Hmmm... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 13/11/2015 11:59:41 PM

I think Demandred's statements in the Prologue aren't that clearly indicative that he didn't know what happened to Asmodean. He says:


The Great Lord already knew how Rahvin had died. And seemed to know more of Asmodean than he.

But what the DO says is:


“ASMODEAN, TWISTED BY HIS WEAKNESS.”

This may indicate that the DO know Asmodean's link to him was severed, and even that Lanfear had shielded him. Demandred might have been completely unaware of these facts, and that is what he may be wondering about when he says the DO seemed to know more than him.

Obviously, your interpretation is possible. But I don't think it is the only one, leaving room for RJ's notes to have been from post-LoC as well.

I do wish RJ had dated his notes, or tracked changes.

I just can't believe he was that lazy/sloppy in editing LOC. Terez - 14/11/2015 12:29:47 AM 1965 Views
I thought Shara was begging to be noticed as a last minute foe. Cannoli - 14/11/2015 02:46:42 AM 1651 Views

I still tend to think Demandred in Shara was Sanderson's creation DomA - 16/11/2015 09:07:28 PM 1831 Views
He has pretty much admitted as much publicly. Terez - 17/11/2015 03:14:19 AM 1613 Views

I don't get the Nynaeve note Cannoli - 14/11/2015 02:32:28 AM 1752 Views
There are a lot of inexplicable notes like this. Terez - 14/11/2015 06:33:11 AM 1708 Views

It's interesting that stopping Taimandred coincided with the drop in series quality. Tom - 16/11/2015 05:02:38 AM 2063 Views
Some of this could have been interesting darius_sedai - 16/11/2015 04:37:00 PM 1566 Views
It would take away from Verin though fionwe1987 - 16/11/2015 05:05:41 PM 1126 Views
That is a good point darius_sedai - 16/11/2015 08:52:37 PM 1221 Views
For the record my suggestion was not that he was a mole Tom - 17/11/2015 01:56:41 AM 1402 Views
that was clear in your post darius_sedai - 19/11/2015 05:36:02 PM 1203 Views
Sanderson certainly did that Tom - 20/11/2015 05:08:03 PM 1412 Views
I don't think I would have cared for that darius_sedai - 20/11/2015 06:05:19 PM 1334 Views
It didn't necessarily have to be "dark", just a bit less two-dimensional. Tom - 20/11/2015 10:00:59 PM 1375 Views
I mostly agree gban007 - 21/11/2015 06:38:31 AM 1198 Views
This I can agree with darius_sedai - 23/11/2015 04:12:19 PM 1132 Views
