How do we explain BS stating that he is "pretty sure Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage?" Shannow Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 07:51:39 PM


Lanfear
Cyndane
Alivia
Semirhage
Graendal
Sharina

As for his comment about Cyndane being weak, well, I think he just totally confused her with someone else.


That the "new list" still contains Lanfear, because she is now Cyndane.

However, Cyndane and Alivia are definitely stronger than Nynaeve. Graendal and Semirhage are very likely stronger. Is it actually stated that Sharina is already stronger than Nynaeve? Otherwise the other stronger women might be Talaan and maybe one or two of Tuon's personal damane.


I agree that Semirhage is at the very least equal to Nynaeve, and most likely stronger.

As for BS, if Semirhage is on the same level as Nynaeve, he obviously would not remember seeing her among the 6 names above Nynaeve, but at the same time, he might want to give Nynaeve the benefit of the doubt between the two.

On the other hand, it might well be that he couldn't remember all six names above Nynaeve, and that Semirhage was in fact among them.

Interesting that there is a clear gap between Semirhage and Mesaana then.

Maybe Asmo doesn't count as a Forsaken anymore and what is MAFO? Dragonsworn - 17/11/2009 05:35:05 PM 938 Views
MAFO refers to Maria, RJ's assistant. Kaldric - 17/11/2009 05:46:08 PM 3090 Views

Do you realise what this means! We now have a clear strength list among the female Forsaken... Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:42:51 PM 766 Views
That means, though Etzel - 18/11/2009 05:48:15 PM 707 Views
I've started a new thread, giving the new, DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list. Yay!!! *NM* Shannow - 18/11/2009 05:58:03 PM 400 Views

It almost has to be Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 07:30:32 PM 719 Views
I agree, Justice makes the most sense plotwise! *NM* Etzel - 17/11/2009 07:49:41 PM 495 Views
But here's the thing.... Light in the Night - 17/11/2009 10:27:55 PM 740 Views
I think the clues still point to it being Justice Matrimony Cauthon - 17/11/2009 10:37:44 PM 882 Views
