i vaguely remember that the fade in the DF meeting was supposed to an earlier version of SH, but are the clues for this? also should a DO invested fade be as cowering towards ishy as he was?

and lastly have we seen all the DFs out in the world in the books from that meeting yet? or was it just to show how spread DFs are? there was:

1. a shienaran soldier (ingtar)

2. a possible noble illian woman who likes showing off her body

3. a swan necked domani with long black hair

4. a tinker

5. two AS (i guess one is liandrin?)

6. a high lord of tear

7. a high ranking andoran officer

8. a slender male sea folk

rereading the passage i'm guessing the telltale sign from the myrddraal is its smile? is it that fades don't have a sense of humour or something?
