To show the relationship between Fain and DO Bonden Send a noteboard - 28/12/2009 03:52:59 PM
Why did RJ show us that Fain captured and broke this Myrddraal in TSR, followed by some arrangement between them, and finally let Faim take the Myrddraal to Caemlyn in LoC?

Is the reason that RJ just wanted to point out that Fain can control a Myrddraal (which are anyway "cannon fodder" in your words)? Or might it be a little detail, which is largely overlooked, but might become important in ToM and/or AMoL? (the books will apparently feature Fain and Slayer, according to BS)


I think obviously that relationship will come into play in the end, but I don't think the Fade will be that important, its role was to show us another aspect of the Mordeth / DO polarity.

Nope, Myrddraal have been nothing but cannon fodder since book four *NM* Lordling - 28/12/2009 03:01:01 PM 469 Views
except, of course, for Shaidar Haran *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 03:12:17 PM 473 Views
But what was the purpose then? Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:43:01 PM 864 Views

Slayer also hunts Rand Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:57:11 PM 871 Views
I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 04:35:57 PM 793 Views
The explanations Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:06:02 PM 1052 Views
Perhaps, I still don't buy it, but if that's the way it turns out I won't be shocked darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 05:20:06 PM 973 Views
Your reaction would be similar to BS's then Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:57:44 PM 1922 Views
I don't really have a strong opinion on which suspect did it darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:03:07 PM 791 Views
Well... Etzel - 28/12/2009 06:42:16 PM 840 Views
Indeed *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:55:52 PM 425 Views

The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... Etzel - 28/12/2009 08:13:07 PM 829 Views

The reason is... Etzel - 29/12/2009 11:58:24 AM 869 Views
The reasoning is very weak. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:34:19 PM 863 Views
If you mean... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:01:25 PM 939 Views
A few points darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM 794 Views
You are wrong... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:25:09 PM 782 Views
Thanks for the quote .. obviously hadn't heard that one before! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:31:37 PM 892 Views
Key word - "possibly" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:38:46 PM 796 Views
As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:06:47 PM 769 Views
Re: As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:08:09 PM 696 Views
Well, it protects you of Shadowspawn, not that bad. Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:12:04 PM 771 Views
I don't think what happened to Fain or Slayer are "gifts" darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:26:15 PM 695 Views
Slayer calls it "gifts" in his PoV Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:37:49 PM 742 Views
I think you are stretching the reality a bit darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:42:10 PM 787 Views
You confuse it a bit... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:57:07 PM 841 Views
I think you've got it backwards darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 07:12:02 PM 746 Views
However... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:16:08 PM 780 Views
I wasn't arguing that point darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:13:25 PM 1007 Views
Some things don't have to be spelled out, if they are that clear... *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:18:05 PM 739 Views
clearly they do since people are discussing it! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:37:00 PM 722 Views
Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:07 PM 776 Views
Sorry, but that is utter nonsense Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:24:54 PM 869 Views
You are incorrect; I'm actually thinking that you only skimmed certain sections! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:38:37 PM 830 Views
Simply read the books and what the authors said... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:55:42 PM 783 Views
Sorry, I think you have an opinion and read everything to support it in this case. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:02:42 PM 752 Views
Ok, then we play dumb, if you like... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:14:58 PM 864 Views
Because the Dark One is not merely a super channeler. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:21:21 PM 886 Views
Well, I disagree of course... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:36:19 PM 998 Views
You are mistaken on quite a few counts. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:37:51 PM 943 Views
Actually... Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:04:54 PM 840 Views
BWB says... darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 05:48:40 PM 1085 Views
Exactly. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:30 PM 393 Views
Well... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:18:08 PM 893 Views
Just pointing out that your comment about Lanfear and Moggy not being assassins darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:37:21 PM 792 Views
No... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:47:07 PM 990 Views
Re: No... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:00:20 PM 960 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:10:12 PM 721 Views
So you dismiss the actual assassinations the Forsaken have performed on-screen? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:26:55 PM 750 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:47:57 PM 694 Views
I think any Forsaken is capable of doing it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 08:05:10 PM 789 Views
Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:16:50 PM 668 Views

She kidnapped the Sharan's ... who's to say she hasn't killed others? *NM* darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:17:28 PM 403 Views
Yeah, after TFoH! We are looking for clues before LoC, guys! *sigh* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:31:13 PM 640 Views
Where did I say this was a clue to her doing it? darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:58:29 PM 881 Views
I don't say... Etzel - 30/12/2009 12:08:27 PM 947 Views
Most of what you are talking about with Slayer is discoverd after LoC darius_sedai - 30/12/2009 02:36:18 PM 853 Views
Re: Well... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:41:29 PM 766 Views
It becomes clear... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:59:03 PM 695 Views
Basically, you think Slayer killed him. I do not. Nor do I care. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:04:20 PM 675 Views
Fair enough. *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:17:22 PM 455 Views

It's rather the TP, which makes Slayer inhuman... Etzel - 28/12/2009 08:21:20 PM 740 Views

Fain's Myrddraal killed asmo LOL *NM* aldapelan - 29/12/2009 05:26:22 AM 458 Views
It is quite obvious that it was Mistress Laras. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:35:36 PM 423 Views
Intuitively, even. *NM* Gher - 29/12/2009 06:03:13 PM 419 Views
