a question about Stone Dogs whoohtown Send a noteboard - 08/09/2009 08:57:12 PM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Stone dogs vow to never retreat from a battle? I've always taken that to mean that they fight to the death every time they battle.

But in the ACOS prologue, we see Sevanna order that all the spears advance on the Aes Sedai at Dumai's Wells, and then later in the book (Chapter 40, Spears) we see from the POV of Maeric, the Moshaine Sept Chief, and he thinks about some of the Stone Dogs he had waiting as a rear guard. Shouldn't all the Shaido Stone Dogs have died at Dumai's Wells since they never retreat? Or for that matter they should have been dead at Cairhien.

Am I mistaken thinking that Stone Dogs NEVER retreat or is this a mistake by RJ? OR did the Stone Dogs make an exception to the never retreat rule at dumai's Wells?
I excel at three things: Drinkin' beer, eatin' large quantities of mexican food in one sitting, and sporclin'.
