Didn't Balthamel and Aginor leave corpses? Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 26/01/2010 04:35:19 PM
We never saw his corpse and Shai'tan never confirmed his death. Therefore, he must be alive.


Actually, of all the Forsaken only Ishamael has left a corpse. Aginor, Balthamel, Be'lal, Lanfear, Rahvin, Sammael, Semirhage, Asmodean and Osan'gar didn't.

Maybe at Tarmon Gai'don we'll face 13 Chosen :P


I seem to recall that Balthamel had fungus and stuff growing out of his, and didn't Rand wake up in the ashes and rags of Aginor's corpse?

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2934 Views
I think Graendal's death was a great scene Etzel - 25/01/2010 05:26:51 PM 1688 Views
