Part of me keeps screaming Logain, though that can't be right... Cannoli Send a noteboard - 20/09/2012 12:14:00 PM
There must be some signifigance to this. Can we get any clues as to what their relationship may be? Has Demandred been involved at the Black Tower to some extent? Was he involved in giving Taim some training at some point (though this seems unlikely given the extremely comptetitive nature of these people)? Or have they only met because Demandred at some point popped in to give Taim an order or assess what was going on at the Black Tower?

I believe he was one of those who gave orders to the renegade Asha'man - that was supposed to be the first hard and fast clue that he was not, in fact, Taim. On the other hand, he didn't recognize Flinn at the Cleansing, which means he wasn't one of the pre-Dumai's Wells Asha'man.

The fact that Demandred has developed a personal grudge against Rand recently makes me think of what a douche Logain was in KoD, but there's too much else that doesn't fit.

I kept waiting for Demandred to be revealed as was hinted would happen in the Prologue. But it didn't happen :(


What has Rand done lately to piss someone off? Bearing in mind that with the way Sanderson twisted the chronology until it screamed in the last two books, we have no way of knowing where this portion fits in relation to events in the normal world. He could just be mad about Rand smoking out the Darkfriends in Tear or saving Ituralde & co in Saldaea, or maybe has just mad about Rand's apotheosis. I can't help but think this is going to be one of three results:
- "That doesn't make any sense! If that was Demandred than how/why... "
- "How the hell did we miss that?"
- Or something totally out of left field that we were given no knowledge of. I'm hoping maybe Seleisin is involved.

Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 1748 Views
If I had to take a guess right now I'd say he has been setting up various Shadow armies thought the darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:30:34 PM 1067 Views
I think at the very least he has recreated the One-and-Eighty male channelers from the AOL... Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:34:56 PM 1162 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1310 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 970 Views
It took Taim nearly a year to train a dozen men to a place where they could teach darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:00:40 PM 939 Views
