Re: Actually, it's why they're still alive. p hart Send a noteboard - 21/06/2010 01:15:19 AM
Forsaken hierarchy was determined by killing those above you. To become important, you had to kill those, and avoid being killed by those beneath you.


I saw this at the time, and never realised it was a reply to what i had written, i'm a bit rusty on the series, where in books is this selection process contained.

Are you feeling all right? If you are, Cannoli is right, and you're pathetic. fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 10:18:54 PM 1151 Views
See my response to Cannoli. *NM* Shannow - 19/11/2009 10:25:15 PM 627 Views

Nobody's even tried to kill them since Ishamael died, until he gave the order again in KoD. Fanatic-Templar - 13/05/2010 01:13:02 AM 926 Views
