Why? Rurouni_Kenshin Send a noteboard - 19/09/2009 03:25:34 AM
I'm thinking that they want the entire officer corps and most of the force dead. And the Shadow has rarely worried about plausible deniability. And if they strike quickly and leave the effect will be more devastating, especially if only a few men are left.

NaCl(and have a few darkfriends spread rumors of marathdamae amongs the attackers)H2O


What's so special about Tylee's lieutenants? Why can't they be knocked off one or two at a time by the shadow's traditional assassins?

Tylee's force numbered in "the thousands upon thousands". To do what you're suggesting would require thousands of Trollocs. And if you're going to use that level of force, which can't be covered up and will warn the Seanchan of what they're facing and move them towards making a truce with Rand; then you'd be far better of going all the way and launching a major offensive aimed at taking Ebou Dar.

When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.

The prologue gives us strong evidence that Graendal is weaker than Demi or Semi Lanfear - 18/09/2009 03:55:58 PM 647 Views
I'm a little surprised nobody is discussing this. I thought this would get more attention. *NM* Lanfear - 20/09/2009 09:17:57 PM 319 Views
Well, Lanfear... fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 11:33:22 PM 621 Views

I'm going to guess it was Demandred Ryan - 18/09/2009 08:12:19 PM 591 Views
What Cache is in Ebou Dar? NaClH2O - 19/09/2009 12:05:05 AM 618 Views
Because they wanted to destroy as much of the force as possible NaClH2O - 19/09/2009 12:07:57 AM 524 Views
But there's no plausible deniability Rurouni_Kenshin - 19/09/2009 12:50:42 AM 573 Views

Fades are smart enough though Rurouni_Kenshin - 18/09/2009 07:54:02 PM 493 Views
Mesaana's statement gives us a big clue about Demandred's and Moridin's whereabouts Lanfear - 18/09/2009 09:11:49 PM 695 Views
