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 582 Views
Again, Murandy might be a bit smaller Etzel - 15/12/2009 03:10:11 PM 586 Views

The Dragonsworn made chaos in half of the Westlands. Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:55:00 PM 804 Views
Agreed, only Sammael, Rhavin and Be'lal really laid claim to nations darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 07:12:17 PM 548 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 559 Views
As said, controlling Murandy plus chaos by the Dragonsworn in 6 Westland nations. *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 03:11:25 PM 243 Views
well no, arad doman and tarabon were not his.... *NM* mazza3 - 15/12/2009 03:57:27 PM 251 Views
Umm.., care to elaborate? *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:10:15 PM 238 Views
I was pretty sure that the Dragonsworn as a fighting force were destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 04:07:38 PM 508 Views
But the Dragonsworn caused much chaos everywhere they were through the series... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:28:42 PM 497 Views
But that's not the Shadow's aim. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2009 06:32:38 PM 513 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 486 Views
I have always said that Demandred is loosely based on Hannibal Barca... Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:29:22 PM 575 Views
Those a pretty flimsy conformities, IMO... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:53:04 PM 535 Views
Of course.. Shannow - 15/12/2009 05:06:04 PM 515 Views
The Seanchan have elephants too ... S'redit I think they call them darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 12:04:40 AM 562 Views
Yes, but with so many Trollocs who needs vast armies of men? darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 07:15:08 PM 518 Views

well, it's not like the Forsaken have been particularly impressive thus far darius_sedai - 16/12/2009 06:51:38 PM 483 Views
It's about the impact of action. Timing. amirebram - 15/12/2009 10:53:03 PM 502 Views
Why does Demandred say: "We" will be ready? Why not "I" will be ready? Shannow - 15/12/2009 04:06:42 PM 667 Views
Well... Etzel - 15/12/2009 04:22:57 PM 536 Views

It is insignificant. Fanatic-Templar - 15/12/2009 10:49:20 PM 489 Views
It's importance lies in it's strategic location. Rurouni_Kenshin - 16/12/2009 04:46:20 AM 503 Views
I think some Murandians might mention Trollocs gathering there. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 07:05:29 AM 521 Views
what if they're wearing dresses and lady masks? *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 09:10:57 AM 234 Views
Do the ladies in Murandy wear masks? I don't recall. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 09:24:46 AM 503 Views
masks to look like ladies *NM* Deadsy - 16/12/2009 04:11:07 PM 238 Views
Note to self: Avoid the Murandian ladies... *NM* BlackAdder - 16/12/2009 05:06:04 PM 248 Views
Moridin is gathering the Trollocs in the Blight, as we learn in TGS! Etzel - 16/12/2009 12:13:38 PM 483 Views
A Murandian army is insignificant. Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 07:59:54 PM 494 Views
For example, the Great Captain Bryne doesn't agree with you... Etzel - 16/12/2009 08:25:19 PM 495 Views
Maybe he's based in an alternate universe? BlackAdder - 16/12/2009 09:26:53 PM 473 Views
He doesn't? Fanatic-Templar - 16/12/2009 11:37:34 PM 470 Views
Like the supposed unimportance of Murandy, it's a typical misunderstanding... Etzel - 17/12/2009 11:56:16 AM 564 Views

Re: Surely you jest. Sidious - 17/12/2009 06:35:57 AM 486 Views
Well that depends. Fanatic-Templar - 17/12/2009 08:33:12 PM 494 Views
As said, it's additional chaos and strife. Etzel - 16/12/2009 12:01:05 PM 885 Views
Its illogical to assume that Westlanders... Heiko - 16/12/2009 12:25:08 AM 503 Views
But that is exactly... Etzel - 16/12/2009 11:53:11 AM 502 Views
I agree mostly. It's a common RJ theme Deadsy - 16/12/2009 07:42:39 AM 550 Views

Ah, right that order is certainly out of character with Demandred. *NM* BlackAdder - 17/12/2009 06:40:32 PM 208 Views
