good point darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 03:13:17 PM
Lanfear is formed of root words meaning daughter (of the) night, and this compound word itself appears to be a poetic name for the Moon in the OT. That's most likely not the common name for "moon".

There's nothing pejorative in the name itself, it's not a scron name, Mierin made it up herself.



She's such a drama queen :P

Semirhage is named as "The Lady of Pain" in KoD, by Rand... Shannow - 17/06/2010 11:14:56 AM 1811 Views
You are right... Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:31:05 AM 1378 Views
Do Semirhage & Bel'al actually mean those things or are they other nicknames? Cannoli - 17/06/2010 11:38:18 AM 1225 Views

Gai'shain = those sworn to peace in battle Great Lord of Chaos - 17/06/2010 09:22:02 PM 1107 Views
Gaidin = Brother to Battle ... which is what I think the OP meant to use darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:32:20 PM 1056 Views
Presumably he meant "Dai Shan", or "Battle Lord", as he said. Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:37:07 PM 1132 Views

I always thought Lanfear probably translated to something closer to a Moon translation darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 02:43:04 PM 1336 Views
it's the other way around... DomA - 17/06/2010 02:58:33 PM 1111 Views

Not to mention she STILL hasn't earned a 3rd (or in 4th) name darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 04:16:57 PM 1141 Views
What about Cyndane Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:48:03 PM 1032 Views
It must be her favorite one, since it's the only one she actually earned *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:43:41 PM 577 Views
Well she earned Mierin *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:27:05 PM 730 Views
how so? I figured mom and dad gave that one too her *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:36:24 PM 608 Views
she earned it by being born... ha! gotcha *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:39:10 PM 568 Views
HA! But technically I think her mother earned that *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:58:30 PM 497 Views
well she earned Eronaile by virtue of her genetics *NM* Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:04:36 PM 584 Views
Tee hee ... I'd credit her father on that one *NM* darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 09:31:19 PM 625 Views
Re: good point Sidious - 17/06/2010 04:47:01 PM 1154 Views
Again, a self-proclaimed ownership aimed at making her seem more impressive darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:55:12 PM 1060 Views
I disagree Etzel - 17/06/2010 06:20:08 PM 1161 Views

The point isn't if Lanfear has the skill, it's that it was poorly shown. darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 05:31:11 PM 1118 Views
I think it's shown well Sidious - 18/06/2010 06:10:55 PM 1246 Views
your own examples show only OP prowess though! darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:54:38 PM 1239 Views

The statement makes clear that those 6 were all quite impressive Etzel - 17/06/2010 10:51:49 PM 958 Views
I don't see that bearing out in the text at all darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:57:36 PM 1164 Views
Well, with this point I don't disagree.. *NM* Etzel - 17/06/2010 11:10:34 PM 1001 Views

not ballsy, just psycho darius_sedai - 20/06/2010 07:25:46 PM 1150 Views
Like Etzel I don't agree Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:30:37 PM 1030 Views

Re: And Dragon translations... darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 11:01:25 PM 1088 Views
Why would they call themselves "Spears of the fictional creature"? Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 12:29:49 AM 1009 Views
It was meant as a joke, but really it could be some generic term rather than meaning darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:00:36 AM 1050 Views
Except that they don't know what a 'Dragon' is, except as it relates to Lews Therin/Rand Fanatic-Templar - 18/06/2010 05:11:30 PM 1046 Views
like I said, I was just making a joke of it ... you are quite right with "Rand's Spears" darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 05:32:42 PM 920 Views
But of course the NT word for Dragon isn't Dragon DomA - 18/06/2010 05:45:34 PM 1284 Views

"Scaled Worm"... though I doubt he'd take that name up in pride . *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/06/2010 01:23:03 AM 546 Views
It's probably too much to attempt to guess at the meanings of words... Fanatic-Templar - 17/06/2010 10:58:06 PM 855 Views
