A few points darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM
We know from RJ, BS and Slayer's PoV that Slayer got several gifts from the DO. How else should the DO grant these gifts, if not by the TP? Also Shadowspawn like Myrddraal or former humans like the Gray Men have "channeler-like" powers (e.g. a kind of Traveling or the ability to be invisible), which ultimately must stem from the DO, and thus the TP. It's ridiculous to believe that the DO gave Slayer unimportant gifts, since he obviously wanted to create a top assassin.


Even the creator of the Myrddraal had no idea how/why/what their powers were! And we don't have any evidence at all of the shadowspawn were created using the TP! In fact given the reluctance of the Forsaken to use the TP except at great need I find it far more likely that Aginor used the OP to create them.

Fain's Myrddraal Etzel - 28/12/2009 01:45:58 PM 2048 Views
Nope, Myrddraal have been nothing but cannon fodder since book four *NM* Lordling - 28/12/2009 03:01:01 PM 543 Views
except, of course, for Shaidar Haran *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 03:12:17 PM 526 Views
But what was the purpose then? Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:43:01 PM 999 Views
To show the relationship between Fain and DO Bonden - 28/12/2009 03:52:59 PM 965 Views
Maybe... Etzel - 28/12/2009 04:02:42 PM 1010 Views

Slayer also hunts Rand Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:57:11 PM 1032 Views
I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 04:35:57 PM 922 Views
The explanations Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:06:02 PM 1177 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 1126 Views
Your reaction would be similar to BS's then Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:57:44 PM 2042 Views
I don't really have a strong opinion on which suspect did it darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:03:07 PM 925 Views
Well... Etzel - 28/12/2009 06:42:16 PM 969 Views
Indeed *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:55:52 PM 473 Views
Re: The explanations RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 08:01:19 PM 865 Views
The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... Etzel - 28/12/2009 08:13:07 PM 964 Views
Re: The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 10:19:24 PM 1044 Views
The reason is... Etzel - 29/12/2009 11:58:24 AM 982 Views
The reasoning is very weak. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:34:19 PM 1003 Views
If you mean... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:01:25 PM 1090 Views
A few points darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM 921 Views
You are wrong... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:25:09 PM 919 Views
Thanks for the quote .. obviously hadn't heard that one before! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:31:37 PM 1009 Views
Key word - "possibly" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:38:46 PM 921 Views
As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:06:47 PM 890 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 819 Views
Well, it protects you of Shadowspawn, not that bad. Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:12:04 PM 905 Views
I don't think what happened to Fain or Slayer are "gifts" darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:26:15 PM 823 Views
Slayer calls it "gifts" in his PoV Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:37:49 PM 861 Views
I think you are stretching the reality a bit darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:42:10 PM 908 Views
You confuse it a bit... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:57:07 PM 974 Views
I think you've got it backwards darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 07:12:02 PM 877 Views
However... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:16:08 PM 911 Views
I wasn't arguing that point darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:13:25 PM 1144 Views
Some things don't have to be spelled out, if they are that clear... *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:18:05 PM 879 Views
clearly they do since people are discussing it! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:37:00 PM 844 Views
Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:07 PM 939 Views
Sorry, but that is utter nonsense Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:24:54 PM 1030 Views
You are incorrect; I'm actually thinking that you only skimmed certain sections! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:38:37 PM 984 Views
Simply read the books and what the authors said... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:55:42 PM 919 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 890 Views
Ok, then we play dumb, if you like... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:14:58 PM 1004 Views
Because the Dark One is not merely a super channeler. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:21:21 PM 1018 Views
Well, I disagree of course... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:36:19 PM 1159 Views
You are mistaken on quite a few counts. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:37:51 PM 1058 Views
Actually... Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:04:54 PM 973 Views
BWB says... darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 05:48:40 PM 1216 Views
Exactly. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:30 PM 463 Views
Well... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:18:08 PM 1040 Views
Just pointing out that your comment about Lanfear and Moggy not being assassins darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:37:21 PM 929 Views
No... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:47:07 PM 1151 Views
Re: No... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:00:20 PM 1101 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:10:12 PM 865 Views
So you dismiss the actual assassinations the Forsaken have performed on-screen? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:26:55 PM 895 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:47:57 PM 826 Views
I think any Forsaken is capable of doing it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 08:05:10 PM 915 Views
Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:16:50 PM 783 Views
Re: Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 09:21:23 PM 878 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 461 Views
Yeah, after TFoH! We are looking for clues before LoC, guys! *sigh* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:31:13 PM 769 Views
Where did I say this was a clue to her doing it? darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:58:29 PM 1005 Views
I don't say... Etzel - 30/12/2009 12:08:27 PM 1106 Views
Most of what you are talking about with Slayer is discoverd after LoC darius_sedai - 30/12/2009 02:36:18 PM 995 Views
Re: Well... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:41:29 PM 908 Views
It becomes clear... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:59:03 PM 825 Views
Basically, you think Slayer killed him. I do not. Nor do I care. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:04:20 PM 791 Views
Fair enough. *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:17:22 PM 504 Views
Re: Slayer also hunts Rand RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 04:39:36 PM 1106 Views

It's rather the TP, which makes Slayer inhuman... Etzel - 28/12/2009 08:21:20 PM 877 Views
makes you wonder darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 09:45:08 PM 963 Views
Re: makes you wonder RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 10:16:57 PM 961 Views

Fain's Myrddraal killed asmo LOL *NM* aldapelan - 29/12/2009 05:26:22 AM 522 Views
It is quite obvious that it was Mistress Laras. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:35:36 PM 485 Views
Intuitively, even. *NM* Gher - 29/12/2009 06:03:13 PM 464 Views
