As said, it's additional chaos and strife. Etzel - 16/12/2009 12:01:05 PM 963 Views
Its illogical to assume that Westlanders... Heiko - 16/12/2009 12:25:08 AM 578 Views
But that is exactly... Etzel - 16/12/2009 11:53:11 AM 584 Views
I agree mostly. It's a common RJ theme Deadsy - 16/12/2009 07:42:39 AM 621 Views

Ah, right that order is certainly out of character with Demandred. *NM* BlackAdder - 17/12/2009 06:40:32 PM 237 Views
