That is the question I was getting at darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 26/09/2012 06:00:03 PM
Can you elaborate a bit further on Moghedien's comments on Hesalem's strength in the Power. I read somewhere else that she compared it to Nynaeve's, giving rise to comments that Nynaeve and Graendal might be on the same strength level.

Is there any reason to make such conclusions from the information provided in this scene, or any other strength conclusions for that matter?

Moghedien suddenly seems far more bold. The fact that she is openly challenging a more powerful foe etc...

Did we finally see how the Cleansing changed her? IIRC she thought that if she survived it she'd never be afraid of anything.
Still, I doubt Moggy would have been nearly as bold with the actual Graendal. Hessalam, otoh, seems pathetic. Graendals's looks were everything to her and as Hessalam, she must absolutely loath, well, herself. Moggy finds that hilarious and that makes her bold. And uncharacteristically careless.


I think we are going to see the post-Cleansing Moghedien :)

You left out that Taim and Demandred have met before. Narg - 19/09/2012 06:19:01 PM 1432 Views

It was spelled out before. Terez - 20/09/2012 05:25:05 AM 1203 Views

I'm disappointed after waiting a week for a new post in the Forsaken thread, it's about Talmanes! Shannow - 02/10/2012 09:46:48 PM 1158 Views

So based on this new info, what is Demandred's big game? Shara or Isle of Madmen back on the table? Shannow - 23/09/2012 08:01:03 PM 1145 Views

I think we saw them during the attack on Maradon. The Portal Stone attack seems less likely darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 11:41:42 PM 1046 Views
Just one comment.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 11:53:09 PM 1753 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 1071 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 1167 Views
As I said he will almost certainly have Channelers darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 09:47:53 PM 1317 Views
All he needed to do was train 10 guys personally.. Shannow - 23/09/2012 09:51:46 PM 977 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 944 Views
The world is 25,000 miles by 25,000 miles in size... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:15:22 PM 1051 Views
That is just far fetched ... I think I would laugh out loud if that is the case darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:43:37 PM 1046 Views
Direct quote from Demandred refutes this... Shannow - 23/09/2012 10:49:10 PM 1026 Views
Demanded is much more like Mesaana in his ways darius_sedai - 23/09/2012 10:55:00 PM 1058 Views

Well.. fionwe1987 - 25/09/2012 11:15:21 PM 950 Views
Thanks for the quote, but reading that, it kind of implies the opposite, to me... Shannow - 25/09/2012 11:35:53 PM 1266 Views
Hmmm.... fionwe1987 - 26/09/2012 12:00:33 AM 1003 Views
Hehe, that old argument again. Shannow - 26/09/2012 12:09:25 AM 896 Views

Nice speculation. I like that type of calculation. Shannow - 26/09/2012 10:59:43 AM 982 Views

As always you forget book 4 is more than half way through the timeline of the series darius_sedai - 26/09/2012 03:58:22 AM 997 Views
Actually...... DomA - 26/09/2012 02:30:00 AM 1056 Views

Graendal almost has to be Stronger than Nynaeve darius_sedai - 26/09/2012 05:57:35 PM 1129 Views
One thing about that... fionwe1987 - 27/09/2012 02:58:56 AM 1018 Views
Possible, but I find it unlikely darius_sedai - 27/09/2012 06:16:56 AM 916 Views
The reason I think that... fionwe1987 - 27/09/2012 06:25:48 AM 958 Views
I always assumed Nynaeve at the top was a list he later revised as he decided to bring in darius_sedai - 27/09/2012 06:39:35 AM 1036 Views
Of course that's the correct answer, yes. Shannow - 27/09/2012 08:12:45 AM 1094 Views
