Assuming Verin is right Sidious Send a noteboard - 06/07/2010 08:09:02 PM

He does? How do you know? How do you know that Moridin isn't right, and that the DO is patient, and won't mind losing this time?

Because the Dark One's depth extends as far as Robert Jordan's does, and considering the author isn't a man of divine mentation, I'm pretty sure the Dark One is one dimensional in his quest to win. Trying to make as if the Dark One wouldn't mind losing is an almost untangeable position. Why taint saidin then?

But every thing we know about the DO's endgame shows that Rand, a Rand emotionally defeated, but still Rand, is critical to success. The DO (and through him Moridin) have worked to keep Rand alive, and
not because they care for him.
Demandred is just never going to accept that. Should he learn that LTT is critical for the Shadow's success, he's only going to become more jealous, and make it even tougher for the Shadow to succeed. After all, it isn't a simple matter of defeating the Light's armies and killing Rand. That's been established pretty well.

Only because Rand is so unique that Shai'tan almost can't resist the urge to turn him to the Shadow. It's almost worth the risk of not killing him.

It isn't Demandred's morality that is an issue. I don't know why you'd bring it up here.

Because it is the issue. Demandred's vices are treachery and hatred. They're as irrelevant as any other Forsaken's problems. All you need to do is steer a Forsaken in the right direction and tell them to unleash hell, not look for virtues like dedication or loyalty.

Could Moridin be a false Nae'blis whom the DO wants to replace with Demandred? Sidious - 05/07/2010 05:11:43 PM 1367 Views
Not a chance... DomA - 05/07/2010 06:30:38 PM 991 Views

What about winning? Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:24:11 AM 847 Views
Remember what Verin said? Don't analyse the DO with human values.. fionwe1987 - 06/07/2010 10:20:37 AM 744 Views

Exactly. The Dark One just needs to get free. Then he can break the Pattern at his leisure... Shannow - 06/07/2010 09:48:10 PM 660 Views
Well I agree and disagree Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:55:49 PM 638 Views
Sure. That's for RAND to win. For the Dark One to win, it is as simple as just killing Rand... Shannow - 06/07/2010 09:58:30 PM 583 Views
Says who? Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 10:04:31 PM 663 Views
Because Rand is the only one who can stop him from breaking free. Shannow - 06/07/2010 10:05:52 PM 632 Views
There are many possibilities Sidious - 06/07/2010 10:17:10 PM 669 Views

Sadly no. But it would have made for a more enthralling physical war... Shannow - 05/07/2010 06:54:11 PM 807 Views
Demandred? Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 12:44:56 AM 684 Views
Moridin is to blame because he is a symbol of RJ's choice to make this a metaphysical war... Shannow - 06/07/2010 12:56:32 PM 705 Views
So... Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 06:43:32 PM 571 Views
Agree with FT... fionwe1987 - 06/07/2010 08:11:10 PM 656 Views
I think metaphysics is more important Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:18:49 PM 718 Views

I don't think so. But neither do I think Moridin is the true Nae'blis RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/07/2010 02:25:47 PM 639 Views
